I have heard people talking about the Manchester United DNA, identity, and culture for years. It comes up in every piece of punditry on TV these days, fans are always throwing the phrase around, and club executives even mention it sometimes when explaining transfer decisions and the like. However, it is rarely explained in any … Read more
I’ve been hearing a lot of talk about JJ Gabriel recently. If you don’t know who he is, he’s a 15 year old academy prospect doing a madness at Under-18 level. He is top scorer in the league with 16 goals, beating lads who are three years his senior. It wasn’t so long ago that … Read more
There aren’t many people operating in the Manchester United sphere that divide opinion quite like Mark Goldbridge. Some people see him as the voice of the fans: He’s outspoken, he’s passionate, and he’s not afraid to call out failure at Old Trafford, and he does so frequently. Other people see him as a bit of … Read more
Bruno Fernandes is flirting with legendary status at Manchester United. For some he has already earned that title, for others he’s not quite there, but no one can deny that he is close. In my opinion, if he had a Premier League title under his belt it would be signed and sealed and we would … Read more
If you’ve had any sort of interaction with United, you will have heard of the Manchester United Foundation. It pops up on match days, in club comms, and little donation prompts online sometimes.

How mental have the last two weeks been? We’ve gone from limping out of the FA Cup without really even trying, to battering second placed Manchester City at home and pulling first placed Arsenal’s pants down in their own back yard. The results are obviously incredible for our chances of European football and for the … Read more
Fans of a certain age will remember a time before Fred the Red, but even they will feel like our anthropomorphic mascot has been around forever. He’s part of the scenery at Old Trafford these days. We all love Fred. When I see him on the touchline waving and dancing and misbehaving it always makes … Read more
He might only be ‘interim’ manager though Manchester United probably could do a lot worse than hiring Michael Carrick in a permanent capacity. The club’s 2-0 victory over rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford could and probably should have been by a much bigger margin. Even Pep Guardiola admitted that the best team won. Certainly, … Read more
That was one of the worst games of football I think I have ever seen. I’m generally quite optimistic about Manchester United’s future, arguably naively optimistic, but what I saw last night was a reality check. I thought we were getting somewhere, climbing our way out of this massive hole we have dug for ourselves … Read more
