Manchester United’s recent 3-0 victory over Fulham has given them a five-point advantage at the top of the premier league table. United’s hope of defending the league title has received another boost with this victory and they are now eyeing for five trophies this season including premier league, FA Cup, Carling Cup, World Club Cup and Champions League.

With five points lead at the top, Manchester United’s title hope in premier league is very much active, while they have already reached the final of Carling Cup where they will face Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester United will have to face an easy opponent (either Swansea City or Fulham) in the sixth round of FA Cup. However, Manchester Untied is expected to face a stiff challenge from Inter Milan when they will face the Italian giants in the last 16 of Champions League next week. That means, Manchester United is now eyeing for quintuple which is very rare in world football.
