Ok, Its time for me to mention the Quintuple. I haven’t wanted to mention it mainly because … it’s a QUINTUPLE!

Two weeks ago United had just tied Inter and had the Carling Cup final that Sunday. As buzz about the  Quintuple began, Sir Alex said he would field the team that got him to the Carling Cup final, which included the likes of Welbeck, Gibson, and Foster. Then Sir Alex made it clear that his priority was the Champions League.

At that point the Quintuple still remained an illusive, unattainable accomplishment. It didn’t help that United would field a group of inexperienced second team players for a final, but much to my surprise the youngsters pulled it off.

United then thrashed Fulham at Craven Cottage 4-0 to reach the semi-final of the FA Cup.

On Wednesday United outplayed Inter and got a much deserved win over the Italian side sending them through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Now, I believe, Its safe to realistically mention the Quintuple! An accomplishment like this would immortalize this generation of players!

The Premier League is United’s, having climbed to 7 points ahead of the competition and a game in hand. This weekend will definitely be a crucial one as United take on Liverpool and Chelsea take on Manchester City.

And in both the FA Cup and Champions League, there isn’t a team left with the pace, depth, and attacking power to beat Manchester United
