Bolton Wanderers    0-4    Man Utd
Samuel(og) 38
Berbatov 69, 78
Gibson 82

Without the talismanic Wayne Rooney, Man Utd ensure their lead at the top of the Barclays Premiership was kept at 1 point following Chelsea’s 7-1 demolition of Villa on Saturday.

A superb performance from Nani was perhaps the highlight of United’s day. It was Giggg’s who struck first though, with his dangerous cross turned in for an own goal by JLloyd Samuel.

Two goals from the effective Berbatov, who seemed rejuvenated leading the line alone, before Nani, picking up his second assist of the game, fed the late substitue Darron Gibson to round things off.

News today is that Rooney and Ferdinand will both make a return for the first leg of the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich tomorrow.
