Oh, my bad. But I did frustrated when we are overpower by travelling fans. Love the crowd at White Hart Lane. And in all the bundesliga match especially.

It's the price you have to pay when winning trophies.

The best crowd I've ever seen in EPL is Liverpool. As much as I hate them but you have to give them respect. Even losing in big margin they will support the team nevertheless.

Man United vs Wigan Player Ratings


Man Utd

Lindegaard - 7
Despite the 4-0 score line his team's favour, the Manchester United goalkeeper had to be alert - and he was - throughout the game especially with Wigan's Beausejour getting plenty of dangerous crosses into the box. He also capped his performance off with a clean sheet.

Rafael - 5
The more we see Rafael play, the more we wonder whether the Brazil international is good enough to be Gary Neville's replacement at Old Trafford. His poor positioning and his bad habit of diving into tackles was evident once again and he certainly came off second best in his battle against Beausejour.

Ferdinand - 6
The former England captain was almost caught napping by Kone shortly after the second half began but luckily for Ferdinand he reacted quickly enough to gather the ball before the Wigan player could dispossess him.

Vidic (Off 76') - 6.5
With United enjoying so much possession against Wigan, it was up to the United skipper to ensure they stayed focused at the back. For the most part, Vidic did the job and earns himself a slightly better than average rating from us here.

Buttner - 8.5
One man at Old Trafford who perhaps was not smiling after Manchester United's crushing 4-0 win over Wigan might be Patrice Evra. The Frenchman has been United's undisputed first choice left-back for over five years but after Saturday's performance against Wigan, Buttner might have something to say about that.

Buttner was brilliant. Even without his goal, he had an excellent game - linking up with Welbeck and the United attack very effectively and he can certainly be pleased with his efforts on his debut.

Nani - 6.5
Nani came to life in the second half otherwise we might all be talking about another poor display from the Portuguese. There's no doubt he can have a tremendous influence on games from the wing as illustrated by a brilliant 15-minute spell against Wigan in the second half which resulted in three goals for the home team. However, at the same time he is also prone to disappearing from games as shown by his first 45 minutes against the Latics.

Carrick - 6.5
It was a typically unflashy but good game from Carrick in midfield. The England international patiently went about his business trying to help United find the holes in the Wigan defence. His well-weighted cross into the box for Welbeck in the first half to set up the forward for a decent effort on goal sums up the quality he brings to the United midfield.

Scholes (Off 70') - 7.5
Scholes still scores goals... even at age 37. On his 700th appearance for the 19-time English champions, Scholes was the difference again in what was, at that point, a close game. The United veteran tapping home from five yards after Al Habsi had pushed Nani's cross into his path.

Giggs (Off 70') - 7
After a less than noteworthy first half, Giggs responded to Sir Alex's words at half-time in real positive fashion. United came off the blocks after the interval led by a strong midfield display which included Giggs.

Hernandez - 7.5
Like so many of the United players on Saturday, Hernandez overcame a below-par first half to end on a high against Wigan. Having missed a penalty in the opening minutes of the game, the Mexico striker redeemed himself with a goal and an assist in the last half hour of the match.

Welbeck - 8
Welbeck is not the finished the article by any stretch of the imagination, but he led the line for Manchester United against Wigan very impressively it must be said. His finishing wasn't anything to get excited about, but his link-up play in Saturday's 4-0 win over Wigan was worthy of his high score here.

Subs
Van Persie (On 70') - 6.5
A nice little cameo appearance for Van Persie with some good touches and passes to warm him up for United's midweek UEFA Champions League clash against Galatasaray.

Powell (On 70') - 7
Powell looked good on the ball during his debut and his first few touches of the game showed a midfielder who has real confidence in his game. And it's a game which - in case you haven't seen his record at Crewe - includes goals. Powell already off the mark for United after a thunderous shot from outside the area beat the hapless Al Habsi.

Evans (On 77') - N/A
Came on for the skipper Vidic.

Btw, they rated Rafael quite low. Sure he's not good in 1on1 situation, but he's improving.

Wow. Sorry but that's a terribly written article. I thought Rafael played decently well. Definitely didn't deserve a 5. As for Buttner, he didn't have a good game in my opinion. He's rash into tackles and wasteful going forward. Most of his crosses didn't find anyone. It's his debut so hopefully he'll learn from his mistakes. Yes, he did score a goal but this isn't FM where defenders scoring goals will immediately grant you a 8 and above rating. IMHO, his overall game was poor.

Van der Sar reveals role in Van Persie transfer

Manchester United legend Edwin van der Sar has revealed how he convinced former Arsenal captain Robin van Persie about moving to Old Trafford.

Van der Sar says they spoke about two of his former clubs in Juventus and United, both of whom were keen on the player - but United dominated the conversation.

"He called me up and said other clubs were in for him, but because I played for two of them, United and Juventus, he wanted to hear my thoughts about them," he is quoted by the Daily Telegraph.

"So we spoke for five minutes about Juventus and 55 minutes about United.


"He wanted to know how good United were, what he would find there, how the players are, what Ferguson is like, how they train, how the system works.

"He has shown his quality already. I read a statement from Ryan Giggs, saying that United have signed good players and good talent before, but that this one [Van Persie] has everything.

"He has the whole package already, but that doesn't always mean it will work of course. Look at Fernando Torres at Chelsea. His first year was difficult, but I think the signs with Robin are good, though."

LOL-ed at the low rating for Rafael. I think he played better compared to the other first few games this season.

Everyone can be real shit, even messi.
Welbeck was awful last nite. No end product and decision making was terrible. He could have played it simple but make it difficult. He has to look at himself. Keep playing like this and he will be playing in league cup.

Works hard and involved in team play doesn't mean that you are playing well.
*

He wasn't awful. He played well. You know you can still ply well without converting your chances. It's not like he sit on his arse all game long and do nothing. Yes he messed things up now and then, but I don't see anyone else berating Nani or Hernandez for yet another misplaced pass.

Gv chica and rvp starting slots better, welbeck got lots to learn from them. If he continues wasting chance after chance, it'll be costly at the end of the season.

Need to continue run of games to rvp, he's in good form. Shouldn't rotate him while he's fit imo.
*

RVP did get a knock in his last game for the Dutch. And with his injury record, and having Gala and Liverpool next, the Wigan game was the perfect chance to rest him and a few others. Wigan at home is usually easy and despite playing without Kagawa, Evra, RVP(until final 20mins), Rooney and Cleverley, we still put out a very strong team. Our bench have so much firepower for that game its unreal.

if welbeck was awful he would have been taken off during half time...i dont get how ppl can judge a player's performance based on a few bad decisions rather than his overall contribution throughout the game doh.gif

that goal was possible only because Welbeck closed down on a Wigan player, took the ball away and started the counter attack, but i am sure people will only say that he's soft, he didn't made a wise decision, thus he was useless in the starting lineup
