Another Easy Win in Asia (Guangzhuo Yiyao 0 - Manchester United 3)

Thankfully the Asian tour is finally over. Quite frankly, against such meagre opponents, other than the financial gains, there's absolutely nothing to take in from a footballing perspective, except for injuries. The opposition is so weak that a team filled made up of mostly second stringers was enough to rake up a comfortable scoreline.

The goals were scored by Rooney (20'), Nani (42') and Martin (52'). The first half was a horrid affair. It was boring to say the least. The Chinese side had trouble getting their feet untangled while United looked uninterested, despite good performances from Martin, Nani, Carrick and Rooney. Rio and Vidic must have been bored to death and were mercifully replaced at half time.

Around the hour mark, Evra and Eagles came on to take their places at the wings and the game somehow sprung to life. United suddenly looks more menacing. Unfortunately they couldn't add to the 3-0 scoreline, but the game was certainly much easier on the eye. I'm going to find it hard to say this but, Evra looks really good on the left wing. Well, at least he's safer on the wings than in defence.

I suppose the only thing we can be certain from today's game is that Dong Fangzhuo is crap. He honestly is. Other than being a shirt seller and our token Chinese guy, he brings absolutely nothing to the team. He started today's game and was frankly abysmal. There was nothing to suggest he would ever break into the first team when competing with the likes of Rooney, Saha, Ole, Rossi and Smith. I'm sure after today's impotent performance (the lads did try their best to help him get his name on the scoresheet), he's going to be behind Frazier Campbell and even Febian Brandy from the youth team. If it's any consolation, at least he helps sell shirts to the millions of Chinese.
