There were a lot of plus points but we lost Paul Scholes who could be out for a few weeks.
The midfielder left the pitch on a stretcher after 15 minutes and manager Alex Ferguson said Scholes's injury had marred an otherwise good night for the club.
"There were a lot of plus points but we lost Paul Scholes who could be out for a few weeks," Ferguson told United's website (www.manutd.com) which confirmed that Scholes could be out for two months.
The experienced former England playmaker missed three months of last season after undergoing knee surgery.
United, for whom new Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov scored twice to open his account for the club, also ended the game without striker Wayne Rooney who injured his ankle.
"Wayne felt a weakness in it when he went to receive a ball and we took him off straight away," Ferguson said. "So there was maybe a cost to pay for the victory."
United are away at Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League on Saturday.
