Manchester United went to the top of the league and banged in four goals again to crush Middlesbrough at Old Trafford. The team are really beginning to gel and the confidence is very high. Up front Rooney and Tevez are forming a great partnership and the goals are flowing,

  • Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Quieroz said after the win
    "Boro made it difficult for us, they came back well to make it 1-1. We expect to start the game with a lot of quality and enthusiasm, and usually when we do that the game becomes easier. That was not the case today. But we regained out composure, first touch and movement and we started to control things and deserved the win."
