As the build up continues and gathers pace for the big game this Saturday against our hated arch-rivals, Liverpool, the team we love to hate and that too with a passion wherever you are in the globe, let’s take a glimpse back in the not so distant past; to last Sunday to be precise. It [...]

Expectations are high at Manchester United and rightly so. Stirring comebacks are seen as mere indicators of the spirit ingrained in Sir Alex’s teams and are no longer viewed as remarkable because they happen so often. Without even glimpsing at past results, it is possible to plunder the memory bank for the Reds’ incredible powers [...]

Edwin van der Sar has urged David De Gea to stand up to the rigours of the Premier League and fulfil his talent. De Gea was brought in during the summer as a replacement for the retired van der Sar, but has enjoyed mixed fortunes so far this season. Sharing the #1 spot with Anders [...]

Think back to the start of January. We had just lost two on the bounce and were facing City away in the FA Cup. Following our 6-1 mauling earlier in the season, many had predicted defeat for United at the Etihad Stadium; the final nail in the coffin that was United’s season. Whilst things weren’t [...]

Manchester United produced a great comeback to take a point away from Stamford Bridge after going 3-0 down. Two Wayne Rooney penalties and a header from Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez cancelled out a Jonny Evans own goal as well as efforts from Juan Mata and David Luiz. Sir Alex Ferguson commended his players after the comeback [...]

Manchester United not only helps turn boys into men, but it helps make men into fine men. Prior to joining us Rio Ferdinand had somewhat of a negative reputation, but as he has matured at the club you have seen the growth in him not only as player, but as a person. There have been a number [...]

Now the title of this one might be rather annoying to some fans. Many (me included) have seen Tom Cleverley becoming something of a savior for our team. In truth, when we were 2-0 down against City in the Community Shield a while back, I was one among the many millions who were screaming for [...]

In the sport of football we deal with hyperbole all the time. “Best player ever”, “Hottest young talent in the world”; statements like these are thrown around frequently and although people will put their mortgage on such claims, they are all subjective. There are people who will say Maradona is the best player ever, some [...]

With John Terry being stripped of the England captaincy, former captain Rio Ferdinand has ruled out a return to his previous position. Ferdinand took over when Terry was initially stripped in February 2010, but had the captaincy taken off him and handed back to Terry just over a year later. This caused somewhat of a [...]

Having made his Premier League bow in the New Years Eve loss to Blackburn, Will Keane is hoping for more first team opportunities this season. The striker is highly thought of at Old Trafford, and having been an integral part of the team that won the FAYC last season, scoring twice in the 2nd leg [...]

Former Manchester United star Quinton Fortune has paid tribute to the resurgent Antonio Valencia as United press to retain their league crown. Fortune, who frequents Carrington, has seen first hand the work Valencia has put in to over come injury and feels since returning this season, the Ecuadorian winger has more than proved himself a [...]

Paul Pogba made his Premier League debut against Stoke on Tuesday, showing glimpses of his talent. There has been a huge buzz about Pogba since he signed for United in 2009 and even more so in light of news that his contract is running out, but as with every player fans are more interested in [...]

This title race is something else. Yes, as usual, Liverpool have proved to be weaker than everyone thought and Arsenal have yet again failed to plug the gaps at the back, but it’s the title tug-of-war between us and Manchester neighbours that threatens to shred our nerves well into May. Both teams have played super football [...]

The statistics this morning read; Manchester United joint top but still second in the table due to an inferior goal difference compared to that of Manchester City. Our neighbours lost thanks to a goal by an ex-Red Devil, the most recent one to move to the blue half of Liverpool, Darron Gibson. Ironically, his departure [...]

Frederic Veseli left Manchester City due to a lack of progress under Roberto Mancini, according to his agent. The Swiss defender was Manchester United’s only deadline day signing and having expressed his delight at the chance to wear the red shirt of United, his agent Adam Bouskouchi has today explained why his client was eager [...]
