Last gasp win at Old Trafford no less than we deserve

It's never been easy for us at Old Trafford. We have forged some key victories over there in the last couple of years but the lads were always under heavy fire and we were often outplayed and fortunate our class in attack was too much for the Red Devils to handle.
Things were different this weekend. We matched Man United and looked the better side at their own ground. As it often happens it didn't produce a better scoreline and we needed to sweat until a last gasp strike by Can Özdemir finally sealed the win. But then again we expected no less from the current Premier League leaders (they dropped down to third after this game).
There was one decisive area that caused us problems. Sir Alex looked to crowd the midfield area and instructed his players to retain possession. While Neil Lennon successfully countered this game plan with numerous thunderous counter attacks I can't avoid asking the question - is our weakness in central midfield the bait we use to our advantage or are we simply waiting to be punished?
