“I’ll be clear,” said Gill. “Last year our target was 54,000 season tickets, we’ve sold 51,800, which is pretty good in the current climate. [...]
Jose Mourinho, who once ripped Cristiano Ronaldo to shreds in the media when he was a young lad, insulting his supposed lower class background and poor education, has today jumped to his defence.

Rumour had it that Sir Alex Ferguson had told Bebe to put a stop to the hair do he sported when signing for United. We dismissed that on RoM. Fergie was a lot more strict in the past with such things, which once prompted a rumour that Nani had been told to stop his extravagant [...]
After spending all summer changing his mind on Tom Cleverley’s future, Sir Alex Ferguson eventually decided to loan our youngster out to Wigan.
Whilst Tom would have loved to stay at United and get a go this season, he agrees that getting regular first team football in the Premiership would be better for [...]
The hierarchy for captaincy last season was Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs then Rio Ferdinand. If they were missing, like Nev and Rio mostly were last season, then it would have fallen to Nemanja Vidic, but he was injured for most of the season too, which meant 5th in line Patrice Evra got to wear our [...]

It was announced today that Tom Cleverley has joined Wigan on a season long loan, after a will-he-won’t-he summer, with Sir Alex Ferguson initially stating our England U-21 midfielder would go out on loan, before changing his mind a few weeks ago. After some impressive pre-season performances, the manager thought Cleverley would be best used [...]

If there’s any chance whatsoever of Owen Hargreaves ever being able to come back as a professional footballer for Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has to select him in his 25-man squad.
