Our youngsters are still keeping busy after the long taxing EPL season.
Chicharito for one has carried his fine scoring form into the Gold Cup where he’s currently the top scorer with 5 goals from 3 games. For a player who was supposed to be eased into the rigors of the English game and pegged more as one for the future, he played in well over 40 games for us last season. Despite that many appearances for us, he’s still showing the same enthusiasm and energy in the 3 games he’s played for Mexico thus far. Read the rest of this entry »

As most of you have probably heard by now, the Phil Jones debacle has finally drawn to a close. There appears to be conflicting reports on the final agreed upon fee that we paid to Blackburn. Some are saying that we compromised and arrived at a figure close to 20m so as not to draw this out longer than necessary. Others are saying that we stood firm on our initial offer since the language stipulated in Jones’ contract was that the release clause was the fee that any club interested in signing him needed to cough up (which we did).

So..it looks like we’ve made no further progress in regards to our bid for Phil Jones.
Soccernet is reporting that while we’ve agreed to personal terms with the player AND met the buyout clause in his contract, the most important thing hasn’t been resolved. And that would be the actual transfer fee to convince Blackburn to sell him to us.
The original reports were that the 16m pounds inserted as the release clause would automatically be the transfer fee. That doesn’t seem to be the case. Read the rest of this entry »

Will he or won’t he?
That was the big question throughout the day that marked the (at time of posting) potential transfer of Phil Jones to United. If you followed it unfold as avidly as I did, the whole debacle could be summarized in this way:
Breaking news – Phil Jones has snubbed some of the other big clubs to sign for United.
More details – Arsenal, Liverpool are among the clubs that met his release clause of something like 16 million pounds and were given permission to talk to him. Ultimately, he chose United because SAF whispered some sweet words AND wowed his parents. Read the rest of this entry »

We knew this day was coming. We knew it was going to happen sooner rather than later. The ending of a storied and illustrious chapter in United’s history. Read the rest of this entry »

The future of our Bulgarian goalscorer seems to be shrouded in mystery. Will he stay with us or will he demand a transfer after being slighted by the manager at Wembley? After finally hitting the sort of goalscoring form that United fans had been craving for his first couple of seasons, could we now be losing him after his most prolific season in a red shirt?
It obviously doesn’t matter what we think or want, but if it were up to you, what would you do in this situation? Knowing that our first choice pairing is probably going to be Rooney and Chicharito heading into next season, and with Welbeck, Macheda and Diouf coming back from their loan spells, will we even have room for Berba?

It wasn’t the fairytale ending we were all hoping for. But for any fan in red to argue that we deserved something out of this game would have been a serious disservice to the way the Spanish champions dominated us.
We fared better than our showing from 2 years ago. But that wasn’t exactly very difficult to do. Yet again, Barcelona showed why they are a class above every other club team over the past few years and it will take something miraculous to displace them at the top.
Impressions:
1. No Berbatov. Wow. Read the rest of this entry »

It was great to see Becks, Butt and Phil putting on that jersey again. It felt like they never left.
Becks looked like he’s still got it. His delivery was exceptional all night long and his hustle for the 90 minutes reminded everyone why we loved him and how like Giggsy, he’s expanded his game to extend his playing career.
On the flip side, is there any hope for Bebe and Obertan? Read the rest of this entry »

Cup final’s are not unfamiliar territory for Manchester United as a club, but for this year’s crop of fledglings it was the biggest night of their lives, so they could’ve been forgiven for having nerves and feeling the pressure. For one last time this season they lined up knowing that this was a straight forward knockout, winner takes all situation and an opportunity to carve their names into the history of United, or as Sir Alex likes to describe it as ‘the fabric of the club’.

Our 2 primary concerns coming into this game was firstly, to ensure that we put out a strong enough squad and performance so that our selection would not come under FA scrutiny. Secondly, we needed to ensure that our key players would come away from this weekend’s encounter injury free and ready for Wembley.
In that sense, it was mission accomplished. Read the rest of this entry »
