Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased with their 4-0 win at Bolton Wanderers.

Ferguson rested Rooney and saw Dimitar Berbatov score twice, with Darron Gibson also chiming in.

However, United were indebted to Jlloyd Samuel, who inexplicably drove Ryan Giggs' low cross into his own net seven minutes before the break, the 11th own goal the Red Devils have profited from this season.

"Jlloyd cannot feel any worse," reflected Bolton boss Owen Coyle.

"Next time he may make a better decision. It was a nice ball in from Ryan Giggs but no more than that."

For United it was the perfect response to the seven goals Chelsea scored against Aston Villa earlier in the day, and sets up a mouthwatering clash next week, whether Vidic is available or not.

Ferguson said: "Chelsea scoring seven did not put any more pressure on but when you see that turnaround in goal difference in four days (11) it is a challenge.

"But if you put the gauntlet down, Manchester United will always accept it."
