Following yesterday's toxic encounter at Old Trafford, Luis Suarez has apologised for not shaking
Patrice Evra's hand, while Kenny Dalglish has admitted overreacting with his comments in the post
match interview. Liverpool's Suarez caused a storm by not shaking Evra's hand before kick off and
then petulantly kicking the ball in the stands as the [.
Wayne Rooney scored twice as Manchester United saw off Liverpool in a fiery encounter at Old
Trafford. The Liverpool born striker grabbed a brace early in the second half, to secure United
fourth consecutive home win in the league against their bitter rivals from the East Lancs Road.
Much had been said before the game [.
What. A. Game! If there ever was a marque game for the Premier League it was this one. Great goals,
drama, penalties, a wonderful comeback, and horrible refereeing. A lot of people are of the opinion
that Howard Webb was Uniteds best player of the day, but the "best referee in the world" had an
[...]
Manchester United produced a trademark comeback to force a draw at Stamford Bridge. Two Wayne
Rooney's penalties and a late equaliser by Javier Hernandez saw United snatching a draw from the
jaws of defeat, after having been 3-0 down at one stage, while David DeGea produced two
outstanding saves deep in injury time to deny Chelsea [.
Going into the game at the Emirates some serious pressure was put on United, with City getting a
late 3-2 win over Spurs less than an hour before kick off. 3 points were a necessity. The 8-2
demolition in August was still fresh in the minds for both sets of fans, with Arsenal craving
revenge [...]
Renowned for never doing things the easy way, Manchester United's U18′s had to produce a
performance of quality and strength to overcome a Derby County side boasting England U17
internationals, in-form strikers and a notable physical advantage not to mention the early
initiative with an opening goal on 20 minutes.
Amid all the controversy that, at least for the blue half of Manchester, surrounded Sunday's FA Cup
fixture, one might be forgiven for almost forgetting something that transcended the meanings of
those 90 minutes – Paul Scholes is back. Following his retirement in May, the United legend
announced his comeback to help the club in [.
Manchester United are through to the fourth round of the FA Cup after defeating Manchester City in
a pulsating encounter at Eastlands. Goals from Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck sent United fans into
raptures as Fergie's men reclaimed local rights, while City were left incensed by referee Chris
Foy's decision to send Kompany off.
United's under 18s fell behind three times but each time pegged their opponents back to earn a
point and a few lessons against Bolton's under 18′s at Carrington this morning. In steadily
worsening conditions throughout the 90 minutes, United failed to get into their stride and dominate
possession like they had been doing in the [.
Tomorrow sees the return of the Premier Academy League as United take on Bolton at Carrington in an
11am kickoff. These sides met in early November in what proved to be a enjoyable game between two
teams so far struggling for consistency this season. The match ended in a 2-1 win for United with
goals [.
Blackburn produced arguably the shock of the season so far by defeating Manchester United 3-2 at
Old Trafford in an unexpected set back for the champions. A Dimitar Berbatov brace wasn't enough to
rescue United as goals from Yakubu and Grant Hanley sealed a famous victory for under pressure
manager Steve Kean.
Dimitar Berbatov delivered a late Christmas present to United fans, scoring three in a 5-0
demolition of 10-men Wigan, to send Ferguson's team joint top with Manchester City, albeit behind
on goal difference. Park Ji Sung and Antonio Valencia also got on the scoresheet, as Wigan were
furious with referee Phil Dowd, whose decision to [.
Craven Cottage has been a difficult ground for Manchester United through the years, with only 1
point from 9 during the Reds' last three visits there. If that is not bad enough, United had
conceded 7 goals from those three games, which is painful reading for a team that puts a lot of
emphasis on [...
Manchester United's victory against Wolves saw the club manage to score more than 3 goals in a
single game for the first time since visiting The Reebok in early September. After possibly one of
the hardest weeks in Sir Alex's career, he must be overjoyed to see his players play with the
swagger and determination [.
"Thursday nights, Channel 5!" was a chant designed by Manchester United fans when Liverpool failed
to get a top four spot in 2010, but expect it to be heard more often the next few months. United's
loss to Basel was excruciating, humiliating, and painful. Memories of Benfica and the failings of
the 2005/06 season were [.
Another Premier League game, another 1-0 win. For the 7th consecutive Premier League game, United
scored only one goal against their opposition. But following our horrendous defensive performances
at the start of the season, who would have thought that the single goal would be enough to win 4 of
those games?
Three days since Sir Alex Ferguson's midweek remorse, Phil Jones opened his account for Manchester
United scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory at Villa Park, much to the delight of the boss
himself. Ater the shocking display against Palace on wednesday night and with City putting 5 past
Norwich earlier in the day, [.
"How did Manchester United not win this game?" is the question on everyone's lips after an amazing
1-1 draw at Old Trafford between the Red Devils and the Geordies from Tyneside. United created tons
of chances, with everything from a great goalkeeper and posts, to miraculous goal-line clearances
keeping them at bay.
In a wind and rain affected 90 minutes at Carrington today, Liverpool stole the points in the first
and last minutes to grab a second win in just six weeks over United's improving youngsters. The
minutes in between saw United ride their luck and spurn opportunities in equal measure. Jack Dunn
was Liverpool's match-winner with [.
Right now, I am a dyed in the wool football supporter's worst nightmare. I am new fan. Yes, I like
Manchester United. And you know who has a problem with that? Some of the longtime supporters of
MUFC and the fans ...

