Scholes was back. Made an immediate impact with a beautiful chip, pass to Keno to set up goal 1#. Then Ruud took over scoring 3 goals. The goal celebration was a beauty for Ruud after his first he ran to the corner post and 3 or 4 united players pushed him, mocking Arsenal's less than professional behaviour last week.
All in all a warning to Arsenal and particuarly Chelsea that they aren't about to relenquish there corwn very easily.

True.

But note the difference that Scholes makes.

Scholes OUT and we have an awful 2-0 vs Charlton.

Scholes IN and the creativity comes back and we stroll past Leicester.

Forget the margins, United simply play better when Paul Scholes is on the field.

Exactly. Scholes got us going.

Darren Fletcher also had an encouraging debut.

Impressed with Fletcher, got a while to go though.

I thought John O'Shea had a good game, was also happy with how well Paul Scholes performed considering he had only just come back from injury (he cant have been 100% surely?).

Also happy with Djemba-Djemba, didn't even miss Keano when D2 replaced him.

I daresay that if it was Arsenal or one of the European giants, I'd rather have Keano on the field than Dx2.
Oh hell yeah, but we do play the likes of Leicester a lot more often that we do any of the European giants.
