Blank look to toothless United

MANCHESTER UNITED will have no safety net at Old Trafford in three weeks’ time after they ground out a goalless draw in their Champions League last-16 first leg meeting with Marseille at the Stade Velodrome.

United have failed to clinch victory from similar positions before.

However, they will still be favourites to progress against a limited Marseille outfit, even if life would have been so much better had a Darren Fletcher snap-shot been able to break the deadlock in a drab contest.
