Danny Prescott

Danny Prescott has been watching Manchester United through good times and bad since his dad first took him to Old Trafford as a kid growing up in Salford. He has spent years arguing about formations in pub car parks and typing those same arguments up properly, which is more or less how he ended up writing about football for a living. He covers everything from matchday analysis to the transfer window, with a particular soft spot for breaking down how United set up in midfield and why it so often goes wrong.
