Manchester United vs AC Milan : Preview.

After an enthralling first leg Man Utd will welcome AC Milan to Old Trafford for the second leg in their Champions League first knockout round tie this Wednesday. After a fantastic start to the first leg AC Milan ended up losing the match to Manchester United 3-2 so they face the mammoth task of not only trying to overturn the deficit but also having to contest against three Man Utd away goals.

One of the focal points of this match will be the return of David Beckham to Manchester as the former United star hasn’t returned to Old Trafford since he left Man Utd back in 2003. In the first leg Beckham’s performance was almost non-existent however AC Milan boss Leonardo is still expected to give him the nod to start against Man Utd for the second leg.

In previous seasons Old Trafford has been a fortress for Man Utd however this season in Europe they have managed to secure just four points at home during the group stages so they will look to rediscover some home form when AC Milan visit.

As for AC Milan they themselves have struggled at home this season in the Champions League. However, they have excelled away from home and took seven points from their travels in the group stages including a 3-2 win over Real Madrid so that will give the Manchester United boss something to consider ahead of this fixture.

The key man for AC Milan in Manchester will be Ronaldinho who seems to have rediscovered the sort of form that won him back-to-back World Player of the Year titles in 04 and 05. In the first leg Man Utd got a glimpse of what he is capable of when he scored the opener for Milan after just 3 minutes. In order to protect their slender lead Man Utd will have to make special arrangements in a bid to keep him quiet.

As for AC Milan they will have to keep tabs on Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney who is arguably the best player in the world right now based on his current form. There was a doubt beforehand whether or not he would make the Man Utd starting line up due to injury, however, it looks as though he will be declared fit in time to face AC Milan.

The favourites to progress here have to be Manchester United as they not only have a 3-2 lead going into the match but with home advantage the Man Utd fans will no doubt make it an intimidating atmosphere for AC Milan to play in. A lot depends on the fitness of Wayne Rooney as without him Man Utd are lacking in attacking options however i still find it difficult to imagine AC Milan doing enough to knock Manchester United out. I predict a 2-1 win in favour of United.
