Two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo helped a dominant Manchester United to a comfortable victory at Dynamo Kiev.

Kiev's defence was poor. Actually to be blunt, they were awful for much of the match. They looked disjointed against a United side whose attacking wave of Carlos Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo and Giggs were a cut above sublime.

Edwin Van Der Sar is looking forward to the Champions League match away in Kiev.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson played questions over Louis Saha's fitness with a straight bat yesterday.

Last season Ferguson spoke publicly of the difficulties of convincing Saha he was fit to play. But the United manager has abandoned that tactic. Last night - crammed inside an interview area the size of a shoebox at the Olympiyskiy Stadium - Ferguson rather ducked the issue.

Nemanja Vidic will start Manchester United's UEFA Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday.

The Serbia international defender had been a doubt to feature after only just returning to training following a facial injury he sustained against Wigan earlier this month.

Sir Alex Ferguson is pondering whether to stick with the burgeoning strike partnership of Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez or go with a three-man central midfield in Kyiv on Tuesday night.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes the Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez partnership is showing signs of developing into something special.

The pair are now playing regularly alongside each other after an injury to Rooney delayed Ferguson naming the two up front.

LOUIS Saha's injury nightmare continues with the striker ruled out of Manchester United's Champions League trip to Dynamo Kiev - while Nemanja Vidic remains a doubt.

The injury-plagued French international was hoping to make the trip to the Ukraine despite missing the 4-1 win at Aston Villa with a long-term knee problem.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso admits he wants to join his former teammates at Manchester United.

Veloso - a target for United, Arsenal and Real Madrid - wants to play alongside countrymen Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani.

Veloso, rated at £20million, said: "I would like a new adventure in Europe.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he won't need to buy in January because many of his injured senior players will be available by then.

Ferguson said: "We won't be strengthening in January, I can absolutely assure everyone of that.

"We brought some good players into the club during the summer and we have also added youngsters like Gerard Pique and Danny Simpson to our squad.

WAYNE Rooney admits he doesn't expect to be given penalty duties again after his miss against Aston Villa.

Rooney saw a second half spot kick saved by Stuart Taylor in Manchester United's 4-1 win - when a goal would have seen him complete a hat trick.

But the England international was only handed the opportunity because regular penalty taker Cristiano Ronaldo was on the bench.
