In an interesting move, Sir Alex decided to start a group of players with mot much experience together. It turned out to be a bad move ending up with a 0-0 tie with Rangers.
Rangers decided from the beginning that they were happy with nothing but a draw. Their defense was like a brick wall for most of the game. The biggest problem for the Red Devils was that Berbatov was left off the roster for the first game to rest. He is their best player at dribbling in traffic in goal scoring opportunities. Hernandez did not look bad but is still learning to be the world class player that United need him to be in the future.
Rooney, was not able to get out of his scoring funk with the red of United on. The Devils shot 21 times in the game but only 3 were even on goal. It is the type of performance that United may live to regret on down the line with games versus Valencia coming up in the group stage. That first place position that is so important may be lost due to this conservative performance by the Devils.
