United Marching On?
Manchester United start November's programme against Steve Bruce's Sunderland who have been rather disappointing so far this season losing 6 of their first 9 Premier League matches, and the Red Devils will no doubt want to extend that run to 7 losses in 10 by the end of the evening.
EPL - Match Day 10
Sunderland 0 - 3 Man Utd

Manchester United poured salt in Sunderland's wounds today after their poor start to the season dominating the game for large periods and had the game all all tied up within 50 minutes. The opener was a Chicharito special after Rafael put a long ball over the top the Mexican broke straight through and placed a shot past the despairing keeper. The stand out performer in the match was the tireless midfielder Darren Fletcher, who scored two goals as Manchester United romped to victory. Sir Ryan Giggs after the match spoke of his delight regarding Darren Fletcher's performance, 'It was a great effort from the lad, he worked incredibly hard in all aspects of our game he defended well and managed to get two goals.'

95,000 Fans at Old Trafford today witnessed a massacre, 10 goals for the Red Devils and 18 year old Michael Nelson bagged 4 of them. Unbelievable result for Sir Ryan Giggs' side that dominated the Portuguese side in all areas, with everything falling into plan for them. United only had to wait 3 minutes to see the first goal after a delightful ball from young Kilian Kern Wayne Rooney smashed home a powerful effort. Michael Nelson was the outstanding performer today for the Red Devils scoring an incredible 4 goals his first being a penalty which he scored with consummate ease. His second being a simple finish which was handed to him on a plate by Wayne Rooney. He then scored similar goals for the 3rd and 4th efforts after some great work by Antonio Valencia and Wayne Rooney.

Manchester United make it 3 out of 3 so far this month and 13 goals in 2 homes games. In front of a capacity crowd Manchester United dominated Blackburn Rovers today in every area of the pitch despite being without suspended Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney after they both picked up 5 yellow cards. Stand in striker Dimitar Berbatov didn't wait long to get on the score sheet after some great interplay between him and Chicharito that left him to finish with a delightful effort to make it 1 - 0 on the 13th minute mark. Blackburn looked deflated and had nothing to offer in this match, they it could have been many more to the Red Devils. Manchester United's second goal of the game came after the two strikers combined once again with Dimitar Berbatov turning provider as he played a delightful cross which Chicharito got on the end of with a great sliding effort. The third goal of the game was an incredible strike after Chicharito picked up the ball on the edge of the area and he fired a low drive from 25 yards that beat the diving Paul Robinson.

Chicharito once again proved that he was a fantastic finisher after scoring a quickfire double. His first goal came in the 19th minute after he took advantage of Marc Jones shot that rebounded off the keeper. Chicharito's second goal came after Marc Jones once again proved the provider when he put a great low cross into the box for the young Mexican to get there first and slide the ball into the corner. Marc Jones then completed the hat trick of assists when he put a delightful cross into the box for commanding centre back Nemanja Vidic to power a header into the back of the net.

Marc Jones and youthful Michael Nelson take Old Trafford by storm
Two youthful Manchester United players are making all the headlines in the sport pages after putting in top class performances.
Manchester United's form so far this year has been nothing short of outstanding after they have won all of their first 12 Premier League games scoring 32 goals and conceding just 6. A certain Marc Jones has been in all the headlines and for the right reasons after signing from Birmingham City in the summer for a fee believed to be in the region of £5M and what an incredible signing he has been. He has already aided the Red Devils' cause with 10 assists in those first 12 games. Sir Ryan Giggs has commented on the young Welshman's form. 'Marc in an unbelievable talent, he is only 18 years old and has already been capped 22 times, and has continued to develop since arriving here. I have confidence in Marc becoming a United legend and being here for years to come.'
Another player that has been grabbing all the headlines has been a certain Michael Nelson, he has been at the club since coming through he youth system in the 2011/12 season. He hasn't managed to force himself regularly into the first team until this season where new United Boss Sir Ryan Giggs gave him the opportunity, so far he has played 5 matches all in cup and continental competitions where he has scored 7 goals in just 5 matches.
Since breaking into the first team Michael has spoken to the press about his first team opportunities. 'Ryan has been fantastic since he arrived, he has put trust in me and given me the opportunity to show what I can do. I really feel that I can continue to contribute to the United cause and will put all of my effort into doing so.'

