Glory... Glory... Man United!!!

"Glory... Glory... Man United!" Haven't heard this song for quite some time already but now i'm all ready to chant along in each Man Utd game! Yes, the Red Devils produced a captivating 2nd half performance to earn a comeback victory after going down 1-0 at half time...

Wigan scored a remarkable goal very early at the 5th minute. That shaken the team as well as the fans! Although MU managed to create chances here & there, they just couldn't convert it. Rooney even hit the post! Overall, Wigan's flow was much better & they successfully contain most of the MU attacks. I was really worried if MU would lose this match seeing their current performance...

Then Giggs came on the start of the 2nd half. The formation changed with Giggs & Solskjaer playing on both wings. It seems that Ferguson's half time hair-dryer session has worked & MU stepped up a gear. Solskjaer & Saha missed a couple of chances before Vidic finally headed in the goal from a corner to draw the game level. That was Vidic's 1st ever goal in a MU shirt. 4 minutes later, Rooney's cross found Saha. With a superb first touch, he scored the spectecular second goal. MU was back in the driving seat after conceding that 5th minute goal.

MU could have added more goals to the scoresheet through Rooney, Saha, Giggs & Solskjaer. Giggs had a valid penalty claim ignored by the referee as he signalled play-on in MU's advantage. In injury time, Solskjaer added icing onto the cake by scoring the 3rd MU goal in style. He brushed off a couple of challenges by the opposition defenders before slotting the ball into the net. The goalkeeper didn't even make a move as all watched the ball rolling into the net.

The result is one reason to be happy with as MU will continue to stay on top of the league table. With great performance in the last 2 games, Wigan (3-1) & Newcastle (2-0), the team's confidence should be at a high point going into next week's Champions League fixture. Moreover, Rooney rediscovered some of his old form during the 2nd half of the game against Wigan.

I can feel the passion in the team once again after a few trophy-less seasons. I hope the team can carry on the current form for the rest of the season. Winning trophies plus playing entertaining football would certainly increase the fan base. Till then, i think i need to look for the lyrics of the MU theme song...
