By Shamoon Hafez. This is my blogging debut, I’m more used to doing match reports or features, so go easy on me with comments. As you may, or may not know, I’m a journalist for BBC Sport but also a hardcore United fan, attending home games regularly and the occasional away game as well. Yesterday’s [...]

By Nathan Thomas. Well, not quite the blistering football we’ve been used to so far this season but considering the quality in Chelsea’s team I’d call that a brilliant result. In the end it was United’s superior finishing that won the day and we even managed to miss a couple of sitters, we can’t complain [...]

By Mark Young (Stretford End Arising forum member mark_young) Introduction The second part of this weekend’s Super Sunday is at Old Trafford where Sir Alex Ferguson’s young guns take on a Chelsea side managed by the youngest boss in the league.

The football has been majestic and has been as perfect as the league table portrays. Even an international break couldn’t disrupt the momentum. Bolton are no pushovers but right now United are [...]

By Tom Bell. Introduction We were all aware of Arsenal’s shaky start to the season, but how many of us expected us to put eight past them when they visited Old Trafford? The Bookies certainly didn’t.

It would be an understatement to say that the last few months have been amazing for the Basingstoke born Tom Cleverley but the young midfielder has taken everything in his stride and the hard work is paying off. It all started at 12 years old for Cleverley after United signed him from [...]

By George Hartrey. So, we have all realised Ashley Young was a fantastic signing for our squad. He’s already scored two goals for Manchester United (three if you count the one vs. West Bromwich Albion, but that has been classified as a Steven Reid own goal), and has provided plenty of assists. He is a [...]
