BBC Match Preview Ruud van Nistelrooy is back for Manchester United after three games out with a hamstring injury. David Beckham, Juan Veron, Ryan Giggs and French duo Fabien Barthez and Laurent Blanc all return to the squad following the midweek Champions League defeat.
I'm hesisitant to post a result in here with no [R] on the title, but here goes: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . And United win it 2-1--the hero is Forlan in the 85th. Couldn't be happier for the guy, hopefully this helps him out a lot. Still it bothers me that they had to go that long with the score tied, but a win is a win. If anyone saw it on TV, did they look like they were back together, or did it seem like they were still a bit rusty? I think next game for sure it should all be fine.
Another ugly 4-5-1 performance that had to be rescued by reverting to the 4-4-2 ( and later to a 3-4-3 formation as Alex became ever more desperate).
Oops, I forgot the [R] Manchester United 2-1 Southampton A late winner from substitute Diego Forlan gave Manchester United a vital victory over Southampton . . . . .
