All to play for in the next game against Chelsea.

Evra on Evergreen Giggs

Patrice Evra:

‘Giggs? He must stop talking about his yoga!

‘He says it makes him run faster. I will have to sign up immediately!

‘He is 37 years old and he runs more than almost everyone else on the pitch, and he is decisive. What can I say!’

ECL Final - Almost there. Schalke 0 -2 MU.

Sir Alex Ferguson saluted one of his finest away wins in Europe as Manchester United moved to the brink of next month’s Champions League final at Wembley.

Two second-half goals in three minutes from Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney gave United a 2-0 victory over Schalke 04 to take into next week’s second leg at Old Trafford.

‘It was a tremendous performance,’ said Ferguson, who is now set to clinch a place in the final for the fourth time on May 28 against either Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Important Win! Now, let's go on and secure that TITLE!

Climbing highest: Javier Hernandez heads in Manchester United's winner

As the clock ticked towards 83 minutes at Old Trafford, you could imagine Carlo Ancelotti's quizzical eyebrow rising ever higher and Arsene Wenger's pained frown easing just a little as they watched on in their respective London locations.

The game remained goalless, Sir Alex Ferguson was required to make full and animated use of the touchline on his return from a ban and Old Trafford was a decidedly twitchy place as Manchester United seemed intent on keeping this most mediocre of title races, in terms of the teams contesting it, alive until the very end.

It was not to be, of course. Football historians will eventually record that United won the 2010-11 title.

Thank you Chicharito!

Treble no more... and held at Newcastle

Two games to forget. Lost to City at Wembley and goalless at St James Park.

Arsenal didn't take full advantage of the slip though. They drew their games too.

5 more games to go, come on United!

Chicharito and Park Seal Semi Berth

Man Utd took another big step towards the Treble as they reached the Champions League semi-finals for the fourth time in five years.

Javier Hernandez and Park Ji-sung gave United a 3-1 aggregate win after substitute Didier Drogba equalised on the night for 10-man Chelsea, who had Ramires sent off in the second half.

Defeat means Carlo Ancelotti's side are likely to finish the season empty-handed and leaves the Italian with his job on the line.

MAN OF THE MATCH: Ryan Giggs. He is 37 years old and has played 870 United games, yet his displays remain more remarkable than the statistics. His reinvention as a central midfielder allows Giggs to exert an influence intelligently and his final ball, as shown in all three goals, is terrific.

MANCHESTER UNITED VERDICT: More cautious tactics may be required to win the competition, if not against Schalke in the probable semi-final, because in a stretched, open game, Chelsea had chances. O'Shea had a mixed evening at right back, his fine role in the opening goal appearing an anomaly amid some unconvincing defending and, initially, Ramires threatened to overpower United in midfield. Yet with Rooney, Hernandez, Park and Giggs all excellent, there were fine displays at the other end of the pitch.
