Manchester United Falls to Zenit St. Petersburg in Super Cup Action

 
Sir Alex Ferguson started seven men who took home the UEFA Champions League trophy last May but still came up short against the determined Russian side in Super Cup action this weekend. Zenit also played seven from last May’s starting XI that dispatched Rangers 2-0 in the UEFA Cup.  Zenit St. Petersburg did have the advantage of being in better shape.
