There's really only one way to bounce back
If you had given Sir Alex Ferguson the choice of any result at Everton yesterday, a 1-0 win would have been the first thing out of his mouth.
More than 3-2, 4-3 or even 3-0, a 1-0 victory away from home epitomises what winning championships is all about.
Manchester United have bounced back from bad defeats before and responding after the derby humiliation with a clean sheet and a win, courtesy of a goal from Javier Hernandez, at a tough place like Everton is the perfect retort.
Take it from me, the manager will be absolutely delighted with that scoreline.
I was at a totally different game yesterday, watching Arsenal beat Chelsea 5-3 at Stamford Bridge.
It was a humdinger and summed up some of the crazy games between the top teams this season.
Proving a point: Javier Hernandez saw United take all three points
But I have played in games like that and even if you win and feel elated because of that, there is also part of you that knows not everything is right.
While Chelsea and Arsenal provided plenty of entertainment, United will not have swapped that scoreline for their own.
I was in United teams that suffered defeats like 6-3 at Southampton but regrouped to win Premier League titles.
That result at Everton is the perfect way of fighting back after the experience of losing so heavily to Manchester City.
