Man Utd 4 – 0 Hull

Posted by admin on January 23rd, 2010

Wayne Rooney was in a clinical mood today as he hit four goals as United went top of the Premier League with a 4-0 win over Hull City at Old Trafford.

Rooney took his goal scoring tally for the season to an impressive 19 – a career-best total only mid-way through the campaign. Having scored early on in the match with an early opener he then had to wait until the end to demolish the Tigers, who stay in the drop zone after the loss.

It was not all good news for United though as the returning Rio Ferdinand, could be in hot water with the FA after his elbow on Craig Fagan was missed by the referee.

Carling Cup 1st Leg: Man City 2 – 1 Man Utd

Posted by admin on January 20th, 2010

A combination of terrible refereeing from Mike Dean and striker Carlos Tevez ensured Manchester City go to Old Trafford in 8 days time with a 2-1 lead. Two-goal Carlos Tevez came back to haunt United (as returning players invariably do) following a 2-1 Carling Cup semi-final first leg victory at Eastlands.

Tevez, who quit Old Trafford in the summer, made it nine goals in his last six City starts and 16 for the season as he proved to be the main threat for City after a sluggish start.

Birmingham 1 – 1 Man Utd

Posted by admin on January 9th, 2010

Manchester United spurned yet another chance to take spot in the Premier League after they needed an own goal from Birmingham defender Scott Dann to salvage a point at St. Andrews.

The own goal was disputed by Birmingham who surrounded referee Mark Clattenburg who allowed the equaliser to stand after 63 minutes, cancelling out Cameron Jerome’s first-half opener. Clattenburg had to consult his assistant before awarding the goal.

With goals from Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick, Rafael Da Silva, Dimitar Berbatov and former Wigan star Antonio Valencia, United played like a team possessed right from the start.

Man Utd 3 – 0 Wolverhampton

Posted by admin on December 16th, 2009

United moved level on points at the top of the Premiership table after coasting to a 3-0 victory against Wolves at Old Trafford.

 

Wolves manager with one eye on the forthcoming match against Burnley opted to make 10 outfield changes to his team from the one that managed to humble Tottenham at the weekend. With a United side wounded after their unexpected loss to Aston Villa at the weekend it was always going to be an uphill battle for Wolves.

 

As has happened all too often this season United started slowly and looked sluggish at times. At the half hour stage the scores were still level with Wolves actually having a few good chances to get a goal if it wasn’t for some bad finishing by their players.

 

United finally took control of the game after the half hour mark when a Darron Gibson cross was handled in the area needlessly by Ronald Zubar. Rooney stepped up to take the penalty and powered the shot to the keepers right hand side to claim his 12th Premiership goal of the season.

 

On the stroke of half-time United were 2-0 when another Darron Gibson cross from the corner was met by Nemanja Vidic who headed it powerfully goalwards. Hahnemann got a weak hand to the shot with it squirming into the net.

 

The win was sealed by Antonia Valencia midway through the second half when a clever Dimitar Berbatov flick over the defender fell perfectly to Antonio Valencia who made no mistake with his clinical shot. As usual Valencia’s celebration was muted to say the least! One of these days we may even see him crack a smile when he scores or even raise at arm (preferably in the Champions League final!).

 

United made hard work of the result initially and Sir Alex Ferguson will demand they play more confidently and take control of matches more going forward. With Premiership matches against Fulham, Hull, Wigan, Birmingham, Burnley and Hull again United should be looking to go on a good winning streak and work on their goal difference. Three points tonight with three goals was a good start.

Man Utd 0 – 1 Aston Villa

Posted by admin on December 13th, 2009

Aston Villa ended a barren streak at Old Trafford stretching back 26 years by beating Man Utd to move into third place in the table.

 

Uniteds’ defence was bolstered by the return of Wes Brown and Nemanja Vidic while midweek hero Michael Owen returned back to the bench.

 

With Chelsea unexpectedly drawing their game earlier on against Everton this was the ideal time for United to cement a win and draw level on points with them.

 

The game began fairly quietly but was brought into life in the 20th minute with an Agbonlahor strike. The Villa striker who has scored against United in the past three seasons began the move on the right wing finding Ashley Young. The young winger then cut the ball back onto his favoured right foot before delivering a cross for Agbonlahor to duly nod home. Kuszczak was partly responsible for the goal due to his indecisiveness, first coming off his line to cut out the cross before stopping without challenging.

 

United tried to hit back straight away with Rooney at the heart of most of the attacking intent. In the second half a clearly unimpressed Ferguson changed things around when he bought on Michael Owen for Ryan Giggs, then Berbatov for Park but to no avail. Despite having a good few half chances and the addition of the two strikers bringing an extra edge to United’s attack they couldn’t secure that much needed goal.

 

It meant Villa left swaggering off the Old Trafford pitch and United rueing a great opportunity to close the lead at the top of the table.

CL – Wolfsburg 1 – 3 Man Utd

Posted by admin on December 9th, 2009

An injury-ravaged Manchester United rode their luck a bit last night but finished as Group B leaders after another Michael Owen hat-trick in Germany!

 

 Match Highlights

United began the game with Patrice Evra as the sole regular first-team defender assisted by Park at right back with Carrick and Fletcher partnering in central defence.

 

As things stood before the match Wolfsburg needed a win whilst United needed a point to seal the top spot in the group.

 

Wolfsburg were buoyed by an unfamiliar United defence with three players playing out of position and duly cranked up the pressure from kick-off. They should have taken the lead in the 17th minute when Barzagli headed over the bar from five yards out despite being unmarked. Within minutes the hosts spurned another excellent chance when again, an unmarked Wolfsburg player, this time Misimovic, struck a weak header clear of the bar.
