The 2008-2009 season kicked off with Manchester United clinching a shoot-out win over a rather unimpressive Portsmouth side. United were dominant throughout the game, but could not get the ball past keeper James without the 42-goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo. United have to come to terms with it, Rooney might not play the first few games, Ronaldo might not get to play 5-10 games. Giggs partnered Tevez in what was an aggressive but not-on-target strike force.
Time to wake up - Harry. Portsmouth’s much talked strike force of Defoe and Crouch, worth 18 million pounds could not even get a single attempt on target. United defense and midfield was right up to the expectation, but that does not offer any excuse for Defoe and Crouch. It will be a crucial season for the England strikers to prove their worth.
The game went into penalty shoot-out and 3 of the 4 Portsmouth players missed the target. It is the second successive Penalty shoot-out win for United after their victory over Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League final at Moscow.
Overall, a rather un-impressive start for both the teams.
