Alex Ferguson has finally made a tactical substitution, but in somewhat surprising fashion, he has not used it to solidify his back line or bring in an extra midfielder. Instead, he’s swapped two strikers, keeping his formation but not exactly making a like for like switch. Dimitar Berbatov has come on for Javier Hernandez, which to many will beg the question, who in the world is Javier Hernandez? Of course, I speak of the one known to many as only Chicharito. Unfortunately, the little pea was fairly ineffective in this game.

Berbatov is great at playing up top by himself as a partner, and his technical skill and hold-up play are his best attributes when he isn’t playing selfishly, which happens from time to time. In this case, his job will probably be to help United keep the ball for as along as possible to minimize the possessions and scoring chances that Chelsea is able to create.
