Red devils run riot.....

after watching the MU - Bolton game, i have to say that it was one of MU's best game in the last month and a half or so....they totally outclassed Bolton and looked to be back at their best as they rarely had to move out of 2nd or 3rd gear in the 4 - 1 win with Rooney and Park Ji-Sung both getting a brace....there were quite a lot of positives that MU can take out of this match...

Rooney seems to be back on form, netting 3 goals in the last 2 games....Ronaldo had a very good game, creating the first 3 goals, including a superb counter-attack with Rooney that resulted in Rooney scoring his first of 2 fantastic goals on the night... what's even better is that both players seems to have put aside any bad feelings from the World Cup aside as Ronaldo made full use of the space Bolton allowed him to terrorise their defence.....also, alan smith's return to action without any major problems is certainly going to be a major boost for Sir Alex as MU heads into the next few games with only one fully fit striker in Rooney....

the victory mood however, was somewhat dampened when gary neville was forced off with only 10 minutes on the clock with an ankle injury that will rule him out of action for the next 3 weeks...this is definitely an injury MU could do without as they head into the crucial part of the season....

as MU plays Middlesborough in the FA cup replay at OT on monday, i certainly hope they can maintain the same sort of performance to keep the treble dreams alive...
