James Forde

fletcher has been immense

Le King

Giggs has hit a couple of fantastic passes but he really has given the ball away way too much tonight.

Manc-Red

Lets get this 3rd & wrap this up

Paully D

Danny Collins is easier to penetrate than Paris Hilton.

A very noticeable improvement from him tonight.

Mitch Connor

great to see with the Liverpool game at the weekend too.

TheTownie

Evra takes no sh!t !! :pac:

IvySlayer

Ohhh Evra.

Raskolnikov

Poor reaction from Stoke here.

Mars Bar

These last 5 minutes make me so nervous to the point I feel physically sick.

I thought Begovic was being nice there. He just wanted the ball...

Why? Stoke have been rubbish.

Manc-Red

Nasty impact by Rafael against the advertisement electronic thingys

ref is having a laugh here..... how many times to players run off the pitch without getting permission to come back on. I could understand if the physio had checked him, but he did not.

That hasn't stopped us leaking ridiculous goals though, has it?

Manc-Red

Well played Carrick & unlucky Owen in that last attack

TheRedDevil10

FULL TIME!!! YESSSS!!!

3 points! Bobs your uncle! Wheres that cup of tea!...

Harpy

Nice one.. 3 points but they really made it hard work for themselves..

Raskolnikov

Surprisingly easy for United tonight, got the three points though.

Toss up between Nani/Fletcher for MOTM.

BERBA

any chance ol fergie will play gibson at the lane on sunday week?

Mr.Crinklewood

Thought Rafael had a decent match, Carrick did well when he came on.

Poor performance yet again, but a win's a win.

Top of the league, beautiful goals from Hernandez & especially Nani keeps us unbeaten & 3 pts clear now of a City side needing something against Arsenal tomorrow.

Bring on Liverpool in the Cup on Sunday.

Over & Out

Dave!

MOTM Geaggs for me, or maybe Fletcher or Nani, or Vidic

Good performances from most people I thought

Berbatov wasn't very threatening though

blueshed

great result--great 3 pts.

watched it on about 4 different streams.

was Gibson that bad=my streams cut out a few times so must have missed some of his bad play then.

Jax Teller

Delighted with that stream didn't go off once

Mars Bar

My MOTM:

Nani (I think that's quite obvious as to why)
Rafael (He was a rock and contributed to so much of our attack)
Hernandez (Scored and assisted too. He's a gem)

Manc-Red

Hope not.

Mister men

Result at OT.

BBC Sport: 2145: Man Utd continue to boss possession at Old Trafford and one could be forgiven for thinking Stoke are quite happy with a 2-1 defeat here.

Greatest league in the world

poor enough performance again but another 3pts.Stoke were fairly poor.Nani,Rafa and Chico did well imo.also big improvement by Fletcher tonight.Gibson missed another opportunity to impress,he is running out of chances at this rate.

smokedeels

Nani and Rafael combined really well on the right.

Those two, along with Fletcher get my MOTM vote.

Overall it was a decent performance, should have created more chances and Stokes goal was due to some sloppy defending.

JerryHandbag

Gave up on streams for last half hour, lookin forward to seein Nanis goal now on Sky. Good 3 pts, onward and upward.
