THE 3,000 Wanderers fans loved their big day out at Old Trafford writes Chris Sudlow

And they made sure the opposition fans knew all about it.

After Michael Ricketts scored the sensational winner in one of the most famous victories in the club's history they chortled: "Can we play you every week."

United fans, like their team, had no answer!

Shot shy United finished a dismal week following their Champions League defeat at home to Deportivo La Coruna on the receiving end yet again.

It had all started so promisingly following Veron's superb free-kick strike.

But the failure to convert possession into scoring opportunites was there for all to see.

The half-time impression was that United would still win comfortably - if the wingers were given a chance.

But although Ryan Giggs and Luke Chadwick were finally moved off the bench it was the superb Gudni Bergsson and his fellow defenders who stole the show.
