Overhauling Man United...Then Travelling Europe

You didn't even spend what you'd made from selling.

You're without doubt more shrewd than Arsène Wenger himself.

Well done on getting quite a bit of cash for both Danny Welbeck and Tom Ince. Good luck this season.

KEVO my squad is already rather large, I can't buy too many players just yet and I'm too attached to the players in the squad at the moment!

Thanks Shedender, it certainly seemed the right time to sale them both!






Well well well, for the first time in god knows how many seasons I have fielded a couple foreign players. The all English squad is no more as two of the new signings began this game against Chelsea. Chelsea fielded their usual full foreign side and we knew it wouldn't be easy to be the side who finished second in the Premier League this year.


Well, we did it but not by much! A narrow Community Shield win at Wembley in front of a full capacity crowd will do me though. We led through Zaha after thirteen minutes but a second half equaliser from Chelsea' Pereira saw it go all the way to a shootout. We seem to be shootout kings as we win another one here. We netted all five of our penalties as Zaha, Nicolas, Gutierrez, Hughes and Bowerman all converte calmly, seeing us beat Chelsea five four on penalties.

Wow, luckily the Community Shield is a "glorified friendly" because that was an awful performance, well done on winning it though.

Good start to the season by winning the Community shield!

Yeah we were lucky Shedender but done what we had to come the end!

Thanks George!




The usual, few more loan deals out the club and the biggest one you will probably pick out is Phil Jones to Middlesbrough. Don't be fooled, its the young Phil Jones I signed a few seasons ago as we have him going out to find some first team football.


Pleased with how we have started this season, picking up three wins from three and the best outcome possible, nine points. We began by welcoming Southampton, claiming a three one win. Our goals came from Bowerman, Jones and new signing Iancu on his debut. We conceded in the second half. We then welcomed Reading and produced another fine display with a three nil win. Goals form Jones and Iancu for the second game running along with Nicolas getting his first for the club. We ended the month with our first away game of the season, a trip to Wigan, winning one nil as Iancu netted for a third striaght game running!


League One side Wycombe will await us in the League Cup Third Round. We will travel to them and hopefully put a few goals past them. Afterall it was the competition we failed to win last year, knocked out in the Semi Finals by Manchester City. If we want to go one better than last year and win all seven trophies, we need this one.


In my first or second season I may have feared this group a little, but now I have a settled and very good squad, I'm more than confident we can outdo this group and win it easily. We have been drawn with German side Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Anderlecht and Basel.


Yes! Thats an early double swooped already once again! We have managed to retain our European Super Cup with this narrow two nil win over Spanish giants and Europa League holders Valencia. We went one nil up just after the second half began when Iancu netted his fourth goal in four games before a late Jose Enrique own goal secured is for us.

We played Wales away from England in the European Qualifiers and its been a good game, another one that we won, two nil this time. We took the lead moments before the break through Smalling and it was a late goal to seal the win to. Another United player Zaha this time, securing the two nil victory.


Our job is done in this group! We've played six and won al six in this group as we continue to walk through it, just two more games to play until we can look towards the Euros next year! Second place Wales aren't through yet, they are second but joint on points with third place Sweden however the Swedes have played a game less. It will be between them two now on who qualifies.


We then played a brief friendly, we welcomed twenty first ranked in the world South Africa where we claimed a two one win in this close game. Once again we took the lead just before the break through Wilshere. South Africa levelled eight minutes after the restart however a late goal from Nick Powell, ofthe bench, secured the win.

Great win over Valencia chum, surprised they didn't have a shot on target, were they that bad?

Lost update

Decent start to a season and a very healthy goal difference which can always come in handy.

Thanks pntaylor, its been down to how crucial how backline is at times!


We faced Liechtenstein in our penultimate European Qualifying game and we were fantastic claiming a massive seven nil victory. Ince netted inside two minues to get the ball rolling before Rooney netted wice and Wilshere made it four nil before the interval. Bowerman took the centre stage though, coming off the bench in the seventieth minute and going on to net a three minute hatrick! Super sub!


