Vanchester Roonited

Match day 2 for the Champions League on 3/10/12. This time around the United players flew to Romania for their next match against CFR Cluj. As usual, the match was boring until Cluj gave us a heart attack by scored their first goal! The goal was wonderful, I have to admit... But I was pretty pissed! I mean, not again... United falling behind for the sixth time from all eight games if I'm not mistaken.

Also, as usual, who saved United from defeat if it's not the Master of Equalizer, Robin van Persie himself. This time around, Wayne Rooney assisted him. With Rooney's incredible free kick and RVP's header-shoulder, he equalizes, on the 29th minute to be exact. A really wonderful goal by RVP. It was lucky that the ball hit his shoulder. If not, it would go over and waste the only chance to score an equalizer for the team.

On the 49th minute, another goal by the same man. Assisted by the same man too! This time around, the goal was wonderful. Marvellous. It came off from the right side, with RVP flicked the ball using his ankle to score a brace. When I first saw the ball passed by Rooney I was about to cry since the passed was quite powerful, but as graceful as it is, RVP scored with pure professionalism in it.

Both goals and assists coming from these two best strikers in the Premier League. A mouth-watering partnership for us fan to watch, and finally we got to see them play for the whole game. They were deadly with the ball. They control the game. They can turn the game. They are the deadliest duo now and we Manchester United have them both. With these two in United, to win the title back from the noisy neighbour, Man City, is not a big issue.

At the end of the day, it was these two strikers that save Manchester United from another defeat. They call them Van Rooney (combination of Van Persie and Rooney), but I call them Vanchester Roonited! Glory Glory Man United!!
