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 […]
Manchester United have now won each of their last six meetings with Brighton in all competitions. But in a lackluster opening 45 minutes, where United failed to register a single shot on target, the Reds went behind, Danny Welbeck scoring his 50th goal at the same end were thirteen years earlier he had scored his […]
In my last article for the game against West Ham, I had underlined how Mason Greenwood was getting into the groove with his performances and while he was unlucky to hit the woodwork twice in that match, Mason was showing good touches and I asked whether he could be our winning card in the last […]
United are now back in second place, though still 14 points behind City, albeit with a game in hand. It was a game in which the Hammers did not have a single shot on target. Fabianski made at least a couple of superb saves to deny the Reds. Greenwood hit the upright. But in reality […]
It was a hard fought and crucial win for United at Old Trafford, against a West Ham side which defended deep and en-masse during the first fifty minutes of the match until they conceded the only goal of the game: a header by Dawson who put in his own goal from a Fernandes corner. It […]
So Manchester City have been beaten for the first time since November 2020 (0-2 v Spurs), ending a run of 28 games without defeat across all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s side. United have now won three consecutive away games in all competitions against Manchester City for the first time since a run of four between […]
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 […]
This was the second trip to the Capital in just over 72 hours for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, and we saw United once again drawing nil-nil for the third game in a row. This means that United have not scored a goal in their last three games. United were at one time serious title contenders, […]
I am lost for words at the end of a very poor performance by United against Crystal Palace away from home in this mid-week fixture. On a misty night in London – a manager of another club would have certainly made the conditions as an excuse – it was almost incredible the lack of cohesion […]
United were seeking to win four consecutive matches at the Bridge in all competitions, United having won the last three away games against Chelsea, with those victories coming in the Emirates FA Cup in February 2019, the Carabao Cup in October 2019 and the Premier League in February 2020. No mean task as since the […]
