Sir Alex Ferguson is officially leaving his paid ambassador role with Manchester United. The legendary coach previously managed the club from 1986 until 2013. With the Scot at the helm, the Red Devils collected an incredible 13 Premier League titles. Ferguson also grabbed five FA Cup trophies and a pair of UEFA Champions League triumphs. […]

Manchester United finds itself in a turbulent phase as the team continues to struggle under current manager Erik ten Hag.

Despite retiring nearly a decade ago, Sir Alex Ferguson is about to add to his medal collection with an old European cup. UEFA has decided to award Aberdeen FC European Cup Winners' Cup medals for their 1983 triumph over Real Madrid. Ferguson was at the helm at the Scottish club from 1978 to 1986 before […]

“King” Cantona will not be strutting out of the Old Trafford tunnel with all his confidence and swagger this season. David Beckham will not be unleashing one of his trademark free kicks at opposing goalkeepers. Roy Keane will not be leading Manchester United to victory after being down 2-0 like he did against Juventus in […]

As the New Year approaches this seasons title race is one of the most open in the history of the Premier League. No one is showing form that suggests they will run away with it and five teams will seriously still believe that could become Champions come the end of the season. Let’s take a […]

It is never surprising to hear Sir Alex Ferguson saying something 'controversial'. Whether it's emotional, pointless sniping at a beleaguered enemy or an attempt some kind of Jedi Mind Trick deployed to 'psych out' Liverpool and their players is up to you. An interesting point with Ferguson's 'Torres is the biggest cheater ever, EVER' (possible paraphrase) comments is that […]

After covering the Barcelona versus Real Madrid topic, it is only logical if Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were discussed due to their pivotal role in both teams. The two wingers are currently playing for two of the best clubs in Spain and two of the most popular outfits in the world.   Barca's Lio Messi is a  graceful and diminutive yet […]

Cast your minds back to Saturday March 21 2009.  Manchester United have just lost 2-0 away to Fulham, I think we were all surprised but it wasn't what one would deem unbelievable. Something I did deem unbelievable was the reaction of some fans and pundits after the result. Rewind a week further back and we lay our scene at Old Trafford.  A glorious day, particularly for a certain […]

   The criticism directed at referees and their assistants these days is becoming more of  a talking point than many games themselves. Howard Webb made an incorrect judgement and awarded Manchester United a penalty against Tottenham last week, a decision that Spurs manager Harry Redknapp clearly felt changed the game. Now there is some truth in this, it […]

I'm going to give a quick rundown and early predictions though I reserve the right to change my mind before kick-off of the this round! 🙂 The tie that will likely generate the most press […]

The protracted saga that is Cristiano Ronaldo's on again, off again transfer to Real Madrid took another bizarre turn yesterday as Alex Ferguson launched a stinging attack on the Madrid hierarchy. Ferguson denounced those at Real Madrid as a 'mob' and added that,"I would not sell them a virus." Not talk befitting a knight of the realm but Ferguson is not […]

Neither a flying pizza nor a kick in the shin could fell him, but Sir Alex Ferguson is 66-years-old.  He will retire at some point.  Manchester United manager for 22 years, Ferguson’s teams have won 10 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League Finals.  His run must, eventually, end, possibly after serving […]
