  1. Why Carrick survived at Man United & Sesko injury blow

    Despite what you might have read earlier in the week, Manchester United have not sacked head coach Michael Carrick. He will continue with his 'normal' duties for the game at Chelsea, and potentially beyond. Is it a show of support, though?

  2. Carrick in limbo at Man United

  5. Where does Leeds draw leave Carrick?

    In an alternative universe where Michael Carrick's Manchester United have started the Premier League season on a hot streak, a 1-1 draw at Elland Road against a well organised, combative Leeds would be completely fine. As it is, and despite

  7. Martinez criticises Man United investment after Madrid defeat

    As Champions League matches between European giants go, this one was more ordinary than some. Manchester United weren't expected to win, and they didn't, despite a performance that showed some positive signs. However, the script was torn up

  8. Why did Man United struggle against Spurs?

    After a lengthy break, and with a heightened atmosphere around Old Trafford, this wasn't the return that anyone would've wanted. Spurs dominated possession and territory in the opening half-hour and could have had a healthy lead. Improvemen

  9. Can Man United kick-start season against Spurs?

    The Premier League returns after the extended international break and it's a chance for Michael Carrick to reset and get the campaign off on a better footing. If league form is anything to go by, Tottenham Hotspur SHOULD be a useful opposit

  10. Man United's Greatest Players: Part Three

    It's the final countdown... the top five greatest Manchester United players of all time (according to Andy Mitten). If our previous episode was contentious, the decisions here are more straightforward, albeit the choice between two great mi

  11. Man United's Greatest Players: Part Two

    After a brief aside (!) we return to our discussion of Manchester United's greatest ever players, as adjudicated by Andy Mitten. If you thought the countdown from 25-11 was tough enough, we're into the top ten and it is not getting any easi

  12. How might City verdict impact Man United?

  15. Can Man United's players do more?

    Another weekend, another deflating performance in what has been a hugely disappointing start to the new season. Mateus Cunha's late equaliser may have rescued a point but does it do anything for the mood of fans who had been optimistic afte

  21. Who shone in Man United's Ipswich win?

    Manchester United started their Old Trafford campaign a little better than they did on the road; Ipswich may have taken the lead but, in the end, the goals rained in with a third United hat-trick for Bruno Fernandes, one for Bryan Mbeumo, a

  28. Are Man United Premier League ready?

    It's a punchy question with the season still three weeks away and World Cup players yet to return to training, so in once sense no, Manchester United are not Premier-League-ready, but... With no fewer than nine clubs set to have a manageria

  29. Man United to bring Marcus Rashford back into fold?
