united need to win, cannot afford with another draw.

if tis one draw
i dun knw wad to say about man u -
I really don't know what to say about the referee. Apart from Otelul's constant pressing and persistant fouling, movement was missing on United's side yet again.
Red on Vidic was ridiculous, along with the yellow for Carrick's perfectly timed challenge. First time in many many many games Carrick has been impressive, I hope his form continues into the next game.Both penalties Rooney tucked away, obvious stupid penalties to give away really. Nani had a shot whizzing off the inside of the post.
To be honest, the way they played today, sure lose against City. I really have nothing else but worry for them this weekend. -
nah this weekend at old trafford is a different game. every player will be charged up 101% for the derby match. I am optimistic united to win city at old trafford and lead the standings.
city also doesnt fare better at home against villareal, needed 93rd min from kun to win the game.

Sir Alex: Patience was key
Sir Alex Ferguson says patience was pivotal in United’s 2-0 win over Otelul Galati in the UEFA Champions League.
The boss praised the performances of Nani, Anderson and Wayne Rooney in particular, after the latter converted two penalties to seal a hard-fought triumph in Romania.
"You have to work hard to get the victory in away games as it is not easy,” Sir Alex explained. “They (Galati) made it very difficult for us but we have possession figures to show we were in control of the game.
"In the second-half we improved a great deal. Nani’s performance was terrific, Rooney started to come into the game and Anderson was terrific too. I was satisfied with the result.
"It was a long night but we had to be patient to work through the game.We didn’t have enough penetration in the first-half as Rooney played more in midfield, but he moved further up the field in the second-half which created problems for them. He has great composure and he took his penalties well."
Sir Alex also revealed he is unlikely to appeal Nemanja Vidic’s straight red card against Galati, despite question marks being raised over the severity of the referee’s decision.
“He (Vidic) has raised his foot and in the context of a lot referee’s interpretations - particularly in Europe - you can see why he has given the red card. But it was very harsh.”
Victory in Bucharest moves United up to second in Group C, just two points behind leaders Benfica with three games remaining. This state of play means the Reds are in the driving seat, according to the boss.
“We won and that is the important thing. We have to do our job at Old Trafford, hopefully we can win beat Galati again which brings us to eight points and I’ve always said that 10 points gets you through.”
