Elite-level football on a Tuesday teatime - sometimes it's not a bad old life. And make no mistake, we're watching contenders here. As Chelsea winning the thing proved, United could've been good enough last season, but a disgraceful performance in Turkey was followed by a profligate one at home to Paris, so they went to Leipzig in the final group game needing a point and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lost his nerve, sending out a needlessly defensive side that got battered in the first half.
Well, that won't happen again. We've not seen three at the back from United since, and the standard of attackers in the squad is such that they can take any team apart on any given day. They might still lack a midfielder to control games, but you can be sure that no side will relish facing them and they'll want to lay down a marker tonight.
