There hasn’t been much of a reason to cheer at Old Trafford lately.
It’s not that United’s been poor this season. They sit fourth in the EPL table, and a win Tuesday could all but guarantee them a spot in the Champion’s League Round of 16. The problem is that for all their talent, United hasn’t scored a goal in two weeks. Fortunately for them that goal was against CSKA Moscow, who will line up opposite Man U at Old Trafford today. Both teams are tied with four points in the Group B standings, so don’t expect either team to play for a draw.
The scoring hasn’t been there, but United’s defense has kept the points coming. They’ve played three consecutive 0-0 draws, and should be welcoming Phil Jones back to the lineup in this match. That will help slow down Seydou Doumbia, who leads Moscow with three goals in UCL play.
