By Lee Savery. An individual effort from Sergio Aguero won the Manchester Derby for the visitors as first met second at Old Trafford. City took the lead, on 51 minutes, when Ryan Giggs’ gave the ball away carelessly at the halfway line. Gareth Barry took the ball on before finding Samir Nasri who then teed [...]

By Lee Savery. Manchester United crashed out of the FA Cup as Demba Ba’s goal separated the two teams in a stale affair at Stamford Bridge. Both teams came into this game needing to ring the changes having played their last games on Saturday. United made eight changes from the side that beat Sunderland. Chelsea [...]

By Matthew Jones 1. Defence back on top After a decidedly shaky start to the season in which we shipped plenty of goals and had to come back from numerous losing positions to snatch draws and wins, United’s defence looks back to its imperious best once again. With a fit and healthy corps of centre [...]

By Lee Savery. Manchester United became the first team, in English football, to win 25 top flight matches from the first 30 as they beat Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. On 27 minutes, Robin van Persie received the ball on the left-hand side of the penalty box and outfoxed Phil Bardsley before driving his [...]

By Chris Mortlock 1. An all important three points, but maybe one to forget Should we do the inevitable and go on to lift our 20th title, few will remember Saturday’s game against Reading.

By Lee Savery. Manchester United went fifteen points clear at the top of the Premier League after a win against struggling Reading.

By Matthew Jones 1. Robin reliant running on empty A few weeks ago, I praised him for his comments claiming he did not want to be rested ahead of the Norwich game, having received a knock in the 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers, but Robin van Persie is looking fatigued. I commend him for [...]

By Jason Freeman 1. Anger and Disappointment but also Pride It’d be hard to find a United fan who didn’t display all of these emotions on Tuesday night. We’ll never know how the game would have ended if the poor decision to send Nani off had not happened but it’s without a doubt that we [...]

By Chris Mortlock 1. Sir Alex really wants that twentieth title With a gap of 15 points and a crucial Champions League tie against Real Madrid just three days away, you would have been forgiven for thinking Sir Alex would ring the changes for Saturday’s visit of Norwich. Looking at how his team lined up [...]

By Lee Savery. Shinji Kagawa scored a hat-trick in a dominant United victory at Old Trafford. The Japanese international had put the Red Devils ahead, just before half time, as he latched onto Robin van Persie’s lay off, after a Antonio Valencia cross, before finishing from close range. Norwich spent most of the game defending. [...]
