Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Shines Bright in Sabotage Aftermath
The beginning of the Ryan Giggs era, as short or long as it may become, was a great one for Manchester United, getting a win, a convincing one, at Old Trafford, which has been an issue for them this season.

Manchester United – Great Managers Don’t Want to Work There
The sacking of David Moyes and the 24 hours that follow raise an interesting question: Is Manchester United truly a big club or just one that seemed that way with Alex Ferguson in charge, because you wouldn’t expect Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola to be so keen on turning that speculative interest down if it was truly the dream job for them.

Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho Doesn’t & Shouldn’t Care About “Beautiful” Football
No one will sack Jose Mourinho for winning without style, class or dignity before, during and after matches. Chelsea fans might appreciate him more if more goals would have been scored, but not by much.
