Ronaldo Departure A Huge Blow To Manchester United

by Ethan Armstrong on June 16, 2009 · 15 comments

Since Real Madrid’s £80m swoop on Cristiano Ronaldo, I’ve read plenty of responses by United supporters insisting this was a positive move for the team. Man U is not one player. We’ve got 80m to spend.  We’re fine. No, really.

Manchester United Must Sign Carlos Tevez

by Sebastian Shepard on June 11, 2009 · 10 comments

So the dust seems to be finally settling on the criticism about Berbatov’s mishit penalty on Sunday in the semi-final defeat against Everton. There’s no doubting it was a badly hit penalty, but it seems to have unpicked a scab over his performances for Manchester United as his time so far with the Red Devils.

Aaron Lennon: Potential Starting To Pay Dividends

by Michael Timbury on April 3, 2009 · 0 comments

Since the turn of the year, Aaron Lennon has been in outstanding form.
