Manchester United 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

I watched the first half and it was so boring that I fell asleep during half time; so I don't really have much to say about that match. Seeing how terrible we were on the first half though, we need a creative player (Nani or Valencia, both injured) and someone who can control the game with his passing (ie Scholes).

But what I wanna talk about is this guy:

[Owen Hargreaves against Wolves, 11.06.10]

Sir Alex surprised everyone with the inclusion of Owen Hargreaves in the starting XI. He's been out for 2 years, made a little cameo in the middle and disappeared again. We were told that the treatment and rehabilitation for his knee injury have been completed and that he's almost fit; but a start was unexpected! But as always, after injuries that long, small little problems would come with the come back. I praise his spirit, that has gotten him this far and brought him back. But only 5 minutes into the match, his left hamstring failed him and he had to limp off the pitch. I still don't know if it's torn or just strained, but I really hope that it's not too serious and that he'll be back in the team soon. I remember his contribution to our 2007/2008 season, and he was a key figure in our winning the Champions League that season. The supporters are still here, Owen, waiting patiently for your comeback. Hopefully you're as patient as we are; we know this must be very hard on you!


Here's a tidbit form the match report:

Stack the odds however high you want, United will overcome them.

Shorn of several key players through illness and fronted by a well-drilled Wolverhampton Wanderers side, the Reds negated a disjointed display to take the spoils through Ji-sung Park's injury-time winner.

The Korean, whose first-half opener had been cancelled out by ex-Red Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, slotted inside Marcus Hahnemann's near post in the third of four added minutes to send Old Trafford wild and extend United's winning run to six games.
