By Jason Freeman. 1) Wing play – Key to success this season (as always) Wing play has been key at Manchester United for many years and nothing has changed in that aspect, against Arsenal we saw 2 wingers looking threatening every time they got the ball and it is no surprise that both goals came [...]

By Tony Mogan Manchester United’s harrowing exit from the Champions League, an ever-increasing injury list and Manchester City’s relentless assault on the defences of teams up and down the country was beginning to give some United fans a slightly unsettling feeling. A week and a half later, those details are now beginning to trickle into [...]

Spoilt Or Cynical?

Stretford End Arising — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 15:46:59 +0000

By Gary Fowler. Last week Roy Keane’s blunt assessment that Manchester United had not been good enough to progress in the Champions League brought back memories of November 2005 when he castigated some of his team mates following the 4-1 defeat to Middlesbrough. Even though at the time I 100% agreed with him I thought it [...]

Stretford End Arising — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:04:29 +0000

By Jason Freeman 1) Ferdinand not “past it” Many have declared the England defender “finished” and “past it” this season, Ferdinand has struggled for form and fitness at times this season and had a nightmare to forget at Old Trafford in the derby along with many other United players but since then his form has [...]

Manchester United 1 Sunderland 0: 5 Things We Learnt

Stretford End Arising — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 02:30:04 +0000

By Nathan Thomas. 1. Midfield craving creative spark This, I’m sure you’ll agree with me is the most evident thing that we learnt from the match on Saturday, although many would argue we have known this for a long time.

Five Things We Learnt From Man United’s Victory Over Chelsea

Stretford End Arising — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 22:10:12 +0000

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 [...]

The Ashley Young Effect

Stretford End Arising — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 17:02:42 +0000

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 [...]