Against Sweden we weren't as good, it was our final game of the groups and managed to come back from one goal down to win two one. Sweden took a seventeenth minute lead. After the break we battled back with Rooney and Wilshere netting within two minutes of each other as we went to win two one.


The perfect group campaign for us. We have played eight and won all eight, scoring twenty five goals whilst conceding just four, this is why we are ranked second in the World right now. Wales take second place and are qualified as they finished three points ahead of Sweden in third who qualify for a playoff spot. Montenegro miss out by a further three points whilst Liechtenstein finish bottom, without a point and conceding a whopping thirty four over the campaign of the season.


Two friendlies in November would end the calender year for my Three Lions who went on to win them with ease. We facde eighteenth rankde Senegal at Wembley and overcome them easily, winning three one. Rooney netted early on before Welbeck and Berahino grabbed second half goals which was followed by a late Senegal goal. We then welcomed Tahiti, a friendly I arranged to end the year on a high and we beat them four nil but could of had so many more. Shaw opened the scoring before Newcastle striker Martyn Kenyon netted two goals either side of Ince netting. Kenyon now has two goals from his first ever England appearance.

Good thumping win over Liechtenstein, as expected.

Impeccable success on both counts. Very nicely done.

Cheers Shedender, it was the big victory we were looking for an could of had more!

Thanks Number 1! Its all going to plan so far.




Well the Club World Cup Semi Final clash against Al-Gharrafa provided little competition for us. We were fantastic, Iancu gave us the fourth minute lead before the host levelled but shortly after Smalling made it two one. Iancu made it three one with his second before Gutierrez made it four one come the break. Second half Iancu was given his hatrick before Belgian striker Nicolas sealed the six one win.


We've sealed the treble this season with a two one win in the Club World Cup Final. We took the lead through Barkley just before the break. Second half Flamengo levelled within eight minutes of the restart. We were poor and didn't convert chances. Iancu went on to net the winner in Extra Time from the penalty spot! We were Champions.

Congratulations on winning the CWC chum, proving that you are the best team in the world.

We sure are Shedender! Three competitions down! Four to go!




We've not had a bad few months bar a few careless draws stepping in especially towards the end, drawing three league games on the bounce. But overall we've remained unbeaten since the start of October, seeing us with just the one defeat to our name so far this season and that was against Fulham earlier in the year.


We've managed to ease past both Wigan and Blackpool by the same scoreline in the Fourth Round and Quarter Finals. We beat Wigan two nil with Belgian striker Nicolas netting both the goals. We then most recently beat Blackpool in the Quarter Finals two nil with goals coming from Abraham and Nicolas. We will face Derby in the Semi Finals, the round we went out in last season!


We will also face Derby in the FA Cup Third Round, having played them just once this season, beating them one nil away from home. We now have another four games to play against them over the remainder of the season with three of those games coming up in January!


An unbeaten Champions League run in the groups has been fantastic for us. As you know we beat Anderlecht six nil and that got the ball rolling. We went on to beat Leverkusen one nil in Germany, Basel three one at home and two nil away from home. We then beat Anderlecht two nil away from home before ending the group stage with a one all draw at home against Leverkusen.


This saw us walk through the group, beating Leverkusen to the top spot by three points! We were the only two sides to go all out thought the competition. Leverkusen finished on thirteen points whilst Basel and Anderlecht finish third and fourth respectively both finishing on just three points as they've had torrid times this year.


Portuguese side, Porto, will meet with us in the First Knockout Round in the Champions League. We will travel to Portugal for the First Leg meaning the all important second leg will be at our massive one hundred thousand seater capacity stadium which could be the difference!


