Man Utd’s defense simply hasn’t been in the sort of shape that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have hoped for it to. This is despite the Norwegian gaffer adhering to Sir Alex Ferguson’s maxims and investing heavily in defensive players during the summer transfer window. In spite of that, the Red Devils have now conceded upwards…
Manchester United’s conditions are bordering on the state of an all-time low. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s managerial numbers are rapidly surpassing even the horrid figured put in by forgettable gaffers of the past. Social media was riddled with reprimands for the Norwegian after the Red Devils were reduced to a 2-2 draw to Aston Villa at…
Manchester United got a taste of their transfer target Jack Grealish’s talents this Sunday. The Englishman scored a screaming goal and opening the scoreline last night. Grealish easily beat the defenders and David de Gea with a curling effort into the top-right corner. Aston Villa held United to a 2-2- stalemate, as the playmaker proved…
Mauricio Pochettino may not be back in business in the Premier League any time soon, due to a bizarre clause in his Tottenham Hotspur contract, as per the Express.

Manchester United have faltered yet again and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s job may be headed in the same direction as Jose Mourinho’s was at this time last year. United’s latest disappointment arrived against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday when the away side held the Old Trafford outfit to a 2-2 draw. Goals from…
Man United have made contact with Arturo Vidal’s camp as they look to reinforce their midfield, reports FCInterNews. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been tinkering in midfield, trying to find the right combination of players. But Fred and Andreas Pereira have so far been proven unreliable, whereas Nemanja Matic seems to have set his mind on…
Jesse Lingard has been amongst the players to have received the brunt of the criticism so far this season. Being largely deployed as a central attacking midfielder by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the academy graduate has been far from impressive in the spot and often his inadequacies have canceled out the brilliance of efforts from elsewhere…
Arsenal’s woeful run of form may leave with the departure of Unai Emery, but their defensive woes continue to haunt them. Sokratis Papastathopoulos has looked hardly reliable since the conclusion of last season. Rob Holding hasn’t exactly been the same since returning from his ACL injury, making things worse. New arrival David Luiz has looked…
Daniel James has been a superb signing for Manchester United so far this season. The very fact that he arrived from a Championship side and for a comparatively lower fee has meant that even the smallest of achievements have taken on a great quality. Fans have been particularly impressed by his electric pace and the…
Marcus Rashford is presently Manchester United’s top goal scorer in all competitions, with his Premier League tally alone standing at 7, with Anthony Martial’s 3 goals following suit. These two figures aptly capture a lot of what is wrong with the Red Devils who have failed to replace Romelu Lukaku or for that matter any…
Paul Pogba’s departure was the subject of the summer as the Frenchman openly admitted his willingness for a new challenge. Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid were top pursuers of the Frenchman but the deal never materialized as the higher-ups at Manchester United kept up their asking price. Los Blancos were not in a position to…
Manchester United tasted defeat away to Astana on Thursday when their youthful squad was unable to change the 2-1 scoreline. The average age of the starting lineup was just above 21 and that too due to Lee Grant’s seniority. Seven full debuts were made during the fixture in a historic move and fans of the…
Manchester United have certainly missed the services of Paul Pogba. The lack of a world-class attacking midfielder has more often than not been the sole difference in them dropping points from easily winnable games. The September injury means that Pogba has missed a good chunk of the season and a lot of speculation was doing…
Jason Sancho will be allowed to leave Borussia Dortmund in January, reports the Independent. With 6 goals and 9 assists this season, the Englishman hasn’t exactly been underperforming, he has been one of his side’s best players. The issues at Dortmund lie within a more personal level than on the pitch. It started when Sancho…
Manchester United’s intent on making academy graduates a part of their DNA once more is quite evident. Their recent starting lineups have been some of the most youthful ones in the club’s history with the squad that traveled and later lost to Astana in the Europa League on Thursday being a prime example of the…
Manchester United’s historically youthful side failed to excel away at Astana, with the Kazakhstan champions securing a 2-1 victory courtesy of a goal from Dmitriy Shomko and an unfortunate own-goal from debutant Di’Shon Bernard, which canceled out Jesse Lingard’s impressive early strike. It was a game of many firsts on either end of the spectrum…
Phil Jones rejects the idea of having a testimonial match in his honour when asked about it by Manchester United, as per the Athletic. The Englishman suffered a very disappointing outing on Sunday against Sheffield United. Jones found himself at fault at conceding a goal as he was allowed to be easily bodied off the…
Jose Mourinho is back to Premier League football and his admirers would have been pleased to see him victorious at the touchline when he secured a 3-2 win over West Ham United with his new club Tottenham Hotspur.

The journey will be a tiring and grueling one for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and company, leading to a youthful side making the cut for the game. United have already qualified for the knockout stages of the competition and will be looking to…
Chris Smalling is arguably having a better season than much of his former teammates at Manchester United. The English centre-back has been excellent during his loan spell at AS Roma, with mind-boggling statistics to back his return to peak form. The Serie A side is currently in the fifth-place domestically and making large strides to…
Manchester United have sorely missed the services of Paul Pogba. The French midfielder was an instrumental player in much of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s initial success at Old Trafford and now his injury-prone nature is a subject of much contention. The foot-injury that the former Juventus player is presently recovering from was expected to keep him…
Manchester United still consider themselves capable of attracting top names. At the same time, this summer saw them struggle, with Europe’s upcoming talents reluctant to shift to a side that didn’t compete in the Champions League and was a serious doubt for a top-four finish in the Premier League, let alone a title. Those fears…
Things turn sour for Jason Sancho at Borussia Dortmund as the player now feels a sense of betrayal after recent incidents. The Englishman followed up with his stunning breakthrough season with 5 goals and 9 assists in 17 appearances this season. Even as a teenager, Sancho has established himself as a starter for a European…
Manchester United have found themselves in a situation they aren’t quite familiar with as a result of their recent performances. The post-Sir Alex Ferguson era hasn’t exactly been kind to the United supporters, which includes former players as well.
