The national newspapers’ views on Norwich City’s 4-0 defeat at Manchester United.
Sunday Mirror: “The Japan international proved he is much more than an Old Trafford marketing gimmick with a glorious hat-trick in a pivotal period in United’s season.”
The Mail on Sunday: “United hardly broke sweat re-establishing their 15-point cushion at the top of the Premier League. Challengers Manchester City don’t play until Monday night.”
The Observer: “This was the “mundane” match Sir Alex Ferguson wanted put away professionally before Tuesday evening’s encounter with Real Madrid.”
The Sunday Telegraph: “United are still looking after business at home. It took a while to come together but when it did Norwich were swept away by a red tide masterminded by Rooney.”
The Independent: “If they (Norwich) had survived until half-time, perhaps they could have turned a screw themselves, in terms of frustrating the hosts.”

Well, at least the Independent was not completely dismissive of little ol` Naaridge, independent-spirited as the paper is. Totally wrong though! Only Chris Goreham in his Sunday-best Yellow & Green specs, or Divot at his most servile, would see, or profess to see, Norwich turning any sort of screw.
