Manchester United – Robin van Persie Was the Only One Interested
Boredom and motivation is something Manchester United have been battling with, funny to say, for over a month now, with the Premier League title well secured for quite some time. Robin van Persie, making a return to a stadium he played at for eight seasons, against a hostile crowd, was the only one with a real reason to put on his best.

Chelsea FC – Manager Stability Needed
The only thing separating Manchester United and Chelsea during the Roman Abramovich era is the man on the bench. While Manchester United have had the same manager at the same seat during those 10 seasons, Chelsea have been through nine of them, and Rafa Benitez, the most recent one, isn’t going to stay once this season is over.

Premier League – Arsenal vs Manchester United Predictions
Under different circumstances, this would have made an excellent ‘match of the season’, but the truth is Arsenal are only fighting to win a Champions League ticket, while Manchester United have already been crowned champions, and besides a Premier League points record that might not matter to them too much, there’s nothing left to play for.

Manchester United – Only Alex Ferguson Proud of Title
We want our champions to be better than what Manchester United have given us this season, although Alex Ferguson keeps telling us how proud he is of the team that consists of Robin van Persie, Shinji Kagawa and Wayne Rooney, that didn’t make it past the Champions League knockout stage but claimed the Premier League title with a remarkable run of scores and without any competition whatsoever.

Manchester United to Humiliate Arsenal Through Guard of Honor
For those who see football as more than just a sport or a business or a game, having to witness your own team form a guard of honor in order to congratulate the new champions is a humiliating and infuriating tradition and ceremony.

Manchester United – The 2014 Shopping List
While winning their 20th Premier League title should make Alex Ferguson happy for a few more days, he’s got more goals on his mind – more championships, but more importantly is success in the Champions League which has eluded him over the last couple of seasons.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Finds Scoring Touch in Perfect Timing
It wasn’t the first hat-trick for Robin van Persie in his young Manchester United career, but it was probably a little more special than his first one at the beginning of the season, when everything about Manchester United seemed to be about his scoring touch. It’s been a rough couple of months for the Dutch striker, but he has regained his scoring touch just in time to secure a 20th championship for his club, and a first one for him personally.

Manchester United – Javier Hernandez & Rio Ferdinand Aren’t Leaving
Don’t believe anyone yet expect anything is a common saying about many subjects, including the world of football and its abundance of transfer rumors. While Manchester United will probably be looking for new and expensive strikers and centre backs during the summer, Alex Ferguson is adamant that both Chicharito and Rio Ferdinand, opposed to the constant ramblings suggesting their departure, aren’t leaving the club anytime soon.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Slowly Pushed Out of the Club
You feel it in the air when you watch Manchester United matches. Despite the walk-over title run, things are far from perfect in Sir Alex’s kingdom, who is still trying to find his way to make his team as good as those foreigners who keep beating him on the way to the Champions League. It sounder ridiculous before, but maybe selling Wayne Rooney is the best way to move forward.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Enjoys Late Wake Up Call
When you don’t score goals, you take what you get, and as it happens, Manchester United usually get favors from referees and linesman, giving Robin van Persie a chance not only to score his second goal in so many matches, something we forgot he can do, but also salvage a draw to help keep the pressure off of them, while Shinji Kagawa enjoyed one of his better games for the Red Devils.
