David De Gea (6) Unusually quiet game for the Spaniard although he could do nothing about the goal, with Barry poking in from close range. Scintillating goal kick nearly allowed Rashford to find the net. Antonio Valencia (6) Injured in the second half. One of those players you know you miss the most when he’s … Read more
Manchester United’s laboured 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Wednesday night may not have been the perfect response to last Sunday’s derby defeat, however, there were a number of positives to be taken from the slender defeat of the Cherries. Romelu Lukaku’s headed winner in the first half will provide the Belgium international with a timely … Read more
Having somewhat recovered from the abysmal showing against Manchester City in the Derby last Sunday with a narrow, fairly mundane 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday evening, United travel to the West Midlands on Sunday afternoon to take on West Bromwich Albion, now under the guidance of former Newcastle United and Crystal Palace boss Alan … Read more
David de Gea (7): Did well early on to stop a couple of rasping drives from Charlie Daniels and Dan Gosling, during a period when Bournemouth were on top. Was not as busy in the second half as he claimed yet another clean sheet. Antonio Valencia (6): Standard performance from the United captain. Defensively solid … Read more
On a damp, chilly evening in South-West Manchester, it was United’s Spanish super-stopper David de Gea who once again proved to be the main difference between the sides as he kept his 10th clean sheet in 17 Premier League games this season, denying Bournemouth an equaliser that their late pressure arguably deserved as Jose Mourinho’s … Read more

“After the Lord Mayor’s Show”…. Eddie Howe brings his Bournemouth team to Old Trafford this evening for a game which now feels like the first of many we need to win to simply have the ‘honour’ of finishing runners-up behind our “noisy neighbours” following Sunday’s very poor defeat. I imagine it can’t have been easy … Read more
Three For MUFC: Three things that Manchester United should or shouldn’t do over the coming week. It’s taken a while for the dust to settle in the McNicoll household. The derby defeat to Manchester City was certainly a bitter pill to swallow. Two goals from set pieces (more on that later), were the undoing of United, on … Read more
The guys give their initial thoughts on the Champions League draw, which paired United with Sevilla: Alex Demarco: Not the worst draw we could have asked for, especially when considering the fact that we avoided the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
