Man Utd 2-2 Fulham

Another painful result, almost salvaged late on when United finally overturned Fulham's lead that they held for most of the game, with 2 goals within 90 seconds from Carrick and Van Persie. RVP was assisted by Mata, and Carrick's shot took a wicked deflection and ended up in the back of the net. But like the rest of the season, heartbreak came in extra time, after Bent scored a header.
It's hard to be positive about the match against Arsenal on Wednesday, or any of the remaining 13 games of the season for that matter, I guess it's just time to accept we will have to go a season without hearing that beautiful Champions League anthem.

Vidic Leaving Manchester

Confirmed on the Manchester United website, Vidic has confirmed he will be leaving United at the end of the season.

Vidic: “It’s the last year of my contract and I have had eight wonderful years here. My time at this great club will always rank as the best years of my career.

"I never could have imagined winning 15 trophies and I will certainly never forget that fantastic night in Moscow, memories that will live with me and the fans forever. However, I have decided that I will move on at the end of this season. I want to challenge myself again and try to make the best of myself in the coming years.

"I’m not considering staying in England as the only club I ever wanted to play for here is Manchester United and I was lucky enough to be part of this club for so many years. I’ve got a few options to move on and I will choose the right one for me and for my family.

"I am now going to focus all my efforts on playing for Manchester United and do the best I can for the team until the end of the season. I hope this stops any further speculation about my future."

I hope Vidic continues to be successful wherever he goes, and will forever be grateful for his service.

Before training, after training, he was an exceptionally dedicated man and proved to everyone what ­dedication gets you."

“I am not afraid of using Sir Alex Ferguson or Cristiano as an example when I have to because to get the best out of your talent you need to be dedicated.

Stoke 2-1 Manchester United

A tough result today at a very windy Stoke City as United fall 2-1. It is getting really hard to see us still making top 4 with Liverpool given the chance to go 9 points clear in fourth. In a game that United dominated the possession, Stoke still managed to get a 2 goals from Charlie Adam, both of which left De Gea with nothing else he could have done to try keep them out.
Van Persie equalized after Mata played a very nice through ball (goal below), but it was cancelled out shortly after by Charlie Adam's second goal. And to make matters worse, Evans and Jones went off injured, causing Carrick to be forced into defense, with Rooney and Cleverley controlling the midfield.
It was a tough result, but with Fulham coming up next, United needs to bounce back right away before the big clash against Arsenal.

Juan Mata Joins Manchester United!
