This war for the reds goal two veteran age addition is: 75 years old! Paul Scholes has been dedicated to his two Premiership goals, Ryan Giggs scored as early as in the Premier League against Norwich, and after 19 years, he made his 900th appearance for United and helped secure the first Premiership victory. This is truly a popular historic story! Sir Alex admitted after the game that the team was performing poorly, being mostly passive, but it was these two veterans who helped the team win this thrilling three points and not fall behind in the title race. Another player worth mentioning is the Spanish goalkeeper De Gea. Not only did he make some crucial saves, but also significantly improved his clearance skills when facing Norwich's continuous crosses on his weak side.
With Nemanja Vidic out long-term with injury and Rio Ferdinand unable to play every game due to rotation in the defensive personnel, nearly in 12 games competitions, Manchester United have only kept clean sheets in three matches. De Gea’s own performance has had its ups and downs, so he needs such a confidence-boosting performance to stabilize his form. Due to his injury, Anderson's status is unclear, making it difficult for Michael Carrick + Paul Scholes to maintain their central midfield roles for too long. Sir Alex finds it necessary to push Phil Jones into the back position to ease troubles, especially since right-back options like Silva and MaLing are capable.
The next round against Tottenham will be tough as they aim to rebound. Manchester United hopes Wayne Rooney and the veterans continue to shine while relying on De Gea and Phil Jones, the two new stars, to go all out. Meanwhile, Manchester City continues their record of six league wins at home in Europe despite Kolo Toure's return, Balotelli's apology, and Carlos Tevez's return from suspension and back in training, which should aid them in the process.
Tottenham's reverse in the eighth game, losing two goals under the lead, fully revealed their lack of resistance, meaning they are far from the title race. They will shift to a more realistic goal: maintaining third place in the FA Cup and fighting for promotion. Chelsea's situation is not easy with only one win in February, an ominous sign. Through the crisis, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, and Ashley Cole couldn't start in the central European Champions League week, but Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard scored, showing a compromise in the dressing room achieving a win-win situation. Among ten big bosses without Champions League coaching experience, Pau Gasol contributed 15+14+7 to help the Grizzlies score 76 points in those years we took our 116.
