Champions League: AaB Aalborg 0-3 Manchester United

Dimitar Berbatov scored his first goals since moving to Man United tonight as the Reds breezed to a comfortable 3-0 victory over AaB Aalborg in Group E of the Champions League.

The win puts Sir Alex Ferguson's side top of the group with four points, ahead of Villarreal on goal difference after the Spanish side beat Celtic 1-0.
Wayne Rooney opened the scoring for the visitors in the 22nd minute after Ryan Giggs threaded a pass through the Danish champions' defence to launch the England striker clear in the penalty area.

Berbatov blasted home his first goal as a United player in the 55th minute after a poor touch by Thomas Augustinussen gifted him the ball on the edge of the box.

The Bulgarian, who joined United from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this season for 30.75 million pounds ($55.69 million), doubled his tally in the 79th minute with a beautiful sideways scissors kick after a cross from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Berbatov came close to a hat-trick, but he volleyed wide in the sixth minute when the ball found him alone in the box after Ronaldo blocked a clearance by Aalborg keeper Karim Zaza.

United controlled the match, with right back Rafael making frequent dangerous raids into Aalborg territory to set up chance after chance for the holders.

Zaza prevented a more embarrassing defeat for Aalborg with several good saves. In the 33rd minute, he managed to punch away a powerful shot from Ronaldo even after it had been deflected by a defender.

Ronaldo had another golden chance to score in the 85th minute, but he shot wide when he found himself alone with Zaza after a quick counter-attack.

Aalborg, who held Celtic to a goalless draw in Glasgow in their first match, tried to counter with speedy attacks on the flanks and long range shots.

They suffered from poor finishing and managed only one shot on target to United's nine.
