Manchester United vs Wigan Athletic Highlights

Wayne Rooney return could not have returned on a better day for Manchester United as Sir Alex Ferguson’s side took full advantage of their title rivals’ misfortunes. United brushed aside Wigan, who self-destructed in the second half with two unnecessary red cards, but perhaps more importantly Rooney made his first appearance since the contract saga that saw the England striker threaten to leave before signing a new five-year deal.

The setbacks suffered by Arsenal and Chelsea made it imperative that United did not slip up too and they made no mistakes as headers by Patrice Evra and Javier Hernandez ensured Ferguson’s men second spot in the Premier League table, behind leaders Chelsea only on goal difference. Rooney could have put the icing on the cake by scoring too but passed up a glorious opportunity.

Aston Villa vs Manchester United Highlights: EPL Highlights

Manchester United stretched their unbeaten run to 26 games as they launched a stunning comeback to rescue a point through goals by Federico Macheda and Nemanja Vidic after Aston Villa looked set for their first home win over the Red Devils in 15 years. Villa, without nine first team players through injury or illness, stunned United as Ashley Young and Marc Albrighton put them in command with only 15 minutes remaining. But United rallied through Macheda and skipper Vidic to maintain their unbeaten record this season.

However, they are still three points behind leaders Chelsea who have a game in hand against Sunderland.

Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur Highlights: EPL Highlights

A controversial late goal from Nani and a first-half header by Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic ensured that Tottenham continued their winless run at Old Trafford for 21 years. United captain Vidic opened the scoring with a header after 31 exciting minutes before Nani reacted quickly to some goalmouth confusion to prod home five minutes from time.

Spurs were furious with referee Mark Clattenburg for allowing the second goal, scored after goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes placed what he believed to be a dead ball. But they have themselves to blame for converting their chances.

Stoke City vs Manchester United Highlights: EPL Highlights

Wayne Rooney might be away on his 25th birthday, but the news of his new contract created some positive buzz at the Britannia Stadium as Manchester United’s faltering Premier League title challenge stuttered back into life. Rooney was persuaded this week that Sir Alex Ferguson’s men remain the team to beat, but an extraordinary few days at Old Trafford looked set for a miserable slump when Stoke substitute Tuncay hit a sublime 82nd-minute equaliser to cancel out Javier Hernandez’s first-half header. However, summer acquisition Hernandez found enough time to sweep in a stunning late winner which ended a long wait for an away league victory and closed the gap on leaders Chelsea to five points.
