Man Utd 2 Sunderland 0..

Even after this, Sir Alex Ferguson might wonder if his players really do have the cojones to win this season’s title race.

He challenged them to demonstrate that they do ahead of this encounter, and they responded by teasing him with a perfectly competent, yet strangely tentative display.

Sure, they were terrific at times, performing with fluency and finesse and proving far too strong for a Sunderland team that struggled in the absence of seven players.

But that finesse too often lacked a finishing touch and Ferguson is sure to demand more.

The manager wants to see that they have ‘balls’, and yesterday at Old Trafford they seemed a little reluctant to show him. ‘They put the tools away in the second half,’ said Ferguson. ‘They were very economical, playing in third gear.’

It would help, of course, if Wayne Rooney could just remember how to score in open play.

Heading for a win: Bulgarian striker Berbatov gives United the perfect start with an early opener at Old Trafford

Dimitar Berbatov has now struck 13 times in 13 Barclays Premier League starts this season after two more here. But Rooney still has to think back to March since scoring from anywhere other than the penalty spot for Manchester United and this would have been a source of yet more frustration.

As Ferguson quite rightly pointed out, Rooney is at least playing well and the manner in which he combined with Berbatov is becoming a joy to watch.

His lofted delivery for Berbatov’s opening goal was fantastic and it was almost touching to see the Bulgarian doing his hardest to repay the favour. There is a mutual respect there that Ferguson could certainly liken to Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole..(continue)
