1. #CHAMPIONS LEAGUE As expected, Manchester United booked their place in the European Cup decider with a comfortable 4-1 (6-1 agg.) win over Schalke 04 in Old Trafford last night.

Darron Gibson was the star of the first half, playing Antonio Valencia in for the opener before following up with a goal of his own. Jose Manuel Jurado pulled one back for the visitors in the 35th minute before Anderson completed the rout with second-half brace.
