With the international break nearly over, the excitement of the Premier League will be back with us and Manchester United will be looking to get back to winning ways against Everton at Old Trafford at the weekend.

Following the Chelsea defeat I began thinking about what the best Manchester United eleven actually is?

Man United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak has taken a swipe at fellow United keeper Edwin Van Der Sar. Kuszczak has said that he goes to United's number one Van Der Sar to ask him for advice but he is only rejected.
If this is true, then I can understand why Kuszczak is frustrated, but is it really the best thing to go to the papers? Click to continue reading...

The transfer rumour mill is already kicking up plenty of transfer rumours regarding United and their rivals but just how busy can we expect Sir Alex to be?

Chelsea's Didier Drogba is a man who has a beautiful ability to make headlines, be it good or bad. This weekend, he was the victim of a shocking tackle, no, make that assault from Manchester United's Johnny Evans. He then had the last laugh, darting across Edwin Van Der Sar in an offside position for John Terry's late goal.

Just before the game yesterday between Man United and Chelsea, when the team news came through and there was no Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic or Dimitar Berbatov in the starting line-up, I was worried. We were going to Stamford Bridge without three of our main players but at the end of the game, I was disappointed for a totally different reason. Click to continue reading...

It's the top of the table clash already, Chelsea vs. Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. The new boy, Carlo Ancelotti taking on the wily old fox, Sir Alex Ferguson. So far Chelsea's first "Big Four" encounter has ended in victory, thumping Liverpool 2-0 also at The Bridge whereas Manchester United has met two "Big Four" teams and while they beat Arsenal, the Red Devils hardly got going against a fired-up Liverpool.

Man United and Chelsea have been the top two teams in the Premier League over the past few seasons, tomorrow they go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is the on form team and they will be very dangerous, especially up front tomorrow. Man United on the other hand haven't been in the best of form and are looking shaky, especially at the back.

On this day 23 years ago, a certain Alexander Chapman Ferguson was appointed as the manager at Manchester United. Today Sir Alex is the most decorated manager in British football history.

His tactical genius, inspirational personality and tremendous focus have put him in a league above others.

Tomasz Kuszczak (left) is a reserve goalkeeper for Manchester United.
Recently he made all the headlines for calling the Old Trafford No. 1 'keeper Edwin van der Sar (right) selfish, damn selfish. It's creating a bit of a controversy in England, and I'm pretty sure it's because Kuszczak needed to try to find a way to become relevant. Click to continue reading...

It seems staying too much in Van Der Sar's shadow has taken a toll on Kuszczak and eventually tension has settled down between the two keepers, although Sir Alex has tried to play down the incident after Kuszczak was quoted on an interview with MUTV as: To be honest, I must say this and Edwin [...] Click to continue reading...

Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best player in the world, but his spot in next year's World Cup will be determined when Portugal and Bosnia square off in a two-legged playoff later this month. There is only one problem for Ronaldo: He may not have a say in if Portugal qualifies.

Tomasz Kuszczak has stupidly given an interview with MUTV criticising Edwin Van der Sar for not helping him enough and suggesting that the Dutch goalie doesn't like him.

Oh dear.

"I must say this, Edwin doesn't help me. Maybe he doesn't like me," said Kuszczak. "He's got more experience and many more games under his belt.

Before yesterday's game, all Man United needed to do to qualify for the next stage of the Champions League was to win or draw. Last night there was a six-goal thriller at Old Trafford where things didn't go the way they were supposed to.
CSKA had got off to the better start but United were starting to control the game, when the visitors took the lead. Click to continue reading...

If you had asked me six months ago who was England's best centre back I would have undoubtedly said Rio Ferdinand. However posed with the same question now I would be a little less sure. I think that the talk that he's "over the hill" is overly dramatic, but Ferdinand's form this season has definitely been more than questionable.

Saturday's snoozy session between Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers turned Old Trafford into a literal Theatre of Dreams. Even the linesman sailed off to the Land of Nod, for what other excuse could there be for deeming Rovers sub Nikola Kalinic offside when he banged in Edwin Van der Sar's deflection off a Benni McCarthy strike for a goal?

