Manchester United Ease To Victory

An­der­son

Manchester United eased to vic­tory as Sir Alex Ferguson´s troops de­mol­ished the MLS All Stars 4–0 at the Red Bull Arena in New Jer­sey on Wed­nes­day night after goals from An­der­son, Ji-Sung Park, Di­m­itar Ber­batov and Danny Wel­back. Former Manchester United and Eng­land hero David Beck­ham played all ninety minutes of the friendly for the MLS All Stars and the Los Angeles Galaxy star had a good game for the hosts.

An­der­son scored the open­ing goal when the all ac­tion mid­field ace rifled the ball into the bot­tom right corner of the net in the 20 the minute of the game be­fore South Korea player Ji-sung Park ad­ded a second goal shortly be­fore the in­ter­val. Just seven minutes after the re­sump­tion, the ir­re­press­ible Di­m­itar Ber­batov latched onto a long punt for­ward from Wayne Rooney to make the sco­reline read 3–0 in Manchester United´s fa­vour. Sub­sti­tute Danny Wel­back scored the fourth goal in the 68th minute with an ef­fort from out­side the pen­alty area that took a de­flec­tion off Hou­s­ton Dy­namo de­fender Geoff Cameron on its way into the net. The match was un­doubtedly a good work out for Manchester United who will re­turn to Eng­land on Sunday, ahead of their Com­munity Shield game against rivals Manchester City. Alas, Mex­ico in­ter­na­tional Javier Hernan­dez was ab­sent last night as the striker suffered con­cus­sion dur­ing train­ing at the Red Bull Arena on Tuesday.
