Having won the league title, I decided to rest my key players and though we didn't we this match, it was a good performance. I was just frustrated with the referee, Stuart Attwell, for not showing a red to Nigel de Jong for a hard tackle on Evra.

Man Utd produce another good performance by beating Tottenham 4-0 to win the FA Cup. In a match where both teams had equal number on shot on goals and Tottenham who had a slight advantage on possession but it was Man Utd who had the upper hand.

Credits have to go to both strikers, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov who contributed to the goals and assist one another and also to David De Gea who made outstanding saves to deny Tottenham goals. The only bad news is that Nani had to be stretched out for a very serious injury.

With this latest win, Man Utd celebrate famous treble after having won the Premier League and League Cup.

It was the last match of the season so I decided to put my best players and also to deploy the attacking formation as I want to end the season with a win and also because Arsenal were currently in their best form.

It was a great start by Man Utd scoring early in the game. Wayne Rooney could have got his hat-trick but his attempts went wide. Man Utd eventually won the game 2-1.
