Manchester United Set A New Record

Sir Alex Ferguson

The 2–0 win over Nor­wich City at Old Traf­ford last Sat­urday saw Manchester United set a new re­cord of 19 suc­cess­ive home vic­tor­ies in the Barclays Premier League. After 69 minutes of play, at­tack­ing mid­fielder An­der­son found the back of the net fol­low­ing a flag kick from Ryan Giggs be­fore Danny Wel­beck sealed the tri­umph for Manchester United when he scored his fifth goal of the sea­son with two minutes remaining.

Sir Alex Fer­guson: “Our home re­cord has been fant­astic for two sea­sons now. This was not a good per­form­ance but we were gritty and we never gave in. That is a fant­astic qual­ity to have. I don´t ex­pect An­der­son to score with a header. I felt we needed someone to get hold of the ball up front. Danny Wel­beck did that and he also got an­other goal.”
