Man Utd Youth Policy I have taken at look at the approximate ages of players in five years time. The aim is to look at who we have coming through that can replace these players. Van Der Sar 45, Rafael 25, Rio Ferdinand 37, Vidic 34, Evra 34, Valencia 30, Nani 29, Anderson 27, Fletcher [...]

Dimitar Berbatov put in a top class display yesterday against Blackburn, which showed his value to the club. On a typical day where everything fell for the guy, where as coincidently during most of his United career things have not fallen for him. The move he started on the edge of the box will surely [...]

I begin by making the claim that if the Wayne Rooney of last season has reappeared this season United would be sitting at the top of the league. That’s because of the chances we have missed to get closer to Chelsea and how often they have put in poor performances themselves. It’s clear we miss [...]

Terrible news for United, bad news for the Premiership The Rooney situation has a particular bad smell about it. It is different to the Beckham, Nistelrooy, or Stam departures.

As one manager mentioned this weekend the long tours to foreign climbs ‘are not ideal’. That leads me to question whether Giggs and Scholes really need to be starting all these games. I think there are others that need to be given time and starting matches will only build their confidence. These are players like [...]

Chelsea fire sale? Undoubted credit has to go to Chelsea for what is now their double winning season. They have a remarkable record at home which I would say is the greatest in Premier League history. They’ve made Stamford Bridge more than just a fortress. Other rivals have good records but they will often lose [...]

The midfield playmaker finished last season how he started it, on the bench and not in the match day squad at times. A very disappointing position for a player who should see a space for him in the England side, given the regularity in which Gareth Barry has been starting England internationals. The player had [...]
