Real Madrid V Man Utd - Champions League S/F 2nd leg
Caught in the headlights here. Stick with how we played in the 1st leg or switch to the counter attacking way we got the result against Bayern! Van Persie is fit, But only for the bench. NO RONALDO FOR MADRID!


Real Madrid 1-3 Man Utd
Fellaini
Young
Rooney


AGG Man Utd 5-1 Real Madrid


Bayern Tactics it is and we ease! Into the Final

Both sides make the final very comfortably

Wigan 0-1 Man Utd
Van Persie




Man Utd 1-2 West Ham
Cleverley


Title dream died with Fellaini getting sent off. Had we won this "Simple" game we'd have won the League

Barcelona
Only player you'd be surprised to be missing is Eric Abidal who hasn't played a game all season, That aside it the best of Barca

Yay :)

Man Utd
Nani was close but didn't quite make it. Rio picked up a knock it training and will also miss out. Kagawa and Fletcher miss out as i go all out for the big one




The Match


Quiet 1st half were making plenty chances just Van Persie has picked up a unhealthy habit of hitting the post


46 - Goal - Barcelona Messi
Right on half time the overrated mistro gives Barca the lead


HT - Barcelona 1-0 Man Utd


Our chances are beginning to fade, were making less chances but still hitting the post way too much


FT - Barcelona 1-0 Man Utd


Hit the post 3 times, shots on target 0 sums up our final we might have won it but its was left to Barca to take the Champions League final record at Wembley to 3 wins from 3

Post Match

"Im pretty ****** off to have reached the final and be the first person to get a shot at winning points for a champions league win. I just hope no big jobs come up over the summer, and Man Utd give me a new contract!"

Premiership - 2nd

We played a youth team and paid for it in the 3rd round

Spurs won a lottery and were the better team on the day

Real dominate






Going into the summer


Well unfortunately I'll still be in Manchester. Going to look at the squad and see what else i can do to improve the squad to be better overall. Less stupid defeats to mid table rubbish

Unlucky in the final, and your are in a predicament now. Do you invest in Man UTD and get quality players in, only for them to be the competition, or do you purchase players who you think will only just better your current team?? Good luck in your second season!! Any ideas who you fancy managing next or will you just wait until a job becomes available?

Man Utd wont need much investment. Runners up last year so no more than 1 star player in the summer i hope.

Next job is totally up in the air!. Hoping for Barca or Real Madrid's managers will go off to be a international manager after the 2014 world cup. Hope to join a team that are able to win the CL right away
 
unluckey not to win gd luck next year...i hope to update mine tonight

Man Utd signings
View attachment 297176


In


Neymar
View attachment 297180
Saw him on the transfer list and thought he would be my major buy for the summer




Marek Hamsik
View attachment 297182
Saw him on the transfer list and thought he would also be my major buy for the summer




Stephan Lichtsteiner
View attachment 297183
At the back of my mind i knew Chris Smalling wasn't a Wing back so when Stephen Lichtstiner was available on the transfer list he solved a huge problem






Out


Every major sale was made to make space for the incoming world beaters


Ashley Young to Newcastle after being our back up winger, Nani demoted to that role
Darren Fletcher to Spurs i feel will turn out to be a mistake with Giggs and Scholes reaching the end and Cleverly being mega inconsistent Marek MUST work out
Alex Buttner to Wolves. It was Buttner or Fabio and both may be hopeless but Fabio can fill in so many position



​
 
great signing although when u leave man utd u probs wont b able to get neymar
 
Getting £16.5mil for young and £15mil for fletcher is great business!
Maybe look to bring in a back-up CM just in case? But don't get someone you'll want to sign later on as I think you'll win the CL this season so can leave after.

After the first half against Wigan we've looked very poor in front of goal, Speed on into the team Neymar and fire us to the Championship




Champions League Draw
This year Man Utd got back to the easy draws were accustomed too.

Man Utd
Benfica
Spartak Moscow
APOEL




Benfica will be graced by our presence again and hopefully we'll get 6 points against them this year despite our horrid form at the start of the season
