United responded immediately through a Ryan Giggs free-kick that took a large deflection off Christian Gentner in the Wolfsburg wall, wrong-footing goalkeeper Diego Benaglio, and found the bottom corner of the goal for Giggs' 150th for Manchester United. In the 78th minute, United won a throw-in on the left side, from which Evra found Wayne Rooney. Rooney played the ball in to Dimitar Berbatov in the Wolfsburg penalty area, but the Bulgarian was unable to make room for a shot and laid the ball off to Giggs. Likewise, Giggs could not find a shooting angle and chose to nudge the ball back to Carrick, who curled it into the far corner from outside the area. United protected their lead for the remaining 12 minutes, and the win took them to the top of their group.
This presented the possibility of former player David Beckham facing United for the first time since he was sold to Real Madrid in 2003. United opened their Champions League campaign with a 1–0 away win over Beşiktaş on 15 September. Paul Scholes headed in the winning goal in the 77th minute after Nani's shot had been saved by Hakan Arıkan. The Portuguese winger cut inside off the left wing, hit a shot that was too hot for the Beşiktaş goalkeeper to handle and the ball rebounded into the path of Scholes, whose header went in off the post.

Torres and Yossi Benayoun had late chances to steal a draw, but United held on for the win. Chelsea's draw with Blackburn later that day left United two points clear of Arsenal and four ahead of Chelsea, who had played a game less than both the Gunners and United. Chelsea ultimately won their game in hand to go second in the table, a point behind United. Beckham started the first leg on the right side of the Milan midfield and played a major part in the build-up to the first goal of the game; in the third minute, Patrice Evra gave away a free-kick 35 yards from goal, which Beckham crossed into the penalty area. Evra himself attempted an acrobatic clearance, but the ball only went as far as Ronaldinho on the edge of the penalty area. The Brazilian forward volleyed the ball towards goal, and United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar dropped to his right to block its trajectory; however, Michael Carrick got in the way first and it deflected off his legs and past Van der Sar.
However, it looked as though the game would end goal-less until just 17 seconds from the scheduled end of injury time, Scholes headed in a cross from Patrice Evra to win the match for United. This, coupled with a 2–1 win for Tottenham Hotspur over Chelsea left United just 1 point off the top of the table with 3 games remaining. Three days later, the Red Devils suffered their first defeat of the season, going down by a single goal at Burnley. United went behind after 19 minutes, as Robbie Blake hit a volley into the top corner of the net after Stephen Jordan's cross was only half-cleared by Patrice Evra. Blake himself conceded a penalty on the stroke of half-time, but Michael Carrick had his kick saved by Brian Jensen, low to the goalkeeper's right. As the Reds – wearing their all-black change strip – searched for an equaliser, the final ball kept evading them and several moves came to nothing, leaving United to endure a defeat by the newly promoted club.

Everton won the title four times in a row from 1984 to 1987, but the 1986 trophy was shared with Liverpool. Liverpool have also won three times in a row from 1988 to 1990, but they shared the 1990 trophy with Manchester United.
After going into the half-time interval 2–1 down, goals from Federico Macheda and Dimitar Berbatov led United to a 3–2 win. The final match of the tour was played in China on 26 July 2009 against Hangzhou Greentown at the Yellow Dragon Stadium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The semi-final draw was made on 2 December 2009 and paired United with local rivals Manchester City. The two-legged tie was the first time in nearly six years that the two sides had met in a cup tie, and the first time in over 40 years that they had played in a semi-final. The first leg was then scheduled for 19 January 2010 – the original date for the second leg, which was played on 27 January. By the time United played their penultimate game of the season – away to Sunderland – Chelsea had already won their penultimate game away to Liverpool and gone 4 points clear at the top of the table.

