Manchester United vs. Ajax Amsterdam

Manchester United vs. Ajax. This match is supposed to be a great tie but the 2-0 loss for Ajax at Amsterdam , is a great setback and I do not think that this would be a very important game and Man. Utd. will take it a little less seriously than they took the last match at Amsterdam in Holland.

Having A Great Time!!

The injury of Rooney , I think so will heap up the pressure on Manchester United supporters and players. The match will still be very important for Ajax as they will think that they still have a chance to win against the English Champions , by goal difference or come close by even a 2-0 win at the Old Trafford. United , will now be looking to thrash Ajax and be as ruthless as they earlier were with their golden strikers.

Prediction of Squad - 

GK: David De Gea

LB:Patrice Evra

RB:Phil Jones

CB:Rio Ferdinand (Captain)

CB:Evans

CM:Michael Carrick

CM:Ryan Giggs

RM:Luis Nani

LM:Ashley Young

ST:Javier Hernandez

ST:Dimitar Berbatov

900 for the good.

This game will also feature Ryan Giggs's 900th appearance with Manchester United , a feat never ever achieved by any footballer , second to Ryan Giggs in the appearance chart is Eric Cantona. United may win big with the unusual captaincy of Manchester United veteran Rio Ferdinand.

My Prediction - Manchester United 3 - 0 Ajax

Match on 01:30 am  IST

Life Without Sir Alex

I am warning every Manchester United that life without Sir Alex would be really very tough. The problem because of the shifting of managers and their poor results many teams are facing , including Chelsea.


But the same problem is not faced by the top 4 of this Premier League , and if you realize , then you will see that there is no shifting of managers in the top 4 of the table. Actually Manchester United have been doing well in the past 25 years and it is so easy to win titles in alternate years because of Sir Alex Ferguson. This great personality , I think is the cause to Manchester United's success. After winning a total of 12 Barclays Premier League Titles in 25 years this Scottish man is also known as the greatest manager in the world ever.


After Sir Alex leaves Man. Utd. , it would be the toughest thing to do - searching a duplicate like Sir Alex , actually it should be impossible , until and unless Ryan Giggs emerges as the next super manager.. Many people , are also suggesting Jose Mohrinho but actually you cannot replace Sir Alex , let me tell you and make the reader sure of this.

Is Sir Alex the Greatest Manger

Well , if you ask me this question then I would say yes , right away. But many people would think about this question time and time again and think about other managers , and yes there are many great managers leaving Sir Alex.


Some people might suggest , Pep Guardiola , Jose Mourinho and also some might say Fabio Capello and Harry Redknapp. But why Sir Alex is named as the greatest manager in the history of football? Well , one reason is that he has managed a great club like Manchester United for over 25 years and has also many times exceeded expectations. 


Sir Alex is a man who makes his team play in an absolutely perfect manner. He knows which combination is required against which team , and he knows the perfect squad. he also has a lot of experience which has also helped. Moreover , the young players he has and the youth academy he has set up. He does not spend money but creates players and side by side also wins many titles ,  which surely makes the owner happy.





Other coaches , like Jose Mourinho work on the money that they get from the owners. Jose Mourinho is a coach who makes his team play super defensive and so whenever he goes to a team like Real madrid in which there are attacking players , like Ronaldo , he cannot gel well with the team.

This shows that Sir Alex is the perfect coach and can gel up with any team , a team having or not having money , a good or a bad team , it does not matter to him at all. He is one of the greatest managers of his generation , according to me.

Say Bye to Two Kings

I had written about the coming of these kings. The Return of The Kings. Now , Farewell to two really great players , Thierry Henry and well the Wales great Robbie Keane. Both of them produced another magic , whih they earlier did Thierry Henry with Arsenal and Robbie Keane with Tottenham Hotspurs. According to me , the were really great in their mid 30's but it looked like they were as young as 20 years old!


These players put in beautiful performances and were at their best and there was no doubt about that. Now let us see the goals they scored for their respective clubs , Arsenal and Aston Villa.


Robbie Keane


1.) Robbie Keane's brace against Wolverhampton Wanderers to come back from 2-1 down to win 3-2.
2.) Robbie Keane also scored a goal against Newcastle United which could have been very important but Aston Villa in the end lost 2-1 in the game.


Thierry Henry


1.) Well it seems like a fairytale but it is true that the Arsenal legend scored in his debut in his return to Arsenal. He scored the winner for the London side against Leeds United after he clinically finished like he did earlier. Arsenal won the match 1-0.


2.) He scored his first league goal since 2006 against Blackburn Rovers. Arsenal thrashed them 7-1 at the Emirates.



