Barnsley 0 United 2

United are another step closer to retaining the Carling Cup after seeing off a spirited challenge from Championship side Barnsley.

The Reds made the perfect start at Oakwell, taking a sixth-minute lead when Danny Welbeck buried a free header from Anderson’s right-wing corner. A masterclass in finishing from Michael Owen early in the second half sealed a place in the last eight of the competition, despite Gary Neville's red card then reducing United to ten men.

The night was also notable for Gabriel Obertan's senior debut, more than three months after signing for United. The Frenchman completed a full 90 minutes, switching from one flank to another and showing flashes of promise.

Obertan started on the right and helped to create United's early breakthrough with a jinking run on that flank. The corner he forced was whipped in by Anderson and although he had defenders on either side of him, Welbeck was unchallenged as he nodded the ball past former United goalkeeper Luke Steele.

The cool-as-you-like youngster nearly had a second reason to show us his Usain Bolt style celebration when he killed a ball into the Barnsley box with a sublime first touch and fired in a low strike that Steele did well to save. It was an impressive move, even if Owen was in a position that cried out for a pass rather than a shot from Welbeck. A third chance for Welbeck was more difficult, his header sailing high and wide from Obertan's cross.

Liverpool 2 United 0

Sir Alex’s message prior to Sunday’s clash with Liverpool was simple: form counts for nothing in these matches. Unfortunately, he was right.

At Anfield, the team in the midst of their worst run of results in 22 years beat the side who hadn’t tasted defeat in 11 games. Goals from Fernando Torres and David Ngog – the second in the sixth minute of injury time as the Reds threw men forward in search of an equaliser – gave Liverpool all three points in a game United never looked like winning. To make matters worse, Nemanja Vidic was given his marching orders after picking up a second yellow card in the 89th minute. It’s the third time in a row he’s been sent off in this fixture.

In isolation, defeat isn’t disastrous: the Reds lose top spot but it’s only October and a trip to Stamford Bridge – an opportunity, in all probability, to wrestle back the lead – beckons in a fortnight. No, it’s more a matter of pride and a blow to the momentum Sir Alex’s men had built up over the last two months.

Heading into Sunday’s clash, the boss made four changes to the side that won in Moscow in midweek. John O’Shea and Patrice Evra slotted back into the defensive line and Ryan Giggs took up a position on the left wing. But the pre-match discussion on the terraces and in pubs up and down the country centred on Wayne Rooney’s return. Out of action since the international break with a calf injury, the boyhood Everton fan came through Saturday’s training session unscathed and took his place in Sir Alex’s starting XI.

CSKA 0 United 1

The Reds may not have left the Luzhniki Stadium with a trophy this time, but Sir Alex's men departed Russia on a high once more after Antonio Valencia struck his second goal in two games to secure a 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow.

United deservedly reaped maximum reward for a patient and professional performance when Valencia, who had earlier clattered the woodwork, fired home in the 86th minute to maintain the Reds' perfect record in Group B.

Sir Alex was without five first-team regulars for the trip to Russia with Wayne Rooney, Patrice Evra, Darren Fletcher, Ji-sung Park and Ryan Giggs all nursing knocks back in Manchester. But with his side in pole position in the group, there was no need to go for the jugular and that was illustrated in his team selection with John O’Shea providing defensive steel alongside Paul Scholes in central midfield. Anderson, Nani and Valencia provided the attacking threat with Dimitar Berbatov up front on his own.

The Reds dominated much of the early exchanges with Nani, who looped a curling effort just over the bar on two minutes, and Champions League debutant Fabio linking up particularly well down the left flank. Juande Ramos’ CSKA side were not about to be overawed however and Milos Krasic almost made the most of a rare defensive lapse by fellow countryman Nemanja Vidic after four minutes, but the Serbian attacker’s well-struck drive flew high and wide.

Much had been made about the Luzhniki’s plastic pitch before the game and it almost led to a United opener on 25 minutes. Paul Scholes took aim with a 20-yard screamer which bounced just in front of CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev. The Russian stopper's parry could have gone anywhere and he was no doubt relived to see the ball bounce up over the bar and away for a corner.