United then went to the City of Manchester Stadium to face Manchester City in the fourth Manchester derby of the season. United needed to win to have any chance of the title, whilst City wanted to win to prevent United having any title aspirations and to boost their own hopes of being in the UEFA Champions League the following season. Carlos Tevez had a first-half free-kick well saved by Edwin van der Sar, whilst Wayne Rooney , Ryan Giggs, Darren Fletcher and Paul Scholes all passed up chances for United. As the game entered added time, Patrick Vieira caused a scramble in the United penalty area, but the ball was eventually cleared.
Nevertheless, despite being reduced to ten men, the Red Devils increased their lead to 3–1 as Wayne Rooney slotted the ball through Cudicini's legs for the final goal of the game – Rooney's fifth in five league matches. The result took United to second place in the league table, behind unbeaten Chelsea and ahead of Manchester City, who had a game in hand. Giggs' goal continued his record of having scored a League goal in every Premier League season since the Premier League began in 1992–93, the only player to have done so. United faced their first "big four" opposition of the season on 29 August, when they hosted Arsenal at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney won a penalty for Manchester United in the 59th minute, knocking Ryan Giggs' through-ball past Manuel Almunia, who brought the English striker down.
The score reached 6–6 after seven penalties each before Jonny Evans saw his kick saved by Michael Rensing, allowing Daniel Van Buyten to seal the win for the host team. After returning to England, United played their final friendly of the summer at Old Trafford against Valencia on 5 August 2009. The result meant that United had been eliminated from the FA Cup at the third round stage for the first time under the management of Alex Ferguson – they last lost an FA Cup third round tie in 1984, when they were beaten 2–0 by Bournemouth at Dean Court. However, the top two swapped places after Chelsea defeated United 2–1 at Old Trafford in the next League game. Wayne Rooney was unable to play, having been injured at the end of the Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat by Bayern Munich and United clearly missed their main striker with a below-par performance.
Less than ten minutes later it was 2–0, Ryan Giggs shooting under the Stoke goalkeeper. Further goals in the second half – an own goal from former United player Danny Higginbotham and a late header from Park Ji-sung gave United a comfortable win, but one that was ultimately in vain as Chelsea hammered Wigan 8–0 to win the title. United returned to winning ways in the league with an ultimately comfortable 3–0 win at home to Burnley. Burnley held out well until just after the hour mark before Dimitar Berbatov opened the scoring from close range. Five minutes later, Wayne Rooney slotted home the second before Mame Biram Diouf scored his first United goal in injury time.
Wolfsburg began the game strongly, imposing themselves physically on the pitch, but although United had the upper hand by the end of the half, the teams went into the half-time interval at 0–0. After the break, United continued to create chances, but it was Wolfsburg who got the opening goal through striker Edin Džeko. Michael Carrick committed a foul on the edge of his penalty area, but the referee allowed play to continue as Wolfsburg were still in possession. The ball was crossed in by Makoto Hasebe and Džeko rose above Patrice Evra at the far post to head past Tomasz Kuszczak.
United had early chances but found it very difficult to put the ball in the back of the net. Everton created few chances and were saved by Leighton Baines and Joseph Yobo in the first 20 minutes as the Toffees held on. Michael Owen had a half chance to extend the lead for United shortly before half time when he timed his run perfectly to stay onside and latch onto Wayne Rooney's skilful flick. However, he would have done well to score from the tight angle as Howard quickly rushed out to block his shot. Carrick doubled the champions' lead with a low left-foot drive; Giggs' cross found a way back to him after a poor shot from Rooney and took a few touches before he picked out an unmarked Carrick at the edge of the box.
In fact, they had a third set of white socks, as the previous season’s away kit was retained as a third, disrupting the ‘v’ motif. This was worn against AC Milan and Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and there were white shorts available for this outfit too, though only seen in a pre-season friendly against FC Seoul. In a repeat of the 1994 final, United's opponents in the final were Aston Villa.
The challenge began outside the penalty area, but – on the advice of his assistant referee – official Howard Webb gave a penalty. Pepe Reina saved the kick from Wayne Rooney, but could only parry the ball back to the United forward who buried the rebound. The game remained at 1–1 until the hour mark when Park Ji-sung scored a close-range diving header from a Darren Fletcher cross.
However, the second leg saw Wayne Rooney get a surprise start after Sir Alex had claimed that he wouldn't risk making the injury any worse. The striker got involved early by setting up Darron Gibson's third-minute goal to give United the advantage. Four minutes later, Nani scored a second with a clever flick set up by Antonio Valencia. Nani netted again with a strike from range after Rooney had failed to control Rafael's cross. With a two-goal advantage on aggregate and an away goal from the first leg, United were in the driving seat but a close range goal from Olić before half time altered the mood, meaning that Bayern only needed one more goal to be heading through. In the second half, an early sending off for Rafael weakened the side and chances came few and far between, especially as Nani was left to play alone up front following Rooney being substituted for John O'Shea.
That had matching shorts, while the yellow top utilised yet another black set. Pleasingly, the same Victory template as on the home and away kits was carried over to the goalkeepers’ strips. Two years previously, they had also had a black second shirt in the style of the home and that was trimmed in red, so perhaps Nike were seeking to avoid suggestions of unoriginality by going with blue as the accent colour. As usual, United were happy to change shorts and socks away from home rather than wearing an away kit. Sometimes, this was almost to an overkill level, as white socks were used against the blue of Blackburn and Birmingham. United announced early in the transfer window that they had agreed a world record fee of £80 million to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.
