The pre-match hype had surrounded Paul Ince taking on his former side and Sir Alex Ferguson certainly had a surprise up his sleeve for the Rovers boss.
Wayne Rooney, taken off in midweek through injury, was in the starting lineup as the champions sought to take three points from Ewood Park for only the second time in eight visits.
Yet the visitors started sloppily and Rovers certainly had the better of the opening half an hour.
Whilst Vidic came close from a corner for United early on it was Matt Derbyshire who really should have opened the scoring.
Brett Emerton caught the United defence napping with an intelligent pass which Derbyshire ran onto before hitting a lot shot across the goalkeeper Van der Sar. The Dutchman could only parry his effort but fortunately for him Ferdinand was on hand to clear the danger ahead of the incoming Santa Cruz.
The chance sparked the champions who came close at the other end. Berbatov sliding in Darren Fletcher whose drilled shot across goal was inches wide.
As the visitors grew into the game a sense of foreboding began to fall around a rain-soaked Ewood Park.
Just before the half hour some slick passing by the Red Devils culminated in Berbatov squaring the ball to Giggs whose shot was fingertipped superbly onto the bar by goalkeeper Brown.
It was to prove only a momentary reprieve for Ince’s men however. Minutes later a short corner by United fell to Rooney whose cross to the far post was nodded in by Wes Brown.
His namesake in the Rovers goal howled his protests and replays showed Vidic jumping with the Blackburn keeper may have committed a foul but referee Steve Bennett waved the complaints away.
Yet from then on Ince could have few objections over the scoreline as United took full control. With ten minutes to go before half time Rooney had the chance to double his side’s lead after being put through in the area.
The England striker attemped to dink it over Brown but the goalkeeper recovered well to keep the deficit down to one.
Right on half time it was Ronaldo’s turn. Patrice Evra haring down the left wing found Ronaldo close to goal but the Portugese transpired to mis-hit his shot wide.
The second half became something of a procession for the visitors and with Santa Cruz hobbling off injured for the home side, the situation looked bleak.
It was to prove the case and just after the hour mark United doubled their lead. A break for United found Ronaldo running at Olsson on the right.
The Portuguese winger simply flew past the the left black and picked out Rooney who made no mistake firing it past Brown to give the champions a deserved 2-0 lead.
From then on it was simply a question of how many United might score as they completely dominated the game against a beleagured Rovers.
Rooney came close, dinking a lob over the bar before Berbatov was denied by the quick thinking of Brown, rushing out of his goal to deny the Bulgarian.
However, it was substitute Tevez who came the closest of all. The Argentinean firing a low shot against the post after being set up by Ronaldo.
In the end the champions failed to extend their lead but Ferguson will depart Ewood Park pleased with the performance and delighted with a rare three points snared from Blackburn, much to Ince’s dismay.

Setan Merah rebut kemenangan 2-0 atas BlacburnHasil sempurna didapat Manchester United dari lawatannya ke Blackburn Rovers. Lewat gol Wes Brown dan Wayne Rooney, The Red Devils memetik kemenangan 2-0.
Inilah kemenangan ketiga MU sepanjang musim ini di Premiership. Tambahan tiga poin yang membawa skuad besutan Sir Alex Ferguson melonjak lima peringkat ke posisi enam klasemen sementara dengan nilai 11.
Buat Blackburn kekalahan ini merupakan sebuah langkah mundur mengingat di dua pertandingan Liga Inggris sebelumnya mereka sukses menundukkan Fulham dan Newcastle United. Posisi skuad besutan Paul Ince di klasemen sementara pun turun satu anak tangga ke posisi sembilan dengan nilai delapan.
Jalannya Pertandingan
Peluang matang pertama dalam laga yang dilangsungkan di Edwood Park, Sabtu (4/10/2008) malam WIB tersebut baru datang di menit 16 dan mengarah ke gawang MU. Edwin van der Sar harus berjibaku mengamankan gawangnya dari sepakan keras Matt Derbyshire, bola yang tak sempurna diamankan kipper Belanda itu hampir saja disambar Roque Santa Cruz namun barisan belakang MU bergerak cepat membuangnya dari kotak penalti.
Di menit 20 Darren Fletcher membuang peluang membawa timnya unggul. Lolos dari jebakan offside dan tinggal berhadapan dengan kiper Jason Brown, bola yang diarahkan gelandang 24 tahun itu ke tiang jauh melenceng tipis dari bidang sasaran.
Sebuah peluang lain dimiliki MU melalui sepakan kaki kiri Ryan Giggs yang menerima umpan silang mendatar Dimitar Berbatov. Namun tak ada gol dari prosesi tersebut karena Jason Brown dengan gemilang menepis bola yang mengalir deras dan mengarah tepat ke gawangnya.
Namun semenit berselang gawang Blackburn akhirnya benar-benar jebol, adalah Wes Brown yang mencatatkan namanya di papan skor saat mengarahkan bola crossing dari sisi kiri ke dalam gawang dengan kepalanya. Gol ini diprotes kiper Jason Brown yang merasa dirinya dilanggar Nemanja Vidic saat berusaha menggapai bola silang tersebut.
Unggul satu gol membuat permainan MU lebih mengalir. Peluang lain pun didapat Rooney yang lolos dari jebakan offside, namun hingga turun minum skor 1-0 tak berubah karena sepakan Rooney terbaca dengan baik oleh kiper Jason Brown saat mereka berhadapan satu lawan satu.
Tak banyak peluang tercipta di menit-menit awal babak kedua. Peluang awal membobol gawang kembali dimiliki MU melalui Cristiano Ronaldo yang meneruskan umpan Berbatov, namun sepakan CR7 dari jarak sekitar 18 meter melebar.
Tim tamu akhirnya mampu menggandakan keunggulan di menit 63 melalui kerjasama yang terbangun dengan rapi. Diawali umpan Brown pada Ronaldo di sisi kanan, winger gesit itu memenangi adu sprint dengan bek lawan, umpan mendatarnya di dalam kotak penalti disambut Wayne Ronney dengan sepakan keras yang bersarang di pojok kanan atas gawang Blackburn.
Sepuluh menit berselang dua peluang lain dikreasikan MU. Namun keduanya gagal menambah jumlah gol: sepakan Rooney melayang tipis di atas mistar sementara tendangan Berbatov masih bisa diblok kipper Brown dengan kakinya.
Nyaris tak ada peluang matang dikreasikan skuad besutan Paul Ince dalam pertandingan babak kedua ini. Sementara MU terus menggedor pertahanan tuan rumah, termasuk tendangan melengkung Carlos Tevez di menit 86 yang cuma membentur tiang gawang.
Tak ada gol tambahan tercipta membuat pertandingan berakhir dengan skor 2-0 untuk keunggulan tim tamu.
