Ferguson: Winning at AC Milan was landmark for Man Utd

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits their win at AC Milan in the first-leg of their Champions League clash was a "landmark".

Ferguson, who also revealed today that defender Wes Brown would be out of action for between four and six weeks with a broken bone in his foot, remains wary of Milan.

However, he regards the victory at the San Siro - United's first in five attempts against the Rossoneri in Italy - as particularly significant.

"Without doubt it was a landmark victory for us," he said.

"Historically you are playing one of the best teams of all time in Europe.

"You couldn't come away without thinking the psychological boost of going there and winning was a really important."
