Berbatov scored a brace in Europe.
Nani’s 29th minute corner was eventually nudged goalward by John O’Shea. Berbatov’s finesse as he flicked home was devastating. The Bulgarian mixes panache and predatory skills and the latter was to the fore again as he nicked his second in the 51st minute. Cristiano Ronaldo’s thunderous free kick was too fierce for keeper Boruc to hold and Berbatov beat Wayne Rooney to snaffle the follow up.
The England hitman was again a driving force for the Reds and having been beaten by his strike colleague to the scraps for the second goal, then leathering a shot that was tipped over before having a goal wrongly ruled out for offside, you somehow knew Rooney wouldn’t leave Old Trafford last night without adding to his extraordinary recent run. His figures were increased to nine goals in seven matches for club and country when he drilled home in the 76th minute to finish off a swift United move that began with a Van der Sar quick roll out.
