Today showed the raw talent of a great Manchester United side.
Cristiano Ronaldo started the onslaught with a very cheeky goal in the 16th minute, back heeling the ball through a Martin Laursen's legs and into the goal, the goal keeper had no chance, this sent Ronaldo to 35 goals scored in one season, still chasing Denis Law's record of 42 in any one season, with a few matches yet to play, its still possible to beat that long term record.
Ronaldo then went on to cross a great ball into the penalty area, where Carlos Tevez was waiting and managed to head it,straight into the Villa net in the 32nd minute.
United went in at half time, two goals to the good.
After the break it took only seven minutes, before Wayne Rooney,scoring his first goal in ages, when he fired the ball in the back of the net, in the 52nd minute,giving United a great three goal cushion.
It was not long before Wayne went on to get a second goal in the 69th minute, there was no way back for Aston Villa, in truth this game was over at 2-0.
The scoreline could well have been a lot more like 7-0 rather than what it was.
For those who went to Old Trafford today, saw a true exhibition of how a team plays together as a unit, today it rained all through the match but did it dampen the spirit of the Old Trafford faithful,with over 75.000 fans at the match, not a chance, the support for this club is sometimes just too hard to put into words, it just knows no bounds and is totally umatched by any other club of its kind.

Great great game. I was amazed at Villa's inability to provide any form of resistance to Man Utd's decisive and one touch play. United mauled them.I must admit i have been the biggest critic of Giggs this season but i was quite impressed with him today. Ronaldo was his usual self and Rooney & Tevez were immense too. Guess Chelsea have to repeat that tomorrow. Wish us luck mate !!

Yes I know the keeper is called Carson but it was Martin Laursen who was in front of the ball and it was his legs that the ball went thorugh but thank you for the comment and pointing out I had made a spelling mistake.

Last night's game was probably the best display from United all season,slick passing,brilliant off the ball movement and great goals.The team put out by Sir Alex was the same of last season with the exception of Carlos Tevez,and the quality of the team also showed
