Despite playing less minutes than Lukaku, Ibra and Sanchez, Rashford is the leading scorer of not only the club but the Premier League aswell! It's also a credit to Mata's ability that he is still equal top of the assists chart with the little football he has played.

Youth Intake One: Class of 2018

Due to the fact that my posts are quite long I've decided to do a separate one for each season's youth intakes and highlight the players i think could one day make the first team squad.

Dean Church DC

View attachment 43326

Our most promising player from the intake. At only 15 he is younger than most of them and I could definitely see him in and around the first team before the age of 20.

Joel Grenier MC/AMC

View attachment 43325

Centre Midfielder Grenier has the work rate and determination to make it at the highest level.

Phil Smith AML

View attachment 43324

Despite being a natural in a position that doesn't fit our formation I believe with a bit of retraining as a striker Smith has the determination and flair to succeed. Plus a Welsh youth prospect that plays on the left wing at United cannot be ignored!

Overall I'm quite happy with our intake. Anytime we have three players who have a chance of making it into our squad from one year is good. Hopefully with the right training, tutoring and nurturing we have some homegrown talent to take the club forward for the next 15 years.​

Our striking options are once again put to the test as another player might have played his last for the season.

Better news here as our exploits have guaranteed another season in the Champions League which hasn't always been the case since Sir Alex retired.

Our second trophy of the season and its the big one we've been after since Sir Alex retired.

No title hangover here as Huddersfield are put to the sword. It was a real pleasure to give Michael Carrick the Old Trafford farewell he deserved, starting from the beginning in his last ever home game. He even managed to get a double along with the Man of the Match award!!! Zlatan continues his push for the Golden Boot with a double as well.

Sanchez and Mata To Miss FA Cup Final

View attachment 40171 View attachment 40170

A couple of big blows only a fortnight out from the FA Cup final as two more of my front three are missing. Depending on what happens between now and then we may have a very threadbare attacking lineup.

Greatest Aussie Manager of All Time!

FA Cup Final

Champions!!!! Even though we were playing an average Championship side i was always wary of the FM Gods throwing up an upset but it wasn't to be as we claim a treble that Mourinho would be proud of. Lingard rewarded my faith in him and continued his love affair with Wembley finals by claiming a goal but it was Tony Martial who takes the plaudits with two goals and an assist to be best on ground.Even a late Valencia sending off wasn't enough to dampen the celebrations of a successful first season.

Treble Winners!

View attachment 40166

Three trophies in my first season is very welcome, the clubs first treble since '99 (Sorry Mourinho). Even though one of those is the Super Cup, it was against Real Madrid in my first competitive game and i had no idea how we would fair. Safe to say I'm happy with how it turned out and if we can turn that Super Cup into a Champions League then I will be a very happy man indeed.

Zlatan steals the Golden Boot off Kane in the last two games by virtue of having played less minutes while Sanchez and Rashford make the top five. Sanchez's 18 and Rashford's 17 came in 25 and 23 games respectively as the latter scored his at a rate of a goal every 87 minutes!

Fitting that Carrick ends his career with a Player of the Month award. He has been such an amazing player for this club with multiple league titles and a European Cup. Even though i didn't have a regular place for him in my squad this season I'm glad i was able to give him a go at the end which lead to this award. Me thinks the voting for this may have come from the heart.

Next up will be a season review before we go again, this time aiming to add the Champions League to the trophy cabinet.​

Season Review

View attachment 40064

Nobody expected us to pull up any trees in terms of a title push with City the firm favourites at 3.50 but i always believed with the squad we have that we could give it a shake and us getting knocked out of Europe helped on that front. An almost full stadium and a lot of rotation were also key to challenging on multiple fronts and I'm satisfied that my worst result in the media's eyes is a 1-0 loss at Stamford Bridge!

A good season for the right wing back bombing down the line and providing 18 assists. Not a bad effort for a 32 year old.

Zlatan Takes Home Golden Boot

View attachment 40071

As mentioned in the previous post Ibra takes home the award for playing less games than Kane. The 36 year old has turned back the clock and banged them in on a regular basis as well as staying fit for longer than players half his age. I've asked him to stay on for another season and he's accepted. Hopefully the team can give him the Champions League winners medal that he's missed.

Lindelof Wins Young Players' Player Gong

View attachment 40070

This caps off a great first season for the club and in the Premier League for the young Swede who is my first centre back on the team sheet and has helped in allowing me to strengthen other areas this summer. Six goals as well shouldn't be sneezed at.

