This season is shaping up very nicely right now, as far as any Red is concerned. We're top of the Premier League, face Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan at the San Siro in the European Cup QF 1st Leg next Tuesday night and have a trip to Wembley for the Carling Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur to look forward to.
In the F.A. Cup, a tough trip to Pride Park was made to look like a 'walk in the park' yesterday, as Nigel Clough's Derby County were swept aside in majestic fashion by a United side that had a few more 'unusual' faces. That the likes of Darron Gibson and Danny Welbeck can take their places in the 1st team and fit in so seemlessly is testament not only to the lads concerned but to the amazing coaching set-up the Club have now at Old Trafford. Sir Alex knows that these lads are 'busting' to get an opportunity to show what they can do at the top level and has little fear about giving them their chance.
The subsequent draw for the QF has seen United penciled in to travel to the victors of the Swansea City/Fulham tie- not easy, but better than a trip to the Emirates or Stamford Bridge.
In the meantime, it's back to Premier League business on Wednesday evening with the visit of Roy Hodgson's Fulham to Old Trafford- one we will be expected to win, but therefore a potential banana skin- a home win is essential to maintain the pressure on our title rivals.
