Stoke City 1 – 2 Man Utd

Tuncay                Hernandez (2)

After the Wayne Rooney saga unfolded this week, it seems that United have steadied the ship somewhat. And in no small part to the back of Javier Hernandez’s head!

Rooney had been sent to Dubai after he signed his new 5 year contract, which allowed United to concentrate on what was a must win game. Ferguson let the team play, with the Reds controlling the game throughout.

A sublime backheader from The Little Pea put United ahead, and the game looked over. However, Tuncay invigorated the home team as he came off the bench and it was his stunner that levelled the game. Surely United wouldn’t throw another lead away this season?

No. Chicarito proved his worth again with a poachers goal with ten to play. Maybe Ferguson still knows how to spot a bargain after all. The Mexican’s double means that Man Utd picked up their first away win of the season. Hopefully this will prove a turning point in our season – and we’re still in second place – so not too bad a start!
