He should be grand with that group once he wins his home games and beats Malmo away.
Playing as Rangers has made you a negative manager pal, all doom and gloom.

Shut up Shedender!
KEVO that Scottish league has definitely done something to him!
A friendly with Russia awaited my England side which we came back from behind to claim another good win. We were behind inside the first minute before an own goal saw the scores level at the break. Second half a double from my United centre back Smalling saw us claim a good three one win.
We then faced Sweden in another UEFA World Cup Qualifying group game and once again battered them, this time four nil at the Friends Arena. We were off the blocks in the thirty sixth minute through Ince before Rooney made it two nil before the break. Second half Woodrow had his first ever England goal before Zaha rounded up the scoring.
And with that, we've stole the qualification spot after just six games with two still to play. We sit five points clear of second place Sweden with a game in hand over them too. We've now netted seventeen goals in our six games and have dropped just those two points!

Our good form has continued through the league this season bar one slip up and that was away at Stoke where we were poor. We beat QPR and then Everton, three nil and four nil, seeing Butland keep two strong clean sheets before we lost two nil at Stoke. Thankfully our form bounced straight back as we hit two past Wigan at Home. Wayne Rooney is finding the net this season!
We are still in the Capital One Cup after our first appearance this season but only just. We went four nil up against West Ham with Backley, Zaha netting twice and an own goal. But second half West Ham were trouncing back, netted three but couldn't upset us! In the Fourth Round we will face Championship side Middlesbrough.
The Champions League has gotten off to a slow start for us as we one a piece away at CSKA Moscow. Rooney missed a seventh minute penalty before the host took the lead. Rooney netted a penalty on the twentieth minute but it was to be a single point game.
We haven't made the perfect start, after slipping up to Stoke but our City rivals, Manchester City have and they sit top with eighteen points from a possible eighteen. Whilst we sit third, behind current holders in second Chelsea. We are both on fifteen points and trailing City by three. Derby and Stoke are the early surprises sitting fourth and fifth, but on twelve points.

We faced our final two world Cup Qualifiers, our first a trip to ETO Park to take on Hungary and we absolutely strolled to victory here. Jack Wilshere netted after twelve minutes before Rooney made it two nil and Chris Smalling made it three before the break. After the restart Hungary pulled one back before Ince and Zaha netted within six minutes of each other, seeing us stroll to a five one victory.
We then faced Georgia, the bottom side in the group and they stayed there as we narrowly won three two at Wembley. John Stones netted in the sixth minute with his club team mate Wayne Rooney netted just a minute later to see us two nil up. The travelling side pulled one back before Oxlade-Chamberlain made it three one. Georgia tried to produce a late sting in the tail, netting nine minutes from time but we held on.
So the groups came to an end and after our eight group games we've won seven and drawn one, remaining unbeaten and racking up twenty two from a possible twenty four points! The group was never really likely to trouble us but I thought it would be a little closer as we finish eleven points clear of second place Sweden who picked up just eleven points. We also managed to net twenty five times and conceded just four, half of those came in the final group game against Georgia too!
I've been in charge of the England side now for over a year and its been a fantastic stint to date. We've played thirteen games and managed to win twelve of them. drawing that one qualifying game! But that means we are yet to lose a game in my hands, much better than I was doing with the Under nineteens. Also we have netted thirty eight times, conceding just ten.
We played two more friendlies to end the calender year for the England side of 2017. We played nine games through this year and managed to win eight, losing one. We haven't lost now since they lost against Italy in the European Championship final over a year and a half ago. Slovenia came to Wembley where we took a good two nil win. Smalling and Ince from the spot gave us first half goals to seal the win. Four days later we faced Brazil at Wembley and one two one. We were behind in two minutes before an own goal and then Aaron Cresswell's first ever England goal sealed another good win for us.!
The draw for the World Cup has been made ahead of next Summers competition over in Ruissia. Our group will consist or Romania, Guinea and United States of America. I'm sure we will qualify through this stage of the competition. We are currently ranked third in the world with Romania twenty seventh, United States of America forty third and Guinea ranked in thirty fifth.

