Manchester Diving United draw 0-0 with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
Alex Ferguson will be left rueing his decision to start the game with top goalscorer Dimitar Berbatov on the bench. The decision seemed all the more inexplicable given the lack of Wayne Rooney in United's matchday squad.
When the game got underway it was Sunderland who enjoyed much the better of the first 45 minutes, with Steed Malbranque guilty of a woeful miss from ten yards. Boudewijn Zenden came even closer with a 20-yard strike that clattered an upright, while Darren Bent saw a shot turned off the line by Nemanja Vidic.
Ferguson introduced Berbatov at the break in place of Owen and the Bulgarian can only dive but found no goal.
If any side deserved victory it was Sunderland as the game finished goalless.
W/O their main diver Rooney, ManU looked like shit!
Even i think i'll scored if put in Berbatov position.
Wonder if ref did help to maintain ManU clean sheet again?
