The first 45 minutes between CSKA Moscow and Manchester United was an insult to the legend that is the Luzhniki stadium. Less than two years ago, it was the scene of United's dramatic (with the Red Devils, when is it not so?) European Cup triumph over a tearful John Terry and company.

United kick off their Premier League defence at home to Birmingham tomorrow with a squad not much different from that of last season. Obviously there were a couple of big name departures but the high profile replacements many expected never materialised and with the possible exception of Antonio Valencia, United will field a team of seasoned Reds when they kick off tomorrow.

They don't stand among our favorite teams but we had a blast covering Man United when they travelled to Malaysia for their Far East tour. All our preconceptions of them were wrong and they're all really nice hombres- everyone from the folks in their entourage to the players!

Rafael da Silva has been pretty close to amazing this season. At just 18 years old and in his first season, he has ousted both Gary Neville and Wes Brown as first choice right back.

So here we are, on the eve of the big Champions League game against Inter Milan and the identity of the man to partner Rio at the back against the Italian giants is no clearer. It was enough of a mystery a while ago when all we knew was that Vidic wouldn't be playing. But whereas back then we thought that it might be Jonny Evans, John O'Shea or Wes Brown who'd partner Mr.
