It’s quite an incredible position to be in. English and European Champions, yet already being written off for the following season. What has happened? The fact we’ve ‘needed’ a new striker for the past two years, whilst we’ve been collecting the trophies, has been forgotten. Now, if we don’t sign a striker we’re screwed, apparently. [...]
Manchester City lost to FC Midtjylland last night. It really does make you wonder how we lost to this outfit at home and away last season. This side, who I imagine you’ve never heard of, were runners up in the Danish league last season. “Maybe they didn’t know the names of any single player in [...]
Dimitar Berbatov does not cut a happy figure at the moment, entirely frustrated that his desired to move to United has become so difficult. Far too often the word ‘saga’ is involved with United in the transfer market, from John Obi Mikel to Carlos Tevez, Owen Hargreaves to Cristiano Ronaldo. It would be nice if [...]
With reports all week suggesting that Dimitar Berbatov’s move would be completed any day now, the Premier League’s investigation is still ongoing. After an article appeared in The Sun carrying quotes supposedly from Sir Alex Ferguson talking about Berbatov, Daniel Levy erupted. “Today’s public comments by Manchester United’s manager, announcing that he has made an [...]
The fact that United have played the best part of two seasons without an out-and-out striker, after the sale of Ruud van Nistelrooy and the injuries to Louis Saha, seems to have passed most people by. I have to wonder if the journalists writing about United’s title chances have been paying much attention over the [...]
Spain were worthy winners of this year’s European Championship, boasting an array of talented youngsters as well as sturdy experience. They finished top of their group, winning all three games, scoring an impressive 8 goals. In the quarter finals they took on World Champions, Italy, with the game finishing 0-0. Italy played for the draw, [...]
Manchester United have been linked to Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan in the press, a long with several other clubs. Like Aaron Ramsey, who recently signed for Arsenal, Annan grew up supporting United. Arsenal have recently requested that the player joins them for training. The midfielder has been in England undergoing a trial with Blackburn Rovers, [...]
The topic of loyalty in football is more debated than ever before, with players moving clubs at the drop of a hat, kissing the badge one week and demanding more money the next, and publicly slating their manager in a bid to get a move to their desired club. Of all the players who are [...]
Park Ji-Sung is one of the few United players who manages to escape much praise from the media and our fans. Whilst he’s never going to set the World alight, I think he certainly has a job to do for us, particularly next season. Cristiano Ronaldo will miss the opening couple of months of the [...]
Whilst John Terry will certainly still be feeling the weight of responsibility for his team’s failure, I don’t think that quite excuses the lunacy of his recent statements. Last week, Terry was claiming that United have peaked. Now, this can be forgiven I suppose. He’s ranting and trying to lift the confidence of his team [...]
Rumours linking Thierry Henry to Manchester United have been circulating for some time now, which have been perpetuated with Sir Alex Ferguson’s recent admission that he couldn’t rule a bid for the striker out, saying, “I can’t answer it because I’ve not got a direct answer.” I have already made my feelings on the matter [...]
Last season we scored a total of 11 goals against Newcastle, beating them 6-0 at home and 5-1 away. In these games, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 5 goals, Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney bagged 2 each, with Rio Ferdinand and Louis Saha also getting on to the scoresheet. United will certainly be without Ronaldo for the [...]
Manchester United faced criticism of being a ‘one man team’ throughout the season, which although it might be taken seriously by some, anyone who watched United play on a regular basis could see what a load of bollocks it was. Ronaldo had a case of the Midas touch last season, pulling off incredible tricks and [...]
The ‘Holy Trinity’ statue now stands proudly opposite Old Trafford, looking up to the one of Sir Matt Busby. It raises the question of whether in 50 years it’ll be a statue of Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes added to the grounds somewhere. Three totally committed players who between them have an incredible [...]
Anthony Annan is a 22-year-old midfielder from Ghana who, according to reports today, has caught the attention of United and Arsenal. Annan, who currently plays for Norwegian side IK Start, has spent the week training at Blackburn Rovers. Paul Ince failed to wrap up a deal before the end of the trial, sending the player [...]
