But the $64,000 question: should he be playing for Manchester United at all, and what does it tell you — as if there were not enough evidence already — of the alarming phenomenon of rich English clubs purloining teenaged European stars? An analysis by Brian Glanville.
Sebastian Vettel springs a surpriseThe 21-year-old German not only defied the downpours to give Red Bull their first win in 74 attempts, but also led home a one-two for the team from Milton Keynes. By Maurice Hamilton.
