have you sold any keys players to clubs?

They are both playing very well especially Hazard. At the moment I am happy with my squad as my young players are developing nicely. Also Pogba and Cleverley are playing well

I have let a couple of players go with the main one being Berbatov. In the next widow I will be looking to sell Carrick as Pogba and Cleverley are above him in my squad.

Other News – Will Keane returned from his short-term loan deal at Swindon and did very well. In the 8 games he played he scored 3 and assisted 3. He also got the young player on the month award for League 1.

Transfer News – Carrick has agreed to move to Fulham In the January transfer window for 3 million.

It's funny to see this kind of domination from United as it's similair to anothers story on City. I wonder just how good the CPU managers are in FM sometimes. You have got a great squad with some brilliant young players like Hernandez, Rooney, Nani, Gotze, Hazard and Jones but teams like City and Chelsea have not really been up there with you (They have more funds and should be bringing the best players in) and it's the same story in others games when they control City.

If Hernandez can take his EPL form into the latter stages of the CL then he must be in with a shout of WPOTY?

Who has your main rival been in terms of the EPL has it been consitent in the same teams?

On another note was good to see United get back to winning ways at weekend as the Basel game was painful for myself and many other fans!
