Special mention to our striker Caio. He was the man usually demoted to the bench to allow Sam Ferguson to start. He still managed 24 league goals despite only starting 7 games
33 League appearances in his first season with a return of 12 goals isn't bad for a 16 year old. He missed 5 games through injury and as expected the Assistant Manager withdrew him at half time in almost every game.
City edge a 5 goal thriller. We were the better side until Jorge Scott's second yellow card then City came into it and ultimately snatched it in extra time.
I've won every game we played against Aberdeen since I left them for Old Trafford. This semi final was probably the toughest games against them to date. Probably helped that I've purposely sold some players to them even if other clubs had tabled larger bids.
A 19 minute hat-trick sees Sam put in his best display yet. He wins his first Man of the Match award and shortly after also bags a first Young Player of the Month award too.
We win the league comfortably but fell short of last seasons standards. I sold over £200m worth of talent since last season. Some players wanted to leave and others like 30 year old midfielder Madjer Filho's £73m move to PSG were too good to turn down.
I filled the gaps with youth team players and most of the dropped points games during an injury crisis and the kids were forced to all play at once as we had no experienced back up.

A notable entry on the goalscoring charts after his final day hat-trick..
Trophy number 12 ties us with Real Madrid. Arsenal must be sick of the site of us as we have beaten them four times now in Champions League finals.
Claus Warming is the final hero alongside Peter Ledsham who has returned from an injury ravaged season with a UCL final goal.
Warming, who we unsettled at West Ham to force a transfer, has had his head turned all season by PSG. His value is £88m and he is the best striker in Europe. In typical FM fashion PSG are only putting in bids of less than his market value. We have set his asking price at £120m. Meet that PSG and he is yours otherwise kindly f*ck off
Claus Warming was undoubtedly our player of the season involved in 85 goals in all competitions. Peter Ledsham, the man I picked to break the all-time league goals record for Utd had a few niggly injuries during the season missing around 15-20 games. He ends the season with 13 league goals leaving him on 191 goals.
Richard Forrester has seen his role in the team diminish slightly by Sam Ferguson but he extends his league goal record to 223
Our keeper David Rodriguez has replaced David de Gea but he himself is 34 now and the years are catching up with him. I may look to replace him in the summer.
Richard Forrester is our all time top goalscorer with a remarkable 375 goals. He too is coming to the end of his career but I will most likely keep him for a season or two more until Sam Ferguson is a fully established first team player on merit, rather than being his father's son
