Nine weeks after being completely dominated in the Champions League final, Manchester United finally experienced the feeling of victory against Barcelona.

Michael Owen secured the victory fourteen minutes from time in front of a record 81,807 at FedEx Field in Washington, not long after Thiago Barca had drawn level with a wonderful curling strike.

Nani had put the men of Sir Alex Ferguson before the first half with a clear clip of Victor Valdes and Owen after collecting nice way said Tom Cleverley United ended their five-game U.S. tour with a record 100 %.

It has been suggested that the game was a sort of revenge mission to the Red Devils.

Ferguson was not possible since only three members held their line from that miserable night in May

With Pep Guardiola was more recognizable, with six players keep their seats, and three of the five people, including Lionel Messi, was not available due to its recent broadcast of the Copa America.

Wayne Rooney scored the goal for United at Wembley, and he should have put the Premier League champions in front when he met Nani low center at the near post, but pushed off.

Rafael was replaced by his twin brother Fabio after not recovering from a stroke sustained in a tackle on Seydou Keita crisp.

It does not interfere too much, though, and when Danny Welbeck collected possession just inside the Barcelona half, Nani time his run to perfection, sprinting across the top of the ball, then sending a shot to his feet Valdes .

Ibrahim Afellay could have done better than drag his shot across David de Gea goal after being set up for 10 minutes before the break.

In fact, De Gea was relatively unemployed in his first major appearance since his summer arrival £ 18 million to Atletico Madrid.

Of course, the sublime passing game, which is hypnotized by United Boat last two of three finals of the Champions League were missing.

Ferguson made three changes at halftime, in the process of final satisfaction of a trip to Rooney, who seems certain to have a more lasting impact than last season.

Nani has more to prove to Ferguson given the lack of cup final starting line-up and returned to the desired right role, seems to have decided to pay his disappointment.

Barca is a week behind in their preparations, but Thiago is a player who started the preseason form of theft.

Scorer of both goals alongside the Audi Cup-winning Bayern Monaco on Wednesday, the young midfielder is a class act.

No wonder why the questions are supposed Cesc Fabregas Barca, if they are so talented alternative to the main men.

And the goal that leveled the game 18 minutes from time was enchanting, magnificent curling shot with the outside of his right foot which gave no chance De Gea.

Penalties arise, but Owen had other ideas, beating Valdes in style after being sent through Cleverley.

The former England striker should have done a series of stop time, but raised by Gabriel Obertan borders wide door is empty.
