Manchester United Blog & Man United News | Stretford End Arising

Deflated, devastated, angry are just some of the feelings I felt after last night’s defeat to Bayern Munich.  I have no complaints whatsoever to the defeat, Bayern were simply the better team on the night and ran out deserved winners. If truth be known, we are lucky to bring Bayern to Old Trafford with the [...]

In the month of March, Manchester United scored a total of 15 goals in 6 games. The breakdown is as follows: Rooney – 6 goals Berbatov – 3 goals Park – 2 goals Fletcher – 1 goal Scholes – 1 goal Gibson – 1 goal Own Goal – 1 Paul Scholes v Wolves Perhaps this [...]

With the uncertainty of Gary Neville’s future (yet to sign a contract extension) I decided to run a poll on which current Manchester United player us fans wanted as their next club captain. I felt the obvious candidates were Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, and Wayne Rooney. Other was another option which saw notable [...]

Seeing Manchester United draw Bayern Munich for the quarter finals of the Champions League brought wonderful flashbacks and memories of that great night in the Nou Camp in 1999. “….And Solskjaer has won it” Can you believe it’s been almost 11 years? No, me neither. Over the last day or so I’ve been in a [...]

Let me say from the start I’m a big Berbatov fan, I feel he comes in for unwarranted criticism from the media and strangely our own (Tevez) fans. Berbatov is much more than a goalscorer, he controls games, he is the link man between midfield & attack and along with Paul Scholes is our most [...]

This is an update from a previous article. I’ve heard a lot of nonsense uttered on the television and radio this season. The suggestion is Manchester United are only a one man team – if Rooney has a poor game or is unavailable for whatever reason United will lose. What complete rubbish! It’s fair to [...]

As were in the final stretch of the season, it’s time we looked at the final remaining fixtures to see which team I feel will be crowned champions of England for the 2009/10 season. Manchester United’s Remaining Fixtures Chelsea (home) Blackburn (away) Manchester City (away) Tottenham (home) Sunderland (away) Stoke (home) As we’ve seen with [...]

Without a fixture for Manchester United due to their defeat against Leeds United in the previous round of the FA Cup, I decided to look at the title race run-in for United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Rather than look at the final remaining fixtures I analysed the next 6 games for each team. Here is the [...]

Manchester United (in the end) comfortably romped to a 4-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers. There was a talking point even before the match started. Where was Rio Ferdinand? According to Mike Phelan, Rio had a few ‘knocks’ from training, it was decided playing Rio wasn’t worth the risk with big games ahead. I’m hoping by [...]

Manchester United are involved in three stories in the Sunday newspapers. Apparently Sir Alex Ferguson is interested in the signature of Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribéry, Jose Mourinho is to snub Manchester City in favour of the hot seat at Old Trafford and Darren Fletcher is to be offered a new contract. With United set to [...]
