The home side had the majority of the possession in the opening 10 minutes, but created few chances as they looked to edge ahead in the tie for the first time.

Wayne Rooney found himself in a strong position on the edge of the box early on, but hesitated as he looked to get his shot away, allowing Bayern to get organised at the back and make the block.

Arjen Robben had the first shot at the United goal for the Bundesliga champions, but could only drag his shot wide.

United did manage to get the ball in the back of the net, but Shinji Kagawa and Antonio Valencia had both been ruled offside before the latter's finish from close range.

Franck Ribery put the ball into the side-netting with a long-range effort, striking it just wide, but it looked like David de Gea had it covered for the visitors.
