00:45So Manchester United were just a little too hot for Juventus to handle,
00:49and they thoroughly deserved their victory at Old Trafford.
00:52There was a bizarre start to this game all-round.
00:55United were led out by Schmeichel, even though Pallas had been named as captain.
00:59And after just 24 seconds, the captain was picking the ball out of the net.
01:03Alessandro Del Piero played in from deep, and despite the calls for offside, making United pay.
01:10The United fans were left bang for a quick response, and they nearly had it on 16 minutes.
01:15Gary Neville's long throw resulting in a trio of headers from Janssen, Giggs and Sheringham,
01:19but the effort was ruled out for offside.
01:23Then Solskjaer found himself one-on-one with Peruzzi.
01:26The Norwegian shot early when he could have cut inside.
01:30No matter, United were level seven minutes before half-time.
01:33Giggs provided a high-hanging cross from the left.
01:36Sheringham met it with a thundering downward header.
01:39It was Sheringham's first goal in domestic European football.
01:43The Italian cause was hardly helped by the sending off of Didier Deschamps on 66 minutes.
01:49Deschamps took out Janssen and was shown a second yellow card, and then the red.
01:54And within three minutes, United were in front.
01:57The ball broke to Scholes from outside the box.
01:59It was a brilliant finish, but the Italians were seething that Sheringham hadn't been called for offside.
02:07But in the last minute came two goals.
02:09Sheringham cleverly played in Giggs, and the flying Welsh winger produced a stinging drive that beat Peruzzi on the near
02:14post.
02:16But within seconds, Zidane had curled in a free kick pass to disbelieving Schmeichel.
02:21But United hung on to make it two wins out of two in the Champions League.
02:26Jeremy Langdon, Sky News.
02:29So, Manchester United top Group B with two wins out of two.
02:32Juventus and Feyenoord each with three points.
02:34Feyenoord the next visitors to Old Trafford in two weeks.
