Why Chelsea Should Begin To Worry About Manchester United

Brandon EvansSep 30, 2008

If Manchester United's recent victory sent any message to their domestic title rivals, it's that they have got an equallyย strong and interchangeable team that is yet to hit its peak. United created masses of chances,ย played elegantly with pace, skill, and conviction and above all showed their title contenders that theyย are still veryย capable of throwing a spanner in the works at Stamfordย Bridge this season.

As convincing and dominating as United where they also demonstrated that they have a squad as strong as Chelsea's if not better attacking wise.ย Influential players likeย Scholes and Rooney came off alongย withย Rafael DaSilva, and were replaced with players just as capable of creating opportunities for the front men.

An interchangeable squad and a wealth of options in most positions is exacltyย what is needed to challenge for the titleย realistically and despite United's slow start,ย they have proved they have it in abundance.

Dimitar Berbatov has also gone a long way to silencing the critics who were claiming he hadn't exactly set the world alightย since his ยฃ30 million move toย the Mancunian club. His link up play with the attacking players was breathtaking to watch and he proved he can be just as important for his team as the season progresses.

Chelsea have a chance tonight to send just as much of a message back to Old Trafford when they play in the Champions League, as I'm sure Sir Alex Ferguson will be interested in the result and the effect it has on their title ambitions.ย So far this season Chelsea haven't shown fullyย that they have a catalogue ofย higher quality performances they are yet toย delve into.ย Man Utd however have shown that they are just heating up.ย 

Ifย the Chelsea faithful thought that their displays in the EPL so far where enough to comfortably romp to the title this season, Manchester United's recent performanceย albeit against a low par team has gone a long way to show thatย Chelsea have considerably moreย to worry aboutย than initially anticipated.ย
