In keeping with the ongoing tradition of being just behind Barcelona, I figured I would start Friday off with a little thievery. After our devastating (just kidding) defeat yesterday, I figured the best way to regroup was with a bit of comedy. So, whoever can throw out the best three captions wins dance lessons from [...]

Cheers to Colin for pointing this one out, but The Spoiler put up a post discussing Carlos Tevez’ love of first team football. Only the exact opposite.
When asked in an interview about his feelings regarding the plethora of strikers currently employed by Citeh, the former United player stated, “When you are at a top club [...]

He did it. He finally did it. Two years after he was signed from Porto, Anderson scored his first goal (shootout penalties don’t count) for Manchester United. And what a goal it was. A left footed bender off the post from about 25 out started yesterday’s match off properly, and Valencia’s semi (okay, very) lucky [...]

90+ – AND THAT’S THE FINAL WHISTLE! Anderson with the first goal, and Valencia nets the winner. United struggled at times in the second half, but a win is a win… and Boca certainly aren’t pushovers. So well done to United! See you all tomorrow!

In a move that will surely not please Inter Milan fans, Jose Mourinho indicated that he would be a willing replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson when/if the aging Scotsman ever retires. “I would consider going to Manchester United, but United have to consider if they want me to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson. If they do, [...]

With their win over Hangzhou on Sunday, United wrapped their Asian Tour in fairly convincing style. The victory pushed the Red Devils preseason record to 4-0 with 16 goals for and 6 against.

China may have all the world’s jobs, but today it was a strong Manchester United team that had all the goals. The Red Devils put on an impressive performance, and slaughtered Huangzhou with four goals in the first half. Michael Owen (two goals), Dimitar Berbatov, Zoran Tosic, Nani, and Ryan Giggs (three goals) all got [...]

By: Taylor Rockwell | 9 Comments
Since he signed for United nearly a month ago, there has been a fair amount of back and forth regarding Michael Owen. If you were to believe every Asian that has seen him in a United kit thus far, one might tend to believe that he was the second coming of King Eric Cantona. More [...]

By: Taylor Rockwell | 1 Comment
United continued their winning ways this evening/afternoon/morning, defeating Korean side FC Seoul 3-2. Goals from Wayne Rooney, Kiko Macheda, and Dimitar Berbatov kept United undefeated through three matches of their Asian Tour. Perhaps more notable than the scoreline was the fact that the Korean crowds apparently haven’t calmed down a bit since 2002. Every time [...]
