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 Andy Field. Another successful season for United seems close… It looks like we are going to win our 20th league title (*touches every possible wooden item within reach*) and the league has to be the main priority at the start of each season. It is the barometer of who is the best team in [...]

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 SO Rio Ferdinand has become the latest Manchester United player to put his club before his country – and get lambasted for it. Whether you agree or not with his decision to snub England manager Roy Hodgson’s olive branch back into the England set-up after he left him out of his Euro [...]

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. The reverse fixture in December was one of the most entertaining games of the season; Saturday’s was anything but. City’s pathetic [...]

By Danny Armstrong. Antonio Valencia was born to do what he does. Impeccably clad in long-sleeved shirt tucked neatly in to pristine white shorts, he embodied the ethos of a Manchester United winger: beat the man, get to the line, cross the ball. His deft close ball control and an always reliable end product brought [...]

By Lee Savery. Manchester United went fifteen points clear at the top of the Premier League after a win against struggling Reading. The only goal of the game came after 20 minutes when Rio Ferdinand was allowed to run free from defence with the ball before he found Wayne Rooney, on the edge of the [...]