United 2 Bolton 1

For once, United fans were delighted there were no late goals at Old Trafford.

After cruising through the opening 60 minutes and creating enough chances to have hit double figures, Sir Alex's men ended the match clinging on to a narrow advantage and weathering a barrage of Bolton attacks.

There was a collective sigh of relief when Mark Clattenburg finally blew for full-time, followed by a chorus of “United, top of the league” from the Stretford End. Indeed, despite the visitors’ best efforts and a Matthew Taylor goal 15 minutes from time, an early Zat Knight own goal and Antonio Valencia’s first strike for the Reds netted the three points and ensured United’s top-dog status after Chelsea’s earlier defeat at Aston Villa.

With Wayne Rooney sidelined with a calf injury sustained on England duty, Sir Alex turned to Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen to lead the line against 13th-placed Bolton. It was the first time the pair had started for the Reds and it took just four minutes before United were in front. Owen played a part in the goal, glancing Patrice Evra’s cross before the ball bounced off the hapless Knight and into his own net.

Sir Alex had made wholesale changes in midfield after the Reds’ abject performance against Sunderland a fortnight ago. Anderson and Michael Carrick were preferred in the centre, with Antonio Valencia and Ryan Giggs on the flanks. Anderson was particularly effective, battling well for possession and using the ball intelligently when he invariably won it. When he’s in the mood, the Brazilian’s pass-and-move game is a joy to watch.

United 2 Sunderland 2

United maintained top spot in the Barclays Premier League – even if it is only temporarily with Chelsea and Liverpool in action on Sunday – after a scrappy draw against Sunderland. But it could have been a lot worse for the Reds, who delivered their least convincing performance since losing at Burnley.

Darren Bent put the Black Cats in front on seven minutes, then Dimitar Berbatov hit back after the break with a stunning scissor-kick. But Sunderland regained the lead again through Kenwyne Jones, only for an injury-time leveller courtesy of Patrice Evra and a huge deflection off the heels of Anton Ferdinand.

Credit to Sunderland, who came and fought for every ball, passed it well, and took their chances. United, you can’t help but feel, played the get out of jail free card. The Reds’ aim was to extend the lead over Chelsea and Liverpool, and did that, only by one point rather than three.

Sir Alex Ferguson highlighted the strength of his squad before Sunderland’s visit, and he attempted to utilise that strength by making seven changes from the team that started Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Wolfsburg. In came Ben Foster, Jonny Evans, Darren Fletcher, Paul Scholes, Nani, Dimitar Berbatov and Danny Welbeck, making only his second league start.

Typically autumnal conditions welcomed the teams at Old Trafford, a mixture of rain and sun in the hours before kick-off and, more tellingly, a swirling wind rattled around the inside of the ground. The game started at an almost leisurely pace for United - much too leisurely.

United 2 Wolfsburg 1

A United substitute made all the difference against German opposition in the Champions League. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Ten years after Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored sensational injury-time winners against Bayern Munich to bring Europe’s most prestigious trophy to Old Trafford, Dimitar Berbatov came off the bench to orchestrate a battling come-from-behind win to sink Wolfsburg and keep United on course for a third consecutive Euro final.

Of course, there’s a long way to go before Sir Alex’s men can even dream of walking out at the Bernabeu in May, but the Reds’ 2-1 win over Wolfsburg means United now top Group B, three points clear of the Germans and CSKA Moscow, who beat Besiktas in the night’s early fixture.

Berbatov, thrown on for the injured Michael Owen on 20 minutes, delivered what was arguably his finest performance yet in a red shirt. Astounding touch, vision and accuracy of passing permeated his play from start to finish, as everything United created seemed to go through the Bulgarian.

Sir Alex had begun the match with just six members of the side that beat Besiktas 1-0 in Istanbul on Matchday 1. Tomasz Kuszczak started between the posts, while Michael Owen was handed his first Champions League start in a United shirt.

Paul Scholes, the match-winner in Turkey a fortnight ago and the man confirmed this week as the Premier League’s most accurate passer, had to settle for a place on the bench as Sir Alex opted for a central midfield pairing of Anderson and Michael Carrick.
