PARK: NO MORE SHOCK RESULTS, PLEASE

The current league campaign has thrown up plenty of surprises - and not just for United. But Ji-sung Park is hoping for no more upsets, and says concentration and focus are the buzzwords ahead of Wigan Athletic’s visit to Old Trafford.

United have won 11 games out of 11 against Wigan and scored a whopping 35 goals in the process. But the topsy-turvy nature of the 2010/11 campaign means the Reds simply cannot afford to take anything for granted.

“There have been so many surprise results in the league this season that, to underestimate Wigan, would be very dangerous,” he tells United Review . “They’ve had an up-and-down season so far, but that’s exactly why we need to prepare well and focus on the game. We’ve had plenty of warning signs already so we need to concentrate and not think to ourselves that this is an easy three points.”

That said, this weekend must be seen as an opportunity for United to crank up the pressure on second-placed Arsenal - they're playing Tottenham this weekend - and league leaders Chelsea who travel to Birmingham.

“We’re only three points behind Chelsea, so that’s a real positive," adds Ji. "We know we’re capable of going on a winning run.”

QUICKFIRE QUESTIONS: NANI

The Reds winger - 24 this week - gives us an insight into his life off the pitch... 

What’s your favourite TV programme?
In England, it’s The X Factor . In Portugal, I like our soaps. They’re not like the English soaps, like Coronation Street and Eastenders. They’re more like comedies.

What do you miss most about home?
My mum and my family.

Can you cook?
Yes, I like Portuguese food. My favourite dish is feijoada (stew of beans with beef and pork). I have a machine in my house that does everything! It’s from Portugal, it’s called a Bimby. If you want to make feijoada, they say put this ingredient in, then half an hour later put this in... and it does it for you. It’s nice.

What was the last book you read?
I've got Giggsy’s book (My Life, My Story) and I’ve been reading that.

Who’s your best friend at United?
I have lots of friends… the ones who speak Portuguese are all close, but I get on with the English-speaking lads too; Fletch, O’Shea and the younger lads especially. Rio is like one of the young lads - he likes to have a laugh.

If United got to the Champions League final and you only had one ticket to give away, who would get it?
[Laughs] Only one?! My mum.

BRILLIANT BEBE DOUBLE INSPIRES RESERVES
Barclays Premier Reserve League: United 3-1 Wigan

An outstanding pair of goals from Bebe helped United Reserves to notch an impressive victory over Wigan Athletic.

The Portuguese winger opened the scoring with a rocket in the fourth minute. Latching onto Will Keane’s flick-on, Bebe bundled his way through three challenges and smashed a brutal effort into the roof of the net from just inside the area.

Ben Amos assisted Bebe's scorching second goal. Missed by Wigan's Jordan Mustoe, the United goalkeeper's huge kick bounced and was dropping on the right-hand edge of the Latics’ area when Bebe unleashed an incredible volley which arced just inside the far post.

Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken of the raw talent which lurks inside the young Portuguese winger, and this volley was the most glaring example yet of the brilliance Bebe can call upon.

Bebe's team-mate Ryan Tunnicliffe told MUTV: "No-one really knows what Bebe can do yet - but he showed tonight [Thursday] what he's all about. In the warm up, he was hitting them and four out of five were going in the top corner. So we knew if he got a chance he was going to put it away."
