Did Alex Ferguson get it right at Aldershot?
Posted Wednesday, October 26, 2011 by The Sun
ALL CHANGE ... for Utd boss Ferguson
SELECTION
RESTED his key men but took no chances.
With Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov picked it was clear Fergie did not want any more embarrassment following the 6-1 defeat to Man City.
Nemanja Vidic showed them what they were missing Sunday.
SORTED? YES
ATTITUDE
UNITED could have trotted out all the old excuses if they slipped up on this banana skin.
The dressing rooms were tiny, the minnows were too physical and there was a downpour just before kick-off. But they rolled their sleeves up and put in a professional performance.
SORTED? YES
SKILL
FERGIE'S mega-money signings had too much for Aldershot, whose monthly wage bill would not cover Berbatov's salary.
But this was about digging in against a lower-league opponent.
There is still plenty to prove in the skill department before United can claim to be fixed.
SORTED? NO
TEAMWORK
NO problems for Fergie in this department.
Vidic was pulling the defence together and even Berbatov tracked back when United did not have the ball.
They looked to be working together well despite being humiliated at the weekend.