Our league form has been rather pleasing bar the few slip ups against the big teams who we seem unable to compete with at this moment in time. Six clean sheets in the league through the last three months have been very good for us however the heavy defeats came. We lost three one at Spurs and then five nil at Chelsea! We also lost heavily four one at Anfield. However pleasingly we did beat our fierce rivals Manchester City!
Another two rounds in the Capital One Cup played and another two wins have been raked up to see us reach the Semi Finals. We welcomed Championship side Middlesbrough who we thumped four nil, all the goals coming in the First Half. Then we faced Wigan at home and that tie was just as easy, winning three nil this time with Bowerman, Morrison and Jones all getting on the scoresheet.
The Capital One Cup Semi Final will see us play Championship side Crystal Palace. Over the two legs I more than expect us to reach the Final with ease. The first leg will be played at Selhurst Park early January with the return leg at Old Trafford. We could retain our title here.
The FA Cup Third Round has been a wonderful draw for us and this will see us face Peterborough! Once again a tie I more than expect us to ease through as its also at Old Trafford infront of a big home crowd!
After our slow start at CSKA Moscow we managed to get on a small run and remain unbeaten through our Champions League group. We beat Roma two nil and then Malmo one nil in both games home and away before Drawing our final two games, not the perfect CHampions League run but it was good.
And it was enough to not only see us go through the group but battle away to the top spot as well. We finished on thirteen points, a single point ahead of CSKA Moscow who knick second place. They knocked Roma into the Europa League as they finished a further points behind whilst Malmo failed to pick up any points.
Another good draw, we will face Belgian side Anderlecht and I'm hoping we can make the jump through to the Quarter Finals after this tie. I know we aren't the best side in the competition still but its certainly going to give us a huge chance of advancing into the next round.
And so Manchester City lead the table at the halfway stage with forty five points, however fourth place Chelsea do have two games in hand and can go to the top and two points clear if they win all them. Arsenal are currently second two points behind City and level on points with us as we sit third, behind on goal difference. Its definitely tight at the top, Liverpool are struggling in ninth whilst Spurs are down in sixteenth this season! Aston Villa have failed to win a game in the opening half a season, bottom with just four points, Hull are on nine and Forest have eleven as its rather tight between the bottom three before a eight point gap.
A bit more good news, we are going to make our stadium even bigger should the expansion be approved. We are currently playing in our 91,000+ capacity stadium, Old Trafford with a second expansion on its way. It will take the stadium over the one hundred thousand capacity mark and be easily the biggest in England then! It will cost ten million pounds but well worth it!
*Lost the other screenshot, the training and youth facilities took a step backwards in the summer however I got straight back onto the case and had them re upgraded which has now been completed.

We've had a very good month in the league through January, we began with a tricky trip to Emirates where we battled to a one all draw against Arsenal, we came from behind with Stones netting to get a point. We then went to beat Newcastle two nil, Everton in a seven goal thriller which we won four three, former Everton man Barkley netting the winner. To end the month we travelled to Wigan where we claimed all three points. Zaha and Jones netted first half goals to secure the win.
The Capital One Cup Semi Finals went to plan as expected against Championship side Crystal Palace. Away from home we beat them two nil with Rooney and Jones netting. The second leg at home saw us win two nil, Wayne Rooney netting twice which saw us make the Final where we will meet fierce rivals Manchester City!
Two more rounds have passed in the FA Cup with us excelling through both. The Third Round saw us face Peterborough at home who we easily beat three nil. Our goals came from Zaha (x2) and Welbeck. The Fourth Round saw us face Ipswich who put up a bit of a contest. We led through Smalling before the host levelled. But second half we ran away with it as Rooney netted before Smalling grabbed his second to put us into the Fifth Round where we will face struggling Premier League side Nottingham Forest at home.
The title race is well and truly on! With fourteen games to go Chelsea lead the way with fifty nine points, they have a five point gap over Second place Arsenal and third place Manchester City whilst they have a six point gap over us in fourth. However we have a game in hand and should we win that we can cut Chelsea's lead down to just three points and jump up to second place! Newcastle in fifth are a further five points behind us. Tottenham rise to fourteenth!

Manchester City VS Manchester United
It was to be a clash of the Manchester titans for the Capital One Cup Final in 2018 and it was two very different sides. Manchester City fielded three Englishman, Micah Richards, Jack Robinson and Joe Hart whilst we, we fielded a full eleven as we always do.
What a close game it proved to be! We dominated possession whilst both sides forced plenty of shots. We took the lead ten minutes before the break when Hughes fired us infront. Dier netted for City in the second half and thats how it stayed till the end of the ninety minutes! It also stayed that way till the end of Extra Time as penalties were forced. After five penalties each we were tied at four four. However we went on to triumph as Townsend netted and Nastasic missed to mean we were Champions for a second season running!
I know someone asked to see the youth intake a couple seasons ago if we had any 'hot prospects' come into the side. We have two real stars who could make it big just joined the club. They are Billy Baguley and Taylor Mason.

