Match Review
Wayne Rooney helped United reach the top of the league charts with a scintillating performance of FOUR (Yes! You read it right) goals against Hull City today. Rooney’s four-goal haul extends his lead in the Premier League’s top scorer stakes. He now has 19 league goals, four more than the next highest scorers, Darren Bent, Jermain Defoe and Didier Drogba, all with 14.

United went back to winning ways (finally) with a 3-0 home win over Burnley that will definitely go some way towards numbing some of the pain that has been inflicted over United supporters over the past few weeks. However, if you think that this 3-0 win was one of those old fashioned cakewalks you need to think again. On any other day and against any other opposition we might have ended up conceding two before even registering our first goal.

So when Matkin Atkinson the match referee gave a clean tackle marked as foul and awarded Chelsea a free kick that went on to be scored, I along with millions of Red Devil fans was shattered.

Manchester United expectedly clinched their place in the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup with a 2-0 victory over struggling Championship side Barnsley on Tuesday with goals from Welbeck and Owen ensuring a return to winning ways following a highly disappointing result against Liverpool. Continuing with the tradition of using the Carling Cup as a platform for fielding young talent, Sir Alex handed out starts to the likes of Welbeck, Macheda, the Da Silva twins and Gabriel Obertan, who was making his debut for United. Others like Joshua King, Ritchie De Laet and Zoran Tosic were booked seats on the bench. Michael Owen got a start presumably to increase his match sharpness while Jonny Evans, Wes Brown and Gary Neville were roped in to lend an air of experience into the line-up. [Keep Reading…]
