Audi Cup: Man Utd 2 Boca Juniors 1

Anderson netted his first goal for the club with a stunning free-kick. He curled an unstoppable free-kick from outside the right-hand corner of the penalty area into the far corner of Roberto Abbondanzieri's goal for his first ever goal for the Red Devils.

Valencia then scored on his Manchester United debut. He received the ball centrally from Rooney and, with a dip of the shoulder, he skipped past two Boca defenders before taking aim and releasing a shot from the edge of the area which squirmed under Abbondanzieri's body and in.

Federico Insua reduced the arrears in the 55th minute as the Argentinians dominated the second half, but Sir Alex Ferguson's side held on to reach the final with a score of 2-1.

Darron Gibson crossed after collecting a superb crossfield pass from Anderson, and though Dimitar Berbatov was repelled by Mohammed Farizal Marlias, Rooney was on hand to expertly steer a shot into the top corner.

Rooney then threaded a superb pass through the home defence, Nani applied the finish and it appeared United would saunter home.

Mohammed Amri Yahyah, one of only two full internationals to start for the Malaysian side, who halved the deficit just before the interval, then levelled eight minutes after the re-start. On both occasions, questions could be asked of the goalkeeper.

But Michael Owen marked his Manchester United debut with a late winner to save his side's blushes in Kuala Lumpur. When Zoran Tosic was upended in the penalty area going for a 50-50 challenge, there was Owen to pounce on the loose ball and stroke the Red Devils to victory.

The other players to miss out were the perenially injured Hargreaves, Welbeck and Rafael Da Silva, who has been suffering with an ankle problem since the end of last season.

Latest Man Utd Transfer New: In for Ibrahimovic?

Manchester United have been keeping their eyes on Inter ace Zlatan Ibrahimovic and are ready to make a bid after missing out on Karim Benzema, according to The Mirror. Despite reports in England, Inter director Lele Oriali claimed on Tuesday that the striker will be staying with the Nerazzurri.

If reports in England are to be believed, Ferguson would have to offer the Nerazzurri a mega payment within the next 24 hours in order to beat Mourinho's transfer deadline. Over the last few weeks, reports in Italy regarding the striker's future have become less frequent, suggesting he is likely to remain.

Obertan underwent a medical yesterday and reports in France have claimed he will cost the Red Devils around £3million.

Michael Owen could be a Manchester United player by the end of Friday after a day of medical checks in the city. The England international is without a club following the expiry of his contract with Newcastle United and it appeared only Stoke City and Hull City were interested in offering him a contract. But now it appears Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to snap up a player who is fourth in the all-time goalscorers list for his country. Newspaper reports suggest the contract will be purely incentive based, depending on minutes played and goals scored.

Quotes from Vidic:“I got offers from Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid and I played a very honest game - I disclosed all these offers to my boss Sir Alex.“He reacted quickly. I was told he was raising my pay to bring it to the level where my reputation is in the Premier League and Europe. “After Milan and Real Madrid made their offers, Barcelona came in - they wanted to pay £30m for my services, but after Sir Alex's move, I am definitely staying in Manchester until my contract expires in 2012.”

After securing Wigan's Antonio Valencia, Manchester United could now bolster their forward line with a move for £11m-rated Toulouse forward Andre-Pierre Gignac. Or it may be that Lyon's Karim Benzema is next on United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's list of priorities at Old Trafford, with the France international forward's team-mate Miralem Pjanic claiming a £38m move is in the offing.
