Berbatov missing for key Schalke clash

Manchester United are without top scorer Dimitar Berbatov for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tonight.

He will miss the game in Germany against Schalke because of a groin strain.

United are the big favourites to go through, but manager Alex Ferguson won't yet look forward to a game with either Barcelona or Real Madrid.

"I don't like jumping ahead. I think we should deal with Schalke first…You don't care who you meet in the final. It doesn’t matter," he said.
