There’s a feeling of inertia about Manchester United’s transfer window at the moment, isn’t there? We’ve made a couple of sensible additions, a few fringe players have been moved on or brought in, but there is still a section of the fanbase desperately waiting for a “marquee” signing. The big money star name that everyone … Read more
Despite last playing for the club in December 2024, the Marcus Rashford story is still not over at Manchester United. The ending is still to be written, and there is a version that would make a lot of people happy. The local lad returns to his boyhood club, the new manager throws open the doors … Read more
Manchester United are letting Amazon cameras into the club for an All Or Nothing documentary, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s one of those ‘follow the season from behind the scenes’ type shows – they made one with Spurs, Arsenal, and Manchester City too. None of those clubs came off brilliantly. … Read more
I will admit something before I write this article: in 2023, I was in support of Harry Maguire leaving Manchester United. For his own benefit as much as for the club. The poor guy was cursed. Mistakes and bad fortune seemed to follow him around the pitch, and he was being hounded by the media … Read more

Let’s talk about Casemiro. He’s been incredible for us this season, but his contract is up at the end of it, and that feels like a natural way to finish his short stint at old Trafford. His influence in Manchester has been undeniable, but he was never intended as a long term solution. Casemiro was … 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
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
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
