December looks to be a very important and a very busy month for Manchester United.

Premiership betting odds have arch-rivals Manchester City as title favorites, but with six league matches this month, a perfect month could see things shifting in United’s favor going into the new year.

Along with their packed Premier League slate, United have a pivotal match at Basel that will decide whether United will be participating in the Champions League or the Europa League come February.

United will be favored to win all of their December fixtures, but will they do so?

Premier League

at Aston Villa, 3 December

Manchester United have dominated Villa in recent history, with Villa’s 1-0 win at Old Trafford being their only win over United in the last 31 league meetings between the two sides. Villa’s last home league win over United was a 3-1 win in August 1995, the result that prompted Alan Hansen’s infamous ‘kids’ jibe.

Villa come into this weekend’s match with only one win in their last six league matches, and they’ve won only three of 13 league matches this season. However, they’ve proven to be quite adept at drawing, as their seven stalemates are the most in the league.

vs. Wolves, 10 December

Along with ending United’s unbeaten streak with a 2-1 win at Molineux in February, Wolves came within moments of a surprise point at Old Trafford last season, but United will be expected to easily dispatch Mick McCarthy’s side at home this time around.

After opening the season with consecutive wins, Wolves have won only once in their last 11 league matches heading into a Sunday six-pointer against Sunderland.

For what it’s worth, Wolves have given up 12 goals in their last five away matches, and the only match in their last 10 to date in which they didn’t allow multiple goals was a 3-1 win over woeful Wigan, so this could be the perfect time for United to have a big day in attack.

at Queens Park Rangers, 18 December

United can’t overlook the first of their back-to-back matches in West London. QPR beat Chelsea at home in October, and City needed a 74th-minute winner to claim a 3-2 win at Loftus Road in early November.

However, United should take care of business in this clash, especially considering that Rangers have been far better on the road. Only one of QPR’s four league wins to date was at home, where they are 1-3-2 ahead of a weekend visit from West Brom.

at Fulham, 21 December

Fulham have been struggling in the Premier League, but this match actually shapes up to be a challenge, given that United are winless in their last three league visits to Craven Cottage, including last season’s 2-2 draw.

But the Cottagers aren’t looking as strong at home as they usually do, as they’ve won only one of six home league ties this season going into a Monday night meeting with Liverpool.

Another potential factor favoring United is how tired Martin Jol’s side could be coming in. This will be their fourth match in less than two weeks, as they visit Swansea on the 10th, host Odense in a Europa League match on the 14th, host Bolton on the 17th, then face United four days later.

vs. Wigan, 26 December

To say that United have dominated Wigan since their entrance into the Premier League would be a major understatement. Along with a 4-0 rout in the 2006 Carling Cup final, United have won all 12 of their Premier League meetings with Wigan, outscoring them 37-4. At home, United are six for six, outscoring the Latics 19-1 in the process. Nine of the 12 wins came by multiple goals, and in the last four matches, United have scored 16 and conceded none.

Wigan needed a late rally to avoid relegation last season, and they look destined for another dance with the drop this season. Roberto Martinez’s side will face Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool at home in December before coming to Old Trafford, and that stretch could toughen them up for the long haul, but United will be expected to deliver another beatdown in this Boxing Day bout.

vs. Blackburn Rovers, 31 December

Last season, United put seven past Blackburn at home, and even if they don’t hit that lucky number this time, another convincing win should be on the cards.

Blackburn did beat Arsenal at home, didn’t go down easy in home defeats to Tottenham and Chelsea, and held City for nearly an hour in a 4-0 home defeat. But away from home, they’ve surrendered three goals in a game five times already, and they’ve allowed 17 goals total in seven away matches to date. Those numbers don’t bode well at all for Blackburn, and United will be expected to inflict more misery on beleaguered boss Steve Kean, if he’s still in his position come New Year’s Eve.

Champions League

at FC Basel, 7 December

Ahead of the group stage, United were expected to qualify easily and top a group that, with Basel, Benfica, and debutants Otelul Galati in it, appeared to be one of the easiest on paper.

However, games and groups aren’t won on paper, and United will head to Switzerland needing to at least draw to qualify for the round of 16, with a group win more than likely out of the equation after being held 2-2 by Benfica at Old Trafford in their last group match.

United are often at their best when dealing with adversity and tense situations, so you’d have to favor them to take care of business and book their place in the last 16. It might not come easy, as Basel are also chasing the same thing and will be confident after their 3-3 draw at Old Trafford in September.

But the presence of Nemanja Vidic, whose only Champions League appearance thus far was a red-shortened one in the away tie against Otelul Galati, should steady a United back line that was shaky in the home draws against Basel and Benfica, and that will be pivotal in United’s quest to progress.

We football fans are a notoriously fickle bunch. Either we are not happy because of the quality of the show or perhaps the fortitude of the results irk us. Either way, it’s certainly a mixed bag with United at the moment.

Here’s the thing… If at the start of the season you’d said to the average City fan that the club would take four points combined from their trips to United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal I suspect most would have taken it quite happily.

The renowned midfielder of the Manchester Anderson has been ruled out with a knee injury. He has been ruled out until February 2012. Anderson is a famous Brazilian footballer who had crucial ligament damage and was forced to undergo a surgery two years ago.

Anderson is again sent back to Portugal to the same specialist for the further assessment of his knee injury. Anderson had the Champions League clash with Otelul Galati on 2nd November and has not played since then. Sir Alex Ferguson stated this to media in an interview that Anderson is out until February 2012.

Ferguson is worried as Tom Cleverley who is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder in the Premier League for Manchester United is also out of the field due to an ankle injury.

