Being a Manchester United fan during the January transfer market made some feel like they were children again. Sitting inside your house watching your friends have fun outside, through your window. We felt grounded and that’s pretty much been the case ever since the Glazers took over in 2005, with a few exceptions. However, on…

As a United fan, an injury crisis is expected, as it isn’t a United season, without something not going to plan… The ‘United Way’, has always been to call on our youth squad before going anywhere else, when we are having trouble with our starting eleven.

The FA Cup third round brought together a mouth-watering fixture between the countries top two sides. Often such ties become dull tactical affairs brought on scale of the fixture.

Manchester United have been drawn away against Manchester City in the 3rd round of the FA Cup. I personally don’t think we could have asked for a better draw today.

After the 2-2 draw against Benfica at Old Trafford last night, Sir Alex Ferguson was asked whether he thought the two top teams in England (United and City) were struggling in Europe due to the Premier League weakening. He repeated the word ‘struggling’ and replied saying “Are you serious? We’re not struggling,” before leaving the…

Manchester United suffered a humiliating defeat against their ‘noisy neighbors’ today. However, Darren Fletcher’s goal was one of the few positives we can take from the game.

They are two types of humiliating defeats in Manchester United’s psyche. They are the “f….disgraces” days and they are the “just another day in the history of Manchester United” days. This one was more of the latter type. A balanced game, a marginal 0-1 deficit, a sending off, and then a desperate attack against a…

Biggest surprise from today’s selection is the absence of Nemanja Vidic, who isn’t even on the bench. We can only assume he’s injured. Manchester United XI: de Gea; Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Nani, Darren Fletcher, Anderson, Young; Welbeck, Rooney. Bench: Lindegaard, Jones, Park, Hernandez, Berbatov, Fabio, Valencia. Manchester City XI: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Barry, Toure,…
