Hello,
I am very busy working on getting my Old Trafford trip pictures online along with two new pages of the website so this will be a short one.
United travelled to Ibrox to face Rangers and Wayne Rooney returned to the starting line-up. It was a tough day for a lot of players in my opinion. Evans struggled at the back even though Rangers did not go forward very much during the game. It seemed like every "chance" the Glasgow team got was on Evans' side. Giggs looked a bit rusty but we all know we will pull it together after a spell on the bench. In the last 3-4 games, Berba has looked like he did last year and this game was no different although I might give him a pass as serve to him was not great. The highlight of this game was the return of Rooney who played well and helped stretch out the Rangers defence, something I feel United goes not do well without him. Rooney took the penalty well and there was mixed feelings from the club, specifically from one Patrick Mooney.
I am also happy to report that Fabio also had a solid European game which is a good sign for the future.
Rangers had their chance when they were up 1-0 at home to Valencia and blew it in the final minutes. If they had won that game, a loss here would not have knocked them out.
United still has work to do as a loss in the final game against Valencia at Old Trafford would mean 2nd place and tougher opposition. All United need is a draw but, knowing United, they will go after a win.
That is why I love this team.
Derek
