ManUtd too good for Schalke

Giggs and Rooney scored the goals for Man Utd

[Manchester United walked away with an easy 2-0 victory away from home as both Rooney and Giggs had their names written on the score-sheet.] 

Not a surprising result, yet a surprising performance by Schalke 04. Honestly, I thought Schalke will give their best and give United a hard fought game in front of their fans. However, what I saw last night was a one sided game. It has been all United for the entire 90 minutes. Was that the Schalke that beaten Inter Milan at the quarter finals? I did not see anything from Schalke except bunch of fantastic saves by their captain, the German keeper, Neuer. Now I know the reason why the captain decided to leave his club this summer. Guess what, since Van Der Sar has decided to retire the end of the season, Neuer may become the keeper for United next season as he is one of the names on Ferguson's name list. 


Will Neuer become one of the ManUtd next season?

Schalke has to raise their performance at Old Trafford.  Maybe their performance will be improved as the Holland striker, Huntelaar will be fit for the second leg. Moreover, performance of Farfan and Jurado were far below par last night. They have to pick up their game in second leg. However, ManUtd is way too good for Schalke. There is no doubt that United will go to the Wembley for the final. The only question remains is, who will be their opponent? 

Manchester United played so well last night. They controlled the tempo of the game, their offense was good as usual and their defense was solid. The talented striker Hernandez was one of the best players on the pitch. His running was excellent. He always appeared at the right place at the right time. He was just unlucky not to score a goal, he did create the second goal though. With the rise of Hernandez, don't be surprise if United decide to sell the Bulgarian striker, Berbatov this summer. 

As United is in such a good form, I am wondering if Arsenal can beat ManUtd this weekend.
