Diving Footballers – Every Big Team Needs One
Diving in football is an epidemic, but one of the biggest problems is that some of the world’s most famous players do it quite consistently, on the biggest stage possible: From Critstiano Ronaldo, maybe the most recognizable athlete in the world, to Ashley Young, who isn’t a big star, but plays for the most popular side, Manchester United.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Can’t Be This Wasteful
When Ashley Young keeps lowering the bar for cheating and diving and Marouane Fellaini has yet another awful performance for Manchester United, Robin van Persie should be one of the players David Moyes trusts with his eyes closed. However, the Dutchman proved just as lacking as some of his teammates.

Karol Linetty – The Next Manchester United Wonderkid?
It doesn’t matter who is the manager at Manchester United – the club loves to sign teenagers, potential wonderkids, in hope of hitting the jackpot. People still haven’t calmed down about Adnan Januzaj, and it seems there’s already a new one on the list – 18 year old Karol Linetty of Lech Poznan.

Manchester United – Adnan Januzaj The Wind Behind Wayne Rooney & Robin van Persie
Things are starting to look better for Manchester United as they win consecutive league matches, with most of the newly found success having to do with Adnan Januzaj playing a lot better than any 18-year old should, being the driving force behind Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie who both got on the scoresheet in a match that was ever only 22 minutes after it began.

Manchester United – Adnan Januzaj Proves He’s a Real Star
Among the few things that David Moyes has managed to get right early in his tenure as Manchester United manager is the belief in Adnan Januzaj, who doesn’t look like your ordinary wonderkid, full of potential but also of youthful faults.

Manchester United Transfer Rumors – Anderson is Leaving
Considering how disappointing Anderson Luís de Abreu Oliveira has been for Manchester United during most of his 7-year term at Old Trafford, it’s surprising it has taken the team so long to sell him or simply get rid of him.

Manchester United – Chicharito and Shinji Kagawa Deserve Better
Maybe this is the match that will make David Moyes understand some thing about this Manchester United team it has taken him too long to. Shinji Kagawa isn’t a left winger, no matter how much his manager wants him to be. Javier Hernandez needs to be on the pitch in those final moments and probably more. His kind of scoring ability is something that just can’t be taught.

Alex Ferguson Pisses Off Brendan Rodgers
There are plenty of people angry at Alex Ferguson for taking out the trash from his days as a Manchester United manager and letting it out into the open just so he can sell more copies of his autobiography.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Tries Too Much
Victories should provide a calming effect on a team that’s going through a rough period, but Manchester United can’t even seem to enjoy their wins, in another tepid display of weak midfield and one Wayne Rooney who did provide the best moments of attacking football for the team, but also tried to do a little bit too much on his own, fading away as the match progressed.
