Man United vs Stoke City Minute by Minute

Almost by Ronaldo if Manucho didnt touch it, it was in
 
Stoke break after a good challenge by Shawcross on Evra, but United quickly mop up and break themselves. Ronaldo played through on goal, instead of shooting with the left he tries to square it to Manucho, who heads over the bar after pressure from behind, goal kick
 
Andy Wilkinson about to come on for Stoke

Ronaldo gets the ball from a cross field pass, wins the ball brilliantly chesting it away from Griffin, but he slices the ball wide of the far post. Last involvement for Griffin
 
Ronaldo goes for goal and misses, Berba was at the back post, but fair enough
 
Higgenbotham has played United at OT 5 times since he left apparently, and has lost each game

United queing up to score, Carrick through but again chooses to square, ball eventually falls to Berbatov with the keeper stranded, but enough Stoke bodies behind the ball to block
 
Cleared off the line from a Berbatov effort, great set up by Ronaldo and Carrick
 
Bit of carnival football by United, some great pass and move drawing the odd 'ole' from the crowd. John O'Shea loses the ball though

Vidic gets the ball in the penalty area, no idea why he's up there, but is forced out wide, and eventually conceeds a throw
 
What a fecking goal by Welbeck 28 yds out on the run what a strike
 
Welbeck collects halfway in the Stoke half. A little bumblingly gathers the ball in his path, but eventually gets it dug out, and from about 40 yards out he unleashes one into the top corner, magnificent goal. Great way to get off the mark for his United career! :D
 
Into the last 5 minutes, United have a free kick wide right. Be suprised if Ronaldo doesn't cross this, but lines up as if to strike on goal

Is a cross, dangerous but Faye heads away from Berbatovs forehead
 
8 man wall fails to prevent Ronaldo curling it around. Sorensen is stood that side, but clearly he has a mental issue with these Ronaldo strikes, and it beats him into the corner of the net
 
Manucho slides in looking to get on the end of a pull back, but ball cleared before he can get on the end of it. Stoke are shot, they just want to get off the park. United haven't ever really needed to turn it on that much, but have been utterly dominant. Stoke outclassed
 
Oooh! Manucho fires wide, after Ronaldo twists and turns and sits the Stoke full back on his arse. Brilliant football, Ronaldo back on song today

Full time, United win 5-0
 
Holy shit, what a set up by Ronaldo for Manucho, just wide; Our best player, THE best play in the world hath returned

Full time

5-0
