Ferguson Chases Treble

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has challenged his squad to prove how good they are by delivering the treble (Premier League, FA cup, UCL).

ManUtd are 2 points behind league leaders Arsenal, face a to Lyon and may face either Tottenham or Reading. A treble is well within their reach as it was last season. In fact last season was the closest they had ever come to winning all three trophies since the remarkable 98/99 season.

However last season proved that United needed more depth in their squad, as tiredness and injury to key players sealed their fate in last season UCL semi-final. The problem has been dealt with, with the acquisitions of Tevez, Nani, Hargreaves and Anderson.

All of them are first team players and have proved their worth so far this season. Anderson's quick adaption to the English game has put a smile on every body's face. Hargreaves has been playing extremely, whereas Nani is looking like a second Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez has been scoring regularly. Manchester United now have the players with sufficient back-up to go all out for three trophies this season.

It's a realistic goal and Man Utd have the quality to mount a serious challenge on all fronts this season. Everybody was ecstatic after winning the treble back in 1999, lets hope we can relive the excitement that lead up to it.
