With the excitement to Paul Scholes coming out of retirement and also talk of United getting revenge over their noisy neighbours, I was expecting a really feisty and hotly contested 3rd round FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium. Well I surely got what I bargained for and I think more.
United eventually won 3-2 but only after holding off a second half comeback from City. United lead at half time with goals from Rooney (with badge kissing celebration), Welbeck and a Rooney penalty. City then came back after the interval through a Kolorov freekick and an opportunist goal by Aguerro.
Paul Scholes made his second debut on the 60th minute and I thought his introduction adversely affected United. It was not the game that he should be introduced but that was my thought only. I also think that Rio and Jones kinda are carrying injuries or something because they were really bad.
End of the day, job done eventhough I would've like to see payback. Let's just see who awaits us in the 4th round.
P/s: Did anyone see how Beckham was jealous to see Scholes get the chance to play again?
wayne rooney was EXCELLENT!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME Manchester United.
They lack focus and motivation at times during the game, but a win is a win!
