Cheers mate, im glad your enjoying it

Frustrating Stalemate At The DW
4-4-2
Line Up - David De Gea, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, Paul Pogba, Marek Hamsik, Antonio Valencia, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck
Subs Used - Anderson
With the amount of chances created we really should of won this, especially having hit the bar 5 times! Wigan rarely threatened our back 4 so was good to keep a third successive clean sheet but we now drop back to 2nd place after Spurs win over Everton. It's beginning to get interesting in the BPL.

Anderson will miss the next 3-4 weeks of the season after straining his back lifting weights during a training session. He joins Patrice Evra on the sidelines who still faces another 3-4 weeks off from a injury picked up back in november.

Line Up - Anders Lindegaard, Rafael, Jonny Evans, Phil Jones, Fabio, Paul Pogba, Paul Scholes, Antonio Valencia, Ryan Giggs, Javier Hernandez, Michael Owen
Subs Used - Adnan Januzaj, Park Ji Sung, Will Keane
Routine win at old trafford. Javier Hernandez got the first after 22mins, then it was just a wait for the next and it came 20mins from time courtesy of the same man Hernandez. Antonio Valencia got our third before Marlon Harewood struck a late consolation,bring on round 4!

Rooney On Form In Cagey Clash
4-4-2
Line Up - David De Gea, Rafael, Jonny Evans, Nemanja Vidic, Fabio, Paul Pogba, Marek Hamsik, Ashley Young, Nani, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez
Subs Used - Park Ji Sung, Tom Cleverley
With Danny Welbeck unfit, i gave Javier Hernandez a start after his brace in the FA cup a week ago. Wayne Rooney was the game changer, he got the first midway through the first half then had to wait until 7mins into the second half to get the second. Nani went off injured at half time however its nothing serious & Ashley Young made his first appearance in over 3 months after his long term injury
Manchester United 2 - 0 Stoke City
Joy In Manchester As Reds Go 5 Clear
4-5-1
Line Up - David De Gea, Rafael, Jonny Evans, Nemanja Vidic, Fabio, Tom Cleverley, Michael Carrick, Marek Hamsik, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez
Subs Used - Park Ji Sung, Tom Cleverley
I decided to go with a 4-5-1 formation for this clash, going to Stoke is always tough and they showed it today, they had many chances but they cuden't put them chances away luckily we could though. We took the lead through Javier Hernandez & it was 2-0 just before half time, Wayne Rooney converting from the spot after Fabio was brought down in the area. Hernandez got his 2nd soon after the restart before Peter Crouch got one back for Stoke. Just 3mins later Tom Cleverley his a wonder strike to make it 4-1 & then Jonathan Woodgate got another back for Stoke in stoppage time but proved to be just a consolation.
Stoke City 2 - 4 Manchester United
Wayne Rooney Inspires Second Half Performance
4-4-2
Line Up - David De Gea, Phil Jones, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, Tom Cleverley, Marek Hamsik, Ashley Young, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez
Subs Used - Paul Pogba, Park Ji Sung, Fabio
The away team were stubborn in the first time, they stayed resolute at the back & made it difficult for us however that changed in the second half. Wayne Rooney gave us the lead and it was 2-0 soon after, Ashley Young scoring his first goal since his return from injury and what a goal it was! Rooney wrapped up the game from the spot, his 24th of the season.
Manchester United 3 - 0 QPR
Domination At The Den
4-4-2
Line Up - Anders Lindegaard, Rafael, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Fabio, Antonio Valencia, Paul Pogba, Mats Daehli, Nani, Will Keane, Danny Welbeck
Subs Used - Jonny Evans, Rio Ferdinand, Tom Cleverley
A great performance all round, i gave Will Keane his first start for the club & Mats Daehli his full debut & both played well. It took until the second half for the goals to come & it was Phil Jones to open the scoring 10mins after the restart. Will Keane scored his 2nd for the club soon after & Nani made it 3-0 following a counter attack made by Antonio Valencia. Will Keane completed the rout with a poachers effort from Danny Welbecks pass.
Millwall 0 - 4 Manchester United
Storming Attack Makes Up For Slacking Defence
4-4-2
Line Up - David De Gea, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, Fabio, Tom Cleverley, Marek Hamsik, Antonio Valencia, Nani, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck
Subs Used - Michael Carrick, Ashley Young
A fine win away from home however it nearly turned embarrassing at one stage. Danny Welbeck hit a lush shot early on, his first in 2 months! Rooney soon after gave us a 2-0 lead. We had a 3rd before half time through Tom Cleverley & by then i thought this was gunna be many more..i was wrong. Chris Herd got one back for Villa & before i knew it they had another from Herd. I switched to 4-5-1 as they were all over us and it certainly helped, 3mins from the end Carlos Cuellar was sent off for pulling down Welbeck through on goal & then Tom Cleverley finished them off in stoppage time. Disappointed with my defence at there lack in concentration however its 3 much needed points.
Aston Villa 2 - 4 Manchester United
Injury Update
I am pleased to announce that i have a full squad to choose from! Patrice Evra has commenced full training following his 3 month lay off, along with Anderson & Chris Smalling who has also just returned to full fitness. The only lay off is Darren Fletcher who is out with a chronic bowel condition however im just glad i now have a near perfect fully fit squad ready to choose from as the next couple months of fixtures will be hectic & crucial to how my season turns out.
Btw im happy to answer any questions & i hope your enjoying my story as im enjoying writing about it!
A updated league table will be put up in the next couple of weeks (gametime) so look out for that
Yeah the Fletcher thing is a pre-audaned event. He has the condition in real life and is out indefinitely, basically he gets ulcers in his intestine not good

Sucks he got that as in my opinion he's been a big miss in the midfield both in game & real life. He's also one of my favourite players
United Captain Sinks Van Gaal's Gunners
4-4-2
Line Up - David De Gea, Rafael, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Fabio, Tom Cleverley, Marek Hamsik, Ashley Young, Nani, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck
Subs Used - Park Ji Sung, Javier Hernandez
A crucial 3 points today in the cold snow that gives us a 7 point advantage over our closest rivals City. Wayne Rooney scored early on however we suffered a setback 10mins before half time when Robin Van Persie struck home. Looking for a winner it fell to Nemanja Vidic who found himself in a poachers position scoring a poachers goal, great result now bring on 3 tough away games!
Manchester United 2 - 1 Arsenal
