Man Utd Pip Valencia At The Death, But How Did They Rate?

Manchester United left it late to snatch the maiden victory of their fledgling Champions League campaign last night, eventually emerging from the decrepit Mestalla stadium with all three barely-deserved points after seeing off Spanish pace-setters Valencia by a single goal. Mexican striker Javier Hernandez came off the bench to wrap up the win for United…

Is Wayne Rooney Really Finished?

Is Wayne Rooney Really Finished?

For better or worse, the planets seem to be fatefully aligning at Manchester United of late – at least in terms of their striking options. The dismal trough of slurry in which Wayne Rooney currently finds himself knee-deep would certainly be a much more pressing issue in United circles were it not for the perceived…

Would A Change In System Bring A Change In Results For Manchester United?

Dimitar Berbatov – A giant among men this season

Who knew when the brilliant Bulgarian burst the Celtic net in Manchester United’s first pre-season game that it would kick start his best ever season so far in a Manchester United jersey? With a full pre-season under his belt, he used the Community Shield against Chelsea to showcase to the United faithful (and unfaithful to…

Who Should Play Up Front Against Liverpool?

Who Should Play Up Front Against Liverpool?

A few weeks ago I wrote a piece on Berbatov, expressing the fact that this season he had to produce somewhere near his best form or else he was out the door. To be honest I didn’t think he was anywhere as bad as people would make ya believe, he has produced some moments of…
