Good Beginning for Manchester United
Mikael Silvestre is convinced Manchester United have the strength in depth to sustain their impressive
early form this season.
Giggs scored in Saturday match to win over Totenham, United have begun the Barclays Premiership campaign with three successive
wins.
Manchester United 1-0 Totenham
And with Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool dropping early points, it has been enough to sweep the Red Devils to the top of
the table.
Sir Alex Ferguson and his squad need no reminding that the first international break coincided with a major dip in form
last term, as draws with Manchester City and Liverpool, plus a home defeat to Blackburn Rovers left them with too much ground
to recover.
Who will be Fergie's golden boy???
- Wayne Rooney
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- Ryan Giggs
- Paul Scholes
- Michael Carick
- Louis Saha
- Rio Ferdinand
- Gary Neville
- Gabriel Heinze
- Mikael silvestre
- Van Der Sar
Manchester United in Premier Division
Manchester United have dominated the FA Premier League since the inception of the competition in 1992. Sir Alex Ferguson
has helped the club set new standards on the field with eight championship victories. The Reds ended a 26-year title wait
by lifting the FA Premier League trophy in 1993 with Eric Cantona making a telling contribution following his move from Leeds.
The mercurial Frenchman went on to forge legendary status at United and many supporters believe he is the greatest player
to pull on the shirt - four championships and two FA Cup wins were celebrated during his five-year spell in Manchester. Home-grown
talent such as Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs have since developed into world-renowned players, and latterly imported stars such
as Louis Saha and Ruud van Nistelrooy have added the overseas expertise. Old Trafford has grown into one of the most impressive
stadiums in the world with a capacity of over 68,000 and the 'sold out' signs go up for most home matches. Ferguson's decision
to postpone his planned retirement and stay on as manager delighted the red army, who also celebrated the record signing of
Rio Ferdinand in summer 2002. And there were further celebrations at Old Trafford as United lifted The FA Cup for the 11th
time in 2004 with a 3-0 win over Millwall. Wayne Rooney arrived at Old Trafford in August 2004 to complete a formidable-looking
front line and the England striker won his first trophy at the club in February 2006, scoring twice in the 4-0 Carling Cup
final win over Wigan Athletic at the Millennium Stadium.
