Steven Pienaar’s late equaliser left the red half of Manchester shocked and frustrated. It was a blow to Uniteds title hopes, but it’s still ours to lose. United began the game in rather…

Welbeck hungry to win the league
Written on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 by Dale O'Donnell in Players, Premier League
Danny Welbeck has insisted that he is hungry for Manchester United to retain the Premier League title and beat City in the run-in. With the Reds sitting just two points behind first-place City in the league table, it’s important that we go on a good run of wins without showing complacency against the smaller clubs. And City…
VIDEO: Scholes, Welbeck & Carricks goals vs Bolton
Written on Saturday, January 14, 2012 by Dale O'Donnell in Goals, Highlights
Manchester United took on a Bolton side that were sitting fourteenth in the Premier League table. The Reds managed to take three points after winning 3-0 at Old Trafford with goals from Paul Scholes, Danny Welbeck and Michael Carrick. Owen Coyle’s men went home with nothing.
The emergence of Danny Welbeck this season has given Sir Alex Ferguson a selection headache when the time to choose who partners Wayne Rooney up front arrives. When Javier Hernandez was diagnosed with concussion during Pre-Season and was ruled out for up to 4 weeks, Welbeck saw his chance to impress in the opening games…
Manchester United’s most recent visit to Goodison park ended successfully with the reds picking up a much needed three points to bounce back after the, lets just say, poor showing against City. However, something that may have been just as important happened under the radar that day. Sir Alex’s team selection did raise a few eyebrows and…
Reaction to win over Norwich
Written on Saturday, October 1, 2011 by Dale O'Donnell in Match Reports
1. A definite contender for the least enjoyable game of the season. Based on the performance, we can count ourselves lucky. We granted the Canaries enough chances to cause an upset but thanks to poor finishing, particularly from Steve Morison, that wasn’t the case. We found it difficult to create real chances in the first…
Reaction to draw with FC Basel
Written on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 by Dale O'Donnell in Champions League, Match Reports
1. United played with an over-relaxed attitude, taking 10 minutes to actually wake up. For a short period of time, we switched the ball brilliantly from side to side, across the pitch. The Swiss champions couldn’t keep up with our movement, therefore, we punished them by scoring two goals in the same space of time….
I’m sure he won’t mind me name checking him (hopefully) as he poses an interesting argument. This week BBC Manchester’s Liam Bradford took to weekly show Red Wednesday to chastise Danny Welbeck after what he perceived to be an ‘atrocious performance’ against Spurs on Monday. My initial reaction was surprise considering Welbeck was awarded Sky’s…

This is the third of Stretty News’ three part series on the United Season. Part One can be found here and Part Two here.

Guest Post: What I look for in a ‘perfect XI’
Written on Friday, April 15, 2011 by Guest Writer in Players
Growing up in India, it is a normal thing to find yourself crowded with cricket obsessed people, giving their expert views on each and every aspect of the game. I, being no exception, was growing up in the same circumstances. But the FIFA World Cup 2006 held in Germany attracted my attention towards football. Sitting…
