Stoke 0 United 2



A dominant display from the Reds coupled with goals from Dimitar Berbatov and John O’Shea secured an impressive 2-0 victory over Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium, but the star of the show once again was Ryan Giggs.

Having run rings round Manchester City’s defence last time out setting up three of United’s four goals in the dramatic derby win, the club’s record appearance-maker came off the bench to inspire the Reds to a seventh straight victory in all competitions with two more vital assists.

Stoke offered little in attack and simply couldn’t cope with United’s Welsh wonder who, five minutes after entering the fray, crossed for Berbatov to tap home, before curling a free-kick onto the head of O’Shea who flicked in United’s second.

Sir Alex Ferguson made ten changes to the side that started against Wolves in midweek with Nani the only survivor from the Carling Cup third round victory, and the Portuguese winger was heavily involved in United’s early attacks. Just three minutes in, his deflected cross fell to Wayne Rooney whose instinctive overhead kick flew over the bar.

The United pair combined well four minutes later from a short corner with Nani sending a low curling effort just wide of Thomas Sorensen’s left-hand post.

Former Reds’ defender Ryan Shawcross breathed a sigh of relief 60 seconds later when he lost out in a 50/50 challenge with Antonio Valencia allowing the Ecuadorian a free run on goal. Despite having Rooney alongside him, the winger opted to shoot himself with the opportunity to open his United account too.

United 1 Wolves 0



A superb goal from Danny Welbeck took United through to the fourth round of the Carling Cup, but the reigning holders were made to work for their progress after surviving the first-half dismissal of Fabio.

The Brazilian full-back was red-carded just before the half-hour mark for hauling down Michael Kightly as the last man, but Welbeck popped up midway through the second half with a wonderfully crisp finish, bagging his first goal of the season at a perfect time.

The England youth international provided the outstanding moment of quality in a largely bitty affair. Clear-cut chances were at a premium, with Wolves' ambition barely galvanised by their numerical advantage.

Predictably, Sir Alex Ferguson made wholesale changes from the side which edged Sunday's epic Manchester derby. Only Michael Owen and Michael Carrick, both late substitutes against the Blues, started against Mick McCarthy's side. An influx of youth and fringe players prevailed, with senior squad debutants Joshua King and Magnus Eikrem named on the bench.

United bossed possession from the first whistle, but were frequently denied by stout defending from the visitors. On the rare occasions an opening presented itself, goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann was quick to spot the danger, clutching one particularly dangerous cross from Nani when Owen was lurking.

It was the visitors who came closest to an opening goal, however, when Sylvan Ebanks-Blake fashioned space, swivelled and curled a 20 yard shot just over Kuszczak's goal. The former United striker was asking plenty of questions of Wes Brown and Jonny Evans, but the Reds' central defensive partnership largely kept the 23-year-old on a short leash.
