Manchester United vs Bayern Report

Manchester United 1-1 Bayern Munich: Schweinsteiger hands Bayern the advantage

The midfielder bagged a second-half away goal to hand the initiative to the German side, despite Nemanja Vidic's brilliant header 

 

 Bastian Schweinsteiger scored a vital away goal as Bayern Munich drew 1-1 with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, and was later sent off.

Nemanja Vidic opened the scoring with a brilliant second-half header but United's shock lead lasted just eight minutes, with Schweinsteiger's crisp volley soon leveling proceedings.

The Germany international would not finish the game, however, as he shown a second yellow card late on after a rash challenge on Wayne Rooney.

He will, therefore, miss the second leg on April 9, along with his teammate Javi Martinez, who picked up a booking of his own for a cynical foul on Javier Hernandez.
