Play by play
- 91'
United win 2-0 on the night and 2-0 on aggregate. Mourinho and Ferguson share a handskae and a hug and the old enemies prepare for a glass of wine in. United into the quarters and the quintuple remains on.
- 91'
And that's full-time.
- 90'
Ronaldo stretches his legs down the right wing with a run, a trick, a turn and a pass back where he;s come from.
- 89'
Berbatov hits a crazy ball down the line aimed at no-one. Perhaps it's his enigmatic version of time wasting?
- 88'
Mourinho is stood on the touchline - he looks a bit unhappy, but there's no histrionics. And certainly no pitch-length celebration runs like on his famous visit and victory to this ground five years ago as Porto knocked United out.
- 88'
United fans now cheering every United players' touch.
- 87'
Ronaldo pulls a out a few tricks with the game safe - Adriano blocks him off, less than amused.
- 86'
Old Trafford begins to celebrate victory with some songs and mocking jeers as yet again Zlatan Ibrahimovich makes a mockery of his "genius" reputation with a terrible attempt to pass the ball through four defends with his studs... madness
- 85'
Rooney - who was starting to look a bit too fired-up - is subbed. He leaves the game and Park Ji-Sung comes on.
- 84'
Ronaldo drills a freekick straight at Cesar who parries the shot wide - great power in Ronaldo's drive.
- 83'
Inter are having no luck - Figo is ruled to have fouled Anderson when if anything it was the other way round. Bad decision
- 82'
Freekick to United for a foul by Cordoba on Berbatov
- 81'
Anderson and Rooney combine to out-muscle Zanetti
- 80'
Ten to go and with no Inter rabbits having appeared it looks bleak for the Italians.
- 79'
Zlatan with a half-hearted toe-poke on Van der Sar's goal - so lame was the effort you thought there was an offside call... strange.
- 78'
That said Adriano looks interested and dangerous, dropping deep to win the ball and fighting for his side; shame no-one else is right now.
- 77'
The wind is out of Inter's sails; strangely for a Mourinho side they look robbed of all belief and confidence.
- 75'
In other games Porto are going through on away goals - as it stands - they are 0-0 on the night with Atletico Madrid after a 2-2 draw in the first leg. Extra-time and penalties beckon for Arsenal who are 1-down on the night but 1-1 on aggregate with Roma. Barca are going through 5-3 on aggregate against Lyon - 4-2 on the night to the Catalan side. And, the one you all want to know: Barnsley Reserves beat Bradford Reserves 2-1.
- 74'
Somehow Zlatan manages, instead of heading the ball into the goal, to let the ball hit him in the face a cannon wide of the goal. Evra mis-timed the jump letting the striker in, but Inter's Swede got it all wrong - a comical, but costly mess.
- 73'
Berbatov threads a perfectly angled ball through for Ronaldo, but the pace on the pass is too strong for the Portuguese and Cesar claims the ball - nice idea.
- 72'
About 20mins to go and unless Inter pull an extraordinary rabbit out of an unlikely looking hat United will be in the Champions League quarter-finals.
- 71'
A freekick is Inter's and a yellowcard is Rooney's for a lunge on the galloping Maicon.
- 70'
A change for United, too. Scholes has done his work for the night and he is applauded off as Anderson replaces him.
- 70'
Indeed it is Balotelli who makes way as Inter bring on Luis Figo - remember him?
- 69'
Evra looks a little unhappy to be clattered into by a grumpy looking Balotelli