Like so often it wasn't the greatest Manchester United performance but they did deserve the three points as Blackburn had made them fight hard for it. It was the inspirational Dimitar Berbatov who had carried United, demonstrating his tricks, flicks and of course a superb piece of individual skill which broke the deadlock in the 55th minute.

After the 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League last weekend, Man United really needed a win against Blackburn Rovers. United were without the injured trio of Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Nemanja Vidic.
The Man United starting XI was- Edwin Van Der Sar, John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra, Luis Nani, Anderson, Michael Carrick, Antonio Valencia, Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov. Click to continue reading...

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.

My normal pre-match bravado wasn't at full strength after the four-game losing streak (Liverpool's worst run since the Spring of 1987) and going into the fixture against Manchester United Sunday I was a sleepless bag of frenetic nerves.

We tend to play our best against the strongest opposition (I thought our outing against Chelsea was one of our best performances of the season except for of course the two moments that led to their two goals) and Fernando Torres was on the starting team sheet.

Frank Lampard

The Blues midfielder would have an especially nice tenth match of the season. Not only did his club cruise to a home victory over Blackburn 5-0, but Lampard was one of the main components of the club's offense. He scored two goals in the match and nearly had two more on shots that buzzed the post.

Ever since returning for Man United from injuries, defender Rio Ferdinand hasn't been in the best of form. Ferdinand's mistakes have led to goals being conceded, according the The Sun- Sir Alex Ferguson has had enough.
The tabloid believes that Sir Alex has told Ferdinand to improve his form or risk being axed by both club and country. Click to continue reading...

Sir Alex looks for Edwin's replacement.

In all honesty, Liverpool deserved their victory. And whether you decide to blame the referee is your choice, but at the end of the day the team who had far more chances and looked better when they had possession deserved to win.

The harsh reality was that United failed to create much and were lacking any real cutting edge.

Well that was just what the doctor ordered...and then some. Its hard to imagine a more perfect result for Rafa and Liverpool Football Club, obviously having Javier Mascherano sent off late on was not ideal but in many ways him giving his all for the team all the way until the last seconds, hence the late challenge on Edwin Van der Sar, is in many ways a good thing and shows that the Argentine is mentally back on the ball.

Liverpool made it 3-on-3, as they defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Anfield, their third consecutive victory over the Premiership Champions. This win allowed them not only to climb in the Premier League table, but also helped them stop their losing streak, worse in 2 decades. Fernando Torres gave the Reds the early lead and scored his [.

Vidic, unable to cope with Liverpool,....again.

For the neutral or Liverpool supporter, Sunday's massive fixture between England's two most historically successful clubs had it all: sending offs, goals, incredible atmosphere, more beach balls & definitely loads of drama. Are United's fiercest rivals & Northwest neighbors slowly becoming their bogy team?

Could there really be a better time to beat Liverpool? If there is, I'd like to know the scenario. The struggles of our bitter rivals have certainly been well documented over the past few days as they endure their worst sequence of results for some 22 years.

Victory for United at Anfield on Sunday would signify Liverpool's fifth straight defeat and would open up the gap between the two sides to 10 points in the Premier League.

In the summer, Arsenal's Andrei Arshavin tipped us off to Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev, with Edwin Van der Sar not getting any younger and Ben Foster battling injury.

Ahead of our match against Akinfeev's team, CSKA Moscow, Sir Alex Ferguson was asked whether he was interested in signing the keeper.

Following Manchester United's 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow, Alex Ferguson took time to single out the opposition's goalkeeper; remarking that the 23 Russian shot stopper was ‘outstanding'.

I'm not sure if Ferguson saw something I didn't but over the course of the ninety minutes, it seems staggering that the young goalkeeper deserved such high praise.

United have got off to a good start to the season. We have suffered one defeat to Burnley and a draw to Sunderland, other than that we have won every single game we have played in all competitions. With a win tonight, United could be all but qualified for the next round of the Champions League. Click to continue reading...
