Miller magic gives United vital lead

Dinamo Bucharest 1 Manchester United 2

Ryan Giggs’ coolly-taken breakaway goal and a stunning impact on his debut by substitute Liam Miller helped Alex Ferguson’s side to a valuable victory, but not before they had survived a scare by Dinamo Bucharest.

A Quinton Fortune own-goal had handed the initiative to the Romanian double winners and there were unsettling moments before and after Giggs struck until Miller forced another own-goal, this time from Angelo Alistar, to make the game safe.
