They are an average side, if those players lined up for say Stoke not a hope in hell they would have won the EPL. Playing for Man United gives them extra belief, not to mention the majority of 50/50 key decisions and are playing under the best manager ever to grace the English game.

If Man United's squad was put up for sale, the top European teams would be in for Vidic and Rooney and eh that's it, even their great hope Hernandez is really nothing more than a Mexican Andy Cole, you'd swear chicharito was spanish for off-side.

That's what the ball they used last night looked like.

United will need a major overhaul in summer-the fact that Barcelona can carry a Mickey Maguire midget lookalike at centre half speaks volumes about United's lack of ability to expose him-it was like a game of backs and forwards

They badly need two central midfielders!

How many of Utd's team would honestly get on for Barca??

Vidic & Rooney would start, but who else?

VDS would be a contender, only he is now retired. Evra would be 50/50

Valdes is one of the most underrated keepers in Europe. He's been the best keeper in Spain for a number of years now, including Casillas. There wouldn't be a contest.

You know very well if Arsenal had striker like hernandez to play along side VP they would have done better than their 4th place finsh & as i said already Barca can make anyone look average they are simply that good.

He's also one of the most underworked keepers in Europe.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

With Arsenal it's in the head, Wenger has a preference for 4-1-3-1-1, Hernandez wouldn't feature as is all round play isn't good enough yet and Arsenal only play long balls against teams that hold a high line and Walcott is playing.

Speaking of Arsenal, if they turned it that performance, 1 shot on target you can just imagine the abuse Wenger and the players would have received but then Arsenal are an easy target..

Don't worry Screen i won't bring up your old posts to embarrass you (no doubt your deleting half of them now)

Moving on..

Season review
League title won for a record 19th
Youth cup success to prove the future is bright
Got to the final of the CL with ease only to be beaten by the best
Got to the Semi final of the FA cup only to be beaten by the eventual winners
Old Trafford was a fortress in EPL & CL
United went half the season unbeaten to equal their own record set in 99/00

Yes winning CL for the 4th time would have been the cherry on top of the cake but wasn't to be this season so... some new blood needed in the summer & some of the dead wood cleared out and United will be back better than ever.

P.S the humility United players,fans & fergie showed after the game last night was great to see if only the ABUs did the same when Man United win titles.
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

You fail to mention that that Arsenal game was played in the Nou Camp. When Arsenal played Barca in London they came out with their heads held high.

And they got vilified for it even though they were one Bendtner touch away from knocking Barca out and how did the leg three weeks prior to that match go!!! Anyhow this a Man U thread so I will leave it at that.
