When did united lose the tie to bayern? Was it when they conceded the first goal or was it when rafael got send off? Personally i believe that united lost the tie when Sir Alex Fergerson named his teamsheet for the chelsea game. Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville played against Chelsea. I admit these guys are extraordinary players but at thier age, its really hard for them to play at the top level with minimum rest. Paul Scoles passing ability was greatly needed in the match against Bayern especially when United lost Rafael. Had he not played against Chelsea, it would have been likely that he would have played against Bayern. He would have given United the composure they lacked. Secondly, i think that Sir Alex was wrong to play Rooney against Bayern. It was a huge gamble which backfired badly. Whats the point of playing Rooney when Sir Alex believes United can win against Bayern without Rooney. Why risks Rooney's when they could win without him? and the worst part was, even though Rooney was strugguling in the first half, he was not replaced during half time. United was playing with 10 men through out the entire game. Sir Alex Fergerson is a great manager but like all person he makes mistakes and this week, i believed he made a huge mistake. Having said all this, credit has to be gicen to Bayern who showed character to fight back going 3-0 down. Hopefully they would march on to the finals this season. United will bounce back after this defeat and i still have faith that Sir Alex could lead United to more glory. UNITED FOREVER!!!
