Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 in the Cup competition.
The tactician opted for a youthful look at Old Trafford, sending out the likes of Robbie Brady, Ryan Tunnicliffe, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 made his first start in over a year and also wore the captain’s armband.
United far from their usual best, especially in the first half but managed to take lead through midfield maestro Anderson.
The Brazilian has endured a frustrating spell on the sidelines for the past few days, but reminded Ferguson that he still had the ability to influence proceedings with a brilliant effort.
Newcastle came out stronger after the break and leveled things with Papiss Cisse cementing his name on the score sheet. The Tyneside giants were determined to grind out a win, but the Reds confirmed their progression to the next round with Cleverley netting
the second.
Fergie’s troops held on for the remaining minutes and secured victory, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 relishing every bit of it.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International returned to the starting line-up after almost a month on the treatment table and was relieved to have survived the game without any additional injuries.
"Of course it was good to be back. It has been four weeks since I last played and I was delighted to be back out on the pitch playing. It was a good run-out so I'm delighted and hopefully there are a lot more games to come.”
"I feel good. It was my first game back after a few weeks and it was great to get the minutes under my belt and hopefully that will benefit me. It's great team spirit at this place and we're in a good place at the moment. Hopefully we can kick on after the
good games we've had over the last few weeks,” the front-man was quoted as saying.