Focus turns to International Friendly
vs Luxembourg
Sir Ryan Giggs' focus turns to their friendly against Luxembourg on the 20th November where they will no doubt be looking to finish 2013 with a victory in the same way that they started. The last time these two teams met was the Welsh boss' first match in charge and resulted in a 6 - 0 victory for the Reds with Sir Ryan Giggs netting 4 goals.
This time however they are without talismanic winger Gareth Bale through injury, the Welsh winger hasn't had the best of season's after suffering a string of injuries that have restricted him to just 11 appearances out of Spurs' 19 matches so far in the season. Wales do however have Cardiff born sensation Marc Jones who will no doubt be aiming to add to his tally of 6 goals in 22 matches for Wales after putting in a string of strong performances for Manchester United this season.
Wales will also be without David Vaughan and Aaron Ramsey after they were withdrawn from selection by their club managers which has disappointed the Reds boss. 'I think that players should be allowed to represent their country without being withdrawn, I as manager of Manchester United have released my players to represent their countries despite having an incredibly important match on Saturday against Arsenal. My belief is how can an international side perform or build a squad if they don't have all of their players available to them.'
Wales name starting 11 against Luxembourg
With Gareth Bale, David Vaughan and Aaron Ramsey all unavailable for the Friendly the Wales boss has brought in David Jones and Joe Ledley as replacements in midfield. Other than these two additions the squad remains the same fixed 11 that Sir Ryan has used since his arrival back in July 2010. Andy King keeps his position as the attacking midfielder in the 4 - 4 - 1 - 1 formation.
Wales labour to 3 - 0 victory
Joe Ledley grabbed Wales' first goal as the Red's laboured to a 3 - 0 victory over lowly Luxembourg. The goal came from some great work by Wolves midfielder Andy King who put the ball on a plate for Joe Ledley to execute with aplomb to round off the team move. Wales didn't look entirely comfortable throughout the game with the missing Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale. However this didn't matter as in the 78th minute from a set piece taken by Neil Taylor, Andy King had a free header to put Wales 2 - 0 up. The third goal was a sensational solo effort after Marc Jones ran from inside his own half beating a defender before scoring a well struck effort.

United face Mancini's men
Sir Ryan Giggs and his squad return from international duty to turn their focus straight back onto the prize that is the Premier League Trophy. Manchester United face Arsenal tomorrow, who have recently fallen slightly out of form after an incredible start that rivalled that of todays opponents the Red Devils. Before the International break they suffered defeat to a resurgent Chelsea who have come back into form after a poor start. This match will no doubt be a tough match for both sides with many pundits saying that Manchester United are the favourites as they are the team that has all the players that could be used to counter Arsenal's attacking talents.
Mike Phelan analysis on Arsenal
After watching Arsenal so this season they line up in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation with emphasis on remaining solid at the back, since the arrival of Roberto Mancini. They are a team that if left in possession of the ball can dominate a game so I think it's important for us to get in their faces and stop them from getting into their comfort zone. This will involve playing a high defensive line, as well as hassling the opponents on every occasion. I feel that Darren Fletcher would be a must for this fixture his tenacity will be vitally important. I feel that we have every chance of getting all 3 points from this fixture and feel that we will certainly slam down a gauntlet if we come out of the game with the victory.
Key Man
Darren Fletcher has been key to the success of Manchester United so far this season and his performances have been incredibly consistent so far. He has already scored 2 goals and assisted 4 more. But more than provided goals for his team he has been vital in Manchester United's defensive system. He has forged a strong partnership with fellow midfielder Marc Jones with the pair combining brilliantly so far this season. With the understanding growing between them so have their performances and it is likely that Manchester United will require these two players to remain fit if they are to maintain their success.

