Perhaps now it can be seen as to why the United Reds have been branded one of the most talented and sophisticated lineups assembled to compete in the various European leagues. Most of the players have returned to their mother teams to get a crack at the Euro 2008 qualifiers and a lot of them have come from the United Reds lineup.

Among the names to be heard include that of Wes Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Alan Smith are among the top names being mentioned. A fifth player, Wayne Rooney was supposed to be included but is serving suspension.

Their next opponent is Brazil. While Brazil is not expected to be a pushover, the chemistry and alliance of these players who have been playing together under the United Reds is an advantage on its own. Once they take the field at Wembley Stadium, expect the games to rock along with the fans following them intently as the game kicks off.

For Sir Alex Ferguson, obtaining the Champions League Cup is the next stop for the United Reds. While they fell short due to injuries to a couple of their players, it is obvious that the team is headed in that direction and only time will tell. After talks of impending player transfers coming their way and leaving enough time for the healing period to its key players, it will be all systems go in the coming months as the United Reds will be once again in harness.

�

The Reds have proven to be a team to reckon with despite the various obstacles that the team has faced. Getting that far with what they have is an accomplishment that Ferguson has readily appreciated and lauded. One can just think of what would become of the Reds team once all players are up and about. A scary thought for their opponents and a wondrous one for Ferguson and company.

In the same way that Chelsea experienced the same ovation for their brave effort in 2005, the same was now in turn given to the United Reds in their 0-0 standoff with Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge Pitch. It is a fact that the Reds are ailing and paying tribute to the heroic efforts by the left players emphasizing on team play lead by Wes Brown, there is nothing better than to receive due recognition for the efforts of the remaining players of the powerhouse club.

Defense was the name of the game between the match of the Reds and Chelsea and this was typified as both failed to score a goal for the tight defense both teams applied. Chelsea had a change to score a goal in the end game, but thanks to the combined efforts of the Reds’ players, they were able to hold off any offensive from Chelsea.

“It was a difficult game for us,” he added. “Both sides didn’t play their strongest teams, but we have come out with a respectable draw.

“It was [a strange game]. There was a few lads in from the reserves and some players played out of position. We’ve not played together all season, so to come to Chelsea we had to play well. I thought we relly stuck together.

“Chelsea put a lot of pressure on us towards the end of the game. It looked like they might nick a goal at the end, but we managed to hold on and kept on defending.” –Wes Brown: Wes praises Blues gesture

After a forgetful loss to AC Milan, the Reds are back in harness with a much needed victory over the Manchester City. The United Reds defeated the Manchester City 1-0 courtesy of Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty goal.

It was a path towards the right direction as the painful loss had been a bitter pill to swallow for the powerhouse United Reds ball club. But in the same way that they have rebounded from various setbacks throughout, it was a good statement to prove that the Reds do have what it takes to recover lost ground especially in the ongoing Premiereship title.

Actually, the loss to AC Milan seemed to have awoken a sleeping giant beset by various issues and injuries and Manchester City was unfortunately in the way of the wrath of the Reds. Through the efforts of Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Carrick, the hard-earned victory is something to put them back on the right track and recover whatever loss they had encountered beforehand.

Many people know the impossible can happen, but even for this famous and decorated ball club, something has to give some time. Already beset with injuries to key players, the United Reds fell short of their goal as they bowed to the superior AC Milan 3-0 in the San Siro.

There was nothing really lost but pride since ordinarily, playing beyond the odds and reaching this stage of the tournament despite lack of player arsenal has been an overachievement in itself. As Sir Alex Ferguson put it:

“We gave away goals very cheaply and at this level you can’t do that. Credit to Milan though, they pressed us really well and were very well prepared. They were certainly sharper and quicker to the ball. They’ve been good winners.”

Truly, United may have played poorly, but credit this to fatigue and lack of player experience in tow. Whatever the excuse may be, it all stands that the United Reds have once again why they are among the elite ball clubs to grace the sport.

The combined efforts displayed by the severely depleted United Reds line-up justify the adage that a team game can be won without key players if they stick together. Such was the result of the Reds in their 4-1 victory over Waftord that pushed them to a seat in the FA Cup finals.

No other that Sir Alex Fergusson was there to commend the joint efforts of the ailing squad. Fergusson couldn�t ask for anything more thanks to the efforts of players Wes Brown, Gaby Heinze, Alan Smith and the outstanding plays of Wayne Rooney and hotshot Cristiano Ronaldo.

Displaying the courage and the fire of true warriors, the Reds bucked the odds of its ever growing list of injured players. It was a matter of heart and pride and this is sure to be a good momentum and motivation for the team going into the finals. Not to be forgotten as well is the overwhelming support of the United Reds fans that have been behind the back of the team despite the trying times that the team has had to weather in past weeks.

Everyone knows by know how soccer fans are very addicted and passionate to the sport. Too passionate as it has rubbed of and hurt innocent lives. Such was the picture at the experience of Manchester United fans after their favorite team�s match against Roma at the Olympic Stadium. Such was the horror of most fans who suffered a wild fan base that made their stay at the nation�s capital a forgettable one.

However, as it is now the turn of the United Manchester team to host, no other than Sir Alex Fergusson assured the safety of over 4,000 fans that will be on hand to watch the match. Although still upset over what transpired, Sir Fergusson assured the Roma fans safety in the next match which proves to be another exciting one. Hopefully, the United Manchester fans will support Sir Fergusson on his promise to spare innocent fans from getting caught in between the crossfire.

Just when everyone was ignoring the penalizations being given by the NBA on players lambasting the referees, the UEFA Champions League now has an issue of its own featuring Sir Alex Fergusson on some questionable officiating. Although nothing is certain, it is a given that Sir Alex Fergusson was indeed disappointed with the officiating and his verbal attacks against German referee Fandel. United eventually lost the match in Rome.

Sir Fergusson issued a statement wherein United was at a loss 12 to 10, obviously referring to the referees of the difference. Included in the possible disciplinary actions is that of defender Rio Ferdinand who branded the referee as �laughable, arrogant and ignorant�.

While the UEFA committee is still studying and gathering evidence and statements surrounding this issue, there will be penalties that will be handed in the coming days. Again, if Sir Fergusson were to speak, they are at a disadvantage. But then again, that is a different battle off the field.