Saturday sees Manchester United take on Newcastle United at the world renowned, historically named,
never to be sold for naming rights, Old Trafford the Theatre of Dreams. Just for good measure it
hosts the match at the traditional but somewhat unfamiliar time of 3pm and it could trigger a shift
in the Premier League Betting odds.
Manchester United could be without their out-of-form yet talismanic striker this weekend as Wayne
Rooney is suffering from a hip injury sustained in the 1-0 win at Stoke last weekend. Rooney missed
the team's 2-2 Champions League draw yesterday and ... Continue reading →

Mats Daehli stole the show at Carrington yesterday as Manchester United's Academy boys saw off a
somewhat spirited fight from West Bromich Albion. Mats was the difference scoring both goals in a
2-1 victory that saw United extend their current winning streak to five games and maintain the
momentum that's building up nicely to begin [.
The Academy have won all four of their last four outings (including two friendlies in Slovakia) and
they will no doubt be hoping to continue that run of results when they host West Bromich Albion's
Academy at Carrington tomorrow morning. West Brom are one position below United in the Premier
Academy League and were beaten 4-2 last [.
Since July this year, RedRants has been running a series of articles attempting to decipher who's
been the greatest ever player in Manchester United's illustrious history in each and every
position. Many of RedRants own community got involved and so too did enthusiastic guest writers,
I'm grateful to them all, Thank You.
When we are faced with writing a "best of" list, we always tend to mention things that are fresher
in our memory, which is why having to write about United's best 10 left midfielders ever has proved
a lot trickier than I had initially thought. This is largely due to the fact that, in 24 [...]
Throughout the history of Manchester United Football Club, we have been blessed with great
fullbacks on both sides of the pitch. While we have enjoyed watching numerous players in the right
back berth, the selection of Gary Neville was hardly a surprise. The left-fullback position,
however, is a much more difficult decision.
On the weekend of Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th Anniversary, United's academy travelled to Bolton
Wanderers and returned with a slender 2-1 victory. In Sir Alex's twenty five year career, he's
given a first team debut to an incredible 79 teenagers. It's impossible to accurately predict which
of the current crop of boys will go on [.
Danny Welbeck's deflected header was enough for United to claim u3 points against Sunderland but
the day belonged to Sir Alex Ferguson. Old Trafford welcomed Fergie in style today, with a new
banner unfolded on the Stretford End listing all the trophies won in the 25 years and the crowd
belting out a loud "Every [.
Two weeks ago United took on Crewe and got themselves back to winning ways (4-1) before they
travelled off on their annual team building and strength-testing trip to Slovakia. Goals from
Januzaj, Barmby, van Velzen and Rudge were enough to cement what was a much improved performance by
the Academy and also gave us a chance [.
Manchester United are top of group C in the Champions League, after goals from Antonio Valencia and
Wayne Rooney secured a 2-0 win at Old Trafford. It was a largely uninspiring performance by
Fergie's men and, with the greatest respect for Galati, against a slightly better organized United
could have paid the price for their [.
When I was offered the chance to write about United's best ever centre-backs, as part of a Best XI
feature, I jumped with excitement at the opportunity, without realizing that I was facing two huge
tasks. The first is that compiling a list (no matter the subject) is never easy and always likely
to leave [.
Manchester United are through to the quarter finals of the Carling Cup after a 3-0 win at
Aldershot. Two days after suffering one of the most humiliating defeats in their history, United
made a first step towards recovery by disposing of the League 2 outfit. A lot has been said, and
will no doubt be [.
Never in my wildest nightmares, never ever did I expect this. And yet it happened. Last night I
played a match between Manchester United and Manchester City with FIFA 12 on my XBOX 360 as a
precursor to the real deal which would be happening just 12 hours later UK time. I like to play
[...]
United's unbeaten record at home came to an end in incredible fashion as a second half collapse saw
them conceding 5 goals. For the last couple of seasons this fixture has been surrounded by an
ever-growing hype and this year was no exception. City and United went into the game 1st and 2nd
respectively both [.

Four defeats on the spin, and beaten by two of our closest rivals along the way, might suggest it's
time for the Academy to panic, but hold on, not so fast. There were many positives on Friday and
the 2-1 defeat away to Liverpool in no way tells the whole story of this competitive, exciting
[...]
Well it wasn't a classic that's for sure. These days it has become apparent to me that waking up at
4:30 Pacific Standard Time to watch my beloved Manchester United is the action of stupid man not
interested in his health and sleeping pattern. Frankly, the past few years has taught me to expect
a [..
The less said about today's result the better. I'm not suggesting we should be dismayed or in any
way embarrassed far from it, Wolves looked a competent side with some talented lads. What I mean
is, the 5-2 scoreline masks what was actually a closely contested game played at a high tempo and
in [..
