Ferdinand Out Until 2010

Man United Devils 19 November @ 06:18 AM EST
Man United defender Rio Ferdinand has been suffering from an unknown injury for most of this season and some of last season, he has now been ruled out of action until 2010. Ferdinand has been told that he must get at least six weeks of rest and treatment before he can return. Click to continue reading...

Evans: We Don’t Play-Act But We Still Have To Beat Ref

Republik Of Mancunia 13 November @ 04:15 PM EST

Jonny Evans has reiterated the comments of other United players and fans in claiming that big decisions have gone against us so far this season.

"We are usually quite good with referees," Evans said. "I think there are a lot of teams that do a lot of play-acting, but I don't think that's the case with Manchester United.

DTotD: Studs in the chest

Dirty Tackle 09 November @ 01:14 AM EST

Jonny Evans delivered a pretty brutal flying kung fu kick to Didier Drogba's chest, causing Drogba to drop to the ground and convulse like he just got tased. The reaction was a bit, uh, exaggerated, but Evans clearly deserved a red for trying to puncture his lung with his boot. Instead, Drogba's reputation (and spastic leg kicks) got him booked rather than Evans.

Bring On The Knockout

The Dribzleroo 03 November @ 08:10 PM EST

Manchester United booked its passage to the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League in dramatic and somewhat embarrassing fashion. If a side like CSKA Moscow can come to Old Trafford and score goals in the manner they did, I don't think the Special One at Inter Milan or Barcelona's Pep Guardiola will be having sleepless nights worrying about United's threat to their title hopes.

Do United or Rio and Vidic Need To Worry?

Republik Of Mancunia 30 October @ 08:31 AM EST

Reports today suggest that both Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are both doubtful for Saturday's match at home to Blackburn Rovers, presumably meaning we will have to rely on Jonny Evans and Wes Brown to play in the centre of our defence.

Both Vidic and Rio have been criticised for their recent form, particularly in light of the Liverpool game, when Rio was out-muscled and out-run by Fernando Torres, and Vidic was sent off for his third game in the row.

Evans: I Closed My Eyes And Saw Glory

Republik Of Mancunia 19 October @ 11:32 AM EST

Jonny Evans had a great opportunity to score for Manchester United at the weekend but Jussi Jaaskelainen did well to keep it out. This isn't the first time Evans has come close though, with him rattling the woodwork following a diving header against Villarreal early last season.

The 21-year-old defender regrets his miss and feels he's doomed to never scoring.

Jonny Evans Gives Fergie Selection Headache

Blog United 29 September @ 11:34 AM EST

Alex Ferguson admits he is finding it increasingly difficult to select his central defensive pairing given the vast improvement of Jonny Evans.

Evans has made six appearances so far this season but is still behind both Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic in the pecking order. When both fit, it is difficult to not select the pair given their formidable partnership but Ferguson knows it won't be long until Evans earns his place in the starting eleven.

Jonny Evans believes he has settled well in to the first team squad and is hoping we have the upper hand against City at the weekend.

"I feel very settled among the first team squad now," said Evans. "I also felt very much part of it last season, but it was kind of a new thing for me.

Evans: I’m Not A Top-Class United Centre Back Yet

Republik Of Mancunia 26 August @ 06:56 AM EST

Manchester United haven't had much luck with our defensive injuries this season, with Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Gary Neville and Rafael all already missing games through injury, whilst Jonny Evans has limped off and conceded he will need surgery sooner or later.

Hopefully Evans should be fine to face Arsenal at the weekend, partnered by Vidic, and this is a challenge our young defender relishes.

"At some point my ankle will need surgery," said Evans. "It is a problem that has been bothering me since Christmas.

Man United’s Move for £5.5m Brazilian is as Dead as a….

Caught Offside 06 August @ 06:16 AM EST

Yes, you guessed it...a Dodo!

Jonny Evans: Ready, willing and able.

Manchester United have pulled the plug on a deal for Corinthians defender Dodo.

