Sir Ryan Giggs will have to use all of his skills to get the best out of his players in the coming month.

6 of the best from United as Sunderland brushed aside

Saturday 2nd May 2015

With many people considering that Manchester United were struggling slightly towards the end of the April when the side began conceding more goals and the injury to Nani that would keep him out for 3 weeks, many pundits were predicting that United would fall at the final hurdle. But this was not the case as they brushed aside Sunderland.

EPL - Match Day 35
Man Utd

6 - 0

Sunderland
Gareth Bale (4, 8, 11), Chicharito (21, 48), Marc Jones (52)

Lee Cattermole sent off (60)

W Rooney - Chicharito

G Bale - G Amaya - M Jones - C Ronaldo

F Coentrao - J Evans - N Vidic (c) - P Evra

J Steele

MoM: Gareth Bale (9.6)

Despite putting up a strong performance against Manchester United in the FA Cup Semi Final, Eddie Howe's side approached this game with the belief that they would be able to get something out of it but how wrong there were. With Gareth Bale enjoying his role at left wing he certainly showed this in the first 11 minutes netting an incredible hat trick. The first of his goals came in the 4th minute of the game and it was a simple finish after a shot was parried by Mignolet. The second goal was another poachers effort as Marc Jones' shot careered off the post and Bale was there to slot it into the net. His final goal was a wonderful headed effort from a Chicharito cross to make it 3 - 0 in the first 11 minutes. Chicharito then grabbed his first of the day after receiving the ball from the ever present Patrice Evra down the right flank to fire in a powerful effort. Chicharito then scored the goal of the game after running from his own half dribbling the ball between two defenders before placing a wonderful effort into the back oft the net to make it 5. The Welsh sensation Marc Jones capped a wonderful midfield display by scoring a powerful long ranged effort to make it 6 with 38 minutes left to play, but despite continual pressure the Red Devils couldn't score another.

United face Villarreal challenge

Tuesday 5th May 2015

With Manchester United drawing ever closer to a potential Champions League Final against either Real Madrid or Barcelona, they first however have to overcome the challenge that is Villarreal at Old Trafford. After winning the away leg narrowly 4 - 3 at El Madrigal in Spain thanks to a brace from Cristiano Ronaldo. With 4 away goals United will no doubt fancy their chances at plying their trade in the Champions League Final for the third consecutive season and winning the trophy for the second time in those three years.

Villarreal

Ronaldo turned provider as United turned on the style in 4 - 1 win

MoM: Marc Jones (9.6)

It was a masterful midfield display from Manchester United that saw them run out 4 - 1 winners against Villarreal in a Champions League Semi Final. It didn't take long for United to break the deadlock with the Welsh sensation Marc Jones receiving the ball on the edge of the box from Cristiano Ronaldo to fire in a powerful effort on 10 minutes to open the scoring. Marc Jones then grabbed a second goal once again from the edge of the area with a powerful low shot that the keeper could only push into the side netting on 18 minutes. United's Mexican midfielder Gustavo Amaya then showed he too can shoot from long range firing in a powerful effort after receiving the ball from Gareth Bale. Marc Jones was then given the opportunity to score from the spot after Chicharito was brought down unfairly in the area.

Wilshere: Leaving at end of the season!

LAST UPDATED: Wednesday 6th May 2015​

Arsenal and England star Jack WIlshere has today announced his intentions to leave Arsenal on a free at the end of the season.

Jack Wilshere today shocked Sam Allardyce and Captain Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal after announcing that he would be leaving the Emirates on a free transfer at the end of the season. Since arriving at Arsenal in 2007/08 season Jack Wilshere has become one of the brightest talents in the Premier League scoring 3 goals and providing 11 assists in 71 matches in the Premier League for both Arsenal and Bolton.

The announcement comes as a shock to many people around Arsenal after believing that they had turned a corner with the appointment of Sam Allardyce as the new manager at the Emirates. Since his arrival Arsenal have moved up to 7th position on the table and look to be securing European football next season. Which is at least going to be a consolation for what has been a terrible season for the club.

