Manchester United are on fire at the moment. They have scored 4 goals in each of their last 4 games. They did it again today as they beat Middlesbrough 4-1.
Nani opened with an amazing 30 yard strike. Possibly the best goal he will score all season. However Aliadiere brought Middlesbrough back level within minutes to make it 1-1. A little after half an hour Nani was working hard again as he took the ball from Downing and played it through to Rooney, who smashed it in the back of the net.
After half time the Rooney-Tevez partnership produced its most precise and spectacular moment yet. Rooney drew the 3 defenders and back-heeled the ball into the space he created, where Tevez moved in and slotted in. Tevez then added his second on 85 minutes where the ball deflected off a dazed Mark Schwarzer.

Diogo Rincon got one back for Kiev from a headed corner when Utd lapsed for a second, but Ronaldo made it 3-1 on 41 minutes when he skillfully headed in.
Dynamo Kiev showed a more attacking ability in the 2nd half and made Utd’s defence work a bit. However Ronaldo made it 4-1 from the spot after Goran Gavrancic handballed in the area.

Rooney scored 2 goals and had a penalty saved as Man Utd eased past Villa. Gabriel Agbonlahor scored early on with a header and this really set Utd going. They could have had at least 8 goals in a game that saw Nigel Reo-Coker and Scott Carson sent of within 6 minutes of each other after the hour mark.
Ronaldo who was rested after the International break came on for Giggs at 76 minutes.
Taylor who was subbed on to replaced the sent-off Scott Carson, made a series of exellent saves to save further embarrassment for Villa. He also denied Rooney his hattrick within seconds of coming on, saving the penalty that Carson gave away by bringing down Tevez.
