The 2011–12 season is Manchester United's 20th season in the Premier League, and their 37th consecutive season in the top-flight of English football. United are defending Premier League champions, and will be aiming for an unprecedented 20th league title this season. Furthermore, they are competing in the Champions League for a 16th successive season. In addition, they will also compete in the domestic tournaments, the FA Cup and the League Cup. United will enter both competitions in the Third Round as a result of being a Premier League club and qualifying for European competition.

Manchester United began the season with a 3–2 win over local rivals Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley on 7 August 2011.

Manchester United preceded their 2011–12 campaign with a tour of the United States for the second year in a row. As in 2010, they played in the MLS All-Star Game, in which they took on a team of the best players in Major League Soccer. In the lead-up to this game, which was played on 27 July 2011, United took on the New England Revolution (13 July), the Seattle Sounders (20 July) and the Chicago Fire (23 July), before finishing the tour with a game against Barcelona at FedEx Field in Washington, D.C. on 30 July.[1]

The club granted a testimonial to Paul Scholes, who retired on 31 May 2011, to honour his 17 years of service to United. The match was played at Old Trafford against New York Cosmos on 5 August 2011.[2][3] United won the game 6–0, with Scholes himself opened the scoring, to complete an unbeaten pre-season.[4]

FA Community Shield

Main article: 2011 FA Community Shield

As Premier League champions, United began the season against the holders of the FA Cup, local rivals Manchester City. The match was played at Wembley on 7 August.[5] This was the first time the Shield had been contested by the two clubs in 55 years. United had most of the possession and more shots on goal in the first half, but it was City who took the lead in the 38th minute when Joleon Lescott nodded in a David Silva free-kick. Edin Džeko then doubled City's lead on the stroke of half-time with a low strike from long-distance. However, seven minutes into the second half, Chris Smalling volleyed home an Ashley Young free-kick to reduce the deficit, and then Nani finished off an intricate passing move involving Wayne Rooney and Tom Cleverley in the 58th minute to bring the score back to 2–2. With a penalty shoot-out looming as the game moved into injury time, Nani forced a mistake from City captain Vincent Kompany, outpaced the defence and rounded goalkeeper Joe Hart before sliding the ball into the empty net to seal United's comeback and their 19th FA Community Shield.[6]

Premier League

The fixtures for the 2011–12 season were announced on 17 June, with United beginning the defence of their title away from home for the first time since 2005–06.[7]

United travelled to The Hawthorns to take on West Bromwich Albion on 14 August 2011, and won 2–1. Wayne Rooney opened the scoring when he fired a left-footed shot past Ben Foster, but United goalkeeper David de Gea made his second error in as many games to allow Shane Long to equalise as the Republic of Ireland striker's low shot crept past him and trickled over the line. However, on 81 minutes, the winner was scored when United winger Ashley Young, being booed by the home fans due to his link with rivals Aston Villa, unleashed a cross-cum-shot which deflected off Gabriel Tamaş and then Steven Reid to give United the win.

United's next game was at home to Tottenham Hotspur, United's first game at Old Trafford for exactly 3 months. The game was goal-less at half-time, with both goalkeepers making saves. The best effort of the half, which fell to United's Tom Cleverley, was saved by Spurs 'keeper Brad Friedel. Ashley Young also headed wide from Wayne Rooney's chip. However, 15 minutes into the second half, United opened the scoring with a clinical goal from Danny Welbeck. The young forward latched onto Cleverley's cross before heading past Friedel at the Stretford End. Then, 16 minutes later, it was 2–0, when a brilliant passing move culminated with Anderson latching onto Welbeck's backheel and ramming past Friedel. Tottenham almost pulled one back when Jermain Defoe volleyed against David de Gea's post following an error from the Spanish goalie, but the points were sealed on 87 minutes, when Rooney thudded home a header from a Ryan Giggs centre. The win took United up to second place, one place behind rivals Manchester City. This also meant that United and City were on level points, with City only leading due to having slightly better goal difference than United.