It may look a little bleak but its not as bad as it initially looks. We go into the New calender year sitting fourth but we do have games in hand and they could be absolutely vital. We sit just seven points behind league leaders Manchester City with two games in hand which could and should see us close the gap to a single point. Arsenal and trailing City by three points with Chelsea a further point behind. However both have played a game more than the league leaders. Liverpool are struggling down in fourteenth!

Its fair to say KEVO, Shedender and Poe are going to be delighted as I've taken my spending up to three hundred million pounds this season as I've brought in five new signings in January to strengthen the squad for the remainder of the season. First in through the January window was Andrea Mastrantonis a twenty six year old Greek left back costing us forty five million pounds from Fiorentina. Gurazy Zorlu was next in, the Turkish left midfielder has some real quality and he was the cheapest signing this January, just twenty three million from Sevilla. Transfer deadline day saw us scoop three more players. We took Gabriel Barbos and Doria from AC Milan, costing us one hundred and four million for the pair plus Alex Oxlade Chamberlain going the other way. The Brazilian striker and centre back will be fantastic additions to the squad whilst we ended the window with the addition of Jurgen Grob. The German midfielder has plenty of quality arriving from Real Madrid and set us back a whopping seventy million pounds, but the twenty two year old will have a huge season. I know these players are likely to be cup tied for Champions League action, but it will allow me to rest some of my key players already in the team as we approach the tough run ins!


Seven more loan deals out of the club with a few of them seeing us make more money this January. We also saw Jordan Thompson join Cardiff for less than one hundred thousand pounds. We also sold unused central midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah for six and a half million pounds to Valencia whilst as already discussed, Chamberlain heads over to Milan.


Four more Premier League games have been played but we've fallen to our second defeat of the season following a careless display against Reading. We began Januarys league action by beating Wigan two one, Iancu and Charles netting for us. We then losing two one away at Reading before we won our remaining two games, Liverpool lost out to us two nil before we beat Fulham this time around three two were young Belgian striker Nicolas netted.


Our two games against Derby in the Capital One Cup Semi Final and two well deserved victories. At home we beat the Rams one nil, Iancu netting the only goal of the game, nine minutes before the break. Away from home we claimed a three one victory, Will Hughes netted twice before the competitions second top scorer, Nicolas, secured the three one win and our spot in the Final. We will face Manchester City in the Final, the fierce rivals who knocked us out in the Semi Finals last season.


And a third win against Derby in sixteen days came this month as we beat them two nil in the FA Cup Third Round. Another home tie for them but one they couldn't handle our early pace. Smalling and Jones both netted in the opening twenty five minutes to see us through. We then travelled to Reading for a second time this month, a this time managed to beat them with a confident three one scoreline. Smalling once again netting before central midfielder Gutierrez made it two one just before the break. A second half own goal secured the three one victory. In the FA Cup Fifth Round we are finally at home and welcome Championship side MK Dons.


We are still down in fourth come the end of January but have the games in hand to take us right back into the title race. Manchester City have now played twenty four games this season and lead the way over Chelsea by eight points already whilst Arsenal are behind on goal difference but have played a game more than Chelsea and City. We are fourth with three games in hand and trail City by ten points, meaning we win our three games in hand we can go a point behind. Stoke are ssitting fifth, looking for a place in Europe next season whilst Spurs and sixth and Liverpool are still in fifteenth.

What are your thoughts on me loading some more European countries and going round the bigger teams in Europe? Or would you prefer to see me stay at United...Let me know your thoughts...

Stay at United bud and achieve greatness!!

All of those players you've signed look like beasts and should do very well.

Big amounts spent in the transfer window, hope they flop.

Stay at United, maybe try to achieve Legend status on the club info?

stay with united Dan

Great signings! I would stay at United

Be interesting to at least give equalling the SAF trophy cabinet a go

Thanks for your advice KEVO! I will take it in mind, they are great and deservedly the price I had to pay for them!

They will be great, your just a touch sour because your Rangers side are awful Shedender

Okay pntaylor, I appreciate your views

Thanks JamieTG

Thanks George, its looking likely I will!

