Man United Football Withdrawal

It hasn't been two weeks since Manchester United's 2009-10 campaign ended and I'm dying for some more football.  The way the last few weeks of the season ended left me unfulfilled. All the critics and pundits predicted that the club would suffer for selling Christiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid and not resigning Carlos Tevez.

Well Wayne Rooney almost single-handedly quieted all the skeptics as he scored 34 goals in all competitions before he was unlucky and injured his ankle during the most important two-week period of the campaign. The season was somewhat successful as we did finish only one point behind eventual league and FA Cup winners Chelsea. While we did defend the Carling Cup the real silverware however eluded us i.e. Barclay's Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and The FA Cup Trophies.

Here's to hoping management and Sir Alex Ferguson realizes the club needs a couple reinforcements so we can strengthen what we currently have (an already strong team) and truly challenge in all competitions.  Our options appear to be plentiful however with the club in debt up to our ears from the irresponsible and greedy owners, the American Glazer brothers, all us supporters are very skeptical about the ability to bring in important reinforcements that will help take back what's ours from Chelsea, the EPL Trophy, that is currently on loan for a year in London at Stamford Bridge.  Also, just as important is our advancement in Europe as our showing was a big disappointment despite our strong play in the 2010 Champions League quarter-finals against German Champions and strong European rival Bayern Munich.
