    Manchester United – When Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney Assist

    Somehow, it became 3-0. Manchester United didn’t play too well, but were spot on with their set pieces. One from Robin van Persie, finding Jonny Evans with a rare goal and one from Wayne Rooney, finding Patrice Evra for a rare goal. No need for midfield dominance or some fantastic attacking. Just being clinical upfront and efficient down back. The way Ferguson likes it.
