It was a decent performance - I think our all round game needs just a little more work...The score also reflected how woeful Wigan were. Having said that, just the fact that we put goals in the net is a huuuugge boost, expecially with berba and owen getting off the mark. I'm not sure if a similar performance against a class team would have got us a win, let alone a 5-0 win. First half the tempo was slow, the movement wasn't great, and the finishing worrying. I think we need a few more games to get into stride - there are promising signs though, just as there are some niggling worries. Satisfying night all in all...

Vidic the rock is back!! Hats Off Foster and Fletcher !!! Our true midfield enforcer!
Great display in 2nd half. Should play the same team against Arsenil.
Nani is very inconsistent and loses possession too often giving the other team a chance to counterattack. Once he improves on this aspect of his game he will the best winger in england.
Gibson should also be playing more often now.He would have scored in the place of Scholes. Very satisfied with this away scoreline. Bring on Arsenal !!

First half was poor but after Rooneys first we went from strength to strength.
Vidic gave our back four confidence, Fletcher did a great job enforcing the midfield, Berbatov makes the difference up front. Darren Gibson needs to be called up to the first XI... didya see that bullet he let fly, wicked.

Over here Mainz just beat Munich 2:1 which is a brilliant result!

For anyone who isn't convinced by Antonio Valencia, you must take into account that he is being labelled as Ronaldo's replacement. That is a lot of pressure on a player who clearly doesn't like the attention and spotlight that comes with being a United player.

I've seen enough of him in his matches so far to say that he's gonna be quality. He's already shown the ability. He's stupendously fast, whips in a wicked cross and has a great shot.
