Analysis:

What makes this match extra special is the fact that David Beckham could set to feature against the club he played with before leaving for Real Madrid in 2003.

United will have bad memories of their last trip to the San Siro, though, as they crashed to a 3-0 defeat back in the semi-finals of the 2006/07 tournament.

Having gone into the second leg 3-2 up, Ferguson's men collapsed under the pressure in Italy and were denied a place in the final against Liverpool thanks to goals from Kaka, Clarence Seedorf and Alberto Gilardino.

Milan went on to win the competition and earn a remarkable seventh European Cup, although United did make amends by confirming Champions League glory a season later.

History is not on the side of United however. Milan have beaten their opponents on their last four visits to the San Siro.

However, Leonardo's side failed to win any of their home games in the group stage and the Red Devils have not lost an away game in Europe since their last trip to the San Siro.

As for the team news, Brazilian Alexandre Pato is set to line up in the starting eleven which could mean that Beckham is set to start on the bench for this match. Mancini has made the move from rivals Inter until the end of the season, even though he is ineligible for the Champions League, as is Ghanaian Dominic Adiyiah.

The good news is defender Gianluca Zambrotta is available after serving a one-game suspension against FC Zurich on matchday six. Brazilian Ronaldinho, who almost made the move to Old Trafford before opting to join Barcelona in 2003 is in form and United needs to be wary of him. He is likely to be paired in attack with Dutchman Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who scored in Milan's 3-2 win over Udinese on Friday.

The absentees are Massimo Oddo who has been out since November with a thigh injury, while Thiago Silva and Marco Borriello are doubts.

United will be without Nemanja Vidic once again as the Serbian centre-half continues to be sidelined with a nerve injury suffered in the warm-up of the FA Cup game against Leeds in January.

It is not known whether Brazilian midfielder Anderson is injured or if he has merely been dropped from the squad. Ryan Giggs also misses out with a fractured right arm, while Owen Hargreaves and John O'Shea remain long-term absentees.

One player to watch for United will be Wayne Rooney as he has been in fantastic scoring form since the departure of Ronaldo.

Take A.C Milan on level ball not to lose this match.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
