Manchester United were exposed as pretenders today as they were completely outclassed by a much more skillful Milan side. A truly embarrassing effort quite frankly. As soon as United took off O'Shea for Saha and went to three at the back, they were immediately rewarded by Milan's third goal. Perhaps Saha was not fully match fit but Man U made the same mistake that Roma did going away to Old Trafford - going into a match with only one striker, trying to crowd the midfield and playing not to lose. They got what they deserved whilst Oddo and Gattuso made mincemeat of Ronaldo.
Milan are a much better team than Liverpool and should win quite handily in Athens but as the final from two years ago showed us, anything can happen in a one off match.
