Manchester United – Paul Scholes Retiring And No One Cares

Posted on 12 May, 2013, by in Soccer

It’s hard to say Paul Scholes had a lot to do with his 11th Premier League title. He hasn’t started in a league match since December, but a medal is a medal. Retiring for the second time in 24 months shouldn’t raise too many eyebrows, with Manchester United having a more meaningful departure to handle. One of the greatest midfielders in England’s history is calling it quits, this time for good, but without anyone really paying attention. More

Maybe Howard Webb has finally ended all the rumors about him and Manchester United, by giving a red card to Rafael in the closing minutes of the match between Manchester United, who weren’t really looking (or needed to) to win, and Chelsea, in a must-win mode, getting the three points they were looking for through a winning goal from Juan Mata.

Manchester United – Ryan Giggs and the Rest of the Kids

Posted on 25 Feb, 2013, by in Soccer

Sometimes longevity is overrated. Just because a player gets to hang around for so long it doesn’t mean he’s been great. It just means he’s useful, or something of the sort, right? Ryan Giggs is the exception. Not just because of all he has achieved during his career with Manchester United, but also by doing it still today, with some players who weren’t even born when he started playing. More

For Manchester United, their latest win as they run away with the Premier League, was about Rafael scoring a rare goal and Ryan Giggs with the finisher putting a solid and remarkable performance (at his age) in the middle of the field. For the rest of the league, only Robin van Persie being slightly injured seemed to be causing any interest. More

Manchester United – Not Worth Much Without Robin van Persie

Posted on 6 Jan, 2013, by in Soccer

Sometimes, being a one-man team isn’t such a bad thing. There isn’t much to Manchester United this season beyond Robin van Persie, but that doesn’t seem to be hurting them too much. More
