Our veteran winger,Ryan Giggs is running for Euro award this year.The way he has played past 10 games i think he wants to make sure that he ends himself as a true legend.
The list contains many big players including Ronaldo,Messi and Torres.Giggs joins the list with his team mates Rooney and Vidic.Giggs was last year’s PFA player of the season.
If he continues to drill more good games he sure stands the chance to finish in top 3.
No offenses but Spanish are more likely to winners for Ballon’ D’or this season.
Continue reading for the list.

The win defines our position in group and its pretty sure that we will end being the group leaders.

Well to start off,the fixture got me very exciting.Taking CSKA Moscow at their artificial pitch did get me on for the game.Well atleast i hoped the russians would do their part of homework.

By the first half,i was pretty sure United would be happy squaring points.Nobody was in mood to get things going.CSKA were prepared for draw and didn’t worry entering into our halves.
For major period of time,we were all sleepy and clumsy.Nani and Rafa both had pathetic night.They played selfish,made loads of error and still had time to complain about other during game.There was one more prick who turned my night wasted was Berbatov.Though he has some first class first touches and ability to hold ball,these attributes are useless if u dont run.His major period was passed for asking balls and looking for free men.There were times when he literally killed the game momentum to zero.Nothing exciting is being seen this season ahead.Owen too looks weak.He lacks alertness and Power to be a finisher.
It could have been a bored draw game,well it turned one if we clip those last 10 minutes.Good to see Scholes and Brown back in action.Anderson had pretty much average game like rest of the,/Gary Neville was nice to watch.His area was going well with crosses and quick through balls.
Nonetheless, u can’t go and watch game with just few pack of players performing.Majority didnt really bad and that made team look really bad.
My thoughts may sound were negative but that’s our present truth.We are not looking fearless.It’s all going through luck by these moments.Well our past victories have been these snatchy one goal win rather than a comfortable victory.
We are still missing elements that we had last season or even essence of Ronaldo’s attack.The strikers have now gone to our weaker attribute.We still have chance to improve a lot.
Or wait for this transfer season to get atleast a decent striker.
This week we are taking scousers!!

So the week is up for UFEA champions league.Last night we again saw the demolitions of Liverpool at hands of Lyon and it is proved that they can’t do shit without Torres and Gerrard.2 consecutive defeats for rafa.The form was temporary :)

However we are taking CSKA Moscow today in our group clash at Luzhniki Stadium.United are still without Rooney and Giggs is also likely to be out of squad.Vidic is back in team along with Ferdinand.
Owen and Berbatov are likely to manage their positions while Fletcher can be hopefully seen for today’s game.

Today’s plan be simple.Take attack for first half.Score as many goals as possible.Work out the other with substitutes.
Fergie will hopefully bring few of our reserves today.We can even start with one or 2 faces.Park is said to be travelling at Russia so we expect him too.
At present United are leading the group stage and hopefully we can come as winner.

Good Luck United !!

Well we made it back to top.The match was played on Saturday so making a preview would not be relevant.Well if looking at the team we had against Bolton the man to the positions were pretty much straight forward.Giggs on left,Valencia on right,Carrick and Anderson in middle.Rooney was left off with his injury so Owen and Berbatov were paired ahead.

We could have struggled less had we kept on capitalizing all the chances created in both times.Though we had early goals in first half,we failed to produce any real time attempts in second half and got us nerve endings.Bolton though came back with one goal,they were harmless during major period of time.An easy fixture for United and decent results.

Nevertheless,we had something different going with the blues and the other reds.Liverpool were brought down at stadium of light even after playing massive 7 minutes of extra time.Sunderland scored one of the most bizarre goal of season with Darren Bent’s foot and deflection from a balloon.The game was more than watching a movie,full of events and different actions.The game was worth seeing.Chelsea game was another one that turned out to be unexpected.Villa took the blues after suffering from first goal.Some how they too managed to beat the shit out of blues scoring 2 goals.The week has been going great for me in-terms of everything.

Well i m right now enjoying the times of Diwali in beautiful country of India!!

