LOL, ManU cheats but can't beat Zenit.

Tainted cup holders Manchester "diving" United was beaten by minnows Zenit St Petersburg for the Super Cup at Monaco's Stade Louis II on Friday.
Pavel Pogrebynak opened the scoring and Danny, who cost an astonishing £24million, extended the UEFA Cup winners' lead before Nemanja Vidic pulled a goal back by diving.
United's misery was completed late on when Paul Scholes was sent off for a second bookable offence after committing a deliberate handball in the area with United looking to draw level. It was his third handball in the game which sent him off!
Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez dive around but could not break down the Russian side, who sealed a memorable victory.
Former Rangers boss Advocaat has won widespread acclaim for the way he has transformed Zenit and turned them into winners.
Looks like in United cannot always kelong their way into every victory.
Wonder if their $$$ to buy Refs have dried up?

Actually, it's the fourth handball then Scholes got sent off not the third one.