United's next game was against rivals Arsenal at Old Trafford on 28 August. United were in full control for most of the first half, with Danny Welbeck opening the scoring after 22 minutes. However, a couple of minutes later, Jonny Evans was judged to have fouled Theo Walcott in the box and referee Howard Webb gave a penalty. Robin van Persie stepped up to take the penalty but his effort was easily saved by David de Gea. United were to make them pay for their mistake and Ashley Young made it 2–0 on 28 minutes with a curling effort into the top corner. Wayne Rooney then scored a free-kick on 41 minutes to further their advantage to 3–0. Theo Walcott managed to nick a goal back, slotting the ball under David de Gea making the half-time score 3–1 to United. After half-time Wayne Rooney scored another free-kick to extend United's lead to 4–1 before Nani chipped the keeper from 12 yards to make it 5–1. Park Ji-Sung came on and hit a left foot drive into the bottom corner to increase United's lead on 70 minutes to 6–1. Arsenal did get another goal back through Robin van Persie's left foot volley, before Carl Jenkinson fouled substitute Javier Hernández to earn him a second yellow card and an early bath. United made the extra man advantage count when Patrice Evra was fouled in the box by Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney slotted home the penalty for his hat-trick. Ashley Young completed the rout when his curling effort found the net in the 90th minute to make the final score 8–2. The win put United top on goal difference ahead of rivals Manchester City by one goal.

United travelled to the Reebok Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers in their next game, knowing that they had slipped down to third after Manchester City and Chelsea had both won earlier in the day. After Tom Cleverley had limped off after taking a kick in the foot by Kevin Davies, which may mean the young playmaker has broken his foot, United got off to a dream start inside 5 minutes, as Javier Hernández steered home a Nani cross at the near post for his first goal of the season. Wayne Rooney doubled the champions' lead by prodding home Phil Jones' right-wing cross. Four minutes later, Rooney grabbed his second of the game, tapping home after Jones' cross-cum-shot was blocked by the legs of Jussi Jääskeläinen. Hernández swept in his second - and United's fourth - on 58 minutes, before 10 minutes later, Rooney completed his hat-trick - his second succesive treble and his seventh hat-trick for United - by drilling home. Late on, Hernández tried desperately to complete a hat-trick of his own, but his efforts to complete his first hat-trick for United ended in vain. Still, United overtook City on goal difference for the second successive game, with United top of the table by three goals.

United's next game was at home to rivals Chelsea on 18 September 2011. United opened the scoring after 8 minutes after Chris Smalling rose unmarked to head an Ashley Young free-kick into the far corner. After Ramires failed to convert a Fernando Torres cross, mishitting the ball and allowing David De Gea to spring across the goal to make the save, Nani doubled United's lead on 37 minutes, firing the ball into the top corner from 30 yards. The first half ended with a 3-0 lead for United after Phil Jones ran forward into the Chelsea penalty area and, following a block from Nani, the ball rebounded back to Wayne Rooney who sidefooted the ball home. At half time Nicolas Anelka was introduced for Chelsea in favour of Frank Lampard and he immediately assisted Torres, who reduced the deficit to 3-1 mere seconds into the second half. However, it was United who received the next significant chance when Nani smashed the ball off the crossbar and, when attempting to gather the rebound, he was fouled by Jose Bosingwa in side the penalty area. Rooney went to take the penalty but slipped during the run up to strike the ball, causing the shot to go well wide. Chelsea also had a chance in the last 10 minutes when Torres shimmied the ball past De Gea but sliced his shot at the open goal wide.

Manchester United's next game was away to Stoke City on 24 September 2011, a team in which United have beat in all six of the teams' previous meetings in the Premier League. However, the game ended 1–1, which meant that United relinquished their 100% league record in the 2011-12 season, and City took points off United in the league for the first time. Early on, United had a penalty shout when Javier Hernández was brought down by Jonathan Woodgate in the penalty area, but the referee turned down United's shouts and Hernández eventually limped off. Despite this, United opened the scoring through Nani on 27 minutes, who exchanged passes with Darren Fletcher, before finishing beyond Asmir Begović with aplomb. David de Gea pulled off a couple of outstanding saves to keep United ahead, but Stoke levelled in the 52nd minute, through Peter Crouch's emphatic header. Ryan Giggs squandered a great late chance as the points were shared. United remained ahead of Manchester City on goal difference.

United's next game was a 2-0 home win against Norwich City on 1 October 2011, United's first game that kicked off on 3pm on a Saturday for almost half a year. Before United's first goal on 68 minutes, one of Norwich's many chances came through former Huddersfield winger, Anthony Pilkington, who could only shoot wide. United's first goal came when Ryan Giggs' corner was headed on by Phil Jones and then Wayne Rooney, and Anderson headed it in. Seven minutes later, Pilkington had another chance, but his deflected shot was tipped onto the post by United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard, making his Premier League debut, and then saved by the Danish 'keeper. United sealed the win on 87 minutes, when Danny Welbeck scored after exchanging passes with Park Ji-Sung. Wayne Rooney's record of scoring in every Premier League in the season ended, despite an attempt to chip the ball over Norwich keeper John Ruddy and hitting the crossbar. United, however, kept their place at the top of the Premier League on goal difference.

