00:00They'll be happy with their night's work in the Champions Cup quarterfinal first leg.
00:04They held Monaco to a goalless draw in the Principality.
00:07A full report on that game in a moment.
00:09Elsewhere in the Champions Cup, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid drew one-all in Germany.
00:14And the all-German tie between Bayern Munich and the holders Borussia Dortmund finished goalless.
00:20And Juventus were held to a one-all draw by Dynamo Kiev in Turin.
00:25So, no goals in Monte Carlo.
00:27And that means Manchester United will surely be favourites for the second leg in a four-night's time.
00:34So far, so good then for Alex Ferguson.
00:36But United's wily manager won't be taking anything for granted.
00:40Chances were scarce throughout the match.
00:42A combination of an uneven pitch and French man-to-man marking to blame.
00:48Samuel had the first chance for Monaco, though he hardly troubled Schmeichel.
00:53Monaco were nothing if not thorough throughout.
00:55United frustrated by the offside trap.
01:00As the game wore on, Monaco created what few opportunities there were.
01:04Lewinsky failing to hit the target from John Collins' cross.
01:08He's in there too. That was terrific, John.
01:11The best chance of the half fell to the Nigerian Henry.
01:15Peter Schmeichel had to be equal to it.
01:20Much of the second half mirrored the first, cautioned the watchword for both sides.
01:25Nicky Butt could have given United the all-important away goal from Gary Neville's cross.
01:32Monaco had their own opportunities to take the lead.
01:35Spire forcing the save from Schmeichel.
01:38Spire's there. It's a good, a good opportunity.
01:42It certainly wasn't Vintage United, but Alex Ferguson won't mind that.
01:47A job well done.
01:48Here, we are going to serve people in the Firewall,
