ANALYSIS |

Manchester United are banking on the return of striker
Ruud van Nistelrooy to give them the edge in Wednesday's
heavyweight Champions League match against AC Milan
at Old Trafford.
While the Italian champions must cope without their
top forward Andriy Shevchenko, Van Nistelrooy has
recovered from injury and will bid to improve his
astonishing record of 36 goals in 37 Champions League
matches for the English side.
"You see his record in Europe, it's the best,"
United manager Alex Ferguson said before the first
knockout round first-leg match. "He's a different
animal in Europe."
Van Nistelrooy scored eight goals in five Champions
League games this season before being sidelined for
three months with an Achilles injury.
"We'd have loved him to have games under his
belt but we don't have any concern. We may put him
in cold but if he plays in Europe you know he'll score,"
Ferguson said.
Van Nistelrooy is likely to start alongside England's
Wayne Rooney who has carried his side's attack recently
with Louis Saha and Alan Smith also on the injured
list. Rooney claimed a hat-trick on his United debut
against Fenerbahce in September and has already scored
13 goals for his new club.
Ferguson's men are in terrific form, racking up their
eighth victory in nine matches in an FA Cup fifth-round
tie at Everton on Saturday, and Milan are also confident
after clawing back Juventus's lead at the top of Serie
A.
Serginho's late winner against Cagliari on Saturday
lifted the Milan side above their Turin rivals on
goal difference.
The absence of European Footballer of the Year Shevchenko
reduces coach Carlo Ancelotti's attacking options
but he still has quality to call on, with Dane Jon
Dahl Tomasson likely to partner Argentine Hernan Crespo
in front of Brazilian Kaka.
Milan's midfield fulcrum Andrea Pirlo is fit again
after suffering a knee injury playing for Italy and
defender Alessandro Nesta has recovered from flu.
The Italy international is expected to start in central
defence alongside Dutchman Jaap Stam who makes his
first return to Old Trafford since leaving United
in controversial circumstances in 2001.
If United have a slight edge on current form, the
history books favour the Italians. Six-times European
champions to United's two, Milan have won both previous
clashes between the sides in the continent's top club
competition.
The Italians knocked United out in the 1958 semi-finals,
shortly after the English club's Busby Babes were
all but wiped out in the Munich air crash, and Milan
ended the Old Trafford side's defence of the trophy
at the semi-final stage in 1969.
Manchester Utd are on an unbelievable run at the
moment and I'm sure they can take this confidence
into this game. They are used to winning and with
Van Nistelrooy waiting in the wings and home field
advantage I think they can break down the Milan defence.
The loss of Shevchenko is a major blow to the Italians,
and there will not be a better time to bet against
the Italian giants. Get on Man