That could well be the new target Number1!





It was to be the same Final from 2018, United vs City, the Semi Final from last year which City went on to win. We were up for it this year, naming a very strong side with new January signings, Doria, Grob and Barbaso all starting against City. City had the well known Javier Hernandez upfront whilst England number one keeper Joe Hart in goal.


The Final wasn't a thriller thats for sure but we had done enough, just, to claim the Capital One Cup back and our fourth trophy of the season! We were the better side throughout the game but never were able to make the decisive break through in normal time. We eventually went on to win the game in the one hundredth a sixth minute. Phil Jones nodding home a corner just after the restart.


The new youth intake has come and we have a couple players that could be future stars here at Old Trafford, only if they develop in the right way over the next few years though. Central midfielder Danny Dunford could potentially get somewhere in the future and more than likely central midfielder Steven Dames will be a huge hit here in the future! Thats the plan anyway! I've signed anyone recommended by my assistant!

Go German or Spanish Dan!

Boring cup final! I played better against Barcelona ffs.

I think in a few years I will move to Germany or Spain Bigbillzy!

It wasn't an amazing Final Shedender, we done what we needed to though!




We went into the second half of the season sitting fourth and looking to capatalise now on our remaining league fixtures. However with us in the other competitions too it would see a busy run in. We lost just once in our remaining league games, taking our tally to three league defeats all season. We recorded good wins against Derby (4-1), Manchester City (5-2) and Wolves (4-1). However come the end of the season, the final week saw us play five games in the league in just eight days!!


We've reached the FA Cup Final for the sixth year running and will face Chelsea once again in the Final We managed to beat MK Dons but only by a single goal, coming from Barbosa. We then battled to beat Manchester City over two games as we saw a two all draw at home see City earn a replay. In the replay centre back Doria netted the only goal to send us through. The Semi Final was good to us too, we faced Stoked who we beat three nil, Barbos getting another two which saw us reach the Final where we'd face Chelsea...


The Final was another close one but this time we were to retain our FA Cup winners status, beating Chelsea two goals to nil. We took an early lead and that was through Luke Shaw after just nineteen minutes, Chelsea lost Willian to injury during the goal whilst we went on to lose inspirational defensive midfielder Phil Jones. We carried on battling and a goal from Bowerman from the spot kick put us two goals ahead and saw us cross the line! Champions!


We've managed to make it to the Champions League Final for a third season running, but in all three of the knockout rounds here we picked up draws. We travelled to Porto in the First Knockout Round, drawing one a piece and then drawing nil nil at home, but this was enough to see us through on away goals. It was pretty much the same story in the Quarter Finals against City, we drew two all away from home and then one all at home, meaning once again we went through on away goals. The Semi Final saw us face our fellow group opposition Leverkusen, where we narrowly one. Nil nil in Germany set up for a close game at Old Trafford, which we won one nil thanks to a Morgan Schneiderlin own goal three minutes after the break. We will face Chelsea again this season, in the Champions League Final!


Champions! Thats trophy six of seven ticked off this season and just the Champions League Final to come! We ended up winning the league by a massive ten points over second place Chelsea and third place Manchester City who were seperated by goal difference only, whilst Arsenal finished fourth wrapping up the final Champions League spots. Stoke, Newcastle and more than likely Tottenham go into the Europa League next season whilst a worrying season for Liverpool saw them finish in sixteenth place, just five points infront of the dropzone. Cardiff, West Brom and Huddersfield will go down this season.

Well done on more trophies! Best of luck in the champions league final! You beat Chelsea to the title and in the FA cup so you have a great chance.

Jesus how bad have Liverpool become!!

Only just avoided relegation.

They're doing rubbish and Dan isn't even managing them.

But well done on winning the league title chum, a good (but expected I suppose) achievement, now we all expect you to splash the cash again but I wouldn't be surprised if you're given a smaller transfer budget for next season, also well done on the FA Cup success and good luck in the Champions League final.
