United down Scunthorpe
It was Manchester United’s 2nd team defending the Carling Cup title Wednesday night against Championship side Scunthorpe United.
Kuszczak started in goal with W. Brown, Ferdinand, Smalling and Rafael as his back line. Ferdinand still struggling with the virus that kept him out of Sundays clash against Liverpool. Gibson, Park, and Anderson would control the midfield,...
United draw at Fulham
As always, when Manchester United have a dismal performance it takes me a little longer to gather my thoughts and post my opinion.
Let’s look at United’s starting 11; O’Shea is a problem for me, always has been. I have a lot more confidence in Rafael then O’Shea at right back. The other three were fine....
Manchester United welcome Newcastle back
Newly promoted Newcastle United traveled to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United in the season opener.
United started with a 4-4-2, still no Ferdinand as Johnny Evans took on the responsibility of center-back. Sir Alex would also try playing with two strikers as opposed to a lone striker.
In the 8th minute Rooney was looking to...
Manchester United vs Stoke
For only the 5th time since the inception of the premier league the title race came down to the final day. Where it could all be won or loss in one day.
Manchester United had to first get past stoke, and pray that Wigan pulled off a miracle.
United went with their strong back line, there is...
Sunderland vs Manchester United
A must win for United, as Chelsea beat a very weak and fragile Liverpool at Anfield. It really felt like if someone was going to take points from Chelsea this late in the season, it would be Liverpool. I couldn’t have been more wrong, Liverpool looked despicable, a team with no pride waiting for the...
Manchester United vs Tottenham
For those who criticized the Premier League at the end of last season for “being too predictable”, this season has been everything but predictable. What could be more exciting than the current title race, where the league leader changed three times in the last month, and just when we thought it was all Chelsea, they...
Manchester City vs Manchester United
The weekend couldn’t have gone any better for United, their prayers were answered as they got a much needed win over their noisy neighbors.
Be careful what you wish for. City boss, Roberto Mancini, learned this the hard way. Mancini had had voiced his desire over Rooney’s participation in the derby, and he got what...
Blackburn vs Manchester United
It is incredible that a team like Manchester United have become so dependent on one player. United have not been able to pull a favorable result without the 24 year-old English international! Look at Barcelona for example, they played Real Madrid in the Clasico this weekend and managed to dominate los Blancos without Abidal, with...
United win, but lose.
Much to everyone’s surprise, the white Pele, Wayne Rooney was in the starting line-up. Sir Alex said he would not play unless he was 100 per cent. Rooney was accompanied by a very strong United side, including Nani and Valencia on the wings and Carrick, Fletcher and the young Irish midfielder Darron Gibson in the...
Manchester United vs Chelsea
Whenever United come off a loss of this magnitude, it takes me a while to get my thoughts together. This Saturday was a disaster, and it started with the line-up.
Sir Alex shouldn’t have gone to a 4-4-2, but instead have kept the formation (4-5-1) that was working, only replace Rooney with Berbatov. It should have...
Bayern Munich vs Manchester United
United would start as I predicted yesterday (See Rooney and Ferdinand fit for Champions League) and Bayern with one of their star player, Robben. Everything seemed to be going Man U’s way.
United would get a dream start. Rooney would shake off Zorro (Demichelis) from a Nani set piece to put United up 1-0 after only...
Berbatov puts 3 past Liverpool!
