The Portugal winger was left dazzled before the 1-1 draw against Lyon in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "We reported the matter to UEFA before the game. We noticed it in the warm-up and they (UEFA) are aware of it."

Karim Benzema scored a superb opening goal for the hosts in the 54th minute, but United fought back and Carlos Tevez came off the bench to equalise three minutes from time after Nani's cross caused confusion in the Lyon defence.

United would now appear to be in the driving seat for a place in quarter-finals with the teams due to meet in the second leg at Old Trafford in a fortnight.

Striker Wayne Rooney said: "It is always crucial to get an away goal and 1-1 is a lot better than 1-0. It was a crucial goal to take back to Old Trafford.

"I felt we controlled the game for most of it. They had a few chances and stuck the ball in.

"Lyon are a good team and we know we have to concentrate 100%."

Ferguson was pleased with the way his team bounced back, saying "It was a setback to go behind but it was a fantastic goal and it made life difficult for us. However, with our attacking options we had on the bench and being 1-0 down, we were always going to make changes."
