Glory Manchester United!

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.

Manchester United vs. Schalke 04: Rooney and "Chicharito" ready to face Raúl in Champions League semis

Raúl Gonzalez Blanco have won the Champions League three times, and he is the top-scorer in the competition with 71 goals. Hernandez is aware of those records, but he is confident in his potential.

Hernandez is playing his first Champions League but his level is superb and he aims to be the perfect companion for Wayne Rooney.

Newcastle 0 - Manchester United 0

Newcastle United frustrates Ferguson's hopes of going nine points clear at the top of the Premier League. Manchester United only got a 0-0 draw in their visit at the Saint James Park.

Alex Ferguson complained about the referee. According to him, Danny Simpson hit "Chicharito" Hernandez but Lee Probert missed to notice. "The worst part, he booked Hernandez. That's an insult".

Manchester United remains leader with 70 points. Arsenal is a little bit closer now, with 63.

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.

Alex Ferguson's team proved to be the best in England this year, and they are clear favorites to win this game and reach the final. For Manchester City, this is the last chance they have to prove they can win a title, at least for this season.

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.
