Background: It had taken time for Diego Forlan to settle into life at Old Trafford but the Uruguayan striker was enjoying his finest form for the Reds going into this Champions League tie with Rangers. Ryan Giggs had occupied the no.10 role for the previous three group stage games, but for the visit of the Glasgow giants, Forlan was unleashed alongside the prolific Ruud van Nistelrooy to stunning effect.
The goal: A fifth-minute Phil Neville strike had given the Reds a smash-and- grab win at Ibrox a fortnight earlier, but clearly the Scottish champions hadn’t heeded the warning.
