Successful Season for United
As I predicted in my last blog, Manchester United ended up winning the Premier League as well as the Champions League after a dramatic penalty shoot-out (after Chelsea's shoot-out loss against Burnley, they have now lost their last 5 shoot-outs). The result meant it was the most succesful season for any English Club since 1999 when Manchester United done one better by winning the Treble.

The only game they not win outright was a their penalty success against Italy after a 0-0 draw in the quater finals.
