Manchester United survived the shock of conceding two early goals to move a step closer to the Champions League knockout phase with victory over SC Braga.

Manchester United vs Braga : Kings of the comeback at home turf

Manchester United’s victory vs Braga sees them join Arsenal as the second team in Champions League history to win twice after trailing by two goals.

United’s other comeback from 2-0 down came in the second leg of their 3-2 1999 semi-final win over Juventus.

Arsenal beat Standard Liege 3-2 in September 2009 and Shakhtar Donetsk 3-2 in September 2000.

And while he will be delighted by the verve and finishing shown by 24-year-old Hernandez as he demonstrated his determination not to be overshadowed by Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Danny Welbeck, Ferguson will once again have concerns about how easily United are conceding goals.

For all those faults, however, Manchester United’s character can never be doubted and they deserve great credit for the manner in which they recovered from such a dreadful start.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has already noted with indignation how often his side have fallen behind this season – and here was no exception as the opposition scored first for the eighth time in 12 games.

The Manchester United vs Braga game was only 90 seconds old when former Newcastle midfielder Hugo Viana crossed from the left for Braga striker Alan to head low past home keeper David de Gea in front of the Stretford End.

Manchester United were sleepwalking their way through the early stages and paid for it again as the visitors from Portugal doubled their lead only after 20 minutes. Michael Carrick, never a comfortable fit in central defence, was embarrassed as Eder showed great technique to cross for Alan to apply another clinical finish inside United goalie De Gea’s near post.

Mark this one dear readers this trio of Braga attack, Eder, Alan and Viana are indeed formidable. But so are Hernandez, Kagawa and youngster Cleverley.

Manchester United vs Braga : Sir Alex Ferguson’s brave selection of attacking line paid off in the end

Alex Ferguson looked nonplussed but he was at least cheered by a swift response as Javier Hernandez pulled United a goal back with a header at the far post from Shinji Kagawa’s cross.

Manchester United raised hopes with that goal after the 1st half of Manchester United vs Braga ended 2-1 .

The same pair were in action again as United were unfortunate to have a goal ruled out for offside. The flag went up as the Japanese midfield player crossed for Hernandez to score but replays confirmed the goal should have stood.

Kagawa was not seen after half-time as Ferguson gave the hosts extra width and pace with the introduction of Nani. It provided the impetus required as they drew level just after the hour.

Van Persie’s corner created confusion in the Braga box and, after one unsuccessful attempt to make contact, Evans stabbed the ball over the line beyond Beto.

As Manchester United applied concerted pressure, Braga keeper Beto then did well to save from Nani after he was released on the edge of the area by Hernandez’s fine pass.

Hernandez had been a constant threat and he was rewarded with his second goal after 75 minutes as United completed the turnaround.

The Mexican showed his trademark clever movement in the area but credit must also be given to a magnificent cross from Tom Cleverley that allowed him to rise and head it in past the exposed Beto.

Manchester United vs Braga Champions League match was Manchester United’s season in microcosm. The night started with the shambolic defending that has scarred their Premier League campaign, and ended with another rescue act performed by the rich attacking resources Alex Ferguson has assembled and was not shy to send to the pitch.
