On paper this looked like it could have been another tough game. Bolton started the day in third, just 2 points behind United and unbeaten at home. They are also capable of taking points from any team on their day and are not to be taken lightly. United, however, made it look easy.
After waiting since the first day of the season for a Rooney goal, three came along at once. He had suffered a brief loss of form but had been improving with every game so it was only a matter of time before he got on the score sheet. Ronaldo also scored, returning to the side after recovering from flu.
This was probably the strongest XI United could field and the way in which they dominated for large spells and won by such a comfortable margin is very encouraging. Still top of the table after 10 games and 23 goals scored in the league. The only down side was Evra being stretchered off after a great start to the season.
Next up FC Copenhagen and a chance to qualify for the next stage of the Champions League.
