United cruise home in Rome

Manchester United planted one foot firmly in the Champions League quarter-finals after a resounding 2-0 win in Rome. A superb first half header from Ronaldo and 66th minute tap-in from Wayne Rooney gave them a commanding lead in the tie. If they progress as expected, then a mouthwatering semi-final clash with Barcelona should await after the Catalans beat Schalke 1-0 in Germany thanks to Bojan Krkic.
