Having admitted that before the arrival of Jose Mourinho, he had not really been a football coach able to get the best out of his side at the start of the new domestic season, Sir Alex Ferguson surely now knows that in this day and age, even with Mourinho gone, he is still facing an...

There is no time for Sir Alex Ferguson to dwell on the glory of Manchester United’s record-breaking 19th championship. Resting on laurels is not one of the United manager’s traits, but this summer is one of his more important rebuilding windows. He needs to be active in the transfer market as the task of building...

Ryan Giggs knows Manchester United as well as, if not better than, the back of his hand. After playing for United for 20 years now, the winger has this season turned back the clock by displaying a number of impressive performances in midfield, with the Welshman providing evidence for the arguments of those who believe...

There has been some debate raging this season about the quality of the current crop of Manchester United players, but if they win the Champions League final they can well and truly end any doubt about them.

Sir Alex Ferguson has gone from strength to strength after being written off as not being able to keep up with the changing nature of the game only a few seasons ago, but now he has finally won that 19th record-breaking league title and stands a chance of lifting the European Cup for the third...

Manchester United are more than capable of defeating Barcelona when they meet for the Champions League final at Wembley on 28th May – just so long as they play to their strengths. The difference between Manchester United and the majority of the other sides in the Premier League is their absolute refusal to lie down...

After Wednesday’s defeat of Schalke, there was this amazing feeling that everybody within the ground and even those watching on television could all sense together.  It wasn’t elation at making a final four tie so one-sided, there was tension, apprehension, nerves, anxiousness, whatever you would like to call it. But looking back on this season,...

Manchester United fans aren’t usually the type to keep quiet when it comes to expressing their anger at controversial decisions made by their owners, and it has proved no different this week, with supporters’ groups revealing their fury at the club’s decision to increase the price of tickets for next season by £1 per game....
