The Story So Far...
^Rooney has been the main driving force of Man Utd this season^
August
Man Utd started the season very well taking 9 points from a possible 12 and winning the Community shield. Man Utd won the FA Community Shield in a 6-1 trashing of Aston Villa last season's runner up in the league.Man Utd brought this good form into their first home match of the season against Sheffield Utd. They won that match 5-1. They then had 2 big games back to back, Arsenal and Chelsea. Man Utd beat Arsenal 3-0 but couldn't produce the goods against Chelsea and lost 2-1. They rounded off the month with a convincing 3-1 win at home against Blackburn Rovers.
September
Man Utd started September the same way as August scoring 6 goals in a match. They then had another good performance and won 5-1 against Bolton at the Reebok. Sir Alex played his reserves against Bournemouth in the Carling Cup 2nd round and it payed off as Man Utd won 2-1 at Old Trafford. Man Utd took maximum points in the League in September and finished off the month with a 3-0 win at home to QPR and a 4-0 win at Eastlands in the Manchester Derby. They also got their Champions League campaign off to a good start with a 3-2 at Home to Juventus but a dissappointing 0-0 draw with Rapid Wein.
October
They started off the month well again, which was becoming a habit for United, with a 4-0 win at Home against Wigan. United produced another very good performance against Middlesboro' away from home and won comfortably. They also eased past West Brom in the Carling Cup beating them 5-0. Man Utd won comfortably at home to Fulham but could only manage a 1-0 win at Upton Park against West Ham. Champions League qualification was hanging in the balance after a 2-2 with Anderlecht. Man Utd finished off the month with a 2-0 win at White Hart Lane against Tottenham
November
Man Utd scraped past Sheffield Utd in the Carling Cup 4th round with a nervy 1-0 win. Man Utd sucured Champions League qualification with their biggest win of the season so far, a 7-0 thumping of Anderlecht at home revenge for the draw in October. Man Utd then brought that form into a league match with Liverpool and trashed them 4-0. They scored 4 goals the next week aswell winning 4-0 away at Reading. Man Utd had another big win at home in November this time it was a 6-0 win against Crystal Palace. This was a fabulous month for Man Utd winning 5 matches out of 5, not conceding a single goal and scoring a total of 22 goals.
December
The month started well for United but ended up being the worst month of the season so far for United. They started the month with a convincing win against Rapid Wein. But then Man Utd came up against their bogey team, Everton. Man Utd were losing 3-0 in this match but nearly managed a draw but they could only pull back two goals in the last 10 mins. They bounced back well though winning 4-1 away from home to Juventus to secure top spot in the group. Man Utd only managed a 1-0 win at home to Portsmouth but then beat Aston Villa 4-2 the next week. Man Utd then knocked Arsenal out of the Carling Cup, in the Quater-Finals, 4-2. Arsenal got revenge though as they beat Man Utd 6-3 on Christmas Day.
Can Man Utd continue this good form and win the league for the 5th time in a row
