A double strike from the English duo of Wes Brown & Wayne Rooney ensured a 2-0 win for Man Utd against Blackburn yesterday.
The first 10 minutes was a typical Blackburn-United game, it was hammer and tongs, tackles flying in and it wasn't settled. But once United had the ball, they settled well and started threatening Rovers goalie Brown. Finally United broke the deadlock via Wes Brown who climbed high and headed the ball into the net. Blackburn boss Paul Ince was not happy with the goal as he thought it was a foul from Vidic on his goalie. Hence he has launched a verbal assault on referee Steve Bennett for not spotting the foul and allowing the goal to stand.
The second half was entertaining as United marched ahead with confidence and went on missing a lot of good chances, before Ronaldo set up Rooney for the second. With England head Fabio Capello in the stands, he must have been impressed with the English duo's performance; as he announces his squad for the international matches later today. But i feel United could have hammered more goals and won by a bigger margin. Currently with this win ManU sit at the sixth position in the table, 3 points behind leaders Chelsea: who play Aston Villa today.
Sir Alex Ferguson will be happy to offer Paul Ince some managerial advice that he has amassed in the last 35 years. United travel to Ewood Park to lock horns with Blackburn Rovers, with Rovers new man Ince being a prodigy of Sir Alex at his time at Old Trafford. Having got their league campaign back on track last weekend by overcoming Bolton, the Red Devils need to maintain their winning momentum with a list of injured players causing United manager some worries.
I think he will definitely change the central midfield as Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves injured. This gives a chance to Anderson, Darren Fletcher, John O'Shea and Ryan Giggs to jump in and sustaing the Blackburn pressure. Wayne Rooney, who picked up an ankle injury after opening the scoring against Aalborg in the midweek has been rated as 'very doubtful' by Ferguson.
