All that double training Carlos Tevez says he hates so much; all the "shadow play" sessions with Roberto Mancini taking his players out, minus a ball, and arranging them into shapes in readiness for the next Premier League opposition – and yet still the most fundamental winning principle about Manchester United has not permeated the club who aspire to ascend above them.
A clue lay in Michael Owen's goal in last September's Old Trafford Manchester derby six mintues into added time, another in Wayne Rooney's late diving header which deprived Manchester City of a place in this year's Carling Cup final, and the latest came from the head from Paul Scholes, the oldest and one of the shortest players on the field, as Mancini was rather brutally reminded after he had sat down, stunned, for his post match conference. The secret is that United are never beaten.
