They strolled to three points against Sheffield Wednesday at Old Trafford without even moving out of first gear. Wednesday were simply awful as United scored at will and if Alex Ferguson's side had really tried they might have repeated last season's 6-1 romp. The victory extends United's lead at the top of the FA Carling Premiership to four points, but perhaps more importantly it gave the treble-chasers the chance to switch back to cruise control after three games against Arsenal and Juventus played at full throttle. Ryan Giggs, Peter Schmeichel, Ronny Johnsen and Andy Cole were given the afternoon off, while David Beckham and Dwight Yorke put their feet up on the bench. They will have appreciated this breather ahead of the midweek titanic match in Turin against Juventus. But then the United stars who did play against the Owls hardly had to exert themselves. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Teddy Sheringham scored before the interval to reduce the game to a virtual practice match for the Reds. What little excitement there was came in the first half when, following a minute's silence to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, which was impeccably observed, Ferguson took the microphone and appealed to the United fans to get behind their team. Ferguson has been alarmed by the lack of atmosphere at Old Trafford in recent games and he implored them to make some noise. The supporters answered his rallying call and for the first 30 minutes or so they had a contest to watch. Roy Keane tested Pavel Srnicek from 30 yards out before the lively Benito Carbone forced a great save from Raimond van der Gouw when the Dutchman tipped his curling effort away for a corner. Two minutes later Carbone let rip with a dipping shot from outside the area, which dropped behind the United goal. Sheringham then forced a decent save from Srnicek from a free-kick 20 yards out before he went close again with a header. Paul Scholes, operating on the right in the absence of Beckham, was looking threatening and he sent in a decent header, which was turned away by Srnicek for a corner. United patiently kept probing at the Owls defence and on 34 minutes they made the breakthrough. Keane knocked Jesper Blomqvist's cross back for Sheringham to find Solskjaer with an overhead kick and the Norwegian made no mistake from eight yards out to score goal number 17 for the season. Incredibly, that killed the game as a contest and Solskjaer nearly had a second two minutes later only for Srnicek to save his shot on the greasy surface. Just before half-time United sealed victory when Solskjaer crossed for Sheringham to head home his third goal of the season and his first in the League since the opening day of the campaign. Solskjaer and Sheringham's goals also justified Ferguson's decision to stick with the pair because he claimed in his programme notes that Yorke and Cole were experiencing a ``flattening out period''. In the second half both sides went through the motions, although Wednesday struggled to do even that. They could barely move the ball out of their own half let alone mount a serious attack. Such was United's control that Phil Neville even got in on the fun from left back and he screwed a shot across the Owls goal. Then just as many fans were nodding off, Sheringham set up Scholes to fire home the third from just inside the area in the 62nd minute. That was the signal for Ferguson to bring off Jaap Stam and Keane for a well-earned rest and on came Jonathan Greening and David May, who was making his first League appearance of the season. With 15 minutes left, the industrious Blomqvist was also brought off to let Denis Irwin stretch his legs. That was more or less it and the remainder of the game was just as humiliating for Wednesday as the first part. Man United: Van Der Gouw, G. Neville, Stam (May, 63), Brown, P.

Gary Nevill talks candidly on his career Subject: Soccernet report LONDON, April 17 (Reuters) - Goals by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Teddy Sheringham and Paul Scholes gave Manchester United a comfortable 3-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday to open a four point lead at the top of the English premier league. United now have 67 points from 32 games. Arsenal, who play Wimbledon on Monday, and Chelsea, who host Leicester City on Sunday, both have 63. All three have played 32 games. Fourth placed Leeds United missed a chance to significantly close ground when they could only draw 1-1 at 10-man Charlton Athletic. Every match in the premier league was preceded by a scrupulously observed minute's silence in memory of the 96 fans who lost their lives in the Hillsborough disaster 10 years ago this week. Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson went on to the pitch to thank the 55,270 crowd for their behaviour and the team did their bit with an easy win. Ferguson rested several first-teamers ahead of next week's European Cup semifinal second leg at Juventus but his youth team would probably have overcome Wednesday. The visitors seemed more concerned about protecting their place at the top of the fair play league - and a possible back door entry to Europe - than winning the game and United took full advantage. Solskjaer reacted sharply to shoot them ahead after 35 minutes and then crossed for Sheringham to glance in a clever header just before halftime. Scholes shot in a deflected third in the 62nd minute and there was barely a tackle made in anger from then on. "After the efforts of last Wednesday you couldn't ask for more and it just showed the spirit that's in the whole squad," said Ferguson, in reference to the epic F.A. Cup game against Arsenal. "It's good for Teddy and Ole to get the goals, they will be confident of playing in any game now. "You have to look at the big picture. I've got to play my pool at this time of the season when the team is playing well." Ferguson said he was confident that Ryan Giggs would be available to play on Wednesday. "He's coming along and should be jogging tomorrow. But he's touch and go - hopefully he'll be fit," he said.

Gary Nevill talks candidly on his career Subject: No change - Schmeichel / BRING ON JUVE, ROARS FERGUSON No change - Schmeichel Peter Schmeichel says he is definitely leaving Manchester United after their treble bid, despite pleas from team-mates to reconsider. The giant Dane has been urged to rethink his decision to quit the Reds by England internationals Phil Neville and David Beckham. But the 35-year-old stopper said: "It is nice of David and Phil to plead with me to stay. But I have made up my mind to leave - there's nothing that can change that.'' ------------------------------------------------------------------- BREAKING NEWS - Saturday 17 April 1999 (Evening Edition) BRING ON JUVE, ROARS FERGUSON Alex Ferguson is in confident mood ahead of Wednesday's Champions' Cup clash with Juventus following their sweeping victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Old Trafford. United won 3-0, recording one of their easiest triumphs for years, and extending their Premiership lead to four points. However what really pleased Ferguson was that his team came through unscathed and that Ryan Giggs is his only injury worry ahead of the trip to Turin. United drew 1-1 in the semi-final first leg at Old Trafford, but Ferguson said: "My confidence is strengthened by the way we are playing. "There is plenty of evidence from that we can get through all right. "What we need is a marvellous performance from my team and they will probably have to hit the heights, but then they are doing that quite regularly at the moment. "But we know it will be a difficult game and Juventus had a fantastic result, beating Lazio 3-1." Giggs is due to resume training on Sunday following his ankle injury and Ferguson revealed that Andy Cole has recovered from his ankle knock and Peter Schmeichel his groin problem. "Schmeichel and Cole should be fit and we are just waiting on Giggs," said Ferguson. "He has a bit of pain at the moment but he was walking without crutches and we hope to get a bit of jogging out of him tomorrow although he is doubtful."
