^Ronaldo Celebrates after his goal^Sir Alex Ferguson had to make a rash decision just before the match as Berbatov was carried off in the warm up before the match but Berbatov is likely to be fit for the West Ham match. This led to Ferguson putting Ben Foster up front with Rooney and it became a very good decision. Also Rafael retained his place after a good job marking Robinho in the Manchester Derby.
This was a very tight match with United not carrying a big attacking threat because of the loss of Berbatov and no sub striker on the bench because of Tevez being injured as well.
Ronaldo came the closest in the first half from a free-kick on the edge of the box but the shot rebounded off the crossbar.
Man United upped the tempo in the second half and got their goal in the 67th minute Foster received the ball on the half way line and played a beautiful through ball to Ronaldo who dribbled into the box and slid the ball into the far corner.
They sealed the win the 82nd minute when Foster played a one-two with Rooney on the edge of the box and Rooney smashed it past Gomes
