Well, just one last night – his first in almost a year, but an important one for Manchester United.

Another game which United did not control, although the players did not give away the little possession they had as easily as they did in the first leg.

On one hand, I felt it was an underwhelming performance. United fans have been pampered with attacking football throughout the season. Lately, there have been lots of draws, a couple of narrow wins and that unfortunate debacle at Stamford Bridge.

On the other hand, United are back in the European Cup final! Restricting Barcelona to no goals over two games takes some doing. So what if the match stats look damning?

Moscow, here we come! Bring on Chelsea or Liverpool.

Unrelated note: If Thaksin sacks Eriksson, he’s nuts. Owners and fans don’t give managers any time to build a team. Good luck to the blue half of Manchester.
