Not too long ago I was bemoaning the failing, flailing underperformers at Man Utd (Scholsey, Berbatov, Carrick...). But all was not lost as today's 5-0 thrashing of Wigan proved in spades.
United's play was marked by a fluidity and crispness that has been lacking from many of their recent performances. The architects of this improvement were none other two young Red Devils, 16 million pound man Antonio Valencia (himself a former Wigan player) and Rafael da Silva.
Valencia's pace and vision proved too much on the night as he set up three goals and scored the fifth himself for good measure. While Rafael provided Rooney with a wonderful service (leading to his 14th league goal) and scored the third to boot. Even Berba got his scoring on...for the first time since Halloween, but still! Old Trafford faithful rejoice!
P [dot] S Who'da thunk it? Ronaldo misses Man Utd, though you shouldn't expect a reunion anytime soon. And the way Valencia's playing perhaps Old Trafford soon won't be missing him as much. He is SIR Alex Ferguson for a reason, you know....