Manchester United 2-2 Sunderland

Sometimes its good to be cautious.United were going in great flow and Fergie had no reason to pull out this team.Well in my preview,my thoughts were more similar to what he attempted but there were few
points which were drop down by SAF.Fergie did what was expected and Sunderland came with a prepared plan.We weren’t in our most pitiful men but had night played like one.
First half simply was for Sunderland.8 minutes to the play and they were up with stupefying goal from Darren Bent.To be honest, it couldn’t have been stupefying had Foster been on his feet.a Ever Since Van De Sar’s injury,the goal difference for United has been necked down and it looks consistent that we are not going to be breaking into those series of Clean sheets we had last season.
Anyways,it took time for United to figure out it won’t be easy night if they don’t break their sweat from the very minute.United yelled out some passion and the game was looked now like a contest.There were moments when 19 men were playing at S’land’s bay and yet there wasn’t any “chances”.Nothing turned out amazing and Whistle blew up.

The second half looked more promising from United.The forwards started to bent more forward,the weaker soul was taken out and the attacking one was brought in.Probability of goal was increasing and finally the dead-lock was broken by the man who was running the most without ball.Berba scored with most charming of touches,a brilliant volley to level United.The goal looked so spectacular that he himself couldn’t stop laughing.He quickly returned to half line with ball and felt as if he had turned into a man.The act was so confident that it was looking that Berba would now turn into Berbatov for which
United had bought him.But sadly it wasn’t the case.Dreadful Berba was back and Sunderland were back too.

Malbroque rejoined Sunderland into the game by feeding K.Jones with a floated ball in no man’s land.Yea it was keeper’s land,the ball was in the penalty area!! and still he scored with ease.Foster again to be blamed for his poor positioning.Vida was there but he felt like a douche bag that bounced off Jones.Sunderland up and it had to be United now.
So what if that goal was scored.United have been in worse times and i knew we would come back.The hope wasn’t that strong but i was pretty optimistic for a goal.The time kept ticking and we kept trying.The hope was turning into despair And then Ferdinand happened.Not Rio but Anton.!!A Shot from Patrice Evra was deflected in by Anton Ferdinand from which even United strikers couldn’t have scored for.United got leveled and Old Trafford electrified.

Much could have happened after that but nothing encountered for remaining time.There were quick 4 corners taken in 4 minutes by United and all were matching to our day’s performance.The match got leveled for United against a team which we under estimated.
The Ref had a pathetic day but we can’t blame him.Yea he didn’t award us with the deserving free-kicks or even free-kicks which Sunderland didn’t deserve.He was just another small point to United’s defeat so it can’t be highlighted.
To be honest,this wasn’t the SAF at all.I know i m being harsh but there was no point being in comfort zone at this moment.He knew the international breaks were next and there was no chance to drop any of the best players.Giggs was left out,Owen was there and Carrick came in late.The best of resources were hold down and we got payed for that.

We are now at second spot and a good break.

Well i missed out my last game over here so i will get today’s game live for u guys.However,last encounter with Wolsburg was yet another good performance for United.Good to see our mid-fields back in action.Especially Carrick and Anderson.Ever since Ronaldo and Tevez departed lots of speculations were going on with our attacks and strike.But its seems that we have a strong mid-field for the team.
We are still suffering from absence of target man which Portuguese used to be or even consistent games from Micheal Owen.Sometimes it makes me feel that SAF is playing Berba just for sake of his transfer fee.There has never been any inspiring performance from his side till now and still we stick him on squad list.A good 10 game leave shall do him good.
For today’s game, we are taking on a weaker squad.Compared to United,the only thing what Sunderland has are its target men.Bent and Jones.We do have agile defense to cope up with but there have been lots of slumber time with United.O’Shea has been forever the laziest of all chaps,and these days our Mr reliable-Ferdinand has been out of actions.During these times,Evans and Brown should be brought back into squad.However for today it won’t matter if we stick with 4-4-2.

SAF should start getting at least 2-3 young players every now then in team for them to get into boots.Lets see if Macheda pops out or even Gibson shall do good.

I am predicting that there would be no change in table and United shall be on top of table for this coming week.
Enjoy the match !!!

Stoke 0 – Manchester United 2
Scorers
Manchester United: Berbatov (62), O’Shea (77)

My busy schedules kept me off from this wonderful game.However,I somehow managed my self with a copy of this game and damn,it was worth it.
Well if you are one of those fans who has watched almost all players present that night from their first United game it could be a relish how you see  your favorite player perform that night.
For first hour, it looked tragic how United players were working the game against the team who looked vulnerable for lots of time and we were going to settle for another one goal victory.Well yea victory was sure but could it be more than one goal.For that we were responsible  on few players.
Nani on lots of occasions was going selfish and Valencia kept spoiling at very last second of his tackle.The mid field was the power house of them.There was some brilliance working in middle from Scholey,Carrick and Fletcher.That was some where holding the team in their boots.Rooney was the only guy attacking first half but wasn’t great converting on occasions.Our superiority wasn’t producing any goals until Ryan Giggs came into picture.

