Jan 4 
RIO Ferdinand may be fast-tracked to a new Manchester United contract in the 
summer amid renewed speculation of a big money bid from Chelsea. By July the 
Reds' £30m defender will have completed three of the five years on the deal he 
signed in 2002 when he joined for a record transfer fee from Leeds United. It 
is not normal Old Trafford policy to start negotiations over new terms 
until a player's current contracts have around 18 months left to run. 

Manchester United 0 Tottenham Hotspur 0 
TOTTENHAM were robbed of their first Old Trafford victory for 16 years by an 
atrocious blunder from a referee's assistant - but Manchester United's Barclays 
Premiership title charge was still blown off course by tonight's stalemate. 
With time running out, Roy Carroll rushed well out of his area to make a 
clearance. After a brief flurry around the half-way line, the ball eventually 
fell to Pedro Mendes who from fully 60 yards launched a shot at the United goal 
as the home goalkeeper tried to recover his ground. The Northern Irishman 
managed that task but then dropped the ball behind him, with TV replays showing 
it landed a yard over the line.

Jan 13 
Jose takes swipe at Sir Alex 
JOSE Mourinho accused Sir Alex Ferguson of influencing referee Neale Barry with 
a half-time tete-a-tete as his Chelsea side had to settle for a Carling Cup 
draw with Manchester United. The Blues boss was fuming at Ferguson accompanying 
Barry down the tunnel and claimed the official gave the visitors favourable 
decisions during the rest of the game, accusing United of diving to gain them. 

Jan 15 
Liverpool 0 Manchester United 1 
WAYNE Rooney was ten-man United's hero after an error of judgement by Liverpool 
goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek allowed the visitors to complete a double over their 
north-west rivals. United showed the class and quality required to beat 
Liverpool both at home 
and away for the second time in three seasons, but they were also grateful for 
Dudek's mistake. 

Jan 19 
Exeter 0 Manchester United 2 
MANCHESTER United kept their nerve on a tense and windswept night to beat 
battling Exeter and progress to the FA Cup fourth round. Cristiano Ronaldo put 
the Reds ahead after just nine minutes of the replay and the visitors looked to 
be on cruise control. The nerves were finally settled in the 87th minute when 
Wayne Rooney rounded goalkeeper Paul Jones to seal the tie. 

Jan22 
Manchester United 3 Aston Villa 1 
REDS hitman Louis Saha scored his first league goal of the season as United 
overcame a first half wobble to secure their ninth win in eleven Premiership 
matches. Cristiano Ronaldo had given Sir Alex Ferguson's men the flying start 
they were seeking, only for Gareth Barry to smash a perfect United defensive 
record stretching to almost 14 hours not long after the re-start. After a few 
brief moments of panic, Louis Saha restored order with his first league goal of 
the campaign before Paul Scholes netted a minute later to seal the Red Devils 
ninth win in 11 Premiership outings. 

Jan 26 
Manchester United 1 Chelsea 2 
FOR the second time in nine months, Jose Mourinho sauntered into the Theatre of 
Dreams and created a nightmare for Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson still 
shudders at the memory of Porto's shock Champions League victory at his side's 
expense last season. Now Mourinho has moved much closer to home and proceeded 
to wreck Ferguson's impeccable domestic semi-final record tonight as Damien 
Duff's late winner booked Chelsea a Carling Cup final date with Liverpool and 
kept them on target for an unlikely quadruple. 

Jan 29 
United 3 Boro 0 
WAYNE Rooney scored two stunning second-half goals to fire Manchester United 
into the FA Cup fifth round and leave Middlesbrough gasping in disbelief. Boro 
were still clinging on to an outside hope of a replay midway through the second 
period until Rooney seized command with a brilliant brace which will be talked 
about for years to come. Rooney's stunning late efforts eclipsed what looked 
sure to be a man-of-the-match display from fellow teenager Cristiano Ronaldo, 
who toyed with the Teessiders for over an hour and producing a masterclass 
which left a capacity crowd purring in appreciation. 

Feb 1 

Arsenal 2 Manchester United 4 
MANCHESTER United effectively ended Arsenal's title hopes after a titanic 
tussle at Highbury. Even though Mikael Silvestre was sent off with 20 minutes 
left of a tempestuous encounter that was fuelled by bad blood, Sir Alex 
Ferguson's side still held on for a notable victory. Despite going behind twice 
at Highbury as Patrick Vieira and Dennis Bergkamp scored, United still 
equalised through Ryan Giggs and then Cristiano Ronaldo. With Ronaldo putting 
United ahead, not even Silvestre's red card was enough to deflect them from 
their path, with John O'Shea rounding off victory with a chip after a 
breathless encounter. 

Keane explains Vieira tunnel row 
MANCHESTER United skipper Roy Keane revealed his pre-match tunnel spat with 
Patrick Vieira was sparked because the Arsenal skipper was "having a go" at 
Gary Neville.

performance against battling Birmingham and ensured the Red Devils kept up the 
pressure on leaders Chelsea. 


Feb 13 

Man City 0 Man United 2 
WAYNE Rooney propelled Manchester United back to within nine points of 
Premiership leaders Chelsea with a derby-day man of the match display in the 
2-0 win over Manchester City at Eastlands. Always the major Red Devils 
attacking threat, Rooney put the visitors in 
front midway through the second period when his attempt to steer home Gary 
Neville's cross flicked into the net off Richard Dunne. And Dunne was the 
unlucky man again eight minutes later when, at full stretch trying to deal with 
Rooney's looping cross, he could only guide the ball into the far corner. 

