There are few greater rivalries in the English game than that of Liverpool and Manchester United, scousers and mancs. Although not a local derby in the truest sense, the pride and passion among both sets of fans sets it apart from the rest. Genuine disdain lingers between the supporters of the two clubs and the [...]

Man United v Chelsea Preview

You wouldn’t think only two points separate United and Chelsea in the league table given the contrasting starts to the season both clubs have endured since the opening day on the 13th of August. United have steamrolled their way to the top of the Premier League, scoring eighteen goals in the process and conceding just [...]

What United Can Expect from Benfica

A new Champions League season is upon us and United will look to bring their strong league form into the European arena. Our man in Portugal, Nuno Barreto, gives us the lowdown on what we can expect from Benfica: This is the the thoughest match-up of the group for United and if everything goes as [...]

It all comes down to this. The title will be basically decided on this one game. A win or draw for United and league title no.19 is on its way to Old Trafford. If Chelsea prevail, it is difficult to see us recovering to regain the title. Not impossible but the momentum would certianly be [...]

It is not done yet. We have one foot in the final but let us not forget that Schalke put five past Inter in their last Champions League away game. There will almost certainly be changes in the United team, with Wazza being one of them. Rooney has a slight hamstring strain that could see him rested. The [...]

United return to Premier League action on Tuesday following the FA Cup disappointment at Wembley on Saturday. United’s FA Cup involvement provided the Gooners with the chance to move to within four points of the league leaders but Arsene Wenger’s side could only manage a point against Liverpool on Sunday, following another ‘bottle’. The Emirates draw means [...]

United go into this Champions League quarter-final second leg against Chelsea with Rafael the only real injury doubt. The 20-year-old Brazilian dynamo suffered a knee injury in last week’s 1-0 first-leg win, and though a scan showed there was no ligament damage, Fergie remains  unsure whether to risk him. The 20-year-old failed to take a [...]

Man Utd v Fulham Preview

Man Utd head in their game against Fulham without the in form Wayne Rooney due to a suspension which has been well publicised during the week. This is a game where no less than 3 points will do for United who look to take one more step towards their 19th league title. The earlier meeting [...]

United travel to Stamford Bridge tomorrow looking for their first win there since 2001. It’s been a pretty miserable record over the past few years but there are positives to take from recent visits to the Bridge. United have been very unfortunate to lose the last two league encounters and there is a certain feeling [...]
