Eric Steele began his playing career as a goalkeeper at Newcastle United in 1972. His next club was Peterborough United where he established himself as first-choice keeper and set a record for most consecutive league appearances (124) that still stands today. Within the next 12 years he moved from club to Brighton & Hove Albion, [...]
Last night, Jose Mourinho showed the negative side of his character which contributed to him not being offered the United job he dreamed of. No doubt Sir Bobby Charlton, who has never been keen on Mourinho, would have been watching last night’s Copa del Rey final with a smug smile on his face. April 24th [...]
Albert Morgan has reflected on the impact Eric Cantona had on the club, particularly the youngsters that were coming through the ranks, with the likes of Scholes, Beckham, Butt and the Nevilles sharing his dedication to hard work and improvement. “He was a big influence on the other lads because he was the first one [...]
Manchester United’s kitman, Albert Morgan, mush have more than his fair share of stories to tell about our club and players, having joined the club in 1996. Albert has reflected on one of our greatest ever players, Eric Cantona, and can sum up the great man in one word. “Iconic,” he said. “There will never [...]
Following Manchester United’s exit from Europe thanks to a ridiculous red card decision, it was Mike Phelan who addressed the press, not Sir Alex Ferguson. Our #2 claimed that the manager who too “distraught” to answer questions on the game at that time. There had been rumours that Sir Alex Ferguson may have been considering [...]
Sir Bobby Charlton played host to families of the Hillsborough victims at Old Trafford yesterday. Our ambassador was involved in the tribute that was paid to those that lost their life at Hillsborough ahead of our game against Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the season too.
Sir Bobby Charlton has yet again reiterated his opinion that Jose Mourinho doesn’t have the right character to be manager of Manchester United. “A United manager wouldn’t do that,” Charlton said, referring to Mourinho gouging Tito Vilanova’s eye, then Barcelona’s assistant coach, in the 2011 Spanish Super Cup. “Mourinho is a really good coach but [...]
Sir Alex Ferguson would be the first to admit that he doesn’t have enough European Cup wins to his name to match the quality of the teams he has produced in almost 26 years at Manchester United. Whilst his early years were hampered by the ridiculous three foreigners rule, meaning that only three from Eric [...]
The club have today announced that Director of Youth Football, Jimmy Ryan, is retiring. He started his career at United when he was a teenager after moving down from Scotland to play for our youth team.

Richard Arnold has been Manchester United’s Commercial Director for five years and is responsible for the commercial operations at the club, including media relationships, merchandising, sponsorship, marketing and sales.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer once turned down the offer of becoming the manager of the Norwegian national team in favour of staying in charge of our Reserves. “I work for Manchester United and my career is going in the right direction,” he said. “It would have been exciting to take on a much bigger job than [...]
Just days ago, first team coach Rene Meulensteen claimed that United weren’t scared of anyone this season and reckoned Chelsea were too old. “Chelsea have just made one major signing in Juan Mata,” he said. “Besides, Chelsea’s squad is too old, and their tempo is not high enough to win the Premier League.” This is [...]
When the trademarked Special One was at Chelsea, I was an advocate of him. No doubt he brought something interesting to the table that other foreign managers simply don’t. Wenger, Benitez and the rest are generally as dull as dishwater. And as much as we already had cause to dislike him for his hop, skip [...]
Sir Alex Ferguson claimed that Manchester United had finished their business for the summer. “We are not looking at the moment but we are looking at combinations of central midfielders now at the club,” he claimed earlier this week, much to the horror of United fans.