Very poor to have lost this especially as we were two nil up and then three two up at one point. But we did change the majority of our team just after our break. We went one nil up almost instantly through Phil Jones with a first half goal. Berahino then netted after the break with his first ever England goal. We then made seven substitutes. Spain struck two back before Ince netted one. We then conceded twice late on to end the game four three and face my first defeat as England manager.
The European Championship qualifiers have been drawn ahead of the competition in 2020. We face a tough five team group but one I really expect us still to advance from. We face Sweden who we've beaten twice in my reign already and then are also joined by Wales, Liechtenstein and Montenegro.
Dan
We've had a fantastic second half of the season as we played the remaining fourteen league games and much to my surprise we only lost two of them and that was to Southampton and Liverpool, both away from home. However we did draw another three and win the remaining games including beating Manchester City. The table was close at the end of January and even with this fine run of form for us the table remained tight but would we have done enough to secure the league title?
Another easy run through in the FA Cup saw us walk our way through to the Final. In the Fifth Round we faced Nottingham Forest and eased past the struggling Premier League side, we came out on top two one with our goals coming from Stones and Chamberlain. An away game at Wigan in the Sixth Round who we beat three one. Our goals came from Hughes, Barkley and a late strike from Rooney. The Semi Final at Wembley saw us beat Arsenal two one. Coming back from behind at the break with Welbeck and the Ox knocking them out! And so the Final...
A good game against Chelsea, at Wembley in the FA Cup Final saw us unfortunately beaten one nil! We played well but just didn't take our chances, we created more than Chelsea did despite the London side having the majority of possession but we couldn't take those chances and when Morata netted for Chelsea it spelled the end of our cup run.
OMG we've got to the Champions League Final!! Anderlecht put up a battle and were the only side to beat us in the competition so far this year, we lost one nil in Belgium but battled back to win two nil at home, Rooney had a double, his second in extra time. The Quarter Final saw us face Real Madrid, at Old Trafford we were held to a nil nil draw, not the best result but when we went to Spain and won one nil thanks to a Walker goal in injury time it was all worth it. The Semi Final saw us face Spartak Moscow and we eased passed them four nil on aggregate. We only grabbed a one nil win in Russia but a massive three nil win at home has set up a Final against Arsenal which will be in the next update, leave you hanging like...
No no no no no! Chelsea pipped us to the title by a single point as they retain the Premier League for a second season running whilst we finish second, a point behind them yet a point ahead of Arsenal who finished third in one of the closest Premier League endings ever. Manchester City ended up grabbing fourth place and Champions League football next season but finished ten points off the title. Newcastle, Liverpool and Stoke enter the Europa League, with one more side likely to head that way too. However its despair at the other end of the table as Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Derby all get relegated to the Championship!
Shedender
But, as I did say to you via PM, you would face Arsenal in the Champions League final in what's going to be a very tough game but one I'm sure you can win. Oh and Newcastle finishing above Liverpool in the table is just beautiful to see.

Arsenal VS Manchester United
Well it was to be an 'all English' Final as Arsenal and my Manchester United side went head to head in this years Champions League Final. As always, we sported a full English side, doing it for the country whilst Arsenal, they lined up with two Englishman! Former United player Jonny Evans would start centre back whilst Jack Wiilshere, the one man I can't get, sits centre mid for Arsenal. We lined up with an unusual line up. We've played Arsenal three times this season, beating them twice and drawing one a piece in the other game.
Champions! We may have missed out on the Premier League but we claimed the Champions League at long last! We were the dominant side in this game as soon as we netted inside two minutes through Luke Shaw it appeared to be our game. Arsenal levelled after just six minutes though and then the game went quiet. The winner came in the eighty eighth minute when attacking central midfielder Ross Barkley slotted home a cross to guide us to the Champions League title!

