Pictures Which Tell The Story Of Our Season
After winning the league title the previous season, hopes were high at the start of the 07/08 season. Our opening game was against Reading, where Wayne Rooney terrorised their defence. However, just before half time he was injured (going on to miss our next 6 matches) and United played out the second half without a striker on the field. We drew 0-0. What an anti-climax.
United draw the second game of the season 1-1, Scholes scoring a belter before Benjani cancelled it out in the second half. Ronaldo is sent off with 5 minutes to go, meaning he will miss the next 3 matches.
With time running out at the Wastelands, after City took the lead through a deflection in the first half, Tevez has the chance to become a United hero. However, whilst the away end started to celebrate what seemed certain to be Tevezs first goal from the club, he heads wide and United lose. 1 point from a possible 9.
In April 2007, Nani was linked with a move to Spurs, but he was none too pleased.
I dont know where Tottenham fans get their stories, but I havent heard anything, he said. But why would Tottenham want to sign me anyway? Im not interested in going to a club that cannot qualify for the Champions League. If I wanted to play in the UEFA cup I would have to go to a smaller club than Lisbon. Tottenham are not a big club. They are just wasting their time.
To rub salt in the wounds, Nani signs for United and scores a belter against Spurs, clocking up our first win of the season.
Our first European game finishes 1-0, Ronaldo scoring against his former team, Sporting Lisbon, in Portugal.
After a rusty start to the season following a summer without football, Carlos Tevez scores his first United goal in a 2-0 win over Chelsea.
United go top of the table for the first time of the season after beating Wigan 4-0 at home. This was the first of four consecutive games which we won by scoring 4 goals.
A late equaliser from William Gallas sees United pick up just one point at the Emirates. Arsenal celebrate the draw at home against United like theyve just won the league.
Bolton beat us 1-0 at the Reebok, Nicolas Anelka scoring the only goal of the game. Little did we know then what impact Anelka would later have on our season.
Carlos Tevez scores in a 1-0 victory over the dippers at Anfield.
Ronaldo misses a penalty that would have put us 2-0 up at Upton Park. We go on to lose 2-1.
Ronaldo scores the first hat-trick of his United career in a 6-0 win over Newcastle.
Tevez scores a last minute equaliser at White Hart Lane to earn us a point, but we slip to second in the league.
On the match which marked the 50 year anniversary since the Munich Air Disaster, United lose 2-1 to City. The lowest point of the whole season by far.
United knock Arsenal out of the Cup and Nani plays keepy-uppy to the disgust of Arsenal. You dont want to be teased or humiliated, Wenger said after the game, although it is unclear whether he was referring to Nani or the embarrassing 4-0 scoreline.
We beat Newcastle 5-1 at St James Park on the day Arsenal draw 2-2 with Birmingham. Advantage United.
United are out of the Cup after losing 1-0 to Portsmouth at home. Kuszczak got sent off and gave away a penalty, leaving Rio Ferdinand in goal, and United wonder what might have been had the stonewall penalty been awarded to Ronaldo in the opening minutes of the game.
United beat the dippers 3-0 at Old Trafford with goals from Brown, Ronaldo and Nani.
Were one step closer to the European Cup semi-finals after beating Roma 2-0 away.
After going a goal down at home to Arsenal, courtesy of an Adebayor handball, a penalty from Ronaldo and freekick from Hargreaves gives United the win and ends Arsenals season
