Champions League 1st KO Round Second Leg - Manchester United vs A.C. Milan (Mar 10, 2010)

It's going to be an emotional night for most United fans, but more so for United legend David Beckham himself as he returns to Old Trafford for the first time in seven years since his 2003 summer switch to Real Madrid. However, the bigger picture is the fact that Milan have a mountain to climb if they are to progress into the last 8 of the Champions League.

United welcome back their first leg hero Wayne Rooney who was out with a knee injury in their last game against Wolves. Defender Wes Brown misses out after breaking his foot in the same game. Michael Carrick and Ryan Giggs are still missing from United's midfield.

Milan are boosted by the return of Alexandre Pato who could start in favor of Klass-Jan Huntelaar. David Beckham could start on the bench again, especially after Brazilian Ronaldinho impressing in recent games.

I think this will be a very entertaining game and fully expect United to dominate. I think a 2-0 home win is on the cards.
