Four Premiership titles in a row wasn’t to be as Man Utd beat Stoke quite comprehensively at 4-0 but weren’t aided by Wigan who needed to beat Chelsea.
Goals in the first half from Darren Fletcher and an ever-reliable Ryan Giggs plus a Higginbottam own goal and Park header in the second half ensured that the Red Devils did their bit to keep the title chase alive but Wigans’ capitulation against Chelsea meant it was not to be.
After Liverpool predictably rolled over and capitulated against Chelsea the title race will go down to the final day of the season as Nani’s 1st half winner helped them to a 1-0 victory against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
United went into the match knowing that nothing but a victory would do to keep their faint title hopes alive. The starting line-up certainly signalled their intent with Wayne Rooney back in the squad to partner Dimitar Berbatov. The experience of Scholes and Giggs started in midfield.
