Revived Villarreal fire Champions League warning to United

VILLARREAL will be in high spirits ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United after a 1-0 home victory over Deportivo La Coruna yesterday.

It was a first win of the season for Villarreal, who will hope to pile more misery on United after their 2-1 league loss at Liverpool. Spanish international Santiago Cazorla scored the decisive goal on 27 minutes.

A major boost for Villarreal was the return of Robert Pires after three weeks out through injury but striker United old boy Giuseppe Rossi is struggling with an ankle injury.