We faced two friendlies a week before the World Cup would begin and they haven't been the most convincing friendlies as we faced both Algeria and Ivory Coast at our home Wembley.We beat Algeria three two with Rooney and Jones guiding us to a two nil lead. Algeria brought it back level after five subs then Rooney won it for us. We then took the lead three times against Ivory Coast and lost it three times as we played out a three all draw. Ince, Shaw and Chalobah netting the goals.
Ahead of the World Cup I had to trim my side down from the original selection to just twenty two players and it proves I showed 'favouritism' towards my very own Manchester United side! Do they not realise we have a full English side at Old Trafford and I have the majority of the latest talent here! Oh well, fifteen of the twenty two players are from Manchester United, lets prove it as worthwhile!

We were brilliant in the groups to kick of our World Cup campaign as we battled to win all three of our group games, opening the competition in fine form. We began against United States as we battered them four nil. Ince, Smalling had two and then Zaha made it the complete four whilst Hart kept a clean sheet. Guinea were the only side to beat our defence in the groups as they levelled after an own goal put us infront. Smalling and Kane then netted in the second half securing the win. We finally faced Romania in the final game where an own goal sent us through with our third win.
And so we topped the group which was obvious having won three out of three games which saw us score eight goals, more than the other teams and conceded just once! This saw us ease to the top of the group, Romania also battled their way through the group, finishing second with six points as they beat United States and Guinea, Guinea failed to pick up a point, finishing bottom of the group.
Our perfect form continued as we made it all the way to the FIFA World Cup Final. We faced Czech Republic in the Second Round who we beat five one. Shaw, Kane and Smalling all netting in the first half. Jones made it four nil before the Czechs pulled one back but Zaha pushed through any doubts of a comeback. We then faced Japan in the Quarter Finals, it wasn't as convincing as it should of been, just the one goal from Tom Ince in the sixty fourth minute enough to send us through. And in the Semi Final we faced Ivory Coast, a side we drew three a piece with in a friendly. But here we were better, a first half goal from Hughes and second half goal from Kane saw us win two nil! We'd face Portugal in the Final...
In Russia it wasn't to be our time to win the FIFA World Cup! Portugal just took their chances which is where we failed. We created thirteen chances, hitting the target with seven shots whilst Portugal had six shots, hitting the target with all but one of them! Whilst possession was even, the second half saw Portugal triumph, Oliveira and Pereira putting the game beyond doubt as Portugal won two nil.
Well the board continue to back me with money even when I haven't spent it really in the last four or five years now. I have been given a transfer budget of two hundred and five million pounds for challenging for the title whilst if I was aiming to win the league the board would up that to two hundred and fifty million pounds! We have over one and a half million pounds spare in wages once again too!

For the World Cup 15 of the 22 players were from United KEZ! Ryan Shawcross, Jack Wilshere, Joe Hart, there are a few players still in the England squad, not playing for me!
Some big deals this summer saw us bring in a little bit of cash before we were to spend pretty much what we made. We saw five departures this summer and four of them were Englishman as I begin to whittle down the squad a little bit. First out the door this summer was James Wilson, he wasn't advancing that much and a one and a half million pound move to Wolves was sealed. We then sold unhappy Ravel Morrison to Norwich for just five million which saw us make a two and a half million pound loss on him. Lukunku was an uprising star and it may cost us selling him to Spurs, however we did make twelve and a half million on him before selling Will Keane to Derby for one point seven million pounds. The biggest talking point will be the departure of thirty three year old striker Wayne Rooney, who joins fellow Premier League side Newcastle in a seven and a half million pound deal.
Just two new players brought in this summer but we managed to spend more than we brought in as we spent out twenty nine million in Southamptons direction to snap up two fine youngsters. Firstly David McGowan joined for six million pounds. The fifteen year old centre back is touted by everyone at the club to be a huge hit in the Premier League in years to come whilst striker Ricky Abraham cost us twenty three million, a lot of money for a nineteen year old but he has been superb for England under twenty ones and I'm sure will shine at Old Trafford.
We then had the usual busy business of the departures on loan and as you can see, once again we've managed to rake in a little bit of money in doing this getting a monthly fee from the respective teams. Both new additions from Southampton will remain there until the end of the season as part of the transfer agreement. Andre Brown and Chris Lavery are both still yet to play for us since joining and face another stint out on loan.
Finally on the pitch wasn't brilliant this year but I blame that down to the World Cup. Obviously pre season was just beginning as we were playing through the latter rounds of the World Cup so most of my team were still away on international duty. We ended up playing eight friendlies and came away with just two wins, three draws and three defeats so form has to pick up quickly as we return to competitive action with the Community Shield against Chelsea.

