Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had observers reaching for their history books on Tuesday night when he named a starting XI against Stoke City which featured players of 11 different nationalities.

For the record, the historic United starting XI was Tomasz Kuszczak (Poland), Rafael Da Silva (Brazil), Nemanja Vidic (Serbia), Chris Smalling (England), Patrice Evra (France), Nani (Portugal), Darren Fletcher (Scotland), Darron Gibson (Northern Ireland-born, Republic of Ireland international), Ryan Giggs (Wales), Dimitar Berbatov (Bulgaria) and Javier Hernandez (Mexico).

Manchester United moved 3 points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to a hard fought 2-1 victory over Stoke at Old Trafford. United opened the scoring with Hernandez beautiful back-heel from Nani cross. United seemed in total control but couldn’t get the second and Stoke shocked Old Trafford by drawing level just after half-time. Dean Whitehead finding the back of the net with a header. However it wasn’t long before United were back in front, Nani firing home a superb, left-foot curler just after the hour.

With an FA Cup tie to come here on Sunday against Liverpool, Ferguson not surprisingly made some changes to his team. Defender Chris Smalling made his first Premier League start for United as Rio Ferdinand missed out, while Darron Gibson and Ryan Giggs came in and Nani made a return after a hip problem.
With Wayne Rooney also absent — having suffered an ankle injury in the win at West Brom — the Mexican centre forward Hernandez started the game.

Another struggle match for United..but… with another 3 points that put United 3 points clear with 1 game in hand??.. no more comment!

1-0 Hernandez

2-1 Nani
