United manager satisfied following Sunderland draw.

Sir Alex Ferguson declared himself satisfied with Manchester United's goalless draw against Sunderland following an improved defensive performance.

The Red Devils may have failed to win on the road for a fourth consecutive Premier League away game, but Ferguson preferred to take the positives.

Whereas United's previous three matches on the road this season have seen them score seven goals and concede seven in total, the trip to the Stadium of Light ended in stalemate.

Sunderland dominated for long periods, especially in the first half, and Ferguson was delighted to keep a clean sheet.

He told Sky Sports: "I think you've got to give Sunderland credit, their home record this season is fantastic.

"We've had to defend really well and that is the pleasing thing for me. The back four were fantastic."

Consistency

Reflecting on United's lack of an away win, Ferguson added: "I think we have had difficult games away from home but the consistency of not losing is something we can take.

"The most important thing from today was not losing a goal, because that is the area we have been weak.

"I am satisfied."

Ferguson rejected suggestions that United might have been suffering from a European hangover, having travelled to Spain to beat Valencia 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

"It is always more difficult for teams that play in Europe during the week but we have experienced that many times," he explained.

Sunderland vs Manchester United, Player Rating
MEN



Edwin van der Sar - 7
Early key moment in one versus one with Malbranque and stood up to the test

Rafael - 6
Didn't really get going as an attacking force. Caught out a couple of times defending

Rio Ferdinand - 8
Top man again. He steadied United's back line and frustrated Sunderland

Nemanja Vidic - 7
Looked a shade uneasy against Bent early on but became dominant force

John O'Shea - 7
His steadiest display of the season after finding himself under fire at times

Darren Fletcher - 5
Can never question his effort but he never got on top of midifled battle

Paul Scholes - 6
Nowhere near his most influential but was best in Reds engine room

Anderson - 5
Was pretty much dominated by Cattermole

Nani - 6
Most likely United man to break deadlock but not that many chances

Federico Macheda - 5
The Italian youngster was match winning hero on Wearside two seasons ago but never got close this time

Michael Owen - 5
Never really looked like he was going to have a great impact on the game


Substitutes

Dimitar Berbatov - 6
(for Owen, 46) missed a golden chance

Javier Hernandez - 6
(for Macheda, 64) livened up the attack

Bebe - 6
(for Anderson (80) little time to make an impact

[ferly_Liemz]

Hummm gw fans sih,mw tuh game boring atau apa,buat gw tetep aja menarik sih... Jd jgn lah krn statistik united ga gt bgs di suatu game lalu kita blg united mainnya gak menarik...dan bila united menang besar dan juara lalu kita dgn sangat lebay teriak glory2 dsbnya...

Apa yg gw post sebelumnya itu adalah wujud kekecewaan yg gw ungkapkan dlm kritikan..krn yg qt bs lakukan sebagai fans ya suport dan memberi kritik serta pujian dlm situasi yg tepat...

Mknya gw justru kadang ke pikir, bila united dan liverpool berganti posisi,apakah kita semua masih teriak glory.united...dan apakah forum ini msh tetep rame hehehehe

So plis lah bro andi,jgn lah gunakan kata menarik atau tidak menarik dlm menilai united bermain,lbh baik membahas bagaimana united seharusnya bermain,kan biasanya bro andi punya banyak ide2 cemerlang hehehehehe
