A win that was so immensely satisfying not just because United played superbly, particularly in the second half, or that United came from behind to win, but mostly due to the satisfaction of having won following the gross injustice of that disallowed first half goal. The benchmark had been set earlier when Rashford was elbowed in the face in the penalty […]
United have now lost an away match against English opposition for the first time in 30 matches, with the previous such defeat coming against Liverpool in January 2020. The Reds have now waved goodbye to the FA Cup for this season. Speaking to other United fans, it is not clear to many why the Boss […]
United ended City’s dominant run of 21 wins on the trot with a controlled and gutsy display at the Etihad against a City team that huffed and puffed throughout the whole match without creating any clear-cut chances, except in the last 10 minutes when City went more direct. What pleased me most with United’s win […]
United managed to keep a clean sheet against an in-form Chelsea team who are yet to lose since Tuchel took charge of the team in January and had won four of the last five matches in the League. Both teams were tactically well drilled and worked their socks off, which resulted in very few chances […]
It should have been a no-contest. One team at the bottom of the League without a win all season and just a point to their name, versus a team that had won all of their last nine away games. In face John Knowles of SkySports opined before the match that ‘United should have no problem […]
After losing in Leipzig in midweek and hence suffering elimination from the Champions League – still cannot understand how we managed to miss out after two fantastic wins in the first two direct encounters, but let’s not go there – United simply could not afford to lose against their cross-city rivals. And the United players […]
What a disappointing evening on Saturday. Like most United fans, I was so anxious to see our team play again in the Premiership after the 45-day absence, almost expecting that we would continue from where we left against Seville in our last competitive match last month. We had totally outplayed Seville on that day and […]
Certainly not the start we were all anticipating. With the other ’big’ sides starting well, we were all expecting United to keep in step after last season’s positive final games. True, Ole’ featured a changed line –up. I would not criticize him for this. James was rightly offered a chance to be the first choice […]
Manchester United shocked Europe a couple of weeks ago when they announced that they had reached an agreement to sign highly talented Dutch midfielder Donny van de Beek from Ajax. The move means that the midfielder will follow in the footsteps of previous Dutchman such as Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robin van Persie, and fans […]
Looking at the United squad, one can notice that from a squad of 25 players, just 6 players are left-footed. Luke Shaw is a regular first team player, as is Nemanja Matic these days, who however plays centrally in front of the defence. Fred is generally used as the alternate to Matic these days and […]
