Manchester United completed a record equalling 19th Champions League game unbeaten run to secure top spot in Group E. Carlos Tevez's fifth goal in a week after just three minutes seemed to set the Red Devils up for a comfortable win - and what would have been only the holders third in Europe so far. But an unexpected first-half response from the visitors left United trailing at the interval.

Although Wayne Rooney leveled soon after the second half begun; the hosts could not find a winner. There were 9 changes in the side that played against Sunderland last week. The best change being the pairing of Tevez alongside Rooney. After scoring 4 goals against Blackburn, Tevez is a man on a mission. He has been producing some stellar performances to put pressure on the United boss to give him chance in the starting eleven.

Man Utd will now travel to Japan for playing the Club World Cup and during this time the last-16 draw would be made that could pair them with, among others, Real Madrid and Inter Milan. So it would be great to watch who is paired against the holders. I am sure UEFA would make sure they give United a tough draw as they dont want to see United retaining the trophy. But who cares! Pitch any team against us and we would be victorious.
