High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 2005-06 season was Manchester United's 14th season in the Premier League, and their 31st consecutive season in the top division of English football. After having finished in third place in both of the previous two seasons, the Red Devils improved slightly to finish the 2005-06 season in second place, despite finishing 8 points off the lead. However, despite the improvement in their league form, United's European form took a massive blow, with the club failing to reach the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 1993-94. The club fared well in the FA Cup, reaching the Fifth Round, but their real success came in the Carling Cup, in which they beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 in the final. United scored their 1000th Premier League goal on 29 October, in a 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside. Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the milestone.
