Now 1/3 of the season passed, 13 matches, 11 win, 1 loss and 1 draw, very good start. The most important thing is Sir Ferguson has found a solid and consistent starting lineup: Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra as back four, this quartet only allowed 7 goals in 13 matches, the least in the league. The middle field has a diamond shape, Scholes in the front to organize offense; Carrick in the back to help defense; Giggs on the left side and Ronaldo on the right side, the best side offense ever. The forwards are Saha and Rooney. The good part about manutd’s offense now is they have a lot of offense players in the front who can both score and pass. Sir Ferguson was using the same lineup for the last two matches, i have to say they were pretty hard matches, but manutd managed to win in the end.
Next Tuesday, Manutd will go to visit Celtics, 1 point will get Manutd through the next stage. Next Sunday they will face Chelsea at Old Trafford.
