Manchester United last night lost in the Supercup against an organised and highly talented Zenit St. Petersburg side.

John O'Shea showed potential to be a brilliant player when he was lad, megging Luis Figo when he was at his best. He had surprisingly quick feet for a big lad and was confident on the ball.
