This has obviously been a major story since the final whistle blew so I'll throw my two cents in. Paul Pogba won a penalty against Wolves on Monday with the score tied at one. Pogba stepped up and took the penalty and missed. This was a big deal because last week Marcus Rashford scored a …
Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton was among the most frustrating you will ever see and just like that all the goodwill Ole Gunnar Solskjaer built up last week is seemingly gone. "At the end of the day, this one is entirely on Ole" was a quote I heard from someone at the bar. While …

Manchester United thrashed Chelsea 4-0 this weekend. That's great for me who's been shouting at all the negative fans that this teams is good and you're all worrying too much. Having said that, it's important to remember it's only one game and this was just Chelsea. Next week's trip to Wolves will be a much bigger …

Eriksen is keen for a new challenge and United are interested in trying to strike a deal before the transfer window closes at 5pm on Thursday." United's interest in Eriksen is nothing new. He's been linked with the club for the …

Manchester United have signed Harry Maguire and that is a good thing! Forget the money they paid for him, forget that he's now the "most expensive defender," and definitely forget to have the debate about whether he's worth the money or not. None of that matters. It's not my money, it's not your money. The …

Man Utd: “David’s obviously in contention, [but] Ash, when he's on the pitch, will carry the armband. When Ash starts, he'll be carrying the armband,” said Ole in his post-match press conference. When asked if this meant that the right-back had replaced Valencia - who moved to L.D.U. Quito in the summer - as club captain, …

31 Premier League appearances, two Premier League goals and there's Scott McTominay alongside Lionel Messi on the international cover of Pro Evolution Soccer. Either the world is just trolling Jose Mourinho (and the United fans who think the team should be built around him), or Jose Mourinho is still finding ways to troll the world. …
