(Andrew Milligan/PA via AP)MANCHESTER: - Manchester United almost made sure of a place in the knockout stage of the Champions League by beating Benfica 2-0 at Old Trafford on Tuesday to make it a perfect four wins in Group A. Svilar, the youngest keeper in Champions League history, was unfortunate as a Nemanja Matic shot struck the post and bounced into the goal off his back. The result leaves United top of Group A on 12 points while CSKA Moscow and Basel each have six points with Benfica still without a point. Stephan El Shaarawy scored twice as AS Roma mauled Chelsea 3-0 to claim top spot in Champions League Group C on Tuesday at the expense of the English champions. PSG have 12 points from four games and lead Bayern Munich, who beat Celtic 2-1 away, by three points.
