Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased with a 3-0 win over Newcastle but rued Dimitar Berbatov's profligacy.
The Red Devils crushed Newcastle with strikes from Berbatov, Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs but Ferguson insisted his side should have won by a bigger margin.Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, he said: "We were a little bit wasteful, I think [Dimitar Berbatov] should have scored three or four but his performance was excellent."
However, the Scot was still pleased with a good start to this year's domestic campaign.
"I think the three points are always important in your first home match," he said.
"I think for most of the game we were in control, our passing was good at times and it was a steady performance."
The evergreen Paul Scholes had another fantastic display to inspire the Red Devils and Ferguson paid tribute to the 35-year-old.
"Last week again, he [Scholes] showed at his age, you don't lose what he's got. He has a marvellous passing range and vision of the game and he's still got the appetite," he added.
"Anyone who gets to his age and retains that, he and Ryan Giggs, you've got two players who are blessed with something special
"He looks after himself, another very important thing, last season was his first without injury for a long, long time. That's key to Paul, if he can stay fit he can play on."
