Manchester City got a stunning 1-6 win at Old Trafford

This is the worst day in Manchester United's history. Their local rival, Manchester City, crushed Ferguson's side with an impressive 1-6 victory. Mario Balotelli, Agüero, Dzeko and Silva scored for the "Citizens". Fletcher netted the only goal for United, but it was just not enough.

Italian striker Mario Balotelli proved to be the most dangerous weapon in Mancini's squad. He netted twice and showed a shirt with the phrase "Why always me?". Edin Dzeko and David Silva were also extremely important in this unexpected victory.

As for the "Red Devils", they had a hard time in terms of posession and shots on goals. Wayne Rooney was not the different player that saved his team in the past. And the red card for Jonathan Evans, only in the first minutes of the second half, allowed City to display a great game.

Manchester City is the leader of the Premier League with 25 pts. while United remains in the second place with 20.

"Chicharito" saved the day for Manchester United in 1-1 draw against Liverpool

The 2011/2012 season in the Premier League will not be an easy one for Manchester United. Rivals are stronger this time, and if Ferguson leaves some of his stars on the bench, bad things can happen.

Indeed, Ferguson sidelined Wayne Rooney, "Chicharito" Hernandez and Nani in order to allow players rotation. The starting team against Liverpool included then Park Ji-Sung, Danny Welbeck and Ashley Young in the frontline, but Kenny Dalglish's side was too dangerous to be underestimated.

Captain Steven Gerrard scored the first one for Liverpool, and even Lebron James - who was attending the game - celebrated with euphoria. After the 1-0, Ferguson sent on Rooney, Hernandez and Nani to save the situation.

And it was the mexican striker who scored the equalizer with a late header, at the 81st minute.

Barcelona beat Real Madrid and could be United's rival at Champions League final

Lionel Messi exposed his outrageous talent against Real Madrid and scored twice to beat Mourinho's team 0-2. With this result, Guardiola's team is virtually qualified for the Champions League final, even when they still have to play the second game.

As we know, Manchester United defeated Schalke with a stunning 0-2 as visitors. After this games, it's very likely to have a Manchester United vs. Barcelona in Wembley.

Only a miracle would help Real Madrid beat their classic rival with a three goal advantage. And Mourinho already said that it will be "impossible". Ferguson knows that Messi will be his next rival.

Rooney and Giggs beat amazing Neuer

Manchester United defeated Schalke 0-2 in Germany and are closer to the Champions League final.

Schalke golie Manuel Neuer completed a superb performance, but that was not enough to avoid defeat. Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney scored and cleared their road to the Final. If they win the second leg, United will face the winner of the Real Madrid - Barcelona duel.

Spanish striker Raul Gonzalez admitted that Manchester United was superior. "Reaching the final is really hard now. But I find it nice to say good bye at the Old Trafford" said Raul.

Coach Rangnick remains optimistic. "This is football and anything could happen. Schalke have won as visitors before. And we have the best goalkeeper in the world" said the coach.

Alex Ferguson agrees with Rangnick. "This duel is not over. The triumph is important but we must be focused for the second leg if we want to reach the final" concluded Ferguson.

City defeated United and reached the FA Cup final

Yayá Toure scored the only goal in Manchester City's 1-0 win over classic rival Manchester United. The "citizens" reached the FA Cup final and will have the chance to win a title for the first time in 35 years.

Manchester United used their most important players except for Rooney, sidelined due to yellow cards accumulation. Carlos Tevez - City's best striker - was not fit for the game either, which makes this win even more important for Mancini's team.

The blue team could not dominate the game in the first part. But once they gain confidence, City started creating really dangerous situations with Silva and Toure. Ferguson had troubles in his front line, but used "Chicharito" Hernandez only in the last ten minutes. Clearly a late move.

Ferguson blamed the lost to a "slack defense and not scoring in key moments of the game".

Manchester derby in the FA Cup semifinals

Manchester United has yet another important game to face, this time in the FA Cup semis and against their classic rival in their city: Manchester City. Ferguson announced they're using their best footballers for the match.

We must notice that the stars in both teams will not take part of the game. Wayne Rooney will miss this match due to a yellow card. Carlos Tevez is sidelined with a muscular injury.

Berbatov and Valencia gave United a 2-0 win over Fulham

Dimitar Berbatov and Antonio Valencia scored great goals to secure United victory at the Old Trafford Stadium. We must also mention Portuguese star Nani, who was the most important player in this match.

The road to the title seems to be clear for Manchester United. And this result also helps for the confidence ahead of the Champions League quarterfinals against Chelsea.

Wayne Rooney was the hero once again, and this time it was in the Champions League. The quarterfinals game between Chelsea and Manchester United finished 1-0 for Ferguson's team.

"I know the last games between us did not ended up so good but this can change on wednesday" Owen stated.

Wayne Rooney also added that this match will be especially tough because "Chelsea have a strong midfield and great strikers. But Manchester United have those qualities too".

Portuguese Nani claims to be one of the top players in the world

Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, also known as Nani, has become one of the most important players in the current Manchester United squad. His last goal against Tottenham Hotspurs, even though very rare, was vital to get the victory.

He claims that hard training and discipline is helping him improve his performance each game. "As a professional footballer, I'm close to being as complete as I can be, because y work hard to be one of the top players in the world. And I think I reached that level. I play for the best club in the world and my role here is as a decisive player, scoring goals or setting up and so the team can win" Nani said.

The portugues player also talks about self confidence: "You have to believe in yourself and believe in your abilities on the pitch. Big games are for big players".

But it seems like most fans just don't agree with him. In fact, many forums over the Internet are showing the opinion of Manchester United supporters, who say that the striker is a "joke" and "deluded".

Wayne Rooney officially confirms his intention of leaving the club

The popular striker announced on wednesday that he wants to play somewhere else: "I met with David Gill last week, and my conclusion is that what I was expecting for the squad in the future will not become true. That's why I told him that I would not sign a new contract" Rooney said.

An official statement from Wayne for the news clearly says that he has no intention to continue with the club of Old Trafford.

"It's true that the club and I have had many conversations about a new contract. And I expressed that the club should sign more top players to enhance our squad. But if that's not going to happen, then I don't want to stay" the striker concluded.

As we know, during this week Ferguson said that an ankle injury lowered Rooney's performance with England against Montenegro. However, Wayne said he had no injuries at all.

In the other hand, Owen Hargreaves will miss the game because Ferguson believes that he is still not recovered from a knee surgery.

Manchester United edged Everton and chase Arsenal

The talented Cristiano Ronaldo netted two goals for Manchester United as it beat Everton 2-1 in English soccer's Premier League to maintain pressure on first-place Arsenal.

Indeed, Ronaldo converted a penalty kick in the 88th minute to give United a ninth straight victory at its Old Trafford stadium, ending Everton's 13-game unbeaten run.

Defending champion Manchester United moves to 42 points from 18 matches, one point behind Arsenal. Chelsea, which is at Blackburn later today, has 34 points from 17 games, ahead of Manchester City because of a superior goal difference. Everton, in sixth spot, has 30 points.

Ronaldo got the opening goal today in the 22nd minute after collecting a pass from argentine star Carlos Tevez. The Portugal winger stepped past a challenge from Lee Carsley before firing a shot past ex- United goalkeeper Tim Howard.

We can say that Everton tied the game five minutes later when Tim Cahill rose above Patrice Evra to head into the net from a cross by Steven Pienaar.

United pressed after halftime, with Tevez and Anderson both testing Howard. Striker Wayne Rooney hit a 20-yard effort which just cleared the bar.
