I’m writing this on Christmas Day (evening), days after United somehow conspired to throw two points away at Leicester City in a game we created enough chances to win three times over. It was sickening to watch the hosts celebrate snatching an undeserved last-minute 2-2 draw at home as if they were Manchester City fans, … Read more
David De Gea (6) Helpless for the two goals. Another steady performance but overshadowed by United’s dreadful attempt to kill the game off in the second-half. Victor Lindelof (6) Made a goal-saving block in his new position at right back. Growing into matches week after week. Reckon he and Bailly will be United’s future centre-back … Read more
Manchester United needlessly dropped two points away to Leicester City, allowing them to equalize with the last kick of the game, while having come from behind to lead. Jamie Vardy had finished off a classic Leicester City counter-attack to put the Foxes in front, but a Juan Mata double led to United taking the lead. … Read more
United will look to bounce back from a shockingly poor defeat to Championship side Bristol City in the League Cup when they travel to the East Midlands to take on Claude Puel’s Leicester City side on Saturday evening (please note if you are going to this game, the kick-off has been moved back until 7.45pm … Read more
Sergio Romero (6) Could do nothing about the two Bristol City goals. The home side tried to pepper United’s number two in goal by long balls and only once nearly succeeded. Matteo Darmian (4) Horrid performance. Caught out on countless occasions. Last started against FC Basel and produced a similarly weak display. Could be on … Read more

The game looked to be heading towards extra-time, but Korey Smith had … Read more
United make a trip to the south-west this evening to face Bristol City in the Quarter-Final stage of the League Cup competition, in what should be an engrossing encounter. The Robins are currently flying high in the Championship, now 3rd after a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend (their eighth victory in their last … Read more
Three For MUFC: Three things that Manchester United should or shouldn’t do over the coming week. After a win, albeit a non-convincing one, against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, United head into a busy Christmas period with both league and cup competitions to get stuck into. An away trip down to the south-west awaits Jose Mourinho’s … Read more
Manchester United won 2-1 away at West Brom, with first-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard proving enough to claim all three points, even though Gareth Barry’s late goal did raise heartbeats for those of a United persuasion. Here are some of the major talking points from the game – United dig in and … Read more
Consistency is key in the Premier League. Just ask Manchester City. Scraping results against Bournemouth and West Ham United were perhaps even more significant than those thrashings against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur. So there is no doubt that United needed to keep up the pace. Going to West Brom Albion the Red Devils found themselves … Read more
