So the final word is that United will meet Chelsea if they get past Everton tomorrow and book a place in the FA Cup. One thing is for certain--it will be a difficult match if if materialises. There is something about Guss Hiddink that make his teams hard to beat. More on that if we get to the final anyway. About the semifinal, it seems to be almost certain that Wayne Rooney will be missing for us against Everton. He must have broken something in the game against Porto and it's unlikely that Fergie will risk him when he has options. I think that Fergie can rotate all he likes in the middle and in attack, but he should keep the defence as consistent as possible. Young Rafael has returned to training so he should cover for Brown instead of O'Shea. The Englishman himself is almost ready to come back so that would give us our strongest defence for the first time this season going into the the very hectic final lap of the season. We have an important league game on Wednesday so hopefully, the Eerton tie will not take a lot from the players. The thing with United's schedule over the next few weeks is that it's a bit tough on a team that have played the most football in Europe. With games against Arsenal and tough EPL opponents like Spurs and Boro in between, it might turn out to be a test of character. If by any chance we hit top form for the first time this season, we are likely to see ourselves through the remaining 3 competions. Hopefully that will be the case. In short, United are now not far for an historic achievement. The quintuple has never been easier than winning 12 matches. Not many teams would turn down the offer if they were told to win 12 games to bag every trophy on offer! Easier said than done eh?
But Berbatov has reminded us that WE ARE MANCHESTER UNITED!