United have flying finish to domestic campaign

Sunday 24th May 2015

With the end of the season drawing near Manchester United had fixtures against, Wigan (Away), Blackburn (Home), and Chelsea (Away), with all clubs fighting in respective battles there is no doubt that these matches could prove a problem for Manchester United.

EPL - Match Day 36
Wigan

0 - 4

Man Utd
Marc Jones (31), Cristiano Ronaldo (45+1), Chicharito (54), Jonny Evans (75)

W Rooney - Chicharito

G Bale - G Amaya - M Jones - C Ronaldo

F Coentrao - J Evans - N Vidic (c) - P Evra

J Steele

Chicharito slotting away a neat finish

MoM: Marc Jones (9.1)

With Wigan struggling near the foot of the table it was no surprise that Manchester United were run away winners at the DW Stadium. Wigan did prove to be fairly resilient and it wasn't until the 31st minute that an absolute wonder goal from Marc Jones broke the deadlock from 35 yards out. Cristiano Ronaldo then scored a trademark free kick in the 45th minute the stretch the lead further. United continued to push on and look to extend their lead and that goal came 9 minutes after the second half kick off when Chicharito picked up the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo picked up the ball to fire in a powerful close range finish. It was Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans who scored United's fourth with a close finish after picking up the ball from a Marc Jones corner. It was a strong performance from Manchester United ahead of their final two league games.

EPL - Match Day 37
Man Utd

3 - 0

Blackburn
Cristiano Ronaldo (29), Chicharito (83, 90+1)

Nikola Kalinic sent off (4)

W Rooney - Chicharito

G Bale - G Amaya - M Jones - C Ronaldo

F Coentrao - J Evans - N Vidic (c) - P Evra

J Steele

MoM: Chicharito (8.8)

In a match where Blackburn went down to 10 men after just 4 minutes they went extremely defensive and aimed to shut up shop. The deadlock was eventually broken in the 29th minute when Cristiano Ronaldo scored a powerful shot from the edge of the area to break Blackburn hearts and potentially open the flood gates. However, this didn't happen and Manchester United continued to push forward for more goals and hit the woodwork on SIX occasions, with United finally grabbing the second of the day on 83 minutes when the Mexican sniper Chicharito picked up the ball just outside the area to unleash a powerful effort past the keeper. The final goal of the day was a wonderfully improvised effort as Wayne Rooney curled an effort at goal and young Javier Hernandez flicked on the header over the despairing Paul Robinson. Manchester United pushed and completely dominated the game but just couldn't capitalise and resulted in a solid 3 - 0 victory.

EPL - Match Day 38
Chelsea

2 - 4

Man Utd
Fernando Torres (44), Neymar (74) - Cristiano Ronaldo (1), Gustavo Amaya (17), Ivan Petric (85), Chicharito (90)

Fabio Coentrao injured (14)

Charlie Adam injured (17)

W Rooney - Chicharito

G Bale - G Amaya - M Jones - C Ronaldo

F Coentrao - J Evans - N Vidic (c) - P Evra

J Steele

MoM: Cristiano Ronaldo (9.2)

A fantastic match to end the domestic season with Manchester United eventually running out 4 - 2 winners. The match started in the best possible way for the Red Devils with Cristiano Ronaldo opening the scoring after just 22 seconds with a powerful effort after picking up the ball from Mexican star Chicharito. United then went up 2 - 0 with Gustavo Amaya scoring a poachers effort after receiving the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo inside the 6 yard box. Fernando Torres gave Chelsea hope just before the break after beat Nemanja Vidic for pace on 44 minutes to score a neat finish.

Chelsea came out of the blocks flying in the second half and broke the offside trap expertly with Neymar running clean through and firing home a powerful finish. United youth team star Ivan Petric then came off the bench to grab an 85th minute goal and his first senior goal for the club after finishing with a powerful headed effort from a Cristiano Ronaldo cross. He looked delighted to have scored his first goal against a team of Chelsea's stature. Ivan Petric then provided the fourth goal for United after playing a delightful pass for Chicharito to score a placed finish from inside the area.
