Title Hope - Revive (for how long?)

 
City 0-1 United
Manchester Derby and both teams want to win it badly for different purpose, not just for local pride.

United: Van Der Sar, Neville (C), Evans, Vidic, Evra, Valencia, Fletcher, Scholes, Gibson, Giggs, Rooney.

Rooney is back, but defender lynch pin is absent.

1st Half: High pace game and all 22 players are up for it. 50-50 challeges are made everywhere. United's had upper hand, few chances wasted especially Rooney in dying minutes of the half.

2nd Half: The pace are slightly decreased and City looked dangerous from counter attacks. United looked off the pace until Rooney, Gibson and Valencia subbed out for Berbatov, Obertan and Nani. No real significant contribution from them, but at the very last moment Scholes finished off a good cross from Evra.

3 points in the bag and hopefully, hopefully Spurs can nick something against their London rival to consolidate their Champions League spot.
