Manchester United Update: (Season 4) (Year One of Man U)
MUFC is in 2nd place in the EPL 4 points behind Newcastle, who have played one more match. Right on the 29th of January, Rangers contacted me with a transfer that I really couldn't refuse. Around 20000 for Kakhaber Siredza, a 20 year old striker who is rated 72. He made the bench in the first match, which was against the leaders Newcastle. The game was breathtaking, with both keepers standing on their heads to keep the clean sheet. In the 75th minute, Wayne Rooney was tackled hard and picked up an injury, so on came Siredza. In the 86th minute, he picks up a nice through ball from Cristiano Ronaldo, puts on a nice stepover, pushes the ball out in front, and rushes behind the defender to pick up the loose ball. Shay Given charges out to about the 6, while Siredza is at the 12. He fakes a shot, and Given goes down. Siredza then proceeds to play a nice little chip into the back of the net to bring the game to 1-0. What a way to start off your Old Trafford career!
The next game was against my old team, Cheltenham Town, and was a game where I played Siredza, Rooney, and Cassano up front from right to left. The two youngest players on the pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kakhaber Siredza stole the show in a game where MUFC played many players who don't see much action. Ronaldo started things off in the 10th minute by coming down the flank, beating his marker and another defender, and coming in alone with Higgs advancing. As cheeky as ever, he didn't even shoot, but rather did a nifty move and walked around the keeper and into the back of the net. After regaining possession, Ronaldo was at it again running down the field fooling all who tried to stop him. Later, Siredza was brought down in the box, and converted the penalty. 2-0. Second half fireworks brought another goal from both Ronaldo and Siredza, plus one from Rooney on a brilliant strike from about 30 yards.
5-0 Manchester United.
