FA Youth Cup Final First Leg 17/05/2011



In front of Bramall Lane's biggest crowd of the season, United's Youth team put on a great performance, and were unlucky to come away with only a 2-2 draw. United were well organised and played some very impressive football, Paul Pogba was eye catching and a revelation in the centre of midfield alongside Ryan Tunnicliffe.

Wigan 20/11/10



Rooney's Return. A warm but conditional welcome for Wayne Rooney following his controversial and very public contract negotiations. A poor first half was saved just before the break by a rare Patrice Evra goal. When Rooney came on in a double substitution with Paul Scholes in the second half, United went on the front foot. This was more to do with Paul Scholes's presence combined with Wigan having two sent off in a matter of minutes. Hernandez sneaked on the pitch as a later sub almost unnoticed and rose to head in a second goal from a great cross from Rafael. Considering all the fuss around Rooney, it was these two young players who showed skill and determination.

Spurs 30/10/10



Very good game of football by two very attractive teams. Spurs look good in all positions and United started to look assured and solid for the first time this season. Nani was the biggest threat and the main talking point. He was busy the whole match, setting up Vidic's header, plenty of penetrating runs and the cheeky tap in goal certainly got tongues wagging. It happened right in front of me, and while I have the perfect angle for most of the drama, for the actual tap in itself, I was looking the other way. Such is life.

West Brom 16/10/10



Javier Hernandez's first start in the Premier League at Old Trafford. He got down on his knees to prayer before the kick off. It must have worked, he scored within five minutes. He perhaps should have got down to prayer before the start of the second half too.

Liverpool 19/09/10



Dimitar Berbatov's hat-trick was the star of the show in a 3-2 win for United. Berbatov's scissor-kick second goal and the unexpected comback from Liverpool made for a nail biting second half. Berbatov's winner ensured he is safely embeded in United folklore. All five goals feature in this six minute video.

Stoke City 09/05/2010


The final game of the season and the crescendo of the MUST campaign to drive the Glazers out. Old Trafford was swamped with Green and Gold and the whistles were blown on the Glazers tenure at the end of a comfortable 4-0 over Stoke City, but a disappointment as Chelsea were busy thumping Wigan 8-0 to take the league title. Giggs was regal in his performance on the day, sadly the one goal that I didn't capture was his.

Chesea 03/04/10


Footage from the Premiership clash with Chelsea. First time I've filmed a United loss. Didn't fancy looking through what I filmed. At least the footage makes the effort look better than it felt at the time.
