It is getting more difficult to watch United because it is difficult to be able to come up with something novel that we do badly when we are consistently so bad in what we do every week. It is what you usually see – a barrage of shots on our goal, poor play in and out of possession but this time we were able to come out with a draw. This rendition was Solanke and Kluviert profiting off our paucity in football with Bruno Fernandes returning to his older form of managing to get a goal out of nothing – a strike after a deflection in the box and a penalty, that was actually harsh on Bournemouth ..read more

Manchester United travel to Bournemouth this afternoon with supporters hoping to see a good performance and a good result. Following the frustrating 2-2 draw against Liverpool last weekend, which saw United battered for the first half before making a strong comeback in the second half before a dubious penalty for the scousers, Erik ten Hag will want to keep the vague hopes of a top four finish alive this afternoon. With Raphael Varane ruled out until close to the end of the season and Jonny Evans also unavailable this afternoon, it’s slim pickings for United at the back. Although Harry Maguir ..read more

It was not quite the FA Cup frenzy we endured/enjoyed recently, even if Antony going through at the end did evoke memories of Amad going through against this same team 3 weeks ago. The first half was complete domination by Liverpool. Diaz struck one of Liverpool’s first half shots into the net. Meanwhile, Man Utd had none. The first time that happened since October 2015. I believe the first shot we had was Bruno’s brilliant effort over the head of the Liverpool goalkeeper. Then, Mainoo wanted to join in on the game with a wonderful curler into the far post that sent the Stretford End and all ..read more

Manchester United’s U-18 side thrashed Liverpool 9-1 on Saturday afternoon, with James Scanlon putting his side ahead with less than a minute on the clock. Ethan Wheatley scored moments later before mimicking Wayne Rooney’s boxing knockout celebration from 2015.

Man Utd have lost 5 points in the last two games within 3 minutes of added time. Chelsea went two goals clear as Gallagher and Palmer, from the spot, put them clear. Caicedo’s suicide pass to Garnacho allowed us to get a goal back and then a well worked move saw Bruno head in the equaliser. It was a breathless first half and the second half became even more frantic. Antony produced the pass of the season to Garnacho who would put us ahead. Then Dalot gave away a costly penalty, which Palmer dispatched again. Then another set piece, which United were criminally lax from, saw Palmer grab his ha ..read more

Manchester United take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this afternoon with Erik ten Hag having another injury crisis at the back to deal with, after Lisandro Martinez and Victor Lindelof ruled out for a month. The reverse fixture saw United win 2-1 thanks to two goals from Scott McTominay, with Bruno Fernandes also missing from the penalty spot. While Chelsea find themselves in the bottom half of the table, they haven’t lost in the league since the first week of February, while United’s form has been poor, even if there have been some decent results along the way, like the FA Cup quarter-final ..read more

It’s another week with more injuries. We heard about Martinez and Lindelof. Are there any other issues running in to the Chelsea game? How are Varane and Jonny Evans for example? No more issues. In the frontline and in midfield, we are OK. We have options there. But in the backline, we have a lack of options but the good thing is, this afternoon, back in training are Rapha Varane and Jonny Evans, and Harry Maguire was already back in training yesterday already. With these issues, we have spoken to you all season about what perhaps is the cause. Are you any closer to knowing why you get so man ..read more

I shouldn’t have be subjected to 2 hours of football and come out of being utterly ashamed that this is my football team. Yet this is all that can be continually said about this season. It was a truly shameful performance. Quite frankly getting anything out of this game is embarrassing. This was somehow more comprehensive than the 4-0 last season. It was probably about the same as the game we won 3-1 in 2021/22. Brentford hit the post 3 times and were in immense control of the game. Up until the 95th minute, where Casemiro laid off to Mount who slotted into the side netting for his first goal ..read more

Manchester United went in to the international break on an incredible high, beating rivals Liverpool 4-3 in the FA quarter-final in extra-time, and will be hoping to build on that moment this evening away to Brentford. In contrast, Brentford have lost five of their last six games and will be looking to turn their season around after falling within four points of the relegation zone. Erik ten Hag hinted that some of the injured players may be returning to the squad, including the hugely influential Lisandro Martinez who made just four appearances after returning from injury before being ruled ..read more

How’s the international break for you? There was a huge high of Liverpool before it, but how important is it that this isn’t a false dawn and you kick on? It was a wonderful break. It is always good when you go with a win into an international break, but definitely such a win. Then the players go to international duties and are in other teams and playing styles and systems and now they return and we have to get them back where we were. In our way of play, get them back in our team. Yesterday we started this process. It is a short slot and we have to be ready but we will be ready. You’ve had a ..read more
