United just played in the UEFA Super Cup and lost 2-1 to Zenit St Petersburg. The Super Cup is played between the winner of the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.
United once again didnt play that well. The second was abit better. At the moment United are showing that we are abit of the one player team and without Ronaldo just done really have the spark.
Tevez was excellent though and typically fought for everything. Evra did well and also Vidic. Once again Nani was rubbish – bags of talent and potential but his end product is just not there. Poor shooting, poor crossing, poor final ball. Scholes got an “equaliser” near the end but he used his hand to pretty much just push the ball in like a hand ball player – good finish in a way!!! It was a stupid thing to do as it could lead to missing some Champions League games.
United are just missing something at the moment. I know its early days. United now dont play for over 2 weeks because of the International games. Also because United played tonight we dont play in the Premier League this weekend so will be 1 game behind most teams for a good few weeks. I suppose its not all bad as its an extra week to get Ronaldo back. Lets hope we get Berbatov (or another top class striker at the very least). He will add something to United and also we have now sold Saha now to Everton. (Assuming his medical goes OK which you never know with Saha!!).
