		<title>Wayne Rooney can surpass 42 goal Cristiano Ronaldo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There has been a lot of discussion over the past few weeks regarding the potential goal scoring return from Wayne Rooney this season in comparison to that of his former team mate, Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s return in 2007/08.  We discussed the possibility of such an achievement a couple of weeks ago when Rooney surpassed the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manchester United 4-0 AC Milan Match Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Relentless, ruthless, Rooney &#8211; these were the three R&#8217;s that inspired Manchester United to a historic victory over grand European opponents AC Milan. It was a classic action packed European night at Old Trafford with many subplots; but it was United who triumphed with a massive 7-2 aggregate scoreline to progress to the Champions League [...]]]></description>

		<title>How does Rafael deal with Ronaldinho?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
After the 3-2 victory over AC Milan three weeks ago in the San Siro, Rafael came under some fierce criticism for his naive performance against Ronaldinho.  The 2004 &#38; 2005 World player of the year gave our young right back a big lesson, which will no doubt be of valuable experience to the lad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Manchester United</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Paul Scholes scored a landmark goal to give Premier League Champions Manchester United a crucial (if unconvincing) three points against division struggliers Wolves at Molineux. The United legend&#8217;s 100th league goal for the club returned them to the top of the league.

It was a twist of a somewhat ironic nature that presented itself to Sir [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time for a hero; so who will it be?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I think we could safely say that after the last international break of the season we&#8217;re entering &#8220;squeaky bum time&#8221;; after a season that has seen thrills and spills and has been described as both fantastic and woeful, you might need time to pinch yourself and compose when you realise there&#8217;s only 8 weeks left [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ferguson: Michael Owen will be out for a few weeks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Michael Owen&#8217;s injury nightmare continues as Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that he believes United&#8217;s number seven will be out for few weeks.  Michael Owen started the League Cup final against Aston Villa on Sunday and scored the opening goal to help United to a 2-1 victory.  Owen pulled up half way through the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chelsea to experience United defensive injury crisis?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Back in December I got some stick for defending Sir Alex Ferguson for fielding a makeshift three man defense against Fulham at Craven Cottage.  Some readers seemed to think that I was a 3-5-2 advocate, when in fact I do not feel it is effective in top level football anymore.  Forwards are withdrawn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are Arsenal now a serious contender for the title?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
After we brushed aside a rather naive looking Arsenal in the 3-1 victory in January, I honestly thought there would be no way back for Arsenal.  Combine that with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of league leaders Chelsea the following week, I smugly presumed that my prediction from the week before was highly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dimitar Berbatov, Antonia Valencia &amp; Park show quality in final</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Manchester United retained the League Cup today having beaten Aston Villa 2-1 at Wembley today.  Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney scored the crucial goals to give United their fourth League cup win, with our number ten getting lots of superlatives thrown in his direction.  Wayne Rooney is without doubt the best player on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manchester United 2-1 Aston Villa Match Report</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sir Alex Ferguson steered his Manchester United side into the record books once again as it was the first time in history that the club had ever successfully defended a cup competition &#8211; a result that wasn&#8217;t without fortune, though, and a result that was secured with a familiar combination.



Antonio Valencia confirmed his rise from [...]]]></description>
