00:00In Manchester United's exciting season.

00:02There's a Manchester derby next weekend,

00:05a European Cup ordeal in Turkey before then,

00:07and today a visit from a bubbling Queen's Park Rangers.

00:11In Les Ferdinand, they have just the man to test the theory

00:14that United are short on cover at the centre of their defence.

00:18For the first time in 18 months, they're without Gary Pallister today.

00:21Mike Phelan, a midfield man by trade, comes in at right back.

00:25Paul Parker plays at the heart of the defence.

00:28But there's no doubting the depth of the rest of Alex Ferguson's squad.

00:31Parker, Paul Ince, Ryan Giggs and Eric Cantona

00:34all return today, fresh from a week off.

00:38Gerry Francis doesn't have quite the same depth,

00:41but he'd back his first choice 11 against anyone, and this is it.

00:44Ray Wilkins is fit for an Old Trafford return.

00:47Bradley Allen is scoring even more freely than Ferdinand at the moment.

00:50Stephen Lodge is in charge.

00:59It's the two form teams in the Premiership.

01:02It's the two leading scorers in the Premiership.

01:05It's the match of the day.

01:06He's given away tamely by Keane to Sinclair.

01:19That's good work by Ryan Giggs.

01:24Another little indication of how quickly he's growing up in the game.

01:27Martin Lodge, Ferdinand with some space.

01:43It's for him for Barker.

01:44Here's Ferdinand!

01:45Good save!

01:45Wow, he got hold of that, didn't he?

01:51In towards Ferdinand, great lead.

01:53Bradley Allen, 1-0.

01:56Less than eight minutes gone,

01:58and Queensborough Rangers take the lead at the Stretford end.

02:04And Bradley Allen is as hot as they come in the Premiership at the moment.

02:09Seven goals in his last five games.

02:11David Bardsley delivering a good cross.

02:16And look how Ferdinand gets off the ground.

02:19And Allen's a great technician in front of goal.

02:24Manchester United have only been behind in one other game here at Old Trafford this season.

02:29And that was against Gellert Tassere by Rangers' rearguard.

02:36Ryan Giggs will take the corner.

02:41In comes Ince.

02:43Real chance for Paul Ince.

02:46They will watch the wingers over here too.

02:50Long for Allen.

02:54They'll be a little disappointed with that.

02:56Giggs kicks to his right.

02:58Cantona looking only ahead for himself.

03:00Good challenge by Sinclair.

03:02Giggs has got it back though.

03:05A little misunderstanding.

03:06And it's Queen's Park Rangers' turn to break with Bradley Allen.

03:16He is a great calming influence, Wilkins.

03:19Wilson hung up for Ferdinand.

03:21And look at the jump again.

03:23Oh, he's been penalised.

03:24Oh, he hit the other post.

03:27Giggs.

03:28And it ran away from Keane.

03:30Sharp.

03:31Oh, what an escape for Queen's Park Rangers.

03:36Mark Hughes deserves something there.

03:39And Manchester United certainly did.

03:43It was classic Hughes the way that he used his body to make the space for that beautiful chip which struck one post.

03:52And somehow, Stayskull and his other post kept Manchester United at bay.

03:58Somehow.

04:01Manchester United backing off him and Ferdinand was only just offside.

04:08It's quite a combination that's building between Bradley Allen and Les Ferdinand.

04:14Free kick given.

04:21Manchester United's way.

04:25There's a lot of Eric Cantona to shift out of the way.

04:30Steve Bruce.

04:36Ryan Giggs.

04:37Slightly behind Cantona.

04:44Hughes.

04:45Peacock with a sharp challenge.

04:59Dare I say, the Manchester United fans have been a little spoilt here at Old Trafford this season.

05:04And they've shared the players' frustration.

05:05Along with Alex Ferguson.

05:08At that deficit from as early as the eighth minute via Bradley Allen's goal.

05:13Manchester United.

05:14Run for Cantona.

05:15And McDonald couldn't clear it.

05:17And here's Eric Cantona.

05:18Good save by Jan Stayskull.

05:21And a corner kick.

05:24Clearest chance so far for Manchester United.

05:28You'd back Cantona in those situations.

05:32But Stayskull's in good form.

05:33Flicked on again by Cantona away by Barsley.

05:39Ince on the volley.

