David De Gea (8) Produced two vital saves from Romeu and Long to prevents the Saints from taking a shock lead at Old Trafford. Authoritative display. Ashley Young (7) A threat going forward but the unwelcome headline created was his elbow on Tadic. Victor Lindelof (5) Even though Long had not scored a goal since … Read more
United travel to Merseyside today, no doubt desperately hoping that the change of calendar year brings with it some fresh impetus and energy, because the final month of 2017 has been thoroughly miserable, culminating in a, frankly, pathetic display in the 0-0 home draw with Southampton. In a stagnant game, devoid of any excitement or … Read more
United entertain Southampton on Saturday, the final game of 2017, and one which the hosts really need to emerge victorious from if they wish to retain 2nd place in the Premier League table going into 2018. The Red Devils have carelessly dropped four points from our previous two league fixtures, at Leicester City and at … Read more
The boys talk about United’s season so far, and where they think the club will be, come May. How do you think the season’s gone so far domestically?

Manchester United could only manage to draw with Burnley at Old Trafford, coming back from a 2-0 deficit. Yet again, shoddy defending of set-pieces cost United, as Ashley Barnes scored an early goal after the Red Devils failed to clear the box from a free-kick. Burnley doubled their lead with a fantastic free-kick from Steven … Read more
How do you define a Manchester United player? It’s a question that those Red Devils supporters, old to young, will have differing opinions over. Does it come down to the ability to take players on? Or the know how to control the tempo of the match? Or the courage to lead from the front, motivating … Read more
David De Gea (6) Defenders didn’t really give him much help, but United’s fragility at defending set-pieces is clear to see and the Spaniard could and probably should be the voice in the box to solve that issue. Ashley Young (7) Got to play at right-back with Valencia out injured. A silly rash challenge led … Read more
The boys talk about United’s season so far, and where they think the club will be, come May. How do you think the season’s gone so far domestically? After our bright start to the season, I was hoping that we’d be a lot closer to City in the table, but with the gap at 11 … Read more
The boys talk about United’s season so far, and where they think the club will be, come May. How do you think the season’s gone so far domestically? If it weren’t for that blue freight train from across town, I’d be quite satisfied with our season so far. But, football is nothing if not relative, … Read more
