Ryan Giggs sets sights on retirement

Ryan Giggs has announced he will retire at the end of the season. Giggs intended retirement date is 22nd June 2013. I will be offering him a youth coaching contract soon.

Red is the colour


Champions League Final - F.C. Barcelona (Wembley)

Formation: 4-3-3 (counter)

Line-Up: David De Gea, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Neven Subotic, Patrice Evra, Andre Ayew, Anderson, Ryan Giggs, Javier Hernandez, Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov
Subs Used: Eden Hazard, Yaya Sanogo

It was another thrilling match to the Champions League final with Man Utd lifting the trophy for the second consecutive times after winning 3-2 in extra-time.

Man Utd were 2-0 up with Dimitar Berbatov and Javier Hernandez scoring in both half but Cesc Fabregas goal through a free kick from the edge of the area gave Barcelona a glimmer of hope. Well it doesn't take long before Keirrison equalised for Barcelona with a curling effort from 18 yards.

Things turned bad for Barcelona when they were reduced to 10 men as Carlos Puyol received his second yellow of the night. I decided to bring in fresh leg by substituting Berbatov for Sanogo. The match then went into extra-time.

With both teams looking for a goal in extra-time, it was Man Utd who had the most possession with the extra men they had. Man Utd finally got the goal through Wayne Rooney's strike in the 111 minutes. Barcelona players were unhappy as they claimed that Rooney was offside when the ball was being played but referee Jochen Drees was not interested of their protest. Man Utd hold on the lead till the final whistle.

Ryan Giggs who has announce his retirement at the end of this season, lift up the trophy for the last time.

2012/13 Season Review

So the season finally came to a close and once again we had a pretty good season. We manage to retain our Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup and the latest was the Champions League trophy. This season we also brought in new trophies, the Community Shield, European Super Cup and Club World Championship Cup. In short we have secured all the trophies for this season.

Our season start with the Community Shield against Man City and after that was the start of the new Premier League season. We had a good start to the Premier League winning several games and a couple of draws. This season was a bit challenging as we have to keep our pace with Arsenal who was constantly leading in the league table and with our extra matches (involvement in the Club World Championship) we have to swap the players to prevent fatigue and what I did was to include the youngsters in some matches. Our matches against our rivals was quite pleasing as we manage to win 6 wins, a draw and a lose. Our greatest victory was against Liverpool where we won 6-1 at Old Trafford.

As for our cup matches, we had our ups and downs. We had to rely on penalties against Bolton (won 5-4) in the 4th Round but it was smooth sailing up to the final. In the FA Cup, we met Chelsea in the 4th round (won narrowly, 1-0) but we were handed a difficult task against Everton in the 6th Round where we had to play for a replay. To be honest, we were lucky to avoid defeat and an exit in the competition as Ben-Haim scored an own goal. In the Champions League, we beat Man City and Arsenal to meet Barcelona once again and as it happened, we won in extra-time.

This season, I have achieved my aim in loaning my youngsters which bears a positive results. Ravel Morrison, Federico Macheda, Robbie Brady, Sam Johnstone, Scott Wootton and Ryan Tunnicliffe were all out on loan to various club. Federico Macheda and Ryan Tunnicliffe were the only two who are still on loan and will be returning back soon.

Our legendary midfielder, Ryan Giggs on the other hand has announce his retirement at the end of this season. It has been a great career journey for Giggs who joined Man Utd in July 1990 and he has made a total of 629 league appearances and scoring 110 goals. Giggs will retire on 22nd June 2013.

So overall I rate this season as , similar as last season and my outstanding player for this season goes to Javier Hernandez.

Thank you. All thanks to the defends and also David De Gea. He has been improving from the first season and I hope he can maintain this performance. Hopefully, he can did the same next season though I know it will be very difficult.
