Manchester United saw off Inter Milan 2-0 in the Champions League round of 16. United seemed to only play well in the opening twenty minutes of each half, and then Inter took over. Inter had three choice chances, but two struck the post and one went wide (2 by Ibrahimavic and one by Adriano). Sir Alex was "fuming" at his players for the sloppy play and little flicks the team started doing after taking the lead.
Both of Untied's goals came from headers within four minutes of the start of the half from Vidic and Ronaldo. Then United tried to coast and allowed Inter a lifeline, but the back four was solid all except for a few shaky moments leading to the 3 chances. But besides those two goals, United also had chances. Rooney stung the palms of keeper Julio Cesar several times and O'Shea just needed to knick the ball over diving Cesar, but instead drove it into his palms.
The game did become slightly chippy when 18 year old Balotelli began picking fights with Ronaldo (a carryover from the San Siro Match). The kid needs to prove himself before he picks fights with the world's best player (as voted by FIFA, not just an opinion.
