Man Utd 1 Zenit St Petersburgh 2

[Beefy]

Manchester United's bid for European Super Cup glory ended in failure as Pavel Pogrebnyak and Danny goals earned Zenit St Petersburg a deserved win.

Fresher and more incisive throughout, Zenit took the lead when Pogrebnyak forced home a header from close range.

Playmaker Danny made it 2-0 with a fine solo goal on the hour, before Nemanja Vidic pulled one back from six yards.

It was too little too late, though, with Paul Scholes sent off late on in a lacklustre showing from United.

The midfielder saw red when he punched the ball into the net with only seconds left on the clock, earning himself a second booking and one-match European suspension that could see him sit out the Champions League group match against Villarreal.

It's surprising how many Man Utd players get sent off in games they're losing. Fergie should get a grip of his team

The bloke's just stupid.
He's like a baby throwing a bottle out his pram.
I caught the last 10 minutes of the game & United looked like they would take it into extra time seeing as they were dominating and there was more than enough added time for them to get an equaliser, but clearly, Scholes had already given up.
