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

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

    Replacing a legend is always an impossible task, but someone has to do it. The problem with Manchester United picking David Moyes? They probably made the right choice, although it’s obviously too early to safely make that assumption.

  • Wayne Rooney Making Manchester United Quite Nervous

    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.

  • Manchester United – Robin van Persie Can’t Do it Alone a Second Time

    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

    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.

  • Javier Hernandez is the Most Efficcient Goalscorer in the Premier League

    Javier Hernandez is the Most Efficcient Goalscorer in the Premier League

    Is being the top scorer in the league also means you are the best? Some prefer efficiency to amount when they measure these things, and when it comes to that, no one in the Premier League is better than Javier Hernandez, leading the league in 2012-2013 in the goals-per-minute ratio, followed by Romelu Lukaku of West Brom and Manchester United teammate Robin van Persie, who is also the league’ top scorer.

  • 10 Best Goals of the 2012-2013 Premier League Season

    10 Best Goals of the 2012-2013 Premier League Season

    Picking the goal of decision depends on the style you prefer: The long range crackers (Gareth Bale, David Luiz, Cameron Jerome, Matt Lowton), sublime passing plays (Jose Enrique of Liverpool) or perfect, umatched finishing technique (Luis Suarez and Robin van Persie).

  • Manchester United – Robin van Persie & Chicharito Give Alex Ferguson an Exciting Send Off

    Manchester United – Robin van Persie & Chicharito Give Alex Ferguson an Exciting Send Off

    What’s a better way to go? A dull 0-0 or another 1/2-0 win by Manchester United that bores the life out of neutral viewers, or an exciting 5-5 draw, that did see his team drop a three goal lead and for the first time in his life not get angry about something like that. Alex Ferguson had his farewell for the club, the league and the game, while Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez tried to show there’s a future to be optimistic about, even without Wayne Rooney.

  • Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Ruins the Perfection of Alex Ferguson Leaving

    Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Ruins the Perfection of Alex Ferguson Leaving

    Going against the club and especially against Alex Ferguson never earns a player too much adoration from the fans, but it was weird to hear so many boos for Wayne Rooney as he was walking over to pick up yet another Premier League winners’ medal, possibly his last with Manchester United.

  • Arsenal to Manchester United – Robin van Persie Made the Perfect Choice

    Arsenal to Manchester United – Robin van Persie Made the Perfect Choice

    Arsene Wenger once said that if he’d had the talents he’s been grooming over the years this season, things would have been different. But talents don’t want to stay for promise after promise, preferring more money and a lot more ambition. Robin van Persie chose, along with Arsenal, Manchester United, and didn’t have to look backwards even for a single second.

  • Manchester United – Alex Ferguson Not Playing to Win

    Manchester United – Alex Ferguson Not Playing to Win

    Even if you promise real hard, it’s hard to motivate yourself and your players to give a true effort when there’s nothing on the line. Robin van Persie only has his own goals to play for, while Wayne Rooney hardly got a whiff of a chance. Alex Ferguson sent his team out only to prevent a loss, but could hardly see and get any good football from them all match long, eventually brought to life thanks to his own players getting sent off.
