Man-U to win all Five Titles in Soccer?
Why are we asking?
Well, since the Manchester United Red Devils just won the Carling Cup, defeating Tottenham in a 4-1 penalty shootout after the teams played to a scoreless draw through regulation and extra time, we are.
You see, United is trying to win five trophies this season, something that has never been done. They won the Club World Cup title back in December and now with the Carling Cup title, they are nearly halfway to the goal. They have a comfortable lead in the 2009 English Premier League and Man-U winning the Premiership again is very possible indeed.
Aside from playing strong in the Premiership, the Red Devils are also in good shape in the 2009 UEFA Champions League, not to mention the fact that they are into the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
‘’We’re not going to get carried away with it,’’ Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said. ‘’We’ll keep our feet on the ground. A deflected shot goes off someone’s backside at Fulham on Wednesday and you’re out of the cup. Today proved that. Without Ben Foster, we’d have lost that.’’
United goalkeeper Ben Foster was brilliant for United in the victory, making big stops on Aaron Lennon and Darren Bent during the match. United also had chances to win before the shootout as Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez hit the post in injury time.
United is so deep that Ferguson chose to rest starting goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar in this match even though van der Sar has not given up a goal in the Premier League since November.
‘’Tottenham are good opponents and they probably had better chances in the match,’’ Ferguson said. ‘’But Ben Foster made two or three good saves.’’
The future definitely looks good for United with Foster in goal. ‘’The future is his,’’ Ferguson said, ‘’the present belongs to Edwin van der Sar, that’s obvious, but given that experience in a final it only strengthens my belief that Ben will be England’s goalkeeper for the next number of years.’’
United played a number of their younger players in the title match against Tottenham, a decision that looks good now. ‘’It’s brilliant,’’ United defender Rio Ferdinand said, ‘’I love the way the manager was true to his word by playing the young players. Danny Welbeck has been useful in the season, doing well and showing glimpses about why he has been in the first team. Gibbo has been the same working tremendously hard with himself off the pitch in training. Jonny Evans has come on tremendously this year.’’
