United cruise past Schalke, 2-0Manchester United achieved an ambition in Gelsenkirchen that went far beyond the defeat of a Schalke side who have already outdone themselves by getting this far. With victory in the tie already certain, Sir Alex Ferguson's side will enter a third Champions League final in four years. It is that sort of consistent impact the manager has craved.
The knowhow in the ranks has deepened and United were calm and business-like. The raucousness of the ground was still impressive in periods but these supporters generated it out of stubbornness rather than hope. Raúl González did cause a moment of concern as he moved towards the ball at the near post early in the second half but the attentions of Rio Ferdinand eliminated the danger.
