Cristiano Ronaldos two first-half goals were enough to down Zola’s West Ham, dropping them to the bottom half of the English Premier League table.

United used this match to rest Van der Sar and give Kuszczak a spot in the starting eleven. South Americans Rafael Da Silva, Anderson, and Carlos Tevez were also included in the starting eleven. While Nani and Ronaldo secured the wings.

It only took 14 minutes for Ronaldo to sink his third goal of the season, as Nani served a brilliant ball from the left side. Ronaldo simply redirected it past the Hammers goalkeeper, Robert Green.

The 23-year-old FIFPro player of the year did it again on the half-hour mark, but it was the £30 million Bulgarian who made that goal. Berbatov chased a ball to the goal-line and with a dazzling 360 spin Berbatov lost his defender just inside the eighteen before rolling the ball back for Ronaldo at the top of the six. Only thing missing on that gift was a bow.

A much quieter second half saw Rooney and Carrick on for Nani and Fletcher. And although there were no goals in the second half United continued to dominate. With ten minutes remaining Sir Alex brought on Gary Neville for the young Rafael da Silva.

United, who still have a game in hand, are currently sixth in the Premier League but with United having found their form its only a matter of time before they are back on top of the table.

United has been great at home recently, scoring plenty of goals. 12 in the last 5 home game matches while only conceding 1.

Still no Hargreaves or Scholes in the midfield, but we still have Anderson, Fletcher and of course Giggs. Sir Alex also praised Fletcher prior to the match against West Ham. Ferguson claimed Fletcher is currently the best player at United. “He is outstanding in big games, when he always does such a great job.” “He has developed his game and taken it to a new level.”

Given Rooney’s current form, United should have no problem scoring today. I feel Tevez should be given a start, while Anderson covers for Scholes and Giggs plays his natural left wing position.

The Defense will work as long as Ferdinand and Vidic are fit. The right and left back positions seem have more depth.

I predict at least 3-0

“I would certainly love to extend my contract,” said Tevez. “I would go and sign right now if the opportunity was there.”  Carlos Tevez expressed his desire to sign a permanent deal with Manchester United. Tevez is currently on a two-year loan with United from MSI (Media Sports Investments) the very shady company owned by Kia Joorabchian. 

Should United give the Argentinean a permanent deal?

How stupid was Nani’s red card against West Ham? Well, the mistake will cost Nani £60,000 ($120,000) according to The Sun. Not to mention, missing the final game of the season, and most important Sir Alex’s trust! I can almost guarantee Nani will not play in the Champions League semi-final because Sir Alex can not trust him.
I think it’s only fair that players get fined for such actions.
