United claimed a priceless first Premiership away victory of the season against Stoke thanks to a Javier Hernandez double against resilient opposition.
In a fraught week in Manchester with Rooney finally saying agreeing to remain and win four consecutive away draws United knew that nothing but all three points would do.
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.
