Manchester United recorded their 11th win in 14 Premier League home games with a 2-0 victory over relegation threatened Sunderland at Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney scored twice as the Red Devils moved up to third position in the table, ahead of top four rivals’ Arsenal and Liverpool’s games on Sunday. The game was overshadowed by [...]
With his two goals against Sunderland today, Wayne Rooney has become the first player in Premier League history to score at least 10 goals a season for 11 years running. He’s currently on 10 goals from 23 appearances, putting him the joint 8th (with Van Persie) highest scorer in the league, which isn’t bad going [...]
An excruciating defeat at the Liberty Stadium last weekend now leaves Manchester United in a precarious position in their attempts to regain Champions League football at the first time of asking. Having looked relatively sub-standard for some time whilst still grinding out positive results, ironically it was a more improved showing from Louis van Gaal’s [...]
Following Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat against Swansea, captain Wayne Rooney claims that United deserved all three points. It is disappointing to go in front and then lose the game. I thought the performance was good, we dominated the game, particularly in the second half. Swansea were struggling to get out of their area but we [...]

In the summer of 2013, Wayne Rooney wanted to leave Manchester United and Chelsea were the favourites to sign him. Having been played out of position on a number of occasions under Sir Alex Ferguson, who had since retired, Rooney later voiced his unhappiness in being used as a midfielder instead of a striker. For [...]
Wayne Rooney appears to be wasted in midfield at the moment. He struggles to have the same impact on the game as he does when he plays up front, and his inclusion in the centre of the park means that superior midfielders, like Ander Herrera, miss out. Louis van Gaal has claimed that Rooney is [...]
Manchester United defeated Burnley 3-1 to move back up to third place in the Premier League table. An unusual brace from centre back Chris Smalling and a Robin Van Persie penalty sent an extremely under par United above Southampton, who were held to a goalless draw at home to West Ham. Louis Van Gaal opted [...]
Manchester United snatched a late leveller against West Ham on Sunday to record their sixth away league draw of the season.

Over the past few months, Manchester United have regularly struggled when it comes to creativity. Only Chelsea and Southampton have a better defensive record than United this season, with the former conceding one less and Southampton five. This comes as a surprise when you consider how harshly criticised the defence is. Of course, statistics like [...]
Manchester United exacted revenge on bottom of the table Leicester City with a comfortable 3-1 victory at Old Trafford.

Robin Van Persie opened the scoring before Radamel Falcao bundled in a second [...]
