Ahead of last night’s Champions League final, I wasn’t half as nervous as I expected I’d be. Of course, there were some nerves, and the hour leading up to kick off felt like the longest of my life, but I was far more excited than I was scared. It was written in the stars, the […]

Andrei Kanchelskis was a top quality United player, bombing down the wing long before the days of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. With the cuff of his shirt in his hand, he provided goals for the likes of Eric Cantona and Mark Hughes. He was also capable of scoring the odd goal or two for […]

Patrice Evra is carrying a yellow in the Champions League, meaning another booking against Barcelona on Tuesday would see him miss the final.

Sir Alex Ferguson
“We have to score. If we do, that means we have a good chance as the atmosphere at Old Trafford (next Tuesday) will be electric,” he told MUTV. “On so many occasions over the years, I’ve referred to the fans as the 12th man. We want to make sure it’s a real sea […]
