Manchester United finally put in a very appetizing, table-topping performance, which completely knocked the stuffing out of a shell-shocked Blackburn Rovers team at Old Trafford. Following the Thanksgiving holiday, United indulged their adoring, but sometimes critical, supporters to their fill as the Reds put on a complete footballing feast for all to see against the visitors.

First, they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at home to vicious rivals, Spurs. Now, they’ve returned home from Portugal with their heads down and their Champions League future…
