Today United had what looked at least on paper to be a difficult game when facing Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford, but the Reds raced into a deserved three nil lead in the first half, courtesy of goals by Park and Rooney, who scored in between the South Koreans brace. However once again the man of the first half was Ronaldo, who made all three goals.
Quite simply the visitors back four could not handle the pace of United's attacks, at times we looked a division above Bolton. It came as no surprise then that Rooney made it four nil in the second period, this time the creator was second half substitute Alan Smith who lobbed a lovely ball over the top for Rooney to run onto, the England striker finished with style, slicing across the ball with the outside of his right boot so the ball swerved away from the keepers despairing left hand and into the corner of the net, it was a picturebook finish.
For some bizarre reason the visitors were awarded what looked to be the softest penalty of the season so far, Bolton scored to make the final score United 4-1 Bolton.
Bring on 'Boro for that FA cup replay on Monday.
Bolton looked awful.The midfield was not functioning at all and yet if there was any depaprtment they were to overhaul United, it was in the midfield
ReplyDeleteThe penalty was a joke. I think the ref just felt sorry for them. And he nearly saved it.
