Fell while balancing on a knife's edge: Man Utd is out

After a gut-wrenching match against old rivals, Benfica, Man Utd's hopes and dreams of winning the Champion's League title was shattered. Although Man Utd started off great with a goal from Scholes, Benfica replied with a diving header from Geovanni and a thunderous shot from Beto which was deflected off Alan Smith ang giving Benfica the lead. At the Stadium of Light, Man Utd gave a half-hearted performance which led to the fans' disappoinment. Man Utd's defeat was felt much harsher when Villareal won against Lille, which meant that Man Utd only needed a draw to qualify. Despite maintaining possession throughout the whole 90 minutes, Man Utd wasn't able to execute crosses and throughballs as the Benfica line of defence was strong, intersecting every pass. Maybe Man Utd needed a new ray of talent or a new manager. Man Utd's performance has not been impressive and win unconvincing with small goal margins. Man Utd should start realising the poor quality of performances and should do something about it. It is such a shame that Man Utd ended at the bottom of the group table after yesterday's match. It is official that Man Utd is out.


Man Utd squad.


Scholes scored, by fumbling the ball across the line. Not convincing.


The Benfica goalie showed off his armpits and disgusted G.Neville. You deserve it man.


Fuck off fergie!!

Despite all that, I'll still continue to be a Man Utd fan. But first, change the manager........