We currently have three goalkeepers that are highly rated by myself here at Old Trafford. Our number one is obviously Jack Butland, who has been for the last season or two since De Gea's departure. Lewis Nadiello is a nineteen year old star who isn't too far from Butland's ability as he played a fair few games last season for when Butland was injured. Finaly we have young Cheis Lavery who we signed a few seasons ago, out on loan at Burnley now, not sure if he will turn into a Premier League keeper as of yet though, still a good, young keeper.
We have eight defenders on the books currently and when we are mainly playing three at the back we have plenty of cover. Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw have all developed into fantastic players and are the pick of the bunch in our back line, but we also have some young talent growing through the ranks. John Stones, Curtis Charles, Nathanial Chalobah and Emeka Bassey are all fighting for first team places whilst Kyle Walker has deteriorated lately.
Into the middle of the park and we are focusing on defensive and central midfielders, the players who are making things happen and once again we have eight key players in this area. Our key players in this area are Ross Barkley and the new wonderkid on the block James Bowerman who joined us from West Ham a few seasons ago for just seven hundred and fifty thousand pounds, now valued at almost seventeen million! Will Hughes and Nick Powell are also becoming very strong in the centre for us. We also have Andros Townsend and Oxlade Chamberlain who are doing their bit whilst Simon Cos and Kevin Hunter have the potential to grow into something special here at Old Trafford.
Our key attackers this season are Danny Welbeck and the ever improving Wilfried Zaha! Welbeck has the experience whilst Zaha is reaching his peak valued at over thirty million pounds now! We have plenty of youthfulness and potential coming through the ranks to as Mark Ferguson, Ricky Abraham and Owen Dunford have bright futures despite all being out on loan for now getting first team football. Whilst it doesn't look like young Jimmy O'Hara will hit the big time we do have Nico Owen, a young seventeen year old with a bright future. We also have Tom Ince who is still a big part of the team rated at just three stars.

Manchester United VS Chelsea
Once again we will go head to head with Chelsea in the Community Shield and once again they don't name a single Englishman in their starting line up whilst we field our usual English side. Nick Powell and Danny Welbeck were to lead the front line whilst Butland between the sticks had Shaw, Smalling, Jones and Stones in front of him as his wall.
I had to play this game three times! Twice I played through, won it on penalties and had crash dumps and feared I lost the save. Luckily after some fine tuning I got it back and won the Community Shield easily. We took the lead through Tom Ince, netting just after the half hour mark before Hazard levelled five minutes later. Powell fired us back in front two minutes into injury time. Zaha rounded off the scoring, netting on the half hour mark, putting the win beyond doubt and returning the trophy to Old Trafford.

Can only hope United consult you before realising the new kit next time.
Dan
Maybe someone needs to put a word into Man United that there is a new kit maker on the block KEVO! Haha thanks chum, I prefer these than the last ones for sure!
The usual, few more loan deals out the club. I was getting so many I couldn't be bothered to continue charging monthly fees towards the end but we've made some money through loanees.
Very happy with the start we've made to the Premier League this year as we've played our opening three league games and are yet to concede at the back! We started by welcoming Chelsea to Old Trafford and taking a nil nil draw before travelling to Everton where a Luke Shaw goal moments after the break gave us a one nil win. A trip to Southampton rounded off the month where we improved again to win three nil this time. Nico Owen struck his first and second goal in Manchester United colors either side of Wilfried Zaha's first of the season.
Judging by our most recent league victory against Southampton I don't see any reason why we won't extend our unbeaten run over the last two years in the Capital One Cup and make at least the Fourth Round again this year. The Third Round has drawn us on the road at St Marys.
Another trip to Paris awaits us as we are set to play PSG once again this season! They have been drawn alongside us, the current Champions League holders in Group B. We have also been joined by Sparta Praha and Basel, once again I don't see any reason why we won't advance from this group with ease.
Yes! Thats an early double swooped! We clinched the European Super Cup title over our fierce rivals and Europa League holders Manchester City by the skins of our teeth as we went a fourth consecutive game without conceding! It proved to be a fairly even game but Nico Owen' third goal in two games, coming on the stroke of Half Time in Extra Time was enough to clinch it for us! The first time we have been in the competition and we've won it!
