Manchester United kick off the second half defending the 1-0 lead handed to them very early by some abysmal Marseille defending, but the home side aren't entirely comfortable just yet. We've seen the visitors go forward with something approaching real menace in the latter stages of the first half - they know they need a goal to level the match and send them through to the next round. Expect even more attacking determination from Didier Deschamps' side in this half, something that may suit United as they look to hit hard on the counterattack.

The first real action of the second half saw Patrice Evra felling Loic Remy with a rather nasty foul on the winger, sliding into Remy and clipping his knee in the process. Bizarrely, no yellow card was produced. From the free kick, Andre-Pierre Gignac was within a yard of being set free on goal, but Edwin van der Sar just about beat the striker to the ball to save his side a goal.