De Gea Third Place In Golden Glove

View attachment 40069

Special mention should be given to our number one as we managed to concede the second least amount of goals this season despite scoring at a rate of three goals a game. He made a lot of crucial saves, especially a few from 12 yards. So happy to have him in goal and I've recently signed him to a new long term contract to stave off interest from the likes of PSG and Real Madrid.

I Win Manager of the Year

Unsurprisingly this award goes to me after our domestic domination. In all honesty it wasnt that difficult with the players at my disposal once i found the formation that worked.

An absolute domination from the team in red with the only surprise being Blind in there who i thought was steady if unspectacular. Interesting that Demarai Gray and Ben Davies make it in for Leicester and Tottenham respectively.

Darmian's screamer wins Goal of the Season and his position as LWB in Team of the Season shows how much i had to rotate in that position between him, Shaw and Young.

Summary

Finally if you had of offered me the PL, FA Cup and a Champions League QF knockout against a team like Juve on goal difference i would have definitely taken it. The challenge now is to retain those titles and aim to add the Champions League and maybe the Carabao Cup depending on squad fitness.
With my new signing all but decided I firmly believe we will be better again next season, I just hope our rivals don't strengthen too much and take advantage of my self imposed transfer restrictions!

These are the four lads I'll be looking to bring through as i believe they have the best chance of making it into the first team squad in the next few years. All of them are either 16 or 17 yet i would have no issue with using them if required but i think some time in the Reserves and 18's is required for now.

Formation

​

View attachment 39197

After a bit of tinkering last season this is what we ended the campaign playing with and i will keep the status quo now as i feel it is working, especially in attack with the players we have.

The Bookies Odds

​

View attachment 39198

Outright favourites ahead of City and Chelsea. City have spent big bringing in Varane (£78m) and Tolisso (£55m), someone i was looking at if i was in the market for a centre mid while Chelsea have stumped up £69m for Romagnoli and £25m for Fred.

​

View attachment 39187

Lukaku and Sanchez are tipped to challenge for the Golden Boot while previous winner Ibra isn't expected to back up last season's performance!

​

View attachment 39188

De Gea and Pogba are outside challenges for Player of the Year with De Bruyne the bookies favourite. Again last season's winner Valencia is not even considered which is a surprise as he is still my first choice RWB.

​

View attachment 39189

Rashford is our only hope for Young Player this year and with some more game time and consistency that comes with playing another year in the PL, hopefully he can. I'm now completely worried about the bookie who makes these predictions as Lindelof completes the United hat-trick of previous award winners who haven't been given a sniff this year.

Pre-Season Friendlies

​

View attachment 39190

A good pre-season for the most part, winning two out of three on our far east tour to China, which was followed by two games against French opposition. We ended with two testimonials, first up was Nottingham Forest's Chris Cohen then Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross who was a former youth team player of ours.

UEFA Club Coefficients

​

View attachment 39192

Finally, our quarter final appearance has lead to our best season in Europe since Sir Alex's reign as we rise to 13th in the coefficients. I would say it will take at least three seasons and some top Champions League performances to get to the top but that has to be the aim of a club like our's.​

I knew pretty early on last season that I would be going for a world class striker as my one transfer this window. I was looking for a left footer to play on the right of my front three and with Ibra who plays through the middle getting on I want Lukaku to play there long term and that leaves a place for Dybala on the left. Add that to the fact I've got good depth in every other position and i think we're more equipped to challenge for the Champions League.

Smalling and Herrera have both decided they want to leave at the end of the season when their contracts expire and refuse to sign a new deal. Smalling I'm not too worried about as I have cover back their but i still hold out hope that i can change Herrera's mind.

​

View attachment 37316

I've wasted no time in offering Smalling out to clubs and Tottenham came in with a deal worth up to £21.5M. I'm not concerned about selling to a title rival as I don't think Smalling is good enough for this level and probably won't get a lot of game time with Vertonghen, Alderwiereld, Dier and Sanchez in front of him. It also gives me the opportunity to give de Ligt more game time.

Our defence and attack weren't good enough and our ability to limit these sorts of performances throughout the season will be the difference between a big haul of trophies or not. On a positive note Dybala gets his first for the club.

An encouraging performance and result given how much we rotated our squad, especially our back six. Dybala is back in the goals getting his third for the month with the only negative being a red card to Fosu-Mensah who i gave a run out at RWB.

Had to be the big Swede with his two hat tricks. My plan was to slowly phase him out of the first team with the arrival of Dybala but he has been so good that it'll be tough to do.

Our reign at the top continues but it's early doors still. Liverpool and Chelsea have already lost two out of their first half dozen games which could almost put them out of the title race at this early stage.
