Season profile

In 2005-2006 Manchester United won the League Cup for only the second time in their history. It was a competition in which they usually showed little interest, but success in 2005-2006 was necessary to brighten what was otherwise a fairly dark season.

A number of key players made debuts in 2005-2006. Edwin van der Sar became Manchester United’s seventh goalkeeper since Peter Schmeichel, and Ji-sung Park, Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic also began what eventually became successful Manchester United careers. The season saw significant departures as well. An era ended with the exit of Roy Keane. Frustrated by poor team performances Keane was fiercely critical of other players. Ferguson decided that this time he had gone too far, and Keane was sold to Celtic. (He was replaced as club captain by Gary Neville.) At the end of the season, Ruud van Nistelrooy was sold to Real Madrid. Ferguson judged that he had begun to have a negative impact on team spirit. van Nistelrooy was MU’s top scorer in four of his five seasons with the club. In the autumn, MU also mourned the death of George Best, one of its greatest ever players.

In the Premiership, as many points were secured as in any of the previous six seasons, but it wasn’t enough. Chelsea again won the league, with Manchester United second. In the FA Cup Manchester United were eliminated in the fifth round in an angry game against Liverpool at Anfield. In the UEFA Champions League, Manchester United failed to get past the group stage, and didn’t even make it into the UEFA Cup. For the first time in many years, Ferguson’s position as manager came under serious scrutiny.

2005-2006 was the first season under Glazer ownership. Contrary to the fears of many supporters, little changed. The Glazer family were largely content to leave the running of the club to David Gill and Alex Ferguson. A new club, FC United of Manchester, was formed by some unable to accept the new regime. As Manchester United struggled, FC United had an excellent first season in the North West Counties League Division Two.
