Manchester United once again won another Barclays title, yet this time it was different. It was the 19th title !
One of the forgotten things of the season was the fact that United went 24 games, nearly seven months without a defeat, something that certainly contributed to them winning this season's title, but it also underlined the club's never-say-die attitude. Throughout this season, United were either faced with depths of a defeat or draw, but, time and time again, they rose above to get a positive result. This, in itself, is what made this season so special, but yet at the same time, so frustrating that they even were in the position to begin with.
Everyone thought that the season began in the best possible way with the Reds winning the FA Community Shield over Chelsea and kicking off the Premier League season with an emphatic result against Newcastle at Old Trafford.
The Reds have always been known as the ones scoring late goals, however, they were ones that were subjected to this sinking feeling quite a few times this season, especially at the beginning. However, it took United until the middle of October to finally secure three points from their rivals.

Javier Hernandez has gone from a virtually unknown prodigy to a welcomed goal scoring machine since he arrived from Mexico. It a foreign environment, a very physical league nobody thought that the 22-year stood a chance of making an instant impact, but Chicharito made a name for himself by scoring priceless after priceless goals for United. 20 goals in his first season from the young kid with a captivating smile is more than anyone could have asked or wanted from him, but now with experience and understanding Hernandez should be scoring that amount every season.
Many think that Hernandez scored the most goals for United this season, but that feat belong to none other than one of the most respectable, but dynamic players to play for United in the last couple of years. Dimitar Berbatov doubled the amount of goals that he scored in the two previous by notching 21 this season - taking the Barclays Premier League's Golden Boot Award. Up until this season, the Bulgarian center forward never lived up to the pressure of having the most expensive transfer fee every splashed out for a player, but he scored a hat-trick of hat-tricks - including five in one game this year. However, what Dimitar will be forever remembered for is not for his silky touch or moments of genius, but for being the first United player in the modern day to register a treble of goals against Liverpool.
The 2010/11 season will be commemorated for United surpassing their so-called great rival by winning their record 19th top-flight title, but it will also be reminisced as the swan song for three of the world's greatest players at their respective positions.
Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Edwin van der Sar all called it a day on their honorable careers, and the supporters will be forever grateful for that they were able to call these players one of their own. Neville was the first to bow after he admirably admitted that he was unable to carry on at the game's highest level as he retired before the season came to a close, which saw him miss out on his ninth Premier League medal. van der Sar came to the conclusion that he was not going to play another season in December, but there were definitely times in the tail end of the season that the big goalkeeper thought twice of playing another season. Finally, Scholes sadly announced his retirement just days after the season came to an end, and even though his last game ended on a sour note, the midfielder received massive amounts of plaudits and respect from some of the game's biggest names for his contributions and ability to the sport.
Everyone, even rival supporters, know that Manchester United never fail to thrill or impress, so by admitting that, 2010/11 can just be seen as yet another successful season for the club.
