Blackpool 2 United 3
United moved five points clear of the chasing pack in the Barclays Premier League title race, but this was a far from straightforward three points as the Reds had to come back from a two-goal deficit and a below-par performance for almost 70 minutes of this clash at Bloomfield Road.Ian Holloway’s side were 2-0 up and the better side at half-time after headed goals from poorly defended corners from Craig Cathcart and DJ Campbell. But with the home side’s tempo and energy expended, and with...
United 5 Birmingham 0
‘We’re Man United, we do what we want’, United fans have taken to singing this season, and that was the team's mantra as the Reds, led by hat-trick hero Dimitar Berbatov, brilliantly and ruthlessly took Birmingham City apart with unopposed ease.Berbatov sealed a hat-trick of hat-tricks in 2010/11 – the first Red to achieve that since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2002/03 – while Ryan Giggs and Nani completed a comprehensive 5-0 win. The gap should have been much wider in a display on a par with...

West Brom 1 United 2
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez came off the bench to clinch United's second league away win of the season and give the Reds the happiest of starts to the New Year.The Mexican's 75th-minute header, added to a third-minute goal from Wayne Rooney, ensured all three points for the league leaders who survived a major scare when Peter Odemwingie missed a penalty for West Brom just after the hour mark when the score was 1-1. The Baggies had earlier cancelled out Rooney's opener with a stunning long-range...