Feb 19 

Everton 0 Manchester United 2 
WAYNE Rooney's return to Everton took second place to an impressive Manchester 
United display as they cruised into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Although 
all the pre-match hype was over Rooney's return to Goodison Park, it was 
Quinton Fortune and Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the goals for United. 

Feb 23 
Manchester United 0 AC Milan 1 
MANCHESTER United’s recurring goalkeeping nightmare returned to haunt them at 
Old Trafford as Roy Carroll’s howler sent the Red Devils spinning to the brink 
of Champions League elimination. When Carroll spilled Clarence Seedorf’s drive 
at the feet of Hernan Crespo 12 minutes from time in this 1-0 home defeat he 
was repeating the kind of mistake which has scarred Sir Alex Ferguson over the 
past 12 months. 

Feb 26

Premiership title race tonight just as Portsmouth threatened to push Chelsea

Mar 12

history books with a sixth round stroll at Southampton. 

Mar 16 
Essien eyes Manchester United future 
LYON'S outstanding midfielder Michael Essien has revealed his desire to join 
Manchester United. The 22-year-old Ghanaian has excelled during Lyon's charge 
to the Champions League quarter-finals and twice caught the eye of Sir Alex 
Ferguson with 
impressive performances against the Red Devils in the group phase. And now he 
has given United the green light to make an approach by claiming that one day 
he sees his future at Old Trafford. "I like Manchester," he told Sky Sports 
News. 

Mar 19 
Manchester United 1 Fulham 0 
MANCHESTER United survived a heart-stopping late scare to clinch victory over 
Fulham at Old Trafford, only to find they are almost certainly battling for

effort proved enough to give 
United one of those single-goal victories on which Chelsea's charge to the 
championship has been built.

the line after United easily dismissed a hapless Newcastle side. 

Apr 20 
Everton 1 Manchester United 0 
MANCHESTER United crashed to their second successive Premiership defeat at 
Goodison Park and finished the game with nine men. Both Gary Neville and Paul 
Scholes received their marching orders as Everton managed a league victory over 
their illustrious opponents for the first time in 10 years. It was Duncan 
Ferguson who got the winner a decade ago and the giant Scot scored the decider 
again, early in the second half to send the home supporters crazy. 

Apr 24 
Manchester United 2 Newcastle 1 
WAYNE Rooney's stunning second-half volley sparked an inspired Manchester 
United comeback as they recorded their second win in a week over injury-ravaged 
Newcastle. The Magpies looked set to avenge their FA Cup semi-final defeat in 
Cardiff when Darren Ambrose's excellent finish gave them a half-time lead. But, 
after Gabriel Heinze had been stretchered off with a serious-looking 
ankle injury, Rooney levelled with a stunning 25-yard effort before Wes Brown 
nodded home only the second goal of his United career to end the hosts' 
two-match Barclays Premiership losing streak. 

  May 1 
Charlton 0 Manchester United 4 
Manchester United kept up the pressure on Arsenal for the Barclays Premiership 
runners-up spot with a comfortable 4-0 win at Charlton. Paul Scholes and Darren

Smith and Wayne Rooney completed the scoring midway through the second period 
to give Charlton debutant 'keeper Stephan Andersen a day he would certainly 
never forget. 

May 7 
Manchester United 1 West Brom 1 
UNKNOWN keeper Tomasz Kuszczak proved an unlikely West Brom hero as Bryan

with a precious point. Robert Earnshaw's second-half penalty earned the 
visitors a share of the spoils after Ryan Giggs had opened United's account 
midway through the opening period. 

May 10 
Manchester United 1 Chelsea 3 
NEWLY-crowned Premiership champions Chelsea lived up to their billing with a

two sides, despite a gap that now stretches to 20 points in the league. 

May 12 
Glazer closing on United 
MALCOLM Glazer is within touching distance of completing his £790million 
buy-out of Manchester United after capturing the key 28.9% stake of Irish

May 13 
Glazer makes formal bid

been required to offer his £3 per share deal to the remaining shareholders. 

May 15 
Southampton 1 Man United 2 
MANCHESTER United finished a difficult week off the pitch with victory on it as 
they sent Southampton down at St Mary's. With American business tycoon Malcolm 
Glazer having gained the balance of power at United, football has been 
overshadowed at the Old Trafford club 
this week. There was more cause for concern when John O'Shea scored an 
own-goal, but Darren Fletcher and Ruud Van Nistelrooy ensured the Reds finished 
a disappointing Premiership season with a victory.

more. 

May 23

United shares - more than the 97.6% needed for complete control.

2009.

Devils' title hopes were all but ended at the Riverside. The visitors were

worse after the interval and they can be thankful they suffered no further

United's consolation - their 1000th in the Premiership - in the dying minutes.

Keane controversy

Dec 11 
United 1 Everton 1 
THE pressure on beleaguered Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson continues to mount 
after United were held to a draw by Everton at Old Trafford. Bundled out of

Giggs had levelled James McFadden's early strike leaves them 12 points adrift 
of runaway leaders Chelsea as they head towards the festive fixtures period. 

Dec 14
