CSKA Moscow vs Manchester United Highlights: UEFA Champions League

Antonio Valencia struck a late winner as Manchester United maintained their unbeaten streak in Champions League Group B at the expense of CSKA Moscow.

Chances were rare to come on the artificial surface at Luzhniki Stadium but United finished strongly.

Valencia, who celebrated his first United goal last weekend, doubled his tally for the club five minutes from time, moments after rattling the wood-work with a fierce drive.

Nani had earlier gone close with a firm header from a Gary Neville cross while a bouncing 35-yard effort from Paul Scholes in the first half forced CSKA stopper Igor Akinfeev to save.

United, who are now well on course for a berth in the knockout stages, can now look forward to Sunday’s Premier League trip to troubled rivals Liverpool in high spirits.

With Anfield in mind, Sir Alex made five changes from the side victorious over Bolton last time out.

Nemanja Vidic returned to the heart of defence while John O’Shea and Scholes were included in central midfield. Nani and Fabio also came in on the left and struck a good attacking partnership on a flank that proved United’s most productive route forward.
