The game between Manchester United and Chelsea was always going to be an intense one when you consider the previous fixtures between the sides, and the added bonus that both teams needed the three points, but for very different reasons.
Chelsea were desperate to reclaim leadership of the Premier League after Arsenal took the lead on Saturday, while Manchester United ideally needed a win to try and catch up with the top three.

While EA Sports has released a nice batch of information and footage on FIFA 09, there has been limited discussion of Manchester United and the role that the famed club will play in the game.
Taking a look at the demo, it can be assumed that Manchester United will be one of the best ranked teams in the game. While Man Utd was not included in the demo (surprisingly), the club should match up well compared to Chelsea and Milan, which were the best rated teams in the demo. The only issue for ManU fans is that there is a lot of competition in the game, ranging from National teams to even the Major League Soccer league in North America.
When the game launches in October, Manchester United should be one of the best teams in the entire game. While it may not eventually match up with some of the National teams (for obvious reasons), it should be able to hold its own against the rest of the competition. Manchester United will be a great team for all FIFA 09 players, regardless of skill level.
