Manchester United passed up the chance to move level with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table, drawing 0-0 with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.
With Chelsea set to take on Arsenal on Sunday, United had a real opportunity to apply pressure to the champions, but Sir Alex Ferguson will be left rueing his decision to start the game with top goalscorer Dimitar Berbatov on the bench. The decision seemed all the more inexplicable given the lack of Wayne Rooney in United's matchday squad.
Ferguson introduced Berbatov at the break in place of Owen, and the Bulgarian found the net instantly, only to be correctly flagged for offside. Berbatov threatened again as the clock ticked down, but if any side deserved victory it was Sunderland as the game finished goalless.
