In what some might call a more exciting weekend in English Premier League football , most Manchester United fans will be throwing a fit due to a lackluster performance by the reigning champions in what seemed to be a runaway victory for the Red Devil's.
All of us were surprised at the way Ferguson approached this game , sending out a negative 4-5-1 starting XI.What makes it worse , is the fact that Aston Villa side hasn't won at Old Trafford since 1983! On the other hand Aston Villa went out all fired up and the top 4 inpired Aston Villa gave Manchester United a run for there money.
Villa went ahead and got the lead through a wonderful header by Agbonlahor. Regardless of this , Manchesrer United kept the pressure and persisted which lead to Rooney creating a chance for himself but unfortunately hitting the crossbar.
With a second half change , Michael Owen replaced the injured Ryan Giggs to bring in some much needed firepower upfront. Much to United fans amazement , United continued to dominate proceedings with 78% of the possession yet not scoring one goal in the entire match.
For many United fans , this was a annoying result and the way Sir Alex Ferguson approached the game has got many fans talking about the future of Sir Alex at Old Trafford with rumours creeping up of 'The Special One' aka Jose Mourinho approaching the Red Devil's managerial seat in a few seasons.
This was one of those days , that just didn't go United's way. Even with Chelsea drawing against Everton in an exciting 3-3 game and the possibility of gaining 3 points to go level with Chelsea. The Red Devil's didn't have what it takes to get the 3 points and put pressure on Chelsea
The Red Devils find themselves 3 points behind Chelsea , with Aston Villa now moving up into 3rd spot. The pack are chasing and it is not up to the lads to move on with the Title Race with a win against Wolves this Tuesday.
One thing is for sure , this is going to be one of the most exciting races towards the Title. Lets get ready for a showdown come the end of the season.
