Manchester United v Bayern Munich - as it happened

Manchester United: Van der Sar, Rafael Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Gibson, Valencia, Rooney, Nani.
Subs: Kuszczak, Berbatov, Giggs, Scholes, O'Shea, Jonathan Evans, Macheda.

Bayern Munich: Butt, Lahm, Van Buyten, Demichelis, Badstuber, Robben, Van Bommel, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Olic, Muller.
Subs: Rensing, Altintop, Klose, Pranjic, Contento, Gomez, Tymoschuk.
Darren Gibson was picked for his ability to shoot from distance, so what about this! Rafael walks down the right, dinks the ball inside to Rooney, who shuttles it on to Gibson, level with the right-hand post, just outside the area. Gibson takes the bouncing ball first time, and hammers a clever shot around Demichelis and into the bottom right corner. Butt should have done better, but that was super stuff.

5 min: United win a corner on the left. It's swung into the near post, Butt punching clear, albeit not particularly convincingly. This is a typically storming start from United.
