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.
