Manchester United 3-0 Parma

Juan Sebastian Veron produced a moment of magic to light up a dismal Amsterdam Arena - and at least temporarily relieve Sir Alex Ferguson's Champions League concerns.With Diego Forlan continuing to look poor striking back-up for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ferguson still on the hunt for another front man, Veron produced a finish few of even his illustrious team-mates are capable of matching.With Ryan Giggs opening United's account in the first half and Solskjaer, back in action after a neck injury, bagging a third five minutes after Veron's stunning effort, the deposed Premier League champions cruised to an easy victory.