Alex Ferguson however has no plans to go to the transfer market in the month January. He said in his interview with media that it might be easy to buy the players but is easier said than done to buy them or the Manchester market and that too in the month of January. He is also not sure to get any player that can make a better team for them. He doesn’t find any good player in the market; the players he wants are not available.

In totality the only fit midfield players left are Darren Gibson, Darren Fletcher,Ryan Giggs, Ji-sung Park and Michael Carrick. Ferguson tried to fit Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones as midfield players.

The English Premier League Champions Manchester is one the most popular events the in the world nowadays, which has gained the popularity by the increase interest by the people who are associated with the game. It has not only provided the great amount of revenue but also the profit from the game is unbelievable. The club has been profited by $1 billion when the interest rates and depreciation almost rose by 30 percent. Currently in the second position, the Manchester united is in the second position that has reported the gross debt of 433.2 million that has fallen from 516.7 million. The English premier league champions Manchester united is the most successful English football team, which has crossed the limit from the earnings.

The permission is received from the IPO by which the Manchester United is now selling the 30 percent team with the great profit that is the most amazing thing that will surely help the team management. The company has planned to bring down the debt, so that it can lower the burden on the Glazer family, which are the club owner’s. Normally the Blazer family is not popular among the supporters because they never came in the media and never showed in the public issue.

The blazer family has been supported by the Manchester united but still they faced some problems that is they have decide to lower down the debt credit that will surely help them in the future so that they can easily stand in the market of the game. The club also announced that they have seen many days in which they have also seen the days when they have recovered by a single Sunday game and they are in the process of recovering only. Since the last few years, the total revenue has increased from 17 to 73.8 million pounds that also includes the total commercial revenue of 29.6 million pounds. By all that, the Manchester club almost reached the amazing profit of the 80 million that has set the records in the last few years.

The Manchester club has set the momentum to earn the profit and for that, they have crossed the limits with just the earnings of the game. They also have the media revenues that has also increased the earning to the club, now they have also sponsored deal the pounds shirt with the AON Corp. New ways have been evolved to make the revenues, which has set the track for the Manchester club. There are also the media revenues that are also raised from the 17 percent to 22.6 million pounds, the daily match revenue of the game has also rose from 10 percent to 21.6 million pounds. Now they have also set the record to establish the extra revenue in different parts of the countries by establishing the small teams, where they provide the training and games, which qualify to the National level.

Now the Manchester club has increased their by creating the teams across Europe that are the very easy way to meet the financial criteria by the game governing body, UEFA. The club has almost set the record of getting the revenue from most of all the things that are normally used for recreation. The success of the Manchester club is not totally depended upon the revenue that they get from the single game.

In general, writers like things called ‘themes’ that they can hang their articles around. Therefore, if there is anything mildly unusual or different about a story, for example one of the teams in an English league match being Welsh, then you can expect the scribe to bang on about it for ages.

As the dust settles on the anniversary of Sir Alex Ferguson’s arrival at the club we are still a quarter of the way through an active football season and in the thick of the battle.

If you had offered us 26 points from that opening run of fixtures many of us would have taken it. Although we have managed to put Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham to the sword the performance against City was such an abomination that nothing can be taken for granted.

A combination of Danny Welbeck and Wes Brown ensured the disappointing hosts stole all three points as an unfortunate Sunderland side can count themselves unlucky for not getting something from the game. The Manchester United statistics don’t lie as the 19-time champions bossed the match but were not as convincing as you would expect from England’s best team.

The United youngster came back to haunt his former employers

The game was very much a slow-burner to begin with as the celebration for the manager’s longevity in the hot-seat got underway ahead of kick-off. The Sir Alex Ferguson stand was unveiled as well as plans to erect a status of the Scottish coach and the players didn’t seem to have their mind on the game either in the first-half.

Despite offering very little going forward, Steve Bruce’s team were brilliantly organised at the back as the threat of Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck and Nani were nullified easily, with Wayne Rooney playing out-of-position in central midfield, restricted to long-range efforts on Keiren Westwood’s goal. The lack of cohesion and fluidity in both sides play suggested there would be no goals in this half.

However in the first minute of injury time, Nani floated in a teasing corner, catching the Sunderland rearguard sleeping. Welbeck glanced his header towards goal before Wes Brown got a deflection to help it into the net. The brave away team’s resistance was broken by a mixture of misfortune and a lack of concentration. The half-time team talks changed hugely with that strike as Alex Ferguson’s outfit got the goal the occasion justified.

For the second period, Sunderland came out to attack more but this only suited the home side greater as they had more room to play in. With the game opening up, United had two magnificent opportunities in the space of several seconds. Rooney saw his left-footed volley turned away but Westwood and the Irishman bettered that save by denying Patrice Evra from point-blank range.

But just 10 minutes before the end, the champions could’ve paid for their profligacy when Sebastian Larsson found space down the right flank. The ex-Birmingham winger slid a dangerous ball across Anders Lindegaard’s six-yard box. However on-loan forward, Nicklas Bendtner was mere inches away from converting the golden opportunity as it agonisingly rolled across the face of goal and behind for a goal-kick.

The day belonged to Sir Alex Ferguson

The victory put Manchester United back into second place in the Premier League table after being surpassed by Newcastle United earlier in the day. However they still remain five points behind Manchester City after they secured a hard-fought win against QPR.

After the cagey 1-1 draw in Portugal earlier in the reverse fixture of the group, both sides will be all-out to ensure they will do their best to finish top.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United

Finally to wrap up the month’s footballing affairs, Newcastle United visit the Theatre of Dreams.
