A seemingly meaningless tie takes place at Old Trafford on Wednesday when Manchester United host Schalke 04 in the second leg of the Champions League semi final, while already holding a commanding 2-0 lead in aggregate.

Last week, United ran out comfortable winners in Germany when Schalke were bombarded from all angles. It was only the heroics of out-bound keeper Manuel Neuer that kept the German side within a respectable scoreline. Neuer, who is touted to move to Bayern Munich in the summer, pulled off a string of high quality saves in the first half, without which Schalke would have cringed with shame.

Many expected a tough evening for the English side after Schalke made mince meat of holders Inter Milan in the quarter finals. Having progressed with an aggregate scoreline of 7-3, confidence was high, as was expectations. However, United started the game on the front foot and never looked back. Surprisingly, the first half ended goalless and United felt the threat of seeing their efforts count for nothing. However, a two minute spell in the second half saw two goals, from veteran Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney, as United planted a foot in the final.
