Marseille, still down 1-0 after Javier Hernandez's early goal for Manchester United, have been very much on the back foot for most of the match but are coming back into the match, having generated a few interesting chances in the past few minutes. The latest effort is a 25 yard blast by Benoit Cheyrou, which stung Edwin van der Sar's hands as the goalkeeper batted the ball away. It wasn't a difficult save, but the rebound could have gone anywhere. Fortunately for United, it went straight up in the air and allowed him to collect.

There was a big shout from the home crowd for a penalty, but we haven’t seen any replays just yet.
