Is This The Fall of Manchester United?

          Over the years, Manchester United has been one of the best clubs in the Premier League. Two seasons ago, they found their glory and were crowned the winners of the League. It seemed as if They had everything gong for them, but recently nothing has been going their way, and they haven't been getting the results in which they need.

          The standards of Manchester United are very high, as you would expect for a club who have won the EPL 20 times, the most of any club in the league.  Last year,the Manchester club struggled, after they lost their legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. Ferguson had been with the club for 27 years and most of them had been successful, meaning that this was a huge loss for the team and you could tell. Last year, Manchester United finished 7th in the league apposed from their 1st place trophy the year before. This was a disappointment for the club and all of its fans. When Sir Alex retired, the new manager who stepped up was David Moyes. David was encouraged to be taken as their new manager by Sir Alex Ferguson himself, but the choice was not a good one. Moyes did not create results for the club, in fact, they did awful when he was in charge!

          This 2014-2015 season, people were hoping that Man U would be back their old selves but they were definitely not. They received another new manager of the name, Louis Van Gaal. He is a very good manager, but so far into the season, he cannot seem to find the results that Ferguson did. As of right now, Manchester sit in 12th place, out of 20. They have 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, which equals 5 points for the red devils. This Saturday, September 27, 2014, they play West Ham United at their home field, Old Trafford. Hopefully they can put up the win!

          Aside from the results, the team has made some really good signings. They signed: Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Angel Di Maria, Marcos Rojo, and Luke Shaw. All of the signings are huge for the club, but they really don't need more attackers and midfielders. They already have people from the likes of Juan Mata and Robben Van Persie. What the team really needs are defenders, because you cant win games unless you have both attack and defense. They have an attack, but no defense which is why they are not winning. Hopefully, soon they can pick up some good defenders, then we can see what their real potential to win is.

        So, is it the fall of Manchester United? Right now, I say definitely not, they need to buy soe new defenders and see where that brings them. If they can't win with new defenders, then I think they would need to find a new manager. If non of this works in the near or far future, then it will be the end of Manchester United's reign. I hope, like many others that they can find their way out of this awful spell.    

2014-2015 Season: The Biggest Transfers of the Premier League

          This 2014-2015 season has been full of huge transfers already, most of which have been coming from Spain. Plays have arrived in England from giant clubs such as, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Athetico Madrid. I'm sure everyone is awaiting the immense contributions of the new players, and hopefully they will live up to it. Some of the names that come up when talking about the best transfers this year are, Alexis Sanchez, Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, Didier Drogba, Mario Balotelli, Angel DiMaria, and Ander Herrera.

          Alexis Sanchez: Alexis Sanchez transfered to Arsenal this season, his previous club was the Spaniard power-house Barcelona. His transfer cost was $44 Million. He is originally from Chile and he helped them in the World Cup this year. Arsenal Fans are hoping he brings them many victories this year and I believe he can.  

          Cesc Fabregas: Cesc is a Spanish midfielder who has come from Barcelona as well. He has made his move to Chelsea for $36 Million. Hopefully, Fabreas will produce for Chelsea this year, and they can win the title.

         Diego Costa: Costa is also a Spaniard and has also moved to Chelsea. His previous club was Athletico Madrid, who he scored a bundle of goals for last year. His move costed Chelsea $40 Million. I am sure the money was worth it because Diego Costa is on of the best strikers in the world right now.

          Didier Drogba: Didier Drogba is from the Ivory Coast, but his previous club is the Turkish club, Galatasary. This year he has moved to Chelsea for FREE. The funny part is Drogba used to be on Chelsea and is still considered a legend today. Hopefully, even in his older age, he can produce again.

          Mario Balotelli: Mario Balotelli's previos club is AC Milan. The Italian striker has moved to Liverpool for $20 Million. He does have sort of a bad reputation for acting out, but hopefully this year he can show that he has matured.

         Angel DiMaria: Angel is an Argentinian midfielder who has moved from the Spanish giants Real Madrid. His move was t Manchester United which cost them, $75 Million. Hopefully, he an pick his team up an lead them to victories.

          Ander Herrera: Another Spaniard, Ander Herrera, has moved to Manchester United. His previous club was Athletic Bilbao, the sold the midfielder for $36 Million. Manchester fans are dreaming of the assists now, and I think he can bring them...we will see.
