United couldn’t have asked for an easier first half, Sunderland offered nothing to the game in an attacking sense and it seemed like sooner or later United would find the net. The Black Cats finally succumbed to the pressure in the 27th minute, when Robin van Persie’s deflected shot found its way into the back of the net.
Michael Carrick’s passing was a joy to watch throughout, as was Shinji Kagawa’s first half performance, who shown when played in his favoured position he has an awful lot to offer.
