PREMIERSHIP UPDATE:

MAN UTD 1 - 1 READING.





Hoping to make amends for their loss at home to arsenal,manager Sir Alex was looking to set things back on track.A tough away match against new boys Reading was nothing short of disappointment for the men from old trafford.The match started of in a lively manner with man utd setting the tone as expected.They did everything right except find the back of the net.but reading were not to be written off.with grit,fervour,determination they fought back.The first half could have gone either way,but 0-0 was not a fair reflection of the performance of both the teams.

2 mins into the second half and reading find themselves 1 up.a ball truly meant to be cleared by rio ferdinand was missed completely.a poor and ball-blinded gary neville stuck his hand out only to give reading a penalty.but man utd fought back as always,pushed harder for the win.i thought neville and rooney had a bad game and should have done a lot better.from a presonal view point,i feel rooney has become predictable.his movements are well monitored and as a result,he finds himself well marked.ronaldo just needed a break from the left a truly wonderful goal was the result.

a lot of positives can be taken into confidence though.heinze and vidic are back.carrick had a good game and has settled down well as a defensive midfielder with occasional breaks into the channels.if they desire of lifting the premiership,they should make a few purchases when the transfer window opens in januray again,otherwise ,its chelsea all the way.
