Key events

6 min: This is a very defensive United XI that lacks tempo. Malacia and Dalot are the only real stores on the wings. Eriksen, Fernandes and Maino do not offer a lot of dynamics, but of course they have the quality of the ball.

4 min: Collys, the young United midfielder, have already done a good job of diffusing some of the early excitement with a few lovely breast traps and passports to help run the visitors.

2 min: Sut, Steaua’s captain, Snarls in a few early challenges in midfield. Every time there is a home touch on the ball, the crowd gets lost. The atmosphere is electric!

PEEEEEEEEP!

We are away in Romania!

The teams are out. Steaua is in their famous blue and red. Manchester United are in their White Away Kit. It is a sale in Bucharest, about 55,000 people wrapped up in the national arena.
