Manchester United returned from their beating in Bilbao and dismantled the Wolves by beating them down 5 – 0. Five goals in little over an hour ensured that the reds would manage their lead at the top of the table. With only 10 men the wolves were 3-0 down at half-time which made it very difficult for them to get a grip. In the second half, they continued their poor discipline at corners and if that were not enough they …

Blame it on the Premier League or lack of focus of the players, there is no justification whatsoever for such a dismal performance from England’s top team. Man U was outclassed over the two legs …

“Three points is all that matters” said the commentator at the final whistle. That statement summed up Manchester United’s performance at the end of the game. After last week’s hammering at the hands of “Noisy Neighbours” Manchester City, everyone was expecting United to prove a point; they were expecting a backlash which they are used to seeing from Manchester United of the past. However we were in for a surprise as United were playing a match saving game rather than …
