With Chelsea up 1pt and only one game left in the season, the Manchester United faithful were praying for a miracle at Stamford Bridge. Their hopes were crushed 6 minutes into the Chelsea match as Anelka started the first of many goals for Chelsea. While United fans kept an eye on Stamford Bridge the Red Devils put on a stellar performance dominating the pitch left and right. Manchester United had 65% of the possession and 21 shots, 6 on target.

The first 30 minutes were frustrating as the Stoke defense seemed to be holding up well against the United attack. The deadlock would be broken 31 minutes into the match off a corner which was deflected and landed in front of Fletcher who calmly finished it off the line. Minutes later United would counter and Giggs would slot in a pass from Dimitar Berbatov. United headed into half-time up 2-nil, as did Chelsea. “At half-time I accepted the fact they (Chelsea) were going to be champions,” said Sir Alex after the Red Devil’s impressive performance. There was nothing United could do to help Wigan as Chelsea would soon open the flood gates in their 8-0 victory.

Chelsea’s lead over Wigan didn’t stop United from continuing to score. The Red Devils continued to attack the net and would find it in the 54th minute on a deflection that went in. Eventually substitute Ji-Sung Park would score and wrap up the United victory. Today’s match really summed up United’s season. Overshadowed by Chelsea’s record breaking performance United could do nothing but watch as their rivals lifted the trophy this year. Although United stomped all over Stoke City their victory wasn’t as amazing when compared to the 8-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

Now that the season is over Manchester United fans all over the world will be eager to see what new faces will be arriving to Old Trafford this summer. Rooney has called on Sir Alex to make some signings this summer for Untied. “If we can bring in two big-name players in it would give us a good chance of getting the league back,” said the English 24 year-old.
