Manchester United claim 1-0 win over Pompey
Monday, 25 August 08, 10:39 PM
While the goal itself was not pretty in Manchester United’s 1-0 victory away from home, it was a result they certainly deserved thanks to a game full of impressive possession.
Still missing Cristiano Ronaldo and his more vertical, pace-filled runs down the field, the Reds hounded Pompey out of possession in the midfield and let their backs run freely down the flanks while Carlos Tevez hung back and controlled possession above the box. Tevez looked strong on the ball in his first game of the season, although at times he was more content to dance around instead of making a hard cut and putting some more pressure on David James in goal.
Portsmouth is going to have a rough night of sleep, and their dreams are most likely going to include Wes Brown and Patrice Evra streaking down the wings with the ball…again…and again…and again.
