Despite a positive start to the campaign United's 2009/10 campaign had an unpleasant sting after Chelsea's last-minute surge to the win ended the Reds chances of winning their fourth consecutive title by just one points in the race that continued until the end during the entire season.
There was some consolation that could be noted in re-securing of the League Cup, achieved at Aston Villa's expense, and won by a last-minute winner of Wayne Rooney, whose individual performance was acknowledged with the PFA Player's Award for Player of the Year as well as Football Writers Award for Player of the Year. award.
Even with that single piece silverware that was presented, 2009/10's season was notable for the increased stakes of the Manchester derby and a club takeover increasing the ambitions that was Manchester City and putting them in the spotlight for honors. The United's local authority was exercised in a positive manner, but by winning away and home Premier League wins and a League Cup semi-final triumph, with every win being won during injury-time.
Both Manchester clubs had a plan to taking their Premier League trophy back to the North-West when the 2010/11 season was beginning, and the United team was bolstered by the low-key signings of promising young players Javier Hernandez and Chris Smalling.
While not well-known The pair quickly bonded with the squad . And despite a period that was largely uninspired away from home, United reclaimed the title for the 19th time under the domestic title. Although Rooney was the star of the 2009/10 season with his incredible performances on the field the 2010/11 campaign was more of a team achievement.
From goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar - in his final season with the club - to the enduring impact that was Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes through to the rejuvenated Rooney the entire team was in motion during the time Chelsea were slain.
A record-breaking performance at home was the pillar of the team's success, but in Europe it was the mediocre away form that pushed the Reds to the second Champions League final against Barcelona This time, it was at Wembley. The third time in the space of three seasons, Lionel Messi and co were too much for United at the end of the day however it was the record 19th league win that was the reason for an exciting season in the midst of Old Trafford.
The attempt to swiftly bring twenty into history appeared solid in the beginning of the 2011/12 season. Sir Alex Ferguson strengthened his squad by signing David De Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young, while homegrown talent Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck were promoted to regularity at the senior level.
Despite an incredible beginning to the season, the Reds were hit by a flurry of injuries, as well as a crushing home loss to City who been the only real contenders to the title. They had fought back admirably in the face of the odds - and welcoming Scholes returning in a stunning retirement U-turn United slowly drew back Roberto Mancini's squad and, with only a month remaining they had taken an eight-point lead.
However, a rapid-fire sequence of results that were not great caused City to take the lead in the final stretch and secure their first trophy in 44 years in a heartbreaking way, scoring twice during late injury-time on the last day of the season . They defeated Queens Park Rangers and top the table in goal-to-goal ratio.
Naturally Sir Alex continued to be adamant, and congratulated the new champions , while cautioning "We're dismayed at losing that lead of eight points, but I'm not going to make any regrets for one of my teammates. They're all good youngsters and will be perfectly fine. Do not worry about it."
Sir Alex's prediction was proved correct within a mere 12 months after his team, which was sacked by the bitter disappointment of earlier and buoyed by the signings from Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa, won an historic 20th league championship. The victory was sealed on the 22nd of April, 2013 by the leading goal-scorer van Persie appropriately netting a three-goal hat-trick during a stunning home victory against Aston Villa.
