Arch Rivals Manchester United and Liverpool are drawn together to play a mouth watering tie at Anfield in the FA Cup 5th round.
Manchester United brushed aside Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers to reach 5th Round with a resounding 3–0 win. Any fears of United not giving respect to the opposition were smashed when the team sheet came out. SAHA, Ruud and Rooney all started and new boy Vidic started his first match since his move early this month. Goals from Kieran Richardson (2) and SAHA capped a fine performance by an injury hit United side.
Manchester United secured their place in the final of carling cup with a hard fought but deserved 2-1 victory over Blackburn at Old Trafford. After tame 1-1 draw away at blackburn, United were favorites to go through to the final but Blackburn made them work hard for their triumph. United will play Wigan in the final after the premiership new boys secured their place at expense of Arsenal.
The conference side burton albion held Manchester United to a goalless draw at pirelli stadium. Sir Alex, perhaps over obsessed by giving his stars a breather after gruelling premiership fixtures over the holiday season, chose a very young and inexperienced side against burton. His tactics seem to have once again proven wrong as United added another 90 minutes of cup football in their already packed schedule.
Manchester United look set to sign the french left back Patrice Evra from french club Monaco. This news should be music to ears of United fans as it confirms that the club is really building a good team for the future. Dont forget United have recently signed Nemanja Vidic who by the way got his work permit today and should start a match soon.
Manchester United drew 0-0 away at highbury against arsenal in a hard fought but less entertaining match. United had better share of chances and ronaldo missed a sitter at the end of first half. They also had few half chances in the second half to score but couldnt capitalise. Chelsea are 13 points ahead now, even though united were not going to catch them before this match, they have more or less sealed and delivered the trophy to chelsea now. Alex Ferguson declared that "Chelsea are in their own league".
31st December 2005, new year's eve, Birthday of a great man Alex Ferguson and 2 devils disguised in red and white kit, unleash hell..... literally.
Its just in. Nemanja Vidic has agreed personal terms and passed medical at United today. As soon as he gets his work permit, he can start playing for United. Good Luck to Vidic!
The premiership it seems, is well and truly over. Manchester United are held to a 2-2 draw by Birmingham city in an entertaining encounter. United were first to find the net when Ruud put them ahead in 7th minute. Birmingham drew level 15 minutes later through Jamie clapham but really that goal shouldn't have stood as Ronaldo was fouled clearly seconds before the goal was scored but referee Howard Webb failed to spot it or just ignored the foul.
Serbia and Montenegro defender Nemanja Vidic is set to join United from Spartak Moscow during the January transfer window as both clubs finalized the fees and formalities. Vidic was part of Serbia and Montenegro team which qualified for the world cup from their group in first place conceding only 1 goal. The collective defense is known as "THE FAMOUS FOUR". United manager Alex Ferguson is delighted with the signing as he rates vidic very highly and considering Liverpool and Fiorentina both were in the running, its an excellent signing. In the end it came to the player, who he wants to play for and he chose United over the European champions.
Manchester United outdid, outmuscled and outclassed sorry West Brom in their boxing day clash as they romped to 3-0 victory over their midland rivals.
