Manchester United – Robin van Persie & Wilfried Zaha Rise Above the Mediocrity
You can’t expect a cohesive performance in a match that’s a little bit more than a friendly, especially considering the weak opposition, but Manchester United continue their ways of boring out wins, relying on individual brilliance, twice coming from their best player, Robin van Persie, and the only bright spot that has nothing to do with the Dutch man, Wilfried Zaha.

Manchester United – David Moyes Might Be In Way Over His Head

Wayne Rooney Making Manchester United Quite Nervous
After a decade of mostly very successful seasons and football, Wayne Rooney is once again somewhat, more than an ever, an unsettled figure at Manchester United, caring too much about what fans think of him and how he is presented by the club through the media.

Jose Mourinho Will Eventually Feud With David Moyes, Arsene Wenger & Manuel Pellegrini
Don’t buy into all this respect and “love” from Jose Mourinho to the rest of his counterparts from the Premier League. He’s been away for quite a while so it’s natural that all of his past feuds are forgotten, but as the season begins and progresses, the Chelsea manager will obviously find a way to sour his relationships with any manager that stands in his club’s way or simply fits into the mold of motivating his team.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Can’t Do it Alone a Second Time
What will we remember from Manchester United as they won the Premier League title for the fifth time in seven seasons? Not much except for Robin van Persie, and it’s quite clear they need a whole lot more to both repeat as champions and end their string of Champions League failures.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Deserves Better
It doesn’t seem to be a case of Wayne Rooney being bigger than the club, or trying to be. It seems like Manchester United and David Moyes mishandling a situation they could have dealt with better, and by that might be losing one of the team’s best players, even if he isn’t treated as such.

Manchester United – Shinji Kagawa Needs to Prove He Isn’t a Flop
Expensive signings can’t be judged by one season alone, but the jury is still out on Shinji Kagawa, who cost Manchester United £14 million last season, and had a hard to define debut season.
