Season profile

There were no trophies in 2004-2005. Chelsea, with Abramovich’s money and new manager Jose Mourinho, proved to be the team of the season. They won the Premiership by some distance, Arsenal were second, and Manchester United only third. Manchester United did reach the final of the FA Cup, but lost on penalties to Arsenal.

At the start of the season, Wayne Rooney joined Manchester United following a stunning debut at the European Championships. His first appearance was delayed by injury until the end of September, when Manchester United played Fenerbahce in the UEFA Champions League. Rooney scored a hat-trick and United won 6-2. September also saw the debut of new defender Gabriel Heinze and the return from suspension of Rio Ferdinand. Rooney ended his first season at Manchester United as the club’s top scorer. One of his goals came against Arsenal in October. MU’s 2-0 victory at Old Trafford brought to an end Arsenal’s forty-nine match unbeaten run. (The match was followed by the infamous ‘pizzagate’ when pizza was supposedly thrown at Alex Ferguson by one of the Arsenal players.) Manchester United did the double over Arsenal in 2004-2005, winning 4-2 at Highbury in February.

Manchester United were also drawn against Arsenal in the League Cup. Manchester United’s second eleven beat Arsenal’s second eleven 1-0. Unfortunately, Arsenal secured revenge for all these defeats by beating Manchester United in the FA Cup Final. Manchester United had the better of the game but couldn’t score. In the penalty shoot-out, Paul Scholes missed and Arsenal won the cup.

In the UEFA Champions League it was a familiar story. Having moved through the group phase, Manchester United lost when the knock-out games began. They were beaten home and away by AC Milan. AC Milan went on to the final where they were eventually beaten by Liverpool, despite leading 3-0 at half-time.

One the main stories of the season came from the Stock Exchange. More and more Manchester United shares were being bought by American, Malcolm Glazer. Apart from John Magnier’s Cubic Expression, Glazer was now the major shareholder. Magnier was no longer interested in Manchester United and Glazer was ready to buy his shares. Supporters realised that it was only a matter of time before Glazer secured a controlling stake. They protested loud and long, but it didn’t make any difference. Cubic sold to Glazer in May, the PLC was de-listed from the Stock Exchange and Malcolm Glazer became the new owner.
