With only eight minutes left on the clock and the game heading for a draw, our favourite Serbian rose above the Everon defence to nod in the winner which keeps United in touch with the early season pacesetters. Ahead of a packed programme of games over the next few weeks a win was vital to keep the new momentum going - " One nil to the Champions! "

The next few days see the Reds travelling to Sporting on Wednesday and then the dark forces of Chelski arrive at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Whilst United left it late, this is a crucial three points against a strong Everton side and Sir Alex Ferguson's men are now starting to put a good run of form together.

Full Time - Everton 0-1 Manchester United
Attendance - 39,364

Manchester United: Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Silvestre (Nani 41), Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Evra, Giggs (Saha 63), Tevez, Nani (Pique 85).
