Manchester United stamped its class against AC Milan at the San Siro for a 3-2 victory. The result for this tie was amazing considering that the English side had not beaten the Italians in their last four encounters.

Ronaldinho opened the scoring for Milan and he danced the samba in celebration. It was an excellent set piece delivery from David Beckham, the player who loves and is loved by Manchester United, but is now playing on loan to Milan.

Paul Scholes leveled before half-time, though it was still a nervy game for the visitors. Then the magnificent Wayne Rooney scored two goals for United. These are his first two European goals for the season, bringing his overall goal tally to 25.

Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Rooney’s performance. The player had matured since Ronaldo left for Real Madrid.

Beckham, on the other hand, had a very good game, but Milan had missed so many chances. Clarence Seedorf contributed a late goal, an awesome backheel, that left the United goalie scratching his head. But it was not enough.

Second leg will be on March 10 at the Old Trafford. Manchester United can wrap it up, or AC Milan can pull surprises. Who knows?
