Goals from Gabriel Heinze, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the opening five and a half minutes put United in complete control.

However, Reading hit back through Dave Kitson, and a late Leroy Lita header set up a frantic finish during which Brynjar Gunnarsson struck the crossbar.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side picked up their third win in a week after victories against Lille and Fulham, but another ragged display had the Scotsman fuming.

So rattled were the Premiership leaders that they were forced to introduce Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo from the bench late on in an attempt to stem the tide of Reading attacks.

It was a far cry from the opening, which saw Heinze open the scoring within two minutes with a long-range effort that squirmed under the body of Adam Federici.

The Royals played so well in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, the  reserve goalkeeper's blunder was a shame, and within two minutes he was picking the ball out of his net again.

Andre Bikey failed to track a Saha run down the left channel, and the Frenchman powered a left-footed volley into the far corner from a tight angle.

Worse was to come for the hosts, when Solskjaer beat a non-existent offside trap, had an age to set himself, and shot into the left corner with the outside of his right foot.

Five minutes and 31 seconds were on the clock, and the mighty Manchester United were three up. Game over, surely?

Not so, as Reading gradually gained a foothold in the game and pulled one back through Kitson. Taking a leaf out of their hosts' book of defensive catastrophe, United left the striker completely unmarked to head in a flicked-on corner.

While the visitors had slipped into cruise control, Reading's industry was starting to reap rewards. Seol Ki-Hyeon and Steve Sidwell went close as they attempted to capitalise on Mancunian complacency.

Glen Little and Leroy Lita came off the bench and nearly won the game. Winger Little frightened the life out of Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown with his direct running, while Lita's pace caused similar problems.

The England U-21 man made it 3-2 six minutes from time, finding space and stooping to power a bullet header into the right corner of Edwin van der Sar's goal. While a rattled United side tried in vain to waste time, Reading poured forward. Gunnarsson took aim with an extravagant dipping shot in added time that twanged the crossbar with Van der Sar a spectator. But Steve Coppell's side fell just short, and were left to rue those opening minutes of madness.
