First game of October and United suffered a setback as only a last-gasp Anton Ferdinand own goal gave United a point at home to Sunderland. United went to the KC next and picked up all three points as Wayne Rooney played a role in all four goals in United’s 3-1 win. Chelsea faced Wigan at home knowing if they match United’s result, they’d be the champions. United next welcomed Bolton and overcame the Trotters 2-1. United saw off West Ham 3-0 in their next match but they were up against it now, knowing too many more slip ups and the title would be off to Stamford Bridge. I still remember the unease I felt after the opening day unconvincing win over Birmingham thanks to a solitary strike from Wayne Rooney.

Liverpool were the visitors next in a crucial, crucial game for United. United went to the Emirates having never won there in the league before and we were in for a footballing classic. Chelsea took the lead early against Wigan and the lights dimmed on United’s season as Chelsea went on to an 8-0 romp against the Latics making whatever United did against Stoke – which would be a 4-0 win – irrelevant. One of the best (well most dramatic atleast) matches of the season.
A season that started with Cristiano Ronaldo’s world-record transfer to Real Madrid leaving a gaping void in the team, United did indeed silence the critics who questioned how far the team would go without the best player in the world.

The Portuguese international then crossed for Rooney, whose header ricocheted back off … The goal came in the 34th minute, when Dimitar Berbatov released Nanidown the left. Then came a big match – big, big match for Manchester United. Just as United fans were getting hopeful with eight goals scored in two games by their team, United drew blank at home against Aston Villa as Gabby Agbonlahor’s header gave the Villains their first win at Old Trafford in 24 years. United’s title hopes were being dealt blows just as they seemed to be gaining momentum. Injury ravaged throughout the season, United did well to take the title to the wire, they lost by only a single point and one must think what would’ve happened if United had not been lacklustre in matches they were expected to win like Burnley, Villa and Fulham. Manchester United's first formal bid to bring Jadon Sancho back to the Premier League …

Overall, a good season but by Manchester United’s great standards, only the Carling Cup is not what the club asks for.
United faced Portsmouth at home next and mostly failed to penetrate the Pompey defence with an unconvincing attacking performance against a weak defence but managed a 5-0 victory thanks to three own goals. My doubts werent found baseless as United slumped to defeat just three days later at newly-promoted Burnley. Next was a trip to arch-rivals Liverpool and if there were doubts about United’s title challenge this season, they certainly became more than that and questions were asked of United’s defence as they slumped to a 2-0 defeat at Anfield with some awful defending. They later sealed it with a goal from Frank Lampard and United knew they had to win at Sunderland later in the day to keep their faint hopes alive, anything else and the title was Chelsea’s even before the final day. United ended September with a comfortable 2-0 win over Stoke at the Britannia. Fernando Torres gave the Reds an early lead but Wayne Rooney and Ji-Sung Park gave United arguably their THE most important win of the season so far. Congrats to them… now piss off, this is a Manchester United review, no more shit about Chelsea. November started with a daunting trip to top of the table, Chelsea, as the first and second teams in the league collided and, although United had the better of the game, they suffered a demoralizing 1-0 defeat thanks to John Terry’s controversial goal which gave Chelsea a five-point lead as early as November. United put on a clinic and raced to a 3-0 lead with three superb goals by Luis Nani, Wayne Rooney, Ji-Sung Park before Thomas Vermaelen pulled one back for Arsenal in a match which was all about United’s spectacular counter-attacking display with Luis Nani giving a man-of-the-match performance. What happened next was dramatic, heart-breaking (if you’re a City fan) and summed up what football is all about. To be honest, I thought United never looked likely and did not deserve to get anything from that match. Dependance on Wayne Rooney may be another factor but the team more than proved they can go forward even without Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani’s emergence with some eye-catching performances and a great season overall is definetely something United fans will be hoping he takes into next season. United faced Stoke at home knowing their fate was not in their hands. January, the transfer window, started with a trip to Birmingham and a Scott Dann own goal gave United a point in a largely forgettable performance. But they did, Rooney scored from the spot and Abou Diaby scored an own goal to give United a morale-boosting 2-1 win which they took to Tottenham and produced their best performance of the season so far as goals from Giggs, Anderson and Rooney cancelled Jermain Defoe’s first minute strike. The visit of Chelsea to Old Trafford and injuries to Wayne Rooney and a lack of steel in midfield cost United as a controversial Didier Drogba winner gave Chelsea a priceless 2 point lead. Six minutes of injury time added on and into the sixth, ex-Liverpool striker Michael Owen pops up to score the winner in his first Manchester derby to send United fans into raptures and immediately endear him to the United faithful. Chelsea are the champions. https://www.worldfootball.net/teams/manchester-united/2010/2

United dug out a 1-0 win with a gutsy performance and the title would be decided on the last day with most likely the destination being Stamford Bridge. Could be called a must win even at that stage of the season. Manchester United showed us glimpses of the true MU in the next match against Blackburn with two superb goals by Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney giving United fans some hope that the title may still be staying at Old Trafford. By. Chelsea are the champions.

Despite missing several of their first-choice defenders and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, United won the match 1–0 with a first-half goal from Wayne Rooney. Another major setback, Everton beat Chelsea and United in two consecutive weeks, undoubtedly the more damaging one to United. When you’re champions, you cant afford to lose that early in the season and to teams like Burnley with much, much tougher tests to come. Chelsea visited Liverpool in the early kick-off and a dreadful Steven Gerrard back pass gave Didier Drogba a gift which he could not resist and Chelsea went 1-0 up. Congrats to them… now piss off, this is a Manchester United review, no more shit about Chelsea. Arsenal came to Old Trafford with a better start to the season than the hosts and took the lead through Andrei Arshavin’s long-range strike.

Ji-Sung Park scored three of his four goals in the season against the likes of Arsenal, AC Milan and Liverpool… not too bad a collection. United visited the league’s worst side Portsmouth next and Wayne Rooney helped himself to a hatrick and Ryan Giggs grabbed his 100th league goal for the club in a 4-1 triumph. If ever a practise session was needed, call upon Wigan Athletic. I still remember the unease I felt after the opening day unconvincing win over Birmingham thanks to a solitary strike from Wayne Rooney. A last-gasp goal by the evergreen Paul Scholes gave United a 1-0 victory at Molineux against Wolves and the Red Devils avenged their 3-0 defeat to Fulham in December by the same score at Old Trafford. United suffered another blow as they drew 0-0 at Blackburn in midweek but a goal in the last twenty seconds of the match by Paul Scholes at Eastlands against noisy neighbours City and Chelsea’s defeat to Spurs on the same day gave United an outside chance at the title going into the penultimate round of matches 1 point behind Chelsea. Demolished 5-0 in their own backyard in August, United did the same to them in their next match at Old Trafford. The 2009–10 Premier League fixtures were released on 17 June 2009, with Manchester United opening their campaign against Championship runners-up Birmingham City on 16 August 2009. Burnley and Hull, the next two visitors to Old Trafford, were brushed aside by the score lines of 3-0 and 4-0 respectively, and Wayne Rooney helped himself to four goals against the latter. That 3-0 win turned out to be another false hope however as United suffered a crushing defeat at Fulham next by the same scoreline and United were now third with Chelsea and Arsenal looking down upon them. © 2006-2020.
