September 2010

Persistent rumours continue to circulate this week concerning the future of Michael Owen. The former Liverpool striker has been a bit part player at best since arriving at United in last year. That one goal against City was special and will forever be etched in our memory. It was one of those moments when pure [...]

This was a massively disappointing return to the Champions League for United for any number of reasons. This was supposed to be the glorious return of Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand in a comfortable win for United. It didn’t pan out that way. And in truth, it wasn’t even close. The result was obviously frustrating [...]

There was a lot of negative press surrounding United after the Rooney story broke but his performances for [...]

Episode 3 of the weekly video podcast. This week we talk about Rooney, his hookers and the effect it may have on the club. We also talk Bebe and discuss if Fletcher can one day emulate Roy Keane. Give us your opinions!

Last night Portugal U21 played England in a game that featured some of United’s finest young talent. This was, in particular, an opportunity to have a proper look at Bebe amidst rumours surrounding his ability, or lack there of. Our man on the ground in Portugal, Nuno Barreto, was able to give us a run-down [...]
