The first Manchester Derby of the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League season takes center stage as United take the short trip to the City of Manchester Stadium to take on their local-rival, City. From March 1, 1976 until August 31, 2008, a lot of casual football fans living outside of Manchester did not realize that there were two clubs that were competing for honors, but with all the noise from the money the Citizens have splashed, it is unavoidable that they will start making waves.

Wayne Rooney left for the Nike Headquarters in America on Saturday, which clearly suggests that his Manchester United career is still hanging in the balance. It has been well-documented that there is a virus going through the United squad, and it is very likely that the effected players are kept away from the rest of them to prevent it from becoming even worse.

The only pass that Edwin van der Sar seems to making these days is with the Manchester United supporters. It has never been a secret that Sir Alex Ferguson’s managerial achilles’ heel has always been with the goalkeeper position, and it seems to be rearing it’s ugly head again.

The main story coming out of Old Trafford today should have been the celebration of Sir Alex Ferguson’s 24th year in charge of Manchester United, but it took a very cold seat on the back burner. Ji-Sung Park’s valiant performance, which he scored two injury-time goals – one in each half – would have normally grabbed all of the headlines back pages as well.

Fittingly, a goal in second-half stoppage-time gave Manchester United a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton on Sir Alex Ferguson’s 24th anniversary as manager. Ji-Sung Park scored both of his goals in stoppage-time in each halves, which gave a virus-struck United team all three points against a very well-disciplined Wolverhampton team in the Barclays Premier League.

We all love children in one way or another, don’t we? To see these young rascals recreate some of the moments of football, that are admired or at least recognized by all football fans alike, with such precision is just incredible.
