Manchester United played their best game of the season and completely dismantled Bundesliga side in their own backyard to seal qualification to KO stages.
The Red Devils registered their best ever away result in the competition as Sami Hyypia’s men had no answer whatsoever to the brilliant play of Manchester United.
David Moyes tried different combination with his side. In the absence of Robin van Persie, Rooney was handed the center forward role and Shinji Kagawa got the chance to play in his favored CAM position behind the striker.
The highlight of the game was veteran Giggs, nearing his 40th birthday, the legendary figure was influential all night in the midfield.
Controlled the midfield battle and barely missed a pass. A brilliant performance from the Welsh star who showed he is still capable of playing against the best in the toughest competition.
Nani, Valencia, Smalling and Evans were on the score-sheet along-with an own goal as United humiliated Leverkusen 5-0 on the night. Here are Man United player ratings vs Bayer Leverkusen.

We had a great time last night; but I still insist that moyes should freez ferdinand; he has lost it and cants survive real pressure: we were rather favoured last night because Jones was covering up for ferdinand. Mr moyes, pls play rafael @ Right-back & play Smalling @ center-back. Ferdinand is no longer who he was. Period
Also, y does moyes give everyone a chance apart from Zaha…this is becomingway too Suspecious for comfort. FrEE ZAHA or explain yourself
May be the story was true hehehe
