I couldn’t really think of opponents more suitable than Sunderland on the 25th anniversary of Sir Alex Ferguson being appointed as the manager of Manchester United. A team managed by one of Ferguson’s early signings, a former captain and a man who lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time for our club. Not [...]

I’m sure there were more than a few eyebrows raised when the team was announced on Saturday lunchtime, a team without Rooney and Nani, Phil Jones in midfield to play against one of United’s most bitter rivals, had Fergie lost the plot? The preceding international matches and the players who had been involved along with the forthcoming European [...]
One point for a draw away to Stoke City, not quite the result or the performance we’d quite hoped for especially considering the results and the performances in previous league games. Stoke are often labelled as being dirty and aggressive and for managers like Arsene Wenger they are a menace to football in its purest [...]
The match on Sunday against Chelsea was definitely the most difficult test of the season so far and I can’t help think that we got away with it; on any other day we could very well have seen our first defeat of the season. At the end of the season, the only thing that will matter is [...]

No. 19 here we come! It was brilliant. United didn’t wait for Chelsea to come at them or play for a draw. In true United (and Fergie) fashion , we attacked from the first minute, scoring after 37 seconds through the signing of the century, Chicharito. We were the better side throughout and the win [...]
We never do it the easy way do we?It didn’t sit easy with me as people continued to suggest the title race was over. I was talking to Ian Wright on Absolute radio last week and they laughed at me when I suggested we hadn’t won the league yet. The loss to Arsenal means we [...]
Javier Hernandez bagged a brace to take his tally to 16 for the season as Man United saw off the challenge of French Champions Marseille with a 2-1 win at the Theatre of Dreams. There was a general feeling of uneasiness in relation to this tie mainly down to the fact that United had not [...]
Despite the result tonight at Stamford Bridge there is still positives to be taken from the game from a Manchester United perspective. The performance level was a lot better than recent weeks and some individuals deserve praise for their efforts. Other than a harsh penalty decision United would have drawn the game and taken another [...]