After an international break, United played Liverpool on 15 October, in a game that Sir Alex Ferguson said was better than the El Clásico itself[8]. Although United started as the better side, gradually Liverpool started to come about more chances until first-half whistle. Following tradition that there had yet to be a 0–0 draw between these two sides, Rio Ferdinand clipped Charlie Adam outside the penalty area, and Steven Gerrard converted from the free kick, giving Liverpool the lead the 60th minute, and also handing him the 'Man of the Match' award after the match (in his first start for Liverpool since 6 March 2011). However Liverpool's enjoyment was short lived, as 10 minutes from time, Javier Hernández headed into the back of the net, making the score 1–1. Despite late efforts from both teams, the game eventually finished 1–1, leaving United 1 point ahead of local rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table for the time being. Manchester City later defeated Aston Villa 4–1 to go top of the Premier League, 2 points clear of United.

FA Cup

United will enter the FA Cup at the Third Round stage with the other Premier League clubs, as well as those from the Championship. The Third Round ties will be played on the weekend beginning 7 January 2012, with the draw being made in early December 2011.[9]

League Cup

As one of eight English clubs who qualified for European competition in the 2010–11 season, United received a bye to the Third Round of the League Cup. The draw took place on 27 August 2011, giving United a trip to Elland Road to take on fierce rivals Leeds United.[10] The match took place on 20 September 2011, where United won 3–0. Sir Alex Ferguson handed a start to debutant Ezekiel Fryers, 18 years old, and twice early on, Dimitar Berbatov had to clear off the line. But that was the closest the hosts came to causing an upset, as Michael Owen opened the scroring on 15 minutes with a scuffed shot and lashed home a second on 32. Ryan Giggs all but sealed the victory when he played a short corner to Park Ji-Sung, got the return ball, nutmegged Robert Snodgrass, and shot past Andy Lonergan via a deflection off Luciano Becchio. Late on, Ramon Nuñez, a Leeds substitute, fluffed the chance to score a consolation for Leeds, firing wide.

The draw for the Fourth Round took place on 24 September 2011, and gave United a trip to the EBB Stadium to take on League Two side Aldershot Town. The match was played on 25 October 2011, with United once again winning 3–0.

The draw for the quarter-finals took place on 29 October 2011, and gave United a home match against Championship side Crystal Palace. The match will take place on 30 November 2011.

UEFA Champions League

Group stage

Manchester United began their UEFA Champions League campaign in the group stage after finishing in first place in the 2010–11 Premier League. The draw for the group stage was made on 25 August 2011. As one of the top eight-ranked teams in Europe, the club was seeded in Pot 1, meaning that they would avoid being drawn with defending champions Barcelona, as well as Bayern Munich, Internazionale, Porto, Real Madrid and the other three English clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City.[11] The draw eventually paired United with two previous opponents, Benfica and Swiss champions Basel, and one new opponent, Romanian champions Oțelul Galați.

United's first UEFA Champions League group game was away to Benfica on 14 September 2011, which ended in a 1–1 draw. Nicolás Gaitán's delightful long pass picked out Óscar Cardozo in the 24th minute, and he controlled on his chest then finished from 16 yards. But three minutes before half-time Ryan Giggs cut inside from the right and fired a 20-yard strike to equalise. United keeper Anders Lindegaard saved from Nolito and Gaitán late on.

United's next game in the Champions League was a home game against Basel. Two goals from Danny Welbeck in the 16th and 17th minutes looked to have put United in control. Welbeck's first goal came when he scuffed a shot in off the post, and the England forward's second was a far more convincing strike from Ryan Giggs' cross. Fabian Frei shot in off the post on 58 minutes to give Basel hope, and Alexander Frei's header, aided by awful defending from Rio Ferdinand, made it 2–2. With 15 minutes remaining, Basel were awarded a penalty and Alexander Frei sent David de Gea the wrong way to give Basel a shock lead and leave United on the brink of a first home defeat in almost 18 months. However, in the 90th minute, Ashley Young headed home Nani's cross at the back post to rescue a point. United could have nabbed all 3 points had substitute Dimitar Berbatov not shot into the side-netting rather than play it along the ground for a tap-in. Instead, United were forced to settle for a point, as they went down to 3rd in Group C. This was the first time since 1999 that United had failed to win either of their first two Champions League group stage matches.