3.)He scored his third and the last goal in a fairytale way yet again when he scored in the stoppage time for Arsene Wenger's men against Sunderland , in the final few minutes of his Premier League adventure. Arsenal won that match 2-1 as Henry scored the winner in the 91'st minute.

Antonio Valencia Blow

Well , I think so the Antonio Valencia blow is the biggest blow , if you see the injury list. Antonio Valencia as been a very very delightful and consistent player for Manchester United. Many of the fans would not understand anything by hearing this news but when they will see a game , that time they will understand what this man means to the English Champions.


United will surely be able to cope up but it will surely take a lot of pains as there are important games like Tottenham Hotspurs , Ajax Amsterdam and of course if Manchester United progress to the next round , which they probably will , the UEFA Europa League Round of 16. United have lost the ruthlessness that every player had earlier in the squad , during the times of Cristanio Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. Now just 6 to 7 of them have that power and one of them is Antonio Valencia.

Super Antonio

The way this Manchester United talisman carries the ball forward is really impressive and the way he cuts the defenders is outstanding and his tricks are also one of the best according to me. Moreover , I feel that his crosses are brilliant , actually I would say that they re the best in the BPL (Barclays Premier League). He is one of the very best wingers of his generation and losing him is the worst thing that could happen to the club.

A Reason for United to like Europa League

Well , many people would think that the going of Manchester United is a bane if they want to beat FC Barcelona , but I think something else. I think that United will find a way to fight off FC Barcelona.


Let us see what will happen in the Champions League. United qualify for the knockout stages. They meet a weak team and easily progress. But in the quarters or semis they fight one of the better teams and get knocked out and Barcelona clinch the title. Surprising is not it?

Now , let us take a look at the Europa League. United fight on and beat the teams very easily , take on Manchester City and most probably defeat them and win the Europa League while Barcelona have the Champions Trophy.  They go and meet in the Super Cup which gives the Red Devils hope to win against the Spanish side. If the do not win then they can both go to the Club World Cup and show who is the actual winner! Isn't it amazing.

Chelsea vs. Manchester United

It was a marvelous match. A game exactly the way a real Manchester United vs. Chelsea should have been just except the start. The start was not the way I thought it would be. But the game started to get its shape after the own goal from Jonny Evans. Then Chelsea started to haunt the Manchester United players and staff after Chelsea scored 2 brilliant goals.

 It looked that Manchester United had no way back but then a controversial penalty which Wayne Rooney superbly put in the back of the net lifted the Red Devils' hopes. Then yet again United got a penalty after another controversial penalty and Wayne Rooney again scored a goal to put The Red Devils in a very pleasing position. Then United scored yet again to make it 3-3  and a shock for Chelsea and a delight for Manchester United. But still the game went on and more thrillers came especially a freekick from Mata which David De Gea had a tough time saving the shot.

Is Manchester United the Best Team In the World?

Is Manchester United the best team in the world?According to me , no but yes it is the one of the top 5 teams in the world.According to me these are the top 5 teams.


1.)F.C Barcelona
2.)Manchester City
3.)Manchester United 
4.)Chelsea
5.)Real Madrid C.F


Well , I am a Manchester United fan and I admit that it is not the best team in the world , but why? Manchester United have the variety of players , brilliant combination of passes and through balls , wonderful shot takers like Wayne Rooney , and of course the young talent and Sir Alex Chapman Ferguson. But United are not ruthless without England star , Wayne Rooney , according to me , except just a few special matches. United do not have the perfect players which F.C Barcelona or Manchester City have. 


Barcelona have a wonderful playmaker , of course Xavi and Iniesta , a beautiful finisher , Alexis Sanchez and David Villa , a strong defender , Puyol and of course a wonderful dribbler and goalscorer Lionel Messi.
Manchester City to have a playmaker David Silva , a finisher , Mario Baletolli and Dzeko , a good defender , Vincent Kompany and a good goalscorer , Kun Aguero. Both the teams also have a wonderful keeper to save the shots the other team put up.


But Manchester United lack in some of these categories. They do not have a great finisher as Javier Hernandez is out of form. They do not have a good goalkeeper as David De Gea and Anders Lindergaard always fail to perform.


Then what should Manchester United do to be the best team in the world and remove F.C Barcelona of my best 5 teams list? Well Manchester United , according to me should shell out some money and buy good goalkeepers , capable of producing something good. United should buy the likes of Clint Dempsey or another good finisher like the out of form , Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov. And I think they should do this even more when the money is available from the Galzers.



I think this should be put on Manchester United's account at the earliest , before they start losing their position in the club world ranking or even become the best team in the world!
