Sir Alex Ferguson hailed his team after their impressive 2-0 win at Roma.
Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo - his 36th of the season - and Wayne Rooney put
United in the driving seat with a 2-0 win over Roma to take into the second leg at
Old Trafford next week.
Ferguson said:
"It was a marvellous result for us. We showed discipline and composure on the
ball.
"Ronaldo's goal changed the game for us. It was a fantastic header.
"His spring and courage to go in front of the defender surprised the Roma player.
"It was a centre forward's header - it reminded me of myself."
When asked about Ji-Sung Park's contribution to the second goal Fergie said:
"I'm not sure how he managed to get the ball back into the area. It did not seem
possible.
"But Wayne appeared to unsettle the goalkeeper and managed to touch it in."
There was no repeat of the violence that has marred clashes between the clubs
in recent games, and Ferguson said:
"That is a bonus and what we wanted to happen tonight.
"Roma and ourselves have worked hard to make sure there would be no
incidents."
