Where are you going Man United?

This could be the most unpredictable run of Man United I've ever seen. A few weeks ago, they were thrashed by Liverpool 4-1 at Old Trafford. An unbelievable score that shocked everyone, including me. Then a week after that miserable lost at The Theatre of Dreams, Man United travelled to Craven Cottage, where they had a match against the Londoners, Fulham. Yet again, Man United's defense were broken down and as the consequences, they were beaten by Rob Hodgson's side 2-0. Devastating and yet miserable. 

Then it came. Last week, 4th of July 2009, at Old Trafford Stadium Manchester United went back to their sacred home ground facing the mighty Villas, Aston Villa. Stunned by an early strike by Villa and also Villa's performance that putted them 2-1 leading at the first half, Man United reacted in a way that had been lost for quite a while. Cristiano Ronaldo and Federico "Kiko" Macheda brought the game beyond hand and into Man United's favour. 3-2 the final score and Macheda was haled as the man of the match. A perfect debut, a perfect goal and a perfect performance by the youngster. 

Then another disappointment came for the fans. A 2-2 draw at Old Trafford on Tuesday night against Porto caused fans to become more and more disappointed. I was disappointed too since I was actually hoping for a comfortable win for Man United. Tevez's late strike at the 85th minute wasn't enough to shift the momentum to Man United's side. In my opinion, they were still not the best team that night. There was something missing from them which I can't actually describe. A boost in morale maybe since after that big loss from Liverpool, it has always seemed hard for Man United to get things back to their normal condition. 

I am praying right now that God would give Man United a win at the Stadium of Light tonight. At the moment I'm writing this posting, the score is still level at 1-1 and I can hope for nothing but a goal for Man United. I can only hope that tonight's match can end Man United's drought, hunger and thirst for a comfortable and convincing win. 

WHERE ARE YOU GOING MAN UNITED? I can only hope that you're still going on the right patch, the path of champions. Good luck... and remember, Once a champion, always a champion! Even though you might not see where you're going right now, try and keep trying so that you can still on the path of glory, triumph and joy!

Viva Man United!
