Mourinho Desperate For United Job… But No Plans For Replacement Yet

1
Jose Mourinho has an impressive resume, with his league titles and Portugal and England, as well as his European Cup win with Porto, yet he is still some way short of deserving a job at Manchester United. His success has always come upon inheriting top squads, with both Chelsea and Porto finishing 2nd in their leagues [. Click to continue reading...

Mourinho May Return… But Never To United

6
Manchester United fans were first introduced to Jose Mourinho in the Champions League during the 2003-2004 season. Following the wrongful ruling out of a Paul Scholes goal, Mourinho's Porto progressed to the next round after a late goal. They were entirely defensive in both legs, diving and cheating their way through. Click to continue reading...

Jaap Stam has reportedly returned to Manchester United, working as a scout for the club. He was spotted in Porto Alegre, Brazil, this week, taking a look at some youngsters United are interested in.

Los Cuerpos Técnicos actuales en los grandes Clubes

1
En el fútbol profesional en México, y en general en latinoamérica, las estructuras de cuerpos técnicos son tan variadas, pero con muchas coincidencias entre todas: el Director Técnico, uno o dos auxiliares y un preparador físico son las posiciones "comunes". Agregamos a uno o dos utileros, un doctor y un masajista. Click to continue reading...

City Tapping Up Ronaldo

1
When you're worth roughly $1 trillion, the price of any top class footballer will be cheap to you. Real Madrid were looking to pay something around £60-70 million for Ronaldo in the summer, but City's new owners are happy to double that figure. David Gill has admitted today that whilst United aren't in the business of [. Click to continue reading...

Fergie Brings Stability… And We Can Progress Without Carlos

0
With Rene Meulensteen taking on the new role as First Team Coach, filling the shoes of Mike Phelan who was promoted to Assistant Manager, he believes Sir Alex Ferguson has made the right decision in trusting in stability and continuity when appointing the two men.

Gill: Were We Worried? Nah

1
Whilst United fans were sweating over Dimitar Berbatov's transfer last night, being forced to wait until 12.40am before confirmation finally came through. However, David Gill claimed last night that the club were never worried, despite a late bid coming in from our local rivals Manchester City. When asked if he was at any point concerned about the [.

Gill: Why Frazier Wasn’t Sold And Saha Was

8
After possibly the most dramatic close of the transfer window ever, Manchester United finally landed their man, Dimitar Berbatov, and loaned out young striker, Frazier Campbell, in return. Hull were prepared to pay £7million for the 20-year-old, following the brilliant season he's had with them, aiding their promotion to the Premiership. Click to continue reading...

Introducing Coton’s Replacement… Pinched From Ince

0
Last week I reported on the likelihood of Eric Steele, the recently employed Blackburn goalkeeping coach. Mark Hughes had his own man for the job, Kevin Hitchcock, when he took at the position at Manchester City, meaning that Steele joined Paul Ince at Blackburn less than a month ago. Obviously United moved too slowly and missed [. Click to continue reading...

No Love Lost Between Fergie and Ince

3
After 10 years of working as our goalkeeping coach, Tony Coton was forced in to retirement because of a persistent knee problem last season. The former City goalkeeper was regarded as one of the best coaches in the business, leaving United with the problem of replacing him. However, Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that a deal [.

Cantona: I Will Manage United When I’m Ready And Will Revolutionise Football

6
Carlos Queiroz's decision to leave Manchester United and take on the Portugal job has certainly thrown a spanner in the works for us. Sir Alex Ferguson had been grooming Queiroz as his own replacement, allowing him far more freedom and responsibility than most assistant managers. With Fergie already confirming that he only had two to three [. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea Trying To Escape Racist Connections But Add Insult To United Injury

4
Whilst still confident United had it in them to go and win the league, the 2-1 to defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was pretty devastating. To equalise in the second half, only to lose due to a soft penalty awarded a couple of minutes from time, left me upset, frustrated, and angrier than I'd [. Click to continue reading...
