Isn't it great to have "Van the Man" back in action?
We all saw the Southampton game on Saturday, the game where he returned.
And what a difference he made too!!
We were starting to look like our old selves again. :)
You must have noticed it??
How a player can come-back from an injury and give a performance as determined as that I do not know. Everything about his performance on Saturday finally told-me why we payed £19m for this guy, rather than go for a player like Ronaldo or Patrick Kluivert.
He may not have scored a single goal, and we may only have won the match by a superb Forlan strike, but his work-rate and will to help-others was phenomenal! How many times did he charge-inwards from the outside-edge of the box? How deadly were those balls when fired-into the danger area?
That's the kind-of striker out attack's been lacking!
And we need another one too.
Not just to partner him, but also to act as cover for him when he's out injured again.
I fear that if he misses too-many more games we will severely suffer in our chase for the Championship.
He's not JUST about goal, y'know! ;)
Oh, and it was good to see Giggs back too. But he still looks so-slow.

Yeah, Forlan's beneffited but you can't really say the team has! :)
I think that young Diego stands a good chance of finding himself a regular place alongside van Nistelrooy now, at least for the time-being.
And with van Nistelrooy out-and-about, Forlan's only gunna find the ball at his feet more-often with an actual strike-PARTNER rather than having Scholes or someone playing just-off-to-the-side of him.
Surely it can only get better now?

Personally, I think Forlan's benefitted greatly from his absence, and is starting to come into form himself. But yes, it's great to have him back in the team.
