Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

FA Cup Fifth Round
Old Trafford, 16 Feb 2008

MANCHESTER UNITED 4
Rooney 16; Fletcher 20, 74; Nani 38

ARSENAL 0

To watch Manutd humiliated Arsenal has been my dream for such a long time. The last time I remember they done it was on 2001 when they crushed them 6-1.

Although my Arsenal’s fan said it is because Arsenal rested some of their first team players but they forget that Manutd also do the same. Even United best player at this moment, Ronaldo was not include!!

What happen last night was not by luck. Sir Alex has known many things about Arsenal game play. They too much depend on their midfield area and they didn’t have any good winger to deliver a good set piece from left or right side of the field. If we look at all Manutd previous match, than we will notice that United were always in trouble when dealing with a good winger such as against Hotspurs when they need to stop Aaron Lennon. You know why??..It is because United left and right defender, Evra and Brown were always go up to support United attacking and slowly going down.

By fielding 5 strong midfielders against Arsenal, then surely Arsenal in trouble! They managed to cancel Febregas quite well..and wallaaaaaa……4-0 !!!..
Although United should scored more than that, especially Rooney..but it is enough to humiliate them and their fan!!!..

Manchester United is rumored to sign new players, Hatem ben Arfa and Karim Benzema from Lyon next season. Although I am not sure either Sir Alex really wants them or this is only another Sir Alex strategy to divert the player’s interest towards their next Champions league match when Manchester United will face Lyon in 2nd round.

If it is true then Fergie will have a closer look at the pair when United face the French side in the Champions League this week – but he did nothing to quell speculation that he is set to move for the £30m-rated Benzema as well as Ben Arfa.

Amid rumours that he has already offered £21m for the player dubbed “the new Zidane”, Fergie described him as a “possibility”.

Benzema has confirmed his first choice is a move to Milan, but admitted he would be tempted by offers from United and Juventus, while Arsenal is also monitoring his progress.

He is high rated, however, I never see him play yet. Maybe I can judge either he is good enough to play for Manutd when Manutd face them next week!

Last weekend, I have a good holiday; however, last night was one of the worst driving day in my life. I am driving from Penang and it is traffic jam all the way from Penang to Kuala Lumpur. Sigghhh.. Normally, it took less than 4 hours of driving but this time…it took almost 11 hours!!!

To make it even worst….. Manutd lose 1-2 at home against Manchester City !!

The match was preceded by a moving minute’s silence to the 23 people who lost their lives in Munich fifty years ago. The team sheet numbered United’s men one to 16, while City stuck to their usual numbering on special commemorative shirts devoid of sponsors’ logos. The Red Devils’ V-neck tops were also a copy of the famous 50’s jerseys worn by the Busby Babes.

Without suspended Rooney and Evra, United seriously missed the energy and attacking intent. Although, it is Ryan Giggs that started the match with promising attack but unluckily, it is City that scored first in 24 minutes and adds the 2nd goal a minute before half time and lets the visitors completed a league double over their neighbours for the first time since 1970 and their first win at Old Trafford since 1974.
