One of many crunch games taking place this Sunday. United are only 1 point ahead of Liverpool in 2nd place and although they've already qualified for Europe, Pride is at stake. The controversary has already begun with news that Ruud Van Nistelrooy has been spotted leaving Old Trafford before kick off... could it be true that he's finally on the way out? It is also Charlton Manager Alan Curbishley's last game as Manager. Will his team do him proud and make his last match a winning one?

Possible Teams: Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Howard, Neville, Ferdinand, Brown, Vidic, Silvestre, Evra, Ronaldo, Fletcher, O'Shea, Giggs, Richardson, Park, Van Nistelrooy (?), Saha, Rossi. Charlton (from): Mhyre, Andersen, Sankofa, Sorondo, Fortune, Perry, Powell, Kishishev, Lisbie, Holland, Hughes, Ambrose, D Bent, Bartlett, Rommedahl, Sam, Euell.

Even though I am a Spurs fan, I have to say Ruud van Nistelrooy's behaviour is an insult to the Moan Utd fans. Surely the team will be doing a lap of honour after the game to thank the fans for their support, so him going home in a strop because he wasn't picked just shows how much the fans mean to him.

*waves to Carole* Funnily enough the fans on one of the Forums I'm on are angry with SAF. They think he's behaved badly! lol xx

Nothing much happening here.

Shot by Giuseppe Rossi (Man Utd) right-footed from right channel (25 yards), save (caught) by Stephan Andersen (Charlton).

Kieran Richardson (MUFC) just had a shot which hit the post.

Ryan Giggs with a corner, Louis Saha headers the ball into the goal. GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

Cristiano Ronaldo (MUFC) has just scored. 2 goals in 5 minutes!??!

29:50 Cross by Ryan Giggs (Man Utd), shot by Louis Saha (Man Utd) left-footed from centre of penalty area (18 yards), save (punched) by Stephan Andersen (Charlton). 28:46 Shot by Louis Saha (Man Utd) right-footed from centre of penalty area (18 yards), missed right. Goal kick taken long by Stephan Andersen (Charlton).

Own goal scored by Jason Euall (Charlton).

Halftime. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Paul Scholes are on the bench, looks like Ferguson might make a sentimental change in the second half. Score is 3-0 but could be 5 or 6.

Kieran Richardson having played superbly finally gets his much wanted goal. Bad news - He got booked for taking his shirt off. Good news - Can't be anything but positive in regards to his campaign to go to Germany this Summer.

I am a Chrlton fan gutted I missed this game....but I found out about 2/3 years later that I am related to Ryan Giggs
