Mascherano Wary Of PSV Threat As He Targets Champions League Glory

2008-09-30T16:16:00+00:00

Javier Mascherano aims to emulate his friend Carlos Tevez and win the Champions League.

Mascherano, 24, admits that he was delighted for his fellow Argentina international when he claimed a winner's medal in last season's final for Manchester United.

The midfielder was perhaps oblivious to the fact that he was probably the only person of a Liverpool persuasion who felt that way watching the final in Moscow last May, when the Red Devils beat Chelsea on penalties.

Manchester United striker not expecting a title challenge from Liverpool

2008-09-28T17:52:29+00:00

The Red Devils may have landed just one win from their first four matches, yet one of their star strikers is still sounding pretty confident that his team are going to be challenging for the title again this season. Not only that, but this forward is expecting the title race ...

No Further Penalties For Manchester United

2008-09-22T17:20:06+00:00

Manchester United will face no further action over their behaviour at Stamford Bridge yesterday. Sir Alex Ferguson's team picked up seven yellow cards during the draw with Chelsea - and already knew they would receive an automatic £25,000 fine from the FA. But the Red Devils will avoid a further punishment after referee Mike Riley confirmed in [.

What's To Blame For United's Shaky Start?

2008-09-18T18:04:00+00:00

Following in the footsteps of last season's emphatic success was never going to be easy, nor was it ever guaranteed. However, those of a Manchester United disposition could be forgiven for perhaps expecting a little more in the opening games of the new season. This season's early uncertainty culminated in last weekend's frustrating loss to Liverpool, a result which subsequently puts even greater emphasis on the trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but just why haven't things gone quite to plan for the European Champions on the pitch so far this season?

New shirts for EPL teams

Off the Post had a clever idea for Liverpool.

But did you hear who's actually financing the Manchester United show? The U.S. gov't.

With AIG failing, Uncle Sam stepped in to give the financial backing it needed. So how about a little 'stars and stripes' badge on the Red Devils kit.

Manchester United's shirts to now read, "USA" rather than "AIG"

2008-09-17T12:41:00+00:00

I keed. I keed. But the dominoes falling on wall street have diverted my attention away from the game I love so much lately.

The failings in New York have been so unbelievably epic that it's hard not to pay attention, and I have yet to find how AIG's collapse and subsequent bail out by American taxpayers will impact their sponsorship of the Red Devils.

AIG going broke too?

2008-09-16T13:51:00+00:00

Not long after West Ham found out it's kit sponsor is failing, Manchester United might be in the same boat.

The New York based insurance group is suffering mightily, and the Red Devils might be the next team with a blank kit.

Some are calling it a curse.

Insurer American International Group Inc has made an unprecedented approach to the Federal Reserve seeking £22billion in short-term financing, the New York Times reported overnight.

Fergie facing huge striker dilemma .....

2008-09-14T12:04:00+00:00

In the aftermath of what turned out to be an Anfield horror show on Saturday by the Red Devils, Fergie hinted that he was a little bit perplexed as to why new signing Dimitar Berbatov didn't build on this excellent contribution which led to United taking the lead in the opening minutes of a pulsating clash.

Red Rivalry Returns As Liverpool Meet United

2008-09-10T17:37:00+00:00

Matt Monaghan looks at the history of this most heated of English rivalries, the 'North West Derby' between the Reds of Liverpool and the Red Devils of Manchester United.

For all those who believe that the passion and high emotion that made football great in the past has been callously removed from the modern game by the unscrupulous corporate giants that have bought in to the sport, this Saturday's encounter between Liverpool and Manchester United should act as an example of how bitter local rivalries still circumvent the more sedate environment of today.

Liverpool take on the Champions this coming weekend, it's a fixture that all football fans look forward to, even though it doesn't always live up to its star billing.

United have dominated recent encounters, so much so that Rafa Benitez has yet to notch a league victory over Ferguson since he arrived at Anfield in 2004.

GROUP A: 1. Chelsea, 2. Roma, 3. Bordeaux, 4. Cluj-Napoca
The top two clubs should have no problem advancing here and will rack up four wins a piece of the group doormats -- who I don't know much about. Head-to-head I give the advantage to the Blues. Roma doesn't have the firepower to match the English side.

Manchester: É un derby d'oro

2008-09-03T07:24:00+00:00

160 miliardi di euro: è questo il patrimonio di Sulaiman Al Fahim, nuovo padrone del Manchester City: una cifra da far impallidire Roman Abramovich ma soprattutto il patron dell'United, Malcom Glazer. I nuovi proprietari del City non sembrano proprio disposti ad accettare per il proprio l'etichetta di seconda squadra di Manchester: dopo aver dato uno "schiaffo" al magnate russo di Londra strappandogli Robinho, e dopo aver costretto i Red Devils a dissanguarsi per evitare di vedersi soffiato Berbatov, trovano sempre più conferme le notizie di un interessamento del City per Ronaldo.

Who got the best bargain on 1st September: Manchester United or Manchester City?

2008-09-02T16:52:41+00:00

While the blue half of Manchester failed with an audacious bid of £35 million for Dimitar Berbatov on Monday, they managed to pinch Robinho from under the noses of Chelsea, something which will no doubt irk Peter Kenyon and Roman Abramovich. The Red Devils have landed the Bulgarian striker for ...

2008-09-02T14:52:33+00:00

In the end, the Red Devils got their man, although not without a scare as Manchester City tried to hijack the deal that would eventually see Dimitar Berbatov move to Old Trafford for just under £31 million. Despite City probably offering a whole heap of cash to the player if ...

A DIFFERENT Manchester Team Makes £30M Bid For Spurs Berbatov

2008-09-01T20:32:43+00:00

Manchester City look set to steal a march on city rivals United in the race to sign Dimitar Berbatov after their £30million bid for the striker was reportedly accepted by Spurs.

Dimitar Berbatov is believed be holding talks with Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson about a possible move to Old Trafford.

United sell striker.... Huntelaar on his way?

2008-09-01T14:14:00+00:00

Manchester United have today sold Louis Saha to Everton for an undisclosed deal. The former Fulham striker has struggled in recent months with injury at Old Trafford and Sir Alex Ferguson has now decided to call time on the Frenchman's United career.

2008-08-29T17:07:39+00:00

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he is "less optimistic" about signing sulky Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov before the transfer window closes. The Red Devils have reportedly made a take-it-or-leave-it £25million for the Bulgarian international. But the north Londoners are thought to be holding out for £30million.

2008-08-26T18:52:58+00:00

The Red Devils jet off to Monaco having landed four Premier League points from their opening two matches. A point at home to Newcastle was not what the doctor ordered, although a fine 1-0 win at Portsmouth has left them in decent shape ahead of the ill-timed international break. And ...

Is the Premier League a two-horse race between Manchester United and Chelsea?

2008-08-26T16:52:52+00:00

2008-08-26T15:52:56+00:00

After a disappointing 1-1 draw with Newcastle on the opening game of the season, it was important that Manchester United didn't slip up against Portsmouth on Monday night. Defeat would have left them five points adrift of Chelsea and (for what it's worth) Liverpool, with the Red Devils not playing ..

United need to call Spurs bluff over Berbatov...

2008-08-26T08:32:00+00:00

So then, who is going to blink first over the proposed sale of Berbatov to the Reds, will it be United, or will it be the crafty cockneys? I wouldn't like to wager on the outcome of either scenario and course we cannot rule out that United will, at some point this week, end their reported interest if Spurs keep on trying to screw the Red Devils, in time honoured fashion.