Watching the interesting setup during our last fixture,my confidence is back with Ferguson.I used to think he was working the same way what Rafa used to do with flipping players.
But Fergie has gone one step ahead.He’s back with picking correct men consistently.Well sometimes you might feel that we he doesn’t keep on sticking with Park when he’s in such great form or why doesn’t he allow Nani to continue together with Giggs.
The plan looks gibberish on papers but turns into a well strategy on grounds.
Today we are taking smaller opponent away at Britannia Stadium.I am seriously not aware with what kind of form stoke has been going this season,but nothing looks special from this club.The match will be interesting if we again pick young guns or even substitute all 3 with our reserve squad.
Rooney being in fantabalous form is sure to start for United.OWen should be promoted atleast for this game.Berbatov doesn’t seem to be the show starter guy for me,instead a super sub who could skillfully hold balls when required.
Its a league match so we can’t see any leaks in game.A much awaited solid game if our opponent turns out well.Or we can capitalize this moment with help of our form and get the goal difference to double figures.
The game starts at 1500 BST,so u can enjoy.
Also u can read here why nobody leaves their heart out of United .

Go United !!

Manchester United 1 – Wolves 0
Scorer
Manchester United: Welbeck (66)

Red Card: Fabio (30)

Team: Kuszczak, Evans, Brown, Neville, Fabio, Carrick, Gibson, Welbeck (King 81), Nani, Macheda (De Laet 30), Owen (Valencia 69)

As anticipated, a squad full of new faces arrived at Old trafford.Fergie new that he cannot afford to lose any of his valuable this season,so lead his first team to make up for the task.United’s future stars where brought replacing the olds ones.
OWen was presented with first team line up in the squad along side Macheda.
United’s first goal was scored by Welbeck with a neat one-two-one passing from OWen at around 60 minutes.The only goal scored for the night.Before that,United had gone to 10 men just after 30 minutes to the game,after Fabio was sent off for a reasonable offence.
Macheda was replaced for De laet to fill the boots of fabio.The later half was well managed by United lads.
Carrick and Gibson both turning reliable in mid-field was a good show to watch.Gibson seemed to have outclassed Carrick on many occassions.Nani also seems to have upgraded every since Ronaldo took off to Real.He still needs to be less edgy and try not to lose ball early in tackle.
Welbeck was another player who turned pretty well for night.Much maturity and responsibility was seen in his game.He could be now used more often rather than making him sit of bench.Valencia had last 20 minutes to play which was quite fair.No fancy work but good football played by him.
I was expecting more from Macheda but sadly he was replaced quickly.Brown and Neville both had a decent game.Evans and Evra both worked brilliant at back.Not to mention with poor quality by Wolves.
All in all a decent getaway game.I could have for more goals if we were with 11 men till 90 minutes.

Man Utd v.s Wolvehampton(Carling Cup)

With an epic match on saturday,United are going to enter the grounds with different men.Carling matches are no United area but we can play today with new faces.Big changes ahead will be seen for today’s game.Owen can be the possible starter along side a Berba or with in form Rooney.
No real threat-no real sweat play that we are going to see from this match.Only if Fergie doesnt take the fixture lightly,the match is a good morale booster.Foster can be taken out,so can be our long running defence.Wes Brown is expected to return so we can rest Vida or Evra along side.As such there has never been any problem with United’s defence,however Brown is a valuable addition for this year’s campagin.A
Nani should start long side with Carrick.Hargo’s presence can be delight me.It has been hell lot time since we last saw him on grounds.More from Berbatov can be atleast for this game.Owen today will be sure starter.His remarkable goal has shown Fergie more confidence in him.When he was bought i had a feeling that he can return back what he did best.Few goals from him can be expected.
All in all its an easy fixture if SAF doesn’t fail to look for right men.
Chelsea has been going lucky for long time,so we dare no lose this one.

Enjoy the game at 2000 BST!!

PS:- Oshea will make his 350th appearance and Giggs will score his 150th goal.
