Manchester United vs Benfica preview: This week round 5 of the group phase is being resumed. This is probably the most important round of the group phase as most of the teams that will progress to the knockout phase are confirmed around the 5th round with only one more round left to be played.
Today in group C we see the top two sides in the group United and Benfica clash against each other. Both the teams are so far unbeaten in the competition and also both have racked up 8 points from their first four games seperated only by goal difference.
So a win here for any team will confirm their qualification from the group phase and also more or less the winner today will top the group. Though draw is also a possibility as last time when these two sides met in this competition it ended in a 1-1 draw at Benfica. For Manchester United there are reports that Rooney might not be able to play due to some injury issues which is definitely a big blow. Still all other top players at the club are expected to take part in the match thus
United go into this clash as favorites though draw also remains a possibility you can expect United to win this one with a 1-0 or 2-0 scoreline.
Result: Manchester United 2-2 Benfica
3' 1-0 Jones (og)
30' 1-1 Berbatov
59' 2-1 Fletcher
61' 2-2 Aimar
