The problem of replacing Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes became apparent a few years ago when the players crept in to their 30’s. The pair had been such a vital part of our team for so many years, the prospect of replacing their skill, as well as their presence and experience, was not one we […]

Half time of the Spain vs Russia game last night and I heard the familiar voice of Eric Cantona.
I looked up to see Cantona in full armour, chest puffed out as we’ve seen many times before, speaking in his thick French accent.
“Sons of England,” he said. “Elimination is painful and the wound has yet to […]

Ole Gunnar Solsjaer’s place in our history books was cemented when scored against Bayern Munich during injury time in the European Cup final to win us the trophy, however our love for him runs much deeper than that.

With Giggs’ having two shirts dedicated to him at the MancuniaMerchandise.com shop, we thought it was only fair that red legend Paul Scholes was honoured with a design.

Eric Cantona confessed last week that he would be interested in taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson as United manager. With Fergie fancying retirement in 2-3 years, Cantona has a wait ahead, so is filling his time with more acting roles.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been a loyal servant to Manchester United, most favourably remembered for his good nature and total professionalism on the pitch, as much as that winning goal in the Nou Camp to crown United Champions of Europe.

The fixture lists were announced yesterday, showing United to have away Premiership fixtures following all of their key Champions League games.
The managers of all clubs playing in Europe often have a thing or two to say about the timing of league games in relation to the games they have to play on the continent.

Eric Cantona, the best player to grace the Premiership, is a player United fans idolise, over 10 years after he left the club. The greatness of the man can be measured by the feelings he inspires in the red faithful, who have seen more than their fair share of great players, but still hold Cantona […]
