Silvestre can rest easy

MIKAEL SILVESTRE believes Manchester United’s under-pressure squad can put a few sleepless nights behind them now and make a final push for Premiership glory.

The French full-back rescued his team with a rare goal at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, nodding home 11 minutes from time to give United a vital 2-1 victory over Leeds.

As the home-side laboured in their search for a winner, it was a perfectly-timed strike, particularly as manager Alex Ferguson was about to haul him off.
