Benfica away from home will probably prove to be the toughest test for Manchester United in the group stages, with a win surely expected at Old Trafford in the return game, but a point will satisfy Sir Alex, who rested a number of players for the opening Champions League game of the season.
Carrick, Fletcher, Park, Giggs and Valencia started in a five man midfield very unfamiliar and uncharacteristically old this season what with the energetic injection of youth in the side in the Premier League. The United manager said before the game: the players in this midfield are in dire need of a start, and resting the players in top form for the big game against Chelsea on the week-end is just a bonus.
