RVP puts icing on the cake

Manchester United 3 Aston Villa 0

It seems hard to believe it is only 11 months since Sergio Aguero scored a late, late goal against QPR which promised to turn the football hierarchy on its head; but any suggestion that the noisy neighbours would go on to start a dynasty of their own has already been firmly, perhaps even brutally, rebutted.

The pain of that day in May 2012 clearly lingers here in the red half of Manchester so regaining the title ‘loaned’ to their bitter rivals was sweet even for fans who have seen so many trophies and so many titles delivered by their heroes over the last 25 years.
