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
I want Ruben Amorim to work at Manchester United. I want the project, the identity, the whole “stick with it and it’ll click” thing. I don’t need him to be Sir Alex reborn, and I’m not expecting miracles in December when half the squad is injured, missing, or being held together with physio tape. But … Read more
Once again, another International break has halted the season in England. The Premier League will have to wait once again as countries play out their games in qualification campaigns. However, for the Head Coach of Manchester United, it is time to reflect, contemplate and ultimately congratulate himself. It had been a torrid few weeks for … Read more
Modern football is often described as a fickle sport. That’s especially true when it comes to managerial tenures. Time is rarely a luxury afforded to coaches, as clubs fire and replace managers at an astonishing rate. For fans keeping an eye on results — and even those looking for free football bets to capitalise on … Read more
There’s a phrase United fans love, because it perfectly sums the club up: Hated, Adored, Never Ignored. In other words, even if Manchester United are the most hated club in English football, people will always talk about them. This is a club that is impossible to ignore. For decades, Manchester United dominated English football on … Read more
Let me start by saying that I know the last few weeks have been grim. Losing via a penalty shootout to lowly Grimsby in the Carabao Cup, a 3-0 trouncing in the Manchester Derby, and the league table isn’t a pretty sight either. I get it, the optics are dreadful, and Ruben Amorim’s body language … Read more
There is no doubt about the fact that manager Ruben Amorim got his wish in the summer transfer window, with the club splashing out around £230 million on new signings – including (when all fit), what could be a very exciting, new-look attack. At the moment though, Amorim’s body language doesn’t appear to look like … Read more
What a summer it has been for Man United. From the early signing of Cunha, to the long drawn out Mbeumo saga, the inability to permanently move on any of the bomb squad, and then the signing of Benjamin Sesko that came out of nowhere. There’s even talk of adding Baleba and Donnarumma at the … Read more
As goalkeepers go, us United fans have been pretty spoilt over the years, haven’t we? Especially in the last few decades. From Peter Schmeichel onwards, we have usually had a pretty dependable pair of hands between the posts. What’s more, that person has tended to be at the club for a long time. Sure, there … Read more
Remember Alexis Sanchez? He was considered by many to be Manchester United’s worst signing ever until Antony showed up, and he’s had plenty of competition. Di Maria, Sancho, Fred, Pogba – United are very good at wasting money. For my money though, the Sanchez deal is by far the worst of the lot, including Antony. … Read more
