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
Well, they did it. They sacked Amorim. I wrote a post not that long ago outlining why I didn’t think sacking Amorim was the right decision, at least not yet, and I stand by that.

Manchester United is one of the most prestigious teams in the Premier League, which is also what makes it one of the most heavily analysed teams. This means that whenever this team falls short, it hits harder than usual, and that’s been the case lately with the last Premier League season. Though one bad year … Read more
Manchester United are the biggest club in the world. Fans of other clubs hate it when we say that, but only because it’s true. You may hear arguments against the claim, but my any credible measurable statistic it is undeniable. The one that I think proves it most strongly, is the sheer number of official … Read more
We all love Manchester United, and we all love talking about the club too. There are absolutely loads of ways to engage with the club and with other fans these days, be that Youtube Channels, Twitter or X accounts, or other social media, but when it comes to online debate and discussion, Reddit leads the … Read more
Before Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS bought a 25% share in the club, Sheikh Jassim was the name on everyone’s lips. When the Qatari banker and royal family member emerged as a potential buyer for Manchester United, a lot of fans really believed it was the start of a new chapter. A future that was debt free, … Read more
