070826: Man Utd 1 - 0 Tottenham Hotspurs

All it took was a moment of brilliance from a future Man Utd legend as Nani scored his first competitive goal for Man Utd.

My prediction went awry as the Man Utd defence totally exhibited a brand of defending that made Tottenham really happy as Berbatov proved to be a nuisance all night, which coupled with another poor night of offence, showed that Man Utd still needs to prove their title credentials.

In the end, Man Utd undeservedly came away with a victory.

The warning signs started in the first minute as Keane (after a marvellous back-heel from Berbatov) tried an audacious effort from 25 yards, but fortunately, the ball clipped the bar.

I hope this win will show that Man Utd needs to work on a Plan C, which certain Devils can do and that is long-range shooting eg. Scholes, Carrick and now, Nani. From my previous review, Plan B is about getting goals from corners and set-pieces.

Next up; Sunderland.
