Sir Alex Ferguson may not have added to his single win in a 13-match head-to-head with Jose Mourinho but this was a victory in every other sense for the current European Cup winning boss.
The reigning champions outplayed Inter Milan in Italy and surely Fergie will be adding a second success over his old adversary in the second leg at Old Trafford on March 11.

Utd 2 Blackburn 1
United needed a Cristiano Ronaldo rocket to secure victory against a spirited Blackburn side at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney put the Reds ahead with a close-range finish before Roque Santa Cruz ended United's record run without conceding a league goal with the streak standing at 1,334 minutes.
A tight game with controversial decisions, yet a win is a win. Great!

Utd 3 Fulham 0
It was Giggs last game, now it is Scholes, another great performance by the old guards, will it be Neville next?
United went five points clear at the top of the Premier League thanks to goals from Paul Scholes, Dimitar Berbatov and returning star Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford.
Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar completed his 14th consecutive league clean sheet as Sir Alex Ferguson's side continued their superb recent form.

Derby 1 Utd 4
Ryan Giggs turned in a scintillating performance as Manchester United eased into the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 4-1 victory over Derby at Pride Park.
Giggs did not get his name on the scoresheet as Nani, Darron Gibson, Cristiano Ronaldo and Danny Welbeck took the honours.

West Ham 0 Utd 1
A rare right-footed goal from Ryan Giggs and a rather more predictable 13th consecutive Premier League clean sheet were enough for Manchester United to reclaim top spot with a 1-0 win over West Ham at Upton Park.
In a lacklustre game of huff and puff, with not much else in between, Edwin van der Sar never looked in serious danger of being denied a British record for not conceding a goal that now extends to 1,212 minutes.

Utd 1 Everton 0
United extended their lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a routine victory over Everton at Old Trafford. Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winner from the penalty spot just before half time after Mikel Arteta fouled Michael Carrick as the Reds midfielder drove towards goal. The Reds also kept a record 12th consecutive Premier League clean sheet and rarely looked troubled by the visitors.
