AC Milan vs Manchester United : Preview.

The Champions League is back after a long, excruciating break and what a way for it to return with a mouth watering tie between AC Milan and Man Utd inside the San Siro. It really doesn’t get much more glamourous than this although this fixture has an extra bit of spice added with ex Manchester United supremo David Beckham now sporting the AC Milan shirt. This will be the first time that David Beckham has faced Man Utd since he left the club back in 2003 and it will be interesting to see what he can pull out of the bag against his boyhood club.

In the past AC Milan and Man Utd have met each other four times in European knock out competition with the Milan club winning all four fixtures. This will undoubtedly give AC Milan a certain physcological edge over Man Utd especially for the first leg in the San Siro. That does not neccesarily mean however that AC Milan will be favourites as Man Utd are a quality side and with Wayne Rooney playing the way that he is at the moment you fancy him to win games single handedly most times he steps foot onto the grass.

If you were to look at more recent form in the Champions League then you would have to value Man Utd as the favourites as Manchester United have not lost an away tie in the Champions League since 2007. As a matter of fact that match was in the San Siro against AC Milan in the semi finals. However, this season AC Milan have not won a single match at home in the Champions League so that may be praying on the mind of Leonardo’s players.

In truth it is almost impossible to label a favourite between these two teams as both are highly experienced competitors at this level and both have players who are capable of sparking something special out of nothing.

One downside for Man Utd will be the absence of Nemanja Vidic who is still out with nerve damage in his leg and is yet to feature for Manchester United in 2010. This means that Sir Alex will have to choose from Johnny Evans and Wes Brown to partner Rio Ferdinand in the middle of the Man Utd rear guard. United legend Ryan Giggs will also miss out after fracturing his arm at the weekend so will stay at home along with Vidic as does Anderson who has not made the squad for reasons unknown.
