| Antonio Valencia struck a late winner as Manchester United maintained
their 100% record in Champions League Group B at the expense of
CSKA Moscow.
Chances had been at a premium on the artificial surface of the
Luzhniki Stadium - scene of United's final victory in 2008 - but
United finished strongly.
Valencia, who celebrated his first United goal last weekend, doubled
his tally for the club five minutes from time, moments after rattling
the crossbar with a fierce drive.
Nani had earlier gone close with a firm header from a Gary Neville
cross while a bouncing 35-yard effort from Paul Scholes in the first
half forced Igor Akinfeev to save.
United, who are now well on course for a place in the knockout
stages, can now look forward to Sunday's Premier League trip to
troubled rivals Liverpool in high spirits.
