MACHESTER United ikicheza soka la hali ya juu, imeendeleza wimbi la ushindi katika mechi zake za kupasha moto baada ya kuitandika Valencia ya Hispania bao 2-1.

Shujaa asiyetarajiwa katika mchezo huo akawa ni Marouane Fellaini aliyeifungia United bao la ushindi katika dakika za majeruhi na kuifanya timu hiyo iwe imeshinda mechi zake zote (sita) za majaribio.

Fellaini aliyeingia dakika ya 76 kuchukua nafasi ya Hernandez akapata wasaa wa kucheza kwenye nafasi yake aliyoizoea (kiungo)  na kulishika ipasavyo dimba la kati.

Nyota huyo wa Ubelgiji alizunguka huko na kule akikota na kusambaza mipira kwa pasi za uhakika huku akionyesha pia uwezo mkuwa wa kubadilisha mwelekeo wa mchezo

Bao la kwanza la United lilifungwa na Fletcher katika dakika ya 49 hii ikiwa ni baada ya Rooney kukosa penalti kipindi cha kwanza.

Valencia walisawazisha ilipotimu dakika ya 57 kupitia kwa Rodrigo kabla ya Fellaini kuipatia ushindi United dakika ya 90+1.

Fellaini ambaye ndiyo alikuwa anacheza mchezo wake wa kwanza msimu huu, alipokea pasi ndefu ya beki kinda Blackett na kuutuliza mpira kifuani mbele ya kipa Alves kabla ya kuujaza wavuni kwa guu lake la kushoto.
