Are We Seeing The Last Of Paul Scholes?

In less than two weeks’ time, we’ll bid adieu to the finest Manchester United keeper since Peter Schmeichel, as Edwin van der Sar will stroll off into the sunset after the (hopefully victorious) Champions League final against Barcelona.

Do Preseason Predictions Create A Different Perspective On Manchester United’s Current Position?

It seems like forever ago now, but only a little over two months ago, Manchester United held a 15-point lead over Chelsea in the Premier League table. Mathematically, Arsenal were United’s closest competition at the time, but even though they were fresh off of the most horrendous run of form in the Roman Abramovich...

Do Manchester United Have A Realistic Chance To Sign Manuel Neuer?

Up until Tuesday, I hadn’t had an in-depth look at the keeper who, for quite a while, has been a heavy topic of conversation among Manchester United fans, including several who share their opinions on a regular basis on Red Rants.

Will United Deserve The Premier League Title If They Can Hold Off Arsenal and Chelsea?

With a six-point advantage at the top of the Premier League table with only five matches remaining, it would appear that it’s only a matter of time before Manchester United are crowned champions. However, with games left against both title rivals, Arsenal and Chelsea, and the Champions League still sharing part of our focus,...

Park Delivers Knockout Blow To Send United Into Schalke Semifinal

While Ji-Sung Park may never be considered a Manchester United legend, save for perhaps in his corner of the world, there’s no doubt that the man has done a lot more than help sell a lot of shirts in Asia over the last six years. Injuries have blighted his potential impact, and that includes...

The FA And The F-Bomb: Is Rooney’s Ban Fair?

As much of a glorious moment as his first hat trick of the season should have been, Wayne Rooney’s been dominating the headlines not for his achievement at West Ham, but for what occurred, or to be more precise, what was said in the aftermath. By now, anyone who’s reading this (well, I’d assume so) knows...

Is It Panic Time For United After Defeats At Chelsea And Liverpool?

By now, I think most who frequent Red Rants know that I’m generally a positive person, even when the situation should dictate otherwise. However, the only positive thing about Sunday’s…whatever that was…at that place…against that team was when Phil Dowd mercifully blew his whistle for full time to end it. All that happening doesn’t bear...

Welbeck’s Fine Form A Catch-22 For Sunderland, But A Win-Win For Manchester United

Weather permitting, Manchester United will welcome Sunderland to Old Trafford for a Boxing Day clash on Sunday afternoon. And though Sir Alex Ferguson has convincingly had the upper hand on Steve Bruce during the former United defender’s managerial career, Sunday’s showdown shapes up to be a severe test for the league leaders. Sunderland stand a...

Manchester United’s Mentality A Mark of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Memorable Managerial Run

I don’t really care to spend too much time on what our rivals do or say, but it’s nice to get a little laugh from one of them every now and then. On that note, I’m not sure what Samir Nasri is smoking or drinking, but whatever it is, it’s clearly rendered him a...

Has Anderson Done A Nani?

After another fantastic display against Arsenal on Monday evening it seems Anderson could finally start producing the displays we expect of a player who was signed to eventually take Paul Scholes’ place in the team. The Brazilian has been rewarded with a new 4 and a half year deal signed on Wednesday and puts to rest...
