Stunning strikes from Ashley Young and Patrice Evra
against Stoke set Manchester United up for a
Capital One Cup semi-final against Sunderland.
Rain hindered the flow of the first half, with play
temporarily suspended in the 29th minute because of
hail.
But then Young lit up the match with an unstoppable
shot from the edge of the box which gave United the
lead.
Evra then made sure of their place in the last four with
a rare curling right-footed effort.

used this competition to blood the squad’s youngsters.
But, unlike his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson, David
Moyes does not have two decades of unprecedented
success to cushion him from the criticisms which would
have come his way had his team lost this tie.
United’s inconsistency in the Premier League this
season, which has left them 10 points adrift of league
leaders Arsenal, combined with Moyes’s desire to
secure a first trophy of the new United era, meant it
was unsurprising the Scot selected a team full of
familiar names……….up united
