Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men faced the Latics away from home last night but it proved to just one of those days when nothing goes right.

After the game, former Welsh International Ryan Giggs spoke to reporters and lamented his side’s display, which lacked creativity or penetration of any sort.
"We didn't perform. For a start, our normal passing game wasn't as fluent and we kept giving the ball away. Obviously, you've got to give credit to Wigan. They put us under a lot of pressure, especially early on and credit to them as well. They worked hard,
but that [being closed down] is something we come up against quite a bit, so it's not an excuse not to be able to handle that.”
"We just didn't keep the ball like Manchester United usually do. I think we only had one or two shots on goal and that's also disappointing, so we have to look at the game and work on it and get ready for Sunday,” he said.
United next take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday, While City play Norwich City.