The Times says United have decided not to sanction a £5.5 million deal to sign Dodô, the Corinthians defender, in the immediate future but will continue to monitor the 17-year-old Brazilian after he spent two weeks on trial recently.

The La Liga club sounded out a move for Nemanja Vidic earlier this summer but were given short shrift by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Bayern Munich 0-0 Man United 7-6 Pens Highlights (Video)

Caught Offside 31 July @ 04:21 AM EST

Well if you're going to miss a crucial penalty kick it's best to do it in the Audi Cup rather than in any meaningful outing. Why the hell Jonny Evans was taking a penalty kick is beyond me, I would understand if he was called upon because every other player in the team had taken one, but he was eighth on the list and he missed and the Germans won the Audi Cup!

Rio: It Was A No-Brainer For Evans

Republik Of Mancunia 25 July @ 05:56 AM EST

Jonny Evans was in two minds about staying at Manchester United last summer when a £10 million bid came in for him from Sunderland.

He went on to play in 32 games for United, including our league matches against Arsenal and Chelsea, as well as the European Cup semi-final.

Rio Ferdinand has revealed he spoke to Evans last summer but concluded that having the opportunity to win so many trophies at United makes it hard to leave.

Sir Alex Ferguson - Denis Law

ALEX FERGUSON said: "Denis was my hero. I idolised him. When I first met him I was so excited. It was at a game in Paris, he had played in the first half and we went for a cup of tea afterwards. I thought, 'This is it, I've made it!'

"He epitomised everything a Scotsman is about.

Evans: It’s Been A Great Season For Me

Republik Of Mancunia 25 May @ 05:05 AM EST

Manchester United turned down a reported £10 million bid from Sunderland to keep Jonny Evans at the club. They let Gerard Pique go but Ferguson obviously saw something in Evans that was worth clinging on to.

However, Evans was loved in Sunderland and he wanted to go there. In fact, Evans had a bit of a sulk about it.

Could Rio Miss The Champions League Final?

The Offside: Manchester United 20 May @ 08:04 AM EST

The main news coming out of Alex Ferguson's press conference today was quite grave. Simply put, the words from Sir Alex were that if Rio cannot prove his fitness against Hull this Sunday then he won't play against Barcelona on 27 May. Rio hasn't played since the CL Semi-Final Second Leg victory against Arsenal and has been out for the past three weeks with a calf strain.

El United defensivo

Premier Fever 02 May @ 06:57 PM EST
Autor: Miguel Meléndez
Esta temporada, y contrario a su tradición, el Manchester United se ha apoyado en su solidez defensiva para mantenerse en carrera en varios frentes, incluyendo la Premier League.
No es necesario ser un seguidor del "Man U" para reconocer que el ataque y el buen juego son las principales características de los diablos rojos, y las mismas, que los han llevado a conseguir diversos trofeos tanto en el fútbol inglés (liga y copa), como en el plano internacional, siendo los más recientes, los títulos en la pasada edición de la Champions League y el Mundial de Clubes, de hace un par de meses.

The PFA Player Of The Year Shortlists Are A Joke

EPL Talk 16 April @ 04:42 PM EST

If today's PFA Player of the Year shortlist shows us anything, announcing the player of the year with almost 6 weeks of the season left looks a stupid decision. With only Steven Gerrard not from Manchester United on the six player shortlist, it just shows how quickly things in football can change.

PFA awards announced

It's Manchester United who dominate this years shortlist for the PFA player of the year award. Nemanja Vidic, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Cristiano Ronaldo and Edwin van der Sar have all been put forward, along with Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard. Vidic is strong favourite to claim the award, despite a drop in form of late; he's helped by the fact the voting took place a few weeks ago. Click to continue reading...

Following a week of slatings in the press and the England manager Fabio Capello calling him a 'crazy man', Wayne Rooney went on to score two goals in England's 4-0 victory over Slovakia. Rooney was named Man of the Match before even scoring his second, which turned out to be the last kick of the game. Click to continue reading...
