    what happened Rooney? :confused:
    Ferguson also faces an anxious wait to see the extent of an ankle injury which forced Wayne Rooney out of the game after an hour.

    "We are hoping it isn't ligament trouble," said the United boss.

    "He just felt his ankle. I would imagine he would be doubtful for the Blackburn game on Saturday."

    I think it happened when he miss hit a pass at the edge of the box and the ball went straight up in the air, whether he kicked the ground or just twisted it stangely I dont know.

    Looks like an ankle injury. Not sure when it happened on the night, but he went to collect a ball and it felt weak so they took him off.

    I can no longer listen to Ray Houghton, my head was officially done-in last night.

    Ah yes mister all you have to do is get the ball in the box and you will win every game. I swear the amount of times he says it during the course of every game he commentates on is crazy.

    No matter who is playing Utd, Liverpool or even Arsenal, its still all about getting out wide and putting the ball in the box.

    Crazy statements on RTE last night about us not having a Roy Keane/John Terry character. Well we didn't have one for the last two seasons and we have done alright.

    Great 3 points for Utd, superb 2nd by Berba. Wasn't overly impressed by them and it wasn't a great game for a neutral but job done.
    Ray Houghton was wrecking my head. Totally and utterly. I can't stand him and never have been able to. Hateful.

    Dimitar Berbatov finally opens his scoring account

    Rafael impressed
    Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is set to be out for up to eight weeks with a knee injury.
    Scholes suffered the problem during the early stages of United's UEFA Champions League victory away to AaB Aalborg.
    The former England international damaged medial ligaments in Denmark and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
    United manager Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed that the 33-year-old will be out of his plans for between six and eight weeks.
    It means Scholes will miss several key games for the Red Devils, including the Champions League double-header against Celtic.
    "He has suffered ligament damage," said Ferguson.
    "At this moment in time it's difficult to say exactly how serious (it is), but it looks like the medial ligament, in which case it will be six to eight weeks which is a bit of a blow."
    Ferguson also faces an anxious wait to see the extent of an ankle injury which forced Wayne Rooney out of the game after an hour.
    "We are hoping it isn't ligament trouble," said the United boss.
    "He just felt his ankle. I would imagine he would be doubtful for the Blackburn game on Saturday."

    Finally???

    Yes because not scoring after three games two of which were away from home against our two main rivals, and playing in a team yet to hit any where near top was becoming a real problem.

    He looks good going forward, but a premiership winger would eat him alive going the other way. He is good in the tackle, but his positioning and speed at getting back into positioning are currently quite poor. Not to be unexpected with an 18 year old defender playing just his 4th or so competitive senior game, but i think some of the hype needs to be reigned in. Fabio is the same, looks great going forward but suspect the opposite direction.

    Anyone else seem to think that Nani has a bet on with ronnie or anderson as to who will score most goals this season. He must have shot everytime he got the ball within 20 yards of their goal. Annoying when alot of the time the pass was the better option.

    He was doing it v bolton on saturday also.

    I'd love to know what the strategy is when it comes to deciding who should take a free kick... Is it first come first serve? :confused: There doesn't seem to be any coherent plan! Nani was meant to take a free against Arsenal last season, and Hargreaves just took it without telling anyone (he scored ;)). Actually I recall a free from last night just on the left of their box. Ronaldo stood there as if he was deciding what corner he would go for, when Giggs took a quick one and passed it to Ron. What's the deal like? Surely this should all be worked out prior to the match, and/or the captain should decide. I'm sure Ferguson gives most to Ronaldo in part to massage his ego and keep him happy, in part because he scores the odd cracker, and in part because he needs to improve.
