match vs stoke

once again united battered opposition stoke in what was an extremely one sided affair... the teams had barely left the tunnel (berbatov was probably still in it) when ronaldo struck a thunder bolt free kick which found the net, ronaldo beginning to find the killer form that had deserted him earlier in the season... 

the opposition never really got going and wave after wave of united attacks came flooding in, it was really only a matter of time before they began to take advantage of their chances. a wonderful carrick goal on the stroke of half time all but ended the match as a contest and when berbatov fired home in the second half it became a showcase for uniteds academy.

 the introduction of the always lively danny wellbeck put an end to the claim that united has abandoned its academy in recent times. wellbeck showed all the signs of a good striker, and was fearless, even on his debut as he ran onto the ball on the edge of the box before finishing with a magnificent strike!!... 

manucho, the angolan striker also looked impressive. however the headlines went to ronaldo again, who finished as he started with another superb free kick before full time. for the 1st time this year i can say that utd capitilised on most of their chances in a game they dominated... hopefully a sign of things to come!!
