Manchester United Round-up

In the past week, Manchester United stepped up their conquest for five major trophies this season.

Last Wednesday, Manchester United booked their place in the League Cup Final at Wembley on 1 March 2009 after beating Derby County. Manchester United lost the first leg 1-0 and won the second leg 4-2, to win by a 4-3 aggregate. In the Finals, Manchester United will meet Tottenham Hotspurs, who beat Burnley to reach the Finals.

In the FA Cup Fifth Round match, Manchester United beat Tottenham Hostpurs 2-1 to play either Derby County or Nottingham Forest in the Last 16 Round. The winner of this match will proceed to play in the Quarter Finals. Paul Scholes scored a screamer, his first goal since many months ago.

This evening, Manchester United will play West Brom Albions who sit at the bottom of the league table. On paper, this should be an easy win for Manchester United, but at least eleven players are on the injury list, causing a big headache to Sir Alex. Among the injured players are Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Nani, Anderson,Partice Evra, Park Ji-Sung, Wes Brown, Jonny Evans, Fabio and Rafael da Silva, Owen Hargreaves and Danny Welbeck. The list is missing only a goalkeeper, otherwise they could form another team, of probably equal, or even higher, stature as tonight's opponent. One good news, Cristiano Ronaldo should play tonight.

Just hope Sir Alex can weave his magic again tonight and take us further towards that eighteenth Championships honour.
