Nemanja Vidic expects Manchester United's away leg at Bayern Munich to unfold in much the same way as this evening's first leg at Old Trafford.
The contest ended as a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, Manchester United finding themselves up against it from the off, Bayern Munich at one stage enjoying over 70 per cent possession.

But the Red Devils held on, going in level at 0-0 at half-time, before shocking the Germans by taking the lead from a Vidic header in the 58th minute.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, who was later to see red for a late challenge on Wayne Rooney, equalised for the visitors just eight minutes later, and 1-1 was how it ended.

And Vidic feels the second leg of the tie will follow much the same pattern, with Bayern Munich enjoying the lion's share of the ball.
"It will be the same game, they are going to have lots of possession at their ground", the Serbian defender explained to ITV.
"But I think with the pace we have up front we can go and hurt them", he added.
Bayern Munich will be without Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez for the second leg, both missing out through suspension.
