- 86'
One pass too many, and the move breaks down. As Olympiakos launch a forlorn forward move, O'Shea is there to clear
- 85'
Veron, in midfield, at walking pace. All the time he could wish for. Now Neville, now Beckham...

Forlan is on and Scholes makes way. Can Forlan finally get his goal from open play tonight?

And, as you'd expect, the finish is crisp and clean. It's 4-0 to United, and it's been every bit as one-sided as that suggests
- 77'
Veron finds Scholes, who nicks the ball through to Solskjaer inside the area...
- 75'
It doesn't lead to anything... Diego Forlan could be joining the fray soon. He's warming up
- 75'
Fortune perseveres after a poor pass from Silvestre on the left - and he regains possession. Good work from the substitute

Ferdinand's back on his feet - no cause for alarm for United and their multi-million pound signing
- 73'
Ferdinand down after a challenge - a clash of heads. Amanatidis comes off and on comes Christos Patsatzoglou
- 72'
Silvestre goes into the area and is challenged by Amanatidis. Vague appeals for a penalty, appeals which leave the referee disdainfully underwhelmed
