Nemanja Vidic scored in injury time to salvage a scrappy victory as United stuggled against a determined Sunderand side.  Sunderland came in to Old Trafford managerless after Roy Keane’s departure mid-week and were subject to heavy pressure throughout the match.  United however, never really got a clean look at Marton Fulop’s goal, and had to wait until the 92nd minute before Vidic saved their blushes.

United, frustrated by the visitors defensive tactics, took a blow when Cristiano Ronaldo was forced off early in the second half with what looked to be a hip injury.  Ronaldo had struggled to get a grip on the game as Sunderland employed a double-team strategy against him.  Ronaldo walked off under his own power but appeared to be in some discomfort as he requested his own exit.

United’s winner came from an unlikey source as makeshift center-forward Nemanja Vidic found himself in the right place as Michael Carrick’s long drive cannoned back off the post.  The Old trafford crowd that had been restless for much of the game erupted in relief as United kept themselves within touching distance of Liverpool at the summit of the premiership.
