Ronaldo’s arrival fails to spark United’s misfiring forwards

Sparta Prague 0 Man Utd 0

Not even the late introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo could spark United into life as the Portuguese teenager failed to take two decent chances within minutes of his arrival.

The result edges United closer to a place in the last 16 but the manner of their performance is hardly likely to worry Arsenal, whom they face in a do-or-die league clash at Old Trafford on Sunday.