Manchester United's Nani's wonder goal encapsulated the incredible victory that the Red Devils secured today. Defeating an Arsenal side performing so well 4 - 0 at Old Trafford. Arsenal couldn't cope with the pressure that Manchester United put them under for the entirety of the match. The tenacity was a team effort with the United players pressuring Arsenal players all over the pitch, not allowing them a second on the ball and this completely stopped the Gunners from getting into their game.
Manchester United's first goal came after a Nani strike was parried by Craig Gordon with Wayne Rooney first to the rebound to fire in an opener after just 16 minutes. The best was still to come as the sensational Nani picked up the ball from a tenacious Darren Fletcher to unleash an incredible curved effort from 30 yards that beat the despairing Craig Gordon. The atmosphere reached a new crescendo on noise as the crowd rose to celebrate a wonder goal from the Portuguese sensation.
The game was then over and done with after Darren Fletcher topped his determined performance with a simple finish after Chicharito broke free from the Arsenal defence to put in a great cross. The final goal of the game perhaps encapsulated Arsenal's performance throughout the game with Scott Dann who had a incredibly poor match passed the ball straight to the Mexican Finisher who fired in a powerfully placed shot past Craig Gordon who looked angered by his teams defensive performance.
Sir Ryan Giggs expressed his delight at the teams performance against Arsenal. 'It is a great day for us, we were the better team in every area of the pitch, they couldn't cope with our pressure at all, Mike's analysis of Arsenal before the match was spot on.' When questioned about Nani's wonder strike, Sir Ryan gave his opinion, 'What a goal that was, it's not every day that you see a goal like that. But that's what he's capable of, he is a top draw player who can pull that out of the bag at any time.'

The scoring was opened by Darren Fletcher after some great work from Mexican Chicharito who played the ball back to the Scot on the edge of the area to hit a low powered shot. Everton got a goal back from a corner after Jack Rodwell got up high and scored with a powerful header. From this point on it was the Nani show as in the 78th minute with Anderson providing the pass he unleashed an incredible strike that went in off the post to make it 2 - 1.

Arsenal boss hits out at United
A week after Manchester United's emphatic 4 - 0 win over Arsenal, Robeto Mancini has hit out on Sir Ryan Giggs' United side.
In the wake of the match between the two title rivals Roberto Mancini has lashed out stating 'they kicked us out of the game.' He said 'they came at our players like a charging bull, they didn't play a fair game against us. If they played us in a game of football we would have got the upper hand.'
After hearing these comments many pundits have questioned Roberto Mancini's thought pattern after Manchester United received no yellow cards and committed 11 fouls, whilst Arsenal received 2 yellow cards and committed 18 fouls. Roberto Mancini has based his Arsenal side on a tight defence with hard tackling something that was accused of Sir Ryan Giggs' United.
When asked about Arsenal's title hopes with Manchester United now 10 points ahead of the Gunners. 'There are still chances for us, we are only 14 games into the season, there are still 24 to go. Manchester can still suffer from injuries and drop in form, it is not lost.' Arsenal now have dropped below Chelsea. Their form has dropped massively from the start of the season with them conceding 1 goal in their first 12 Premier League games, they have now conceded 7 goals in 14 games. Roberto Mancini is clearly not happy with the drop in form shown by Arsenal over the past few days.

Carling Cup - Quarter Final Draw
Manchester United are one of 8 teams that are left in the Carling Cup, having won their first 2 matches with consummate ease and a some what ghost squad named in those matches. The Red Devils have so far scored 6 goals in their first 2 matches with the list of scorers being,
Dimitar Berbatov - 2
Michael Nelson - 2
Wayne Rooney - 1
Marc Jones - 1
Michael Nelson has been making a name for himself at Manchester United since breaking through this season and has been in dazzling form. He will no doubt be looking to continue contributing to their great success so far. The teams remaining in the Carling Cup - Quarter Final Draw are as follows,
- Aston Villa
- Blackburn
- Chelsea
- Liverpool
- Man Utd
- Notts Forest
- Tottenham
