Cristiano Ronaldo was unstoppable, scoring 31 league goals and winning the Premier League Golden Boot. His free-kick against Portsmouth and dazzling solo runs became the stuff of legend, helping United maintain pressure on title rivals Arsenal and Chelsea throughout the season.

Tactical Brilliance and Squad Depth
