Man United 1
Rooney (34)
Birmingham 0

75,062 Old Trafford

I have to admit… this is not really a convincing win for United but still plenty of promises.  Manutd should win at least 3 to 4 goals in this match…but what we got is only 1 from Wayne Rooney.

Fabio look nervous in the first 30 minutes and he got a difficult time to link  up with Valencia. Rooney..Evra have a good match and his nodded off the line really save United. Berbatov and Nani most of the time slowing down the match..and I really missed fast counter attack like last season.

Birmingham City goal keeper, Joe Hart also have a really good match but…seeing Manutd players wasted too many chances really bother me. I missed count how many times they shoot wide in a very clear chance!

In the last 20 minutes, Micheal Owen makes his Manutd debut in Premier League and he twice came close in injury time, first rolling the ball into the net from an offside position and then breaking free for a one-on-one that Hart won by diverting the shot for a corner with his outstretched left flag. Quite a good debut for Owen – I think.

Finally.. a win is a win no matter how is the score!
