Dolphins of Chelsea to the classification of First League, Mancuniens do not post same serenity as these three last seasons, when they had ended up taking down the championship. Angers of the trainer of Manchester United, to sir Alex Ferguson, are legendary, such this famous day when cramps had landed on the head of David Beckham. Its players had to protect themselves several times since the recovery from the championship, in August. Red Devils already exceeded their number of defeats of last season (5 against 4). The fellow-members of Patrice Evra tackle the marathon of the festivals of end of the year (three matches in one week) Saturday against Hull City de Bernard Mendy, after

two defeats alarming (vis-a-vis Aston Villa, 1-0, and to Fulham, 3-0) and with a team decimated in defense. “I hope that these false notes will not cost us the title”, somewhat disillusioned Ferguson by the turning of the events sighed. Not less than seven defenders (Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans, Neville, Brown, O' Shea and Rafael) are currently with the infirmary. These absences do not explain only the current deficiencies of the mancunienne team. A name often returns in the spans of Old Trafford. That of Cristiano Ronaldo. Sold in Real of Madrid for a cheque of 94 million euros, the Portuguese will-o'-the-wisp and its strokes of genius are lacking. “The problem is now to make without him. It is not easy, but is with me to find solutions”, recognized Ferguson last summer. Wayne Rooney (12 goals in 17 matches), true warrior, cannot do everything in a team which lets itself too often go. The Nani medium ground, which lived up to that point in the shade of Ronaldo, and attacking it Berbatov did not succeed in raising their level of play. Under the shirt of DRIVEN, the Bulgarian one is still far from the account and does not manage to equalize its statistics with Tottenham, its preceding club (0,48 goal of average per match at Spurs against 0,28 currently). It is reminded to him unceasingly that there remains the most expensive recruit of the history of the club (40 million euros). No recruits The play of Mancuniens is sometimes unmethodical in spite of broad victories acquired in championship over individual fulgurances. For example, the veterans Ryan Giggs, 36 years, and Paul Scholes, 35 years, do not have any more the breath of their 20 years. No player of manpower is today able to take without dispute their relay. Ferguson makes the deaf person ear when one speaks to him about the limits of his group. After all, its club is always in race for a triplet Championship-Cup-C1. “We are not so badly that and do not need new players”, considered the technician Scottish, who did not want to comment on the possible arrival of Hatem Ben Arfa at the time of next the mercato winter of January. It would be more inclined to sign a contract with its players to fill the tank with points during these festivals.