05:43Didn't miss by much.

05:45And there would have been nothing anybody could have done to have stopped it.

05:48For Aka from Ince.

05:55Oh!

05:57The reaction of the fans behind the goal said it all.

06:01So close.

06:02They're difficult to resist when their minds are on the job.

06:14They look a little bit more business-like in the second half.

06:18Cuse.

06:20Keane's made a great run.

06:21It's come to him off Barker.

06:22Now is he impeding.

06:24Referee had a good view.

06:25Inpey got it clear.

06:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

06:27CANTon ar to Ince.

06:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

06:36Taking the bypass round MacDonald.

06:41Look at Ginkse in space to his right.

06:43CANTONAR goes in alone.

06:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

06:45It was a pretty good decision, too.

06:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

06:48And just when you need something special from somebody special,

06:54Eric Cantona provides it.

06:58Eight minutes to the second half gone,

07:00and Manchester United are on terms.

07:03And if that hadn't hit the back of the net,

07:04he'd have been hearing from Ryan Giggs, who was in a great position,

07:07but it did hit the back of the net.

07:09Cantona knew just what he was doing.

07:13And he has both the confidence and the technique

07:15to put it off just inside the post.

07:181-1.

07:24Eight minutes into the first half, Bradley Allen.

07:28Sharpe's made a great run into the centre.

07:30Good control too, not a bad volley.

07:32And Staseko just gathers it.

07:37It's a different Manchester United now,

07:40and it's a different story.

07:44Lee Sharpe, who's season has been bulging with goals,

07:47almost got another.

07:48Ince.

07:50Giggs.

07:54Given away by Barker very cheaply.

07:57Hughes.

07:58Ince.

07:59Giggs.

08:00Ince.

08:03It was Barker on the floor, who finally hooked it away.

08:05Irwin.

08:07Irwin.

08:08Sharp.

08:09Keane.

08:10In goes Giggs.

08:11It's lovely stuff.

08:13It's a corner kick.

08:20Wave after wave of Manchester United attack.

08:23lapping against the Queen's Park Raiders penalty area now.

08:29In goes Keane.

08:30In goes Keane.

08:34In goes Hughes.

08:35It was inevitable.

08:39Two goals inside five minutes have changed the game.

08:47Mark Hughes puts Manchester United into the lead.

08:50But the Queen's Park Raiders have been rocking since the equaliser.

08:57Pressure, pressure, pressure.

08:58And eventually, it pays off with Mark Hughes' eighth goal of the season.

09:04Oh, I think more than anything, Alex Ferguson is demanding concentration from his team now.

09:13They have on one or two occasions this season become almost a little too careless when they get the bit between their teeth like this.

09:20But it's so good to watch.

09:22Another corner.

09:24I have goal written all over it.

09:28It's left its mark on the left-hand post.

09:31But not on the score sheet.

09:34And Steve Bruce, who scored over 100 goals, an amazing total during his career as a centre-back.

09:40Almost adding to that impressive tally.

09:44McDonald, behind you.

09:45And Paul Parker was crouching down, he couldn't see him.

09:51Giggs.

09:54Steli goes on.

09:56Look at the men to his right.

09:58Sharp and Cantona are in the clear.

10:00It's Sharp.

10:07Running against Barsley.

10:09Cantona is sole supporter for the moment.

10:12Keane now arriving.

10:15Sharp.

10:20Comfortable header for McDonald, but straight to Hughes.

10:23Mark Hughes.

10:29In towards Sharp.

10:32Yes, couldn't quite stretch and hook it in.

10:36But they've made another successful defence.

10:40Another main contender hits the canvas.

10:43And you begin to wonder if anybody can stop Manchester United.

10:46Eric Cantona's equaliser, followed by Mark Hughes' winner.

10:50Both in five heady minutes early in the second half.

10:54Did the trick.

10:55After Queen's Park Rangers have posed a real problem for them.

10:59Rangers' first defeat for six weeks.

11:01Means Manchester United remain the undisputed masters of English football.

11:06They'll leave for Turkey on Monday.

11:07In the right mood to continue their conquest of European football.

11:11Well, for three weeks.

11:13Boom.

11:13Come in.

11:14Go ahead.

11:15Run it on Monday.

11:16Time for Michael.

11:20Go ahead.

11:20Go.
