Fans of the English team Manchester United were all saddened the previous weekend upon hearing the result of the game between their favorite team and Chelsea. The result of course was not good for them – Manchester United 1-2 Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti team Chelsea was able to reclaim the English Premier League top spot from Manchester United. And this actually made the fans of the Red Devils feel even sorrier.

At the Old Trafford, the fans were unable to see veterans like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes shine, though the latter was able to get a yellow card for the team. They also failed to see Gary Neville step up and make his contribution.

Manchester United failed to fire on all cylinders, and use excellent teamwork to wrong-foot the opponent just like what this team did in the game against Bolton Wanderers recently and even in certain games in the past.

It was really questionable for the fans then, the Red Devils should have played well considering that it has all the reasons to. But this side failed to and it was seriously disturbing.

While Chelsea was indeed so eager to win then, from start to finish this team has showed so much eagerness. Chelsea’s Paul Scholes and Didier Drogba determination to win even made Chelsea 2-0 ten minutes into the second half.

Manchester United’s Federico Macheda was only able to put the Red Devils on the board and so at the final whistle result turned out to be – Manchester United 1-2 Chelsea.

Now, Chelsea possesses the English Premier League top spot with 74 points. This Carlo Ancelotti team is at the top spot of the much talked about league standings. But Manchester United is next after it, naturally in the said standings with 72 points, and then Arsenal with 71 points.

Manchester United can be considered worthy of the top spot in the English Premier League, when actually more than a week ago, the said team beaten 4-0 Bolton Wanderers. However for some, it was not really something to be seriously up to as the Red Devils then was at the top of the English Premier League standings while the Wanderers was close to bottom.

Also, it is worth mentioning here now that Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson actually ordered rest of Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick. The said coach seemed confident that his side would make it against Bolton Wanderers though his great men won’t be around. Thus, some just didn’t take the victory of the Red Devils over the Wanderers seriously.

According to news reports, Sir Ferguson decided to give the three rest, or break, so they’d be good enough for the English team’s much awaited UEFA Champions League game against Bayern Munich in Munich on Tuesday. Well, the Red Devils’ coach has most likely just figured it out that though without the three talented men, his side could still win against the Wanderers. And he can be deemed as someone wise, Manchester United made it against Bolton Wanderers. The team fired on all cylinders, and used excellent teamwork to wrong-foot the opponent.

But the Wanderers has also exerted effort to deliver a spirited fight. Back then, the team also made it hard in a way for Manchester United to win.

The game can be considered exciting, with the Red Devils not having Rooney, Ferdinand and Carrick and trying to stay at the top of the English Premier League standings and with the Wanderers still trying to prove its potential in the prestigious league. But the outcome of the game itself can be just considered not that interesting for some.

Yes, the Manchester United might take the treble of the FA Cup, English Premier League and Champions League, and this just according to the popular William Hill.

Well with all the Red Devils’ recent strong performances which include the one particular performance last Wednesday in the game against AC Milan, it seems that the team really has the potential to take the treble.

Just into the quarter-final of the most prestigious Champions League, Manchester United already got the green light to head into it. The team must be so thankful to Wayne Rooney who scored a header in the first half although AC Milan had dominant possession. It might have triggered Manchester United to have more goals to settle tie and eventually made William Hill decide to make the side second favorite to have great victory at odds of 7/2.

While the possible reason for the current standings of Red Devils, Wayne Rooney, became one of the bets of William Hill for the top Champions League scorer with his odds being slashed from 14/1 to 11/4.

And for the European Cup, an all-premier league final, the odds listed at 11/4.

According to Graham Sharpe, William Hill spokesman, the English teams might have actually started to look into what sides can really be beaten. And this, for the spokesman is something significant now.

Will the Red Devils be able to take the treble? Many of us could not wait any longer to find out if the team will actually be able to. But of course, it is still going to be a process. And the Red Devils should still go through such a process to be able to take the treble. And we have no choice but to deal with it, to be actually one with the team in this process that still must be completed.

Bolton Wanderers actually was lying second from the bottom in the English Premier League when they played against Arsenal. But of course, anything can happen. The Bolton Wanderers might be at the bottom and the Arsenal might be at the top, but anything is possible.
