Sunderland vs. Manchester United

Buttner really is making a claim of being the permanent left back in the team. Fabio is going to really have to fight for his place when he comes back, Evra also if Buttner carries this form on.

Are we ignoring the fact that Evra has had an excellent season?

I agree that Buttner in his last 2 outings has looked good, but he is nowhere near first choice.
 
this is true, at the time of his bad injury he was in stunning form, for me not quite reached that form.

To be fair he got injured 5 or 6 games into a season, it's difficult to tell what kind of form he was in.

He has always been ok going forward. Real test will be if sunderland actually start to attack and he is forced the defend
 
Well played Carrick

Special mention for Buttner so far this half he's been brilliant.
 
That was brilliant from Carrick, simply brilliant.
 
Valencia running at his man and wins the corner. Good to see him not just stopping and holding it up

Not sure if serious.This is Buttner first decent match in a while ... Evra has got nothing to worry about from him

Did I say that he is GOING to be first choice? Feck sake!! I said he giving a good account of himself, and he is currently giving Sir Alex food for thought, and personally, I would have him behind Evra with Fabio third choice. We will wait and see.
 
Comfortable half.

Kagawa has looked good so far, Carrick excellent again. Hopefully Rafael's injury is nothing serious.
 
Young has been crap and Val anonymous. Carrick and Kagawa the stand outs for me.
