Stoke 2-1 Manchester United

A tough result today at a very windy Stoke City as United fall 2-1. It is getting really hard to see us still making top 4 with Liverpool given the chance to go 9 points clear in fourth. In a game that United dominated the possession, Stoke still managed to get a 2 goals from Charlie Adam, both of which left De Gea with nothing else he could have done to try keep them out.
Van Persie equalized after Mata played a very nice through ball (goal below), but it was cancelled out shortly after by Charlie Adam's second goal. And to make matters worse, Evans and Jones went off injured, causing Carrick to be forced into defense, with Rooney and Cleverley controlling the midfield.
It was a tough result, but with Fulham coming up next, United needs to bounce back right away before the big clash against Arsenal.
