By Adam Hicks. 1. ‘You can’t win anything with kids’ Having proven Alan Hansen’s now infamous statement meaningless it doesn’t seemed to have stopped Sir Alex from having another go. The average age of Manchester United’s starting XI tonight was just 23 and on another note it contained seven British players. United’s policy of placing [...]

By Tom Bell. Manchester United’s opening game of the season saw Sir Alex’s team secure an away win against a resilient West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns. We learnt a few things in that match. Ashley Young appears to be a shrewd piece of business, David de Gea may require time to settle into Premier [...]

Midfield Problems Rears Its Ugly Head Not for the first time this season our central midfield has struggled when the opposition have looked to exert pressure. Why?

Manchester United were thankful for a Ryan Giggs double, a sublime Nani chip and excellent performances from Paul Scholes, Nemanja Vidic and Darren Fletcher. Scholes once again put in another performance that would put players in their prime to shame. Vidic was a beast in defence and Fletcher covered every blade of grass on the [...]

Surely we cannot have another set of results go our way like last weekend? Paul Scholes scoring a late winner against the Noisy Neighbours (I’m still punching the air when I think about goal now) Spurs thrashing a woeful Chelsea and Arsenal embarrassingly losing to Wigan. This weekend sees exciting fixture list. We take on [...]

Most of you are probably aware of the great record Manchester United have against Spurs, we haven’t lost at Old Trafford to Spurs since 1989. Yeah 1989 ha ha! Not that there have been some close encounters or scrapes along the way. However, we [...]
