My Reasons to Start with Man United are

1) They are My Favorite Team
2) Havn't Managed them in FM 13 so far
3) RvP wont be the Same a Season or two later (Because of Injuries)

I Hope You will Follow My adventure in trying the Impossible


Special Thanks to Klippybo and Stonecold for Making this Challenge

Transfers

I was Given a Budget of 30m and wage bugdet of 110k to Work with.
There were Loads and Loads of Players Purchased and Sold.

 Total114m
 Total88m

​

Also Loaned out a Few Youngsters with their Wages being Paid in Full by the Respective Clubs.



All the Players that Came in Were Basically Upgrades to the Ones that Left, So very Pleased with the transfer dealings.
Started the Window Selling Ashley Young and Getting in Gareth Bale and Got the Fellaini transfer done quickly before City got Interested, then Put in a Bid for Wellington Nem and was Very Surprised to See around 15 of the Top European Clubs interested in him.
After Bale left Tottenham, Sandro was not Happy and after a Few days was Transfer Listed for 15.5m.
Also Put in a Bid for Ben Arfa as I was a Winger Short,
Then Started Unsettling Hamsik and Jovetic and with Interest high in Both of them from City, Tottenham and Arsenal in Case of Hamsik and Chelsea, Tottenham in Case of Jovetic, Both were Transfer Listed... (Mission Accomplished)
Also on the Last Day of the Window, I realized that I was a Quality Left Back Short, So went out and Got Alaba In but the Problem was that I didnt have the Money to Confirm the Deal So had to get rid of Fletcher who Coincidentally went to Bayern for the Same Fee. LOL​

Pre-Season Friendlies

After the Tactics were Set, the Pre Season Friendlies began.
All the Friendlies Resulted in Comfortable Wins which was Pleasing but the Only Negative was that Robin van Persie didnt Score in any of the Friendlies.

Began the Season away to Southamptonan and then had to Play Reading at Home.

Southampton 2 - 2 Man Utd
Lambert , Cork
RvP , Rooney

My First Official League Game in Charge and We witness a Very Crazy Game at St. Mary's, Lambert gives Southampton the Lead in the 56th Min after which RvP equalises for us in the 68th. Jack Cork scores his first goal for Southampton and Rooney equalises in the 90th Min to save me from a Debut Loss. We incredibly Hit the Woodwork three times in the Match.

Man Utd 8 - 1 Reading
Bale (4), Rooney (2), Ben Arfa , Vidic
Pobrebnyak

After the Poor Showing in the First Game, this Win was really Necessary and My Boys Delivered Incredibly. Gareth Bale was Outstanding, MOTM
