Manchester United handed Hull their first away defeat, however the score line did not reflect the dominance that Manchester United had for the majority of the game.
“We should have won by 10 goals, but ended up scrambling,’ Sir Alex Ferguson said. ‘They only had two chances in the match and scored three goals. We had 10 or 11 clear chances and frittered them away. We were almost left embarrassed.”
Nani caused trouble down the right flank in the first half but was substituted by Tevez in the (64′).
Manchester United’s next match is against Celtic in the Champions League on Wed 05th November.

United 4 West Brom 0
Filed Under Premiership | 1 Comment
Manchester United beat West Bromich Albion 4-0 in front of a crowd of 75,000 at Old Trafford today. Nani came on as a replacement for Park in the 70th minute and immediately made an impression. He crossed from the left and Berbatov finished for United’s third goal.
In injury time, Nani was again in the right spot when he was on the end of a Rooney cross and scored to make the final result 4-0.
Even though Nani did not have much of an opportunity to impress, he still managed to get a great ball across which lead to Berbatov’s goal and scored one himself in injury time. You can’t ask for much more than that in the twenty or so minutes he was on the pitch.
