Because Celtic scored 2 away goals at Man Utd and they never scored any at Celtic Park. When two teams are tied on the same points it comes down to how they performed against each other - so that's why Celtic have already qualified and Man Utd still need to get at least a draw against Benfica.

the head to head results is used as the first tie-breaker at the UEFA Champions' League. as both Manchester United & Glasgow Celtic are tied with 3 goals each after both meetings, Glasgow Celtic has the better head to head record coz they scored 2 of the goals at Old Trafford, Manchester on matchday 1.
any goals scored at away ground is considered double, so Glasgow Celtic is above Manchester United & they have secured a place in the knock-out stage regardless of what happened when Manchester United host SL Benfica on matchday 6 in December 2006.

Celtic scored two goals at Old Trafford, while Man U scored none at Parkhead. If it was a knockout draw Celtic would have won.
I guess UEFA counts head-to-head records, in that they take each tie like a knockout tie to see who wins overall.

New rule this year, goal difference doesn't matter as much as the results between two teams on the same points, as Celtic scored twice in their defeat they go top. Another genius rule change by UEFA!

UEFA Champions League group stage tables use the head-to-head comparison to separate teams on the same number of points.

goal difference doesnt come into it - if teams are on level points, results between the teams are what separates them
