Injury News – Anderson injured in training and is out for 2-3 weeks.

Anders Lindegaard, Fábio, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Jordi Alba, Paul Pogba, Jack Rodwell, Eden Hazard, Wayne Rooney, Mario Götze, Danny Welbeck
Subs Used – Darren Fletcher, Tom Cleverley, Federico Macheda

Another great game for the natural as it finished as a 3-3 draw (my 4 on the spin and third in a row in the league). Went ahead when Jones scored from a corner. Then Šime Vrsaljko got Arsenal back on track with a powerful effort. Then an error at the back allowed Hazard to score and then Rooney made it 1-3 after 48 minutes. Then two quick goals by Marek Hamšík and Robin van Persie made it 3-3.

Champions League – Athletic Bilbao H – 22.10.13

4-2-3-1
David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Jordi Alba, Jack Rodwell, Darren Fletcher, Nani, Eden Hazard, Mario Götze, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used – Paul Pogba, Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley

Finally won a game as my United team beat Athletic Bilbao. Goals from Götze, Vidić, Rooney and an OG by an Athletic defender game me a healthy 4-0 lead but in the final minutes one of my targets (Iker Muniain) ran through my defence and scored. The match finished 4-1.

League Game – Liverpool H – 27.10.13

4-2-3-1
David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Jordi Alba, Jack Rodwell, Darren Fletcher, Nani, Eden Hazard, Mario Götze, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used –Ashley Young, Tom Cleverley, Federico Macheda

A very good performance from all as United ran out 3-0 winners. A diving header from Nani put me ahead in the 42 minute. Then after a good run by Nani he blasted the ball into the back on the net in the 70 minute. Then after an error by Steven Gerrard allowed Cleverley so steer the ball home.

League Cup 4th Round – QPR A – 29.10.13

I decided to rest a couple of players. I also gave squad numbers to Shaheen Hughes (my DC regan) who will be staring and will wear 31, and Andrew Kenyon (number 33 and another regan) and Luke Gill (number 32 and another regan) who will be on the bench.

4-2-3-1
Anders Lindegaard, Kyle Walker, Chris Smalling, Shaheen Hughes, Fábio, Paul Pogba, Daren Fletcher, Ashley Young, Mateo Kovačić, Tom Cleverley, Javier Hernández
Subs Used – Robbie Brady, Jack Barmby, Federico Macheda

A quite game for my defence as QPR struggled to create chances. However United created a lot of half chances but it was Young who scored early to put United into the next round 0-1.

Loan Watch – End of October so I looked to see how my loan players were getting on -



I was pleased that they are all getting games but I am hoping that Gerard Deulofeo plays more games from now to Christmas or I will be looking to recall him. The two that are doing well are Adnan Januzaj and Carlos Fierro.

League Game – Blackburn A – 02.11.13

4-2-3-1
David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Jordi Alba, Tom Cleverley, Darren Fletcher, Nani, Eden Hazard, Mario Götze, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used –Ashley Young, Jack Rodwell, Javier Hernández

The match ended and I snatched a victory as Hernández scored in the last minutes. But I finished the game with 10 men as Cleverely was injured in the last 12 minuets and I had used all my substations.

Injury News – Cleverley out for 5 weeks.

Champions League – Athletic Bilbao A – 06.11.13

4-2-3-1
David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Jordi Alba, Paul Pogba, Darren Fletcher, Nani, Eden Hazard, Mario Götze, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used –Ashley Young, Jack Rodwell, Javier Hernández

My second of the group and the second win against Athletic as the match finished 1-3. Rooney, Götze, and Jones scored the goals. Also I have noticed that Götze seems to score more in Europe than the league.

League Game – Newcastle H – 10.11.13

4-2-3-1
David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Jordi Alba, Jack Rodwell, Darren Fletcher, Nani, Eden Hazard, Mario Götze, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used – Ashley Young, Paul Pogba, Anderson

The United fans celebrated a wonderful 5-0 win against a poor Newcastle side. Rooney put United ahead after an error by Haris Vučkić. Rodwell then scored the second but his first for the club. Then a Vidić header and another two headed goals by Jones made it a resounding victory. Hazard was the star of the show with 4 assists. However towards the end of the match Rodwell was badly injured.

Injury News – Rodwell broke his leg and will be out for 6 months so his season is probably over.

League Game – Man City H – 13.11.13

4-2-3-1
David De Gea, Rafael, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidić, Jordi Alba, Anderson, Darren Fletcher, Nani, Eden Hazard, Mario Götze, Wayne Rooney
Subs Used – Chris Smalling, Robbie Brady, Javier Hernández

A great solo goal by Nani got all three points against a strong Man City side. With the victory it now puts United top of the table (two points clear of second place Liverpool who have played the same amount of games).

Transfer News – I have signed a young regan from Brazil called Rafael for £1 million. He currently plays for Flamengo and will join up on the 1.01.15.

Transfer News – I have signed a young regan from Brazil called Chorão for £1.6 million. He currently plays for São Paulo and will join up on the 1.01.15.
