Have to say, this line up is working great so far, and we still have a fresh Rooney to come on!
 
Van Persie has been great :confused:

The tactic is to have him hold the ball up and release welbeck.

Persie hasn't been anywhere near great. He's had some nice touches and held it up well tonight, but certainly not at his best. Same in the first leg, him at his best he'd of had a goal that night. In fairness, he has done a job defensively on corners. Not putting him down, he's been good, just not at his best. World class though, so he's capable of a moment of magic at any stage.
 
Rooney to come on?
 
YES! Half the game gone. So far so good.

Giggs amazing so far, hopefully we can get 20 more minutes off him after the break.

Which player HAS been at their best tonight? Varane maybe? Not much anyway.
 
Phewwwww. Plan coming together. :)
 
So far, so good.

Welbeck has been superb. Need to get Nani more involved, he looks dangerous every time he goes forward.

Varane is class.
 
Good half that, only gonna get more nervy from here on though...
 
Half time and we've kept them out as well as you could wish for. Shame about that header against the post.

What a fecking defender that Varane is.
 
Get Nani and Welbeck linking more on that wing, they are causing all sorts of trouble.

Good half though.
 
Big respect to Giggs and Welbeck, they both have been amazing.I wish Nani would stop taking corner kicks because he's simply shit at them.
Other than that, so far so good really.
 
feck sake United! Could have scored 3 to make it easier on my nerves.
 
Well that was quite encouraging. We've stuck to our gameplan superbly. But we really need to find a way to score first in the second half. It will swing things massively our way. Giggs, Nani and Welbeck have looked quite threatening going forward. Van Persie needs more service to shine.
 
What a Half. Completely went the way we wanted. Madrid not looking threatening at all. We've clearly had the better chances. Rooney coming on for welbeck around the 60' mark will only cause more headache to them. We have a decent grip on the game. Half the job done. Cmon!
