There were questions raised over Manchester United’s ability to compensate for Cristiano Ronaldo’s and Carlos Tevez’s absence this season, with critics especially pointing to United being unlikely to compensate for Ronaldo’s goals.
Those critics have been pretty much proven wrong this season, with United scoring as many goals at this stage as they had last season, with a number of players chipping in with more than their share of the goals from last year around.
Republik of Mancunia has the full stats – but essentially, United have scored 26 goals in the first 13 games this season, 1 more than at the same stage last year.
Problems? In defence, maybe, with all the injuries.
I love Ronaldo and would rather have him back, but there’s no doubting that this United side has the ability to deal with the loss of one (or two) players.

i think alex feguson should give obetan more paly time coz he is first and talented with the ball and can make does dangerous crosses i think he is the perfect replacement for christiano what do you think?
Obertan is a replacement for Giggs not Ronaldo, once valencia settles he will do just fine on the right, he has scored 4 goals already and in his 3yrs at Wigan he scored 7. We defo need to get everybody at the back fit because we are leaking far too many goals
Only 2 more goals conceded after 13 games this year compared to last, so despite all the injury problems there’s not that much difference.
