Boredom at the Velodrome, Marseille and United 0-0

Bad race between the men of Deschamps and the Red Devils, goalless draw which is probably happy not only Ferguson and his French counterpart on the strength of the walls between friends for the English. Few changes from the day before the two sides: between the hosts preferred to Fanni Taiwo sull'out right as well as Ayew, which takes the place of Valbuena.

Instead surprises guests with Vidic and Gibson in the field with only Rafael and Scholes on the bench. Only two more clear chances in the first portion of the game: 8th Fletcher tries Right from the edge of the area, but Mandanda is careful to lock in two steps. Twenty minutes later the response of Marseille with Brandao, good at stopping and turning with the left half-inverted.

But the shot is weak and easy prey for Van der Sar. Four minutes from time, O'Shea claim a penalty for an alleged handball by Heinze's cross just rejecting the defense of United, but neither the referee nor the linesman agree and grant only the corner. In the second half the three exchange rates can not change the inertia of the race.

In entering Valbuena Marseille for Cisse and Cheyroux and Remy, for United rather Scholes replaces Gibson. The only chance of note happens on the left Ayew, but his bias is too flat and closed off to the left of the mirror. So everything will be decided in Manchester, the appointment is for next March 15 at the Theatre of Dreams.
