United secured the point they needed to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League in a stalemate against Villarreal. Nobody could muster a goal when the sides met at Old Trafford back in September, and it was the same story in the El Madrigal Stadium.
Cristiano Ronaldo came closest to scoring when his effort was tipped onto the crossbar while Villarreal, who also progress, had Joan Capdevila sent off for a challenge on Ronaldo. Ronaldo was at the centre of most of the action for United, and he certainly showed no ill-effects from the ankle problem he suffered at Aston Villa.
For the fourth successive match these teams played out a goalless draw, although United looked the more assured of the two sides.
