All you could ask for last night, was for United to go all out for it from the word go, no just doing enough, which to be fair has helped us get where we are, champions for a twentieth title. The half time scoreline shows that this is just what they did, so though the second half tailed off a bit, I'm not grumbling.
Fergie picked a strong line up, though Ferdinand and Vidic were rested, Jones and Evans aren't bad back up. I was surprised to see Rooney in the centre of midfield again, I'm not sure if he really is going to drop back or Fergie is just giving him games before a summer sale. Once again Cleverley didn't start, though he hasn't been seen much of late, i thought he might get a game last night. Kagawa started in his best position, in the hole behind Van Persie and continued his recent pick up in form. In fact he should have capped it with a goal, but he missed the best chance of the second half when he blasted the ball over the bar, when he should have at least hit the target.
United started the game as they meant to go on, as the ball found Giggs on the left who crossed for Van Persie to blast the ball home after just a couple of minutes. Of course the game will be remembered for Van Persie's second which is definitely United's goal of the season and must be in with a shout of being the goal of the season. A brilliant Scholesesque cross field ball from Rooney found Van Persie who volleyed home brilliantly as the ball came over his shoulder, it was reminiscent of one he got for Arsenal last season, only better. The third once more came from a Giggs assist, as he was put through by Kagawa, he then unselfishly crossed for Van Persie to claim his hatrick. The barren spell is now well and truly behind him, it looks as if he may end the season as the league's top scorer after all.
The second half fizzled out by comparison as Villa to their credit, kept on coming forward in search of a goal. It's hard to see them going down on the evidence of last night. It looks as if this may be the season where Wigan finally don't manage to avoid the drop.
United still had good chances, Kagawa missed a great chance as mentioned earlier, Rooney missed another cracker as United tried in vain to get a fourth. Final mention goes to Valencia, who had his best game for ages, he wasn't back to his very best, but there was hints that he may yet recapture the form that we and he have yearned to see this season.
