    Manchester United – Sucking up to Cristiano Ronaldo

    Seeing the Champions League draw between Real Madrid and Manchester United was bound to bring back some memories for Cristiano Ronaldo, facing his former club for the first time since departing but I don’t think anyone expected the love-fest going on between the sides, especially from Alex Ferguson.

  • Manchester United – Start With Wayne Rooney, Ends With Robin van Persie

    Manchester United – Start With Wayne Rooney, Ends With Robin van Persie

    Give Manchester United the underdog role, especially in a Premier League match, and they flourish. Wayne Rooney was built for matches like these, with tons of space to operate in and show off skills at both scoring and providing for others, while Robin van Persie simply doesn’t care who he plays against and the stature of the match, he’ll find a way to score.

    Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Can’t Make Subs Better

    It was a strange approach from Alex Ferguson and Manchester United on their final group stage match of the Champions League this season, clinching qualification a month ago. Wayne Rooney gets to play, maybe to sharpen his finishing and passing before the big derby this weekend, while everyone around him, including Javier Hernandez, probably won’t be playing in the match of the season.

  • Jose Mourinho – Life After Real Madrid

    Jose Mourinho – Life After Real Madrid

    Unless something completely unexpected happens, Jose Mourinho will complete this season with Real Madrid and carry on to being a fourth season with the same team. Penned down till 2016, Mourinho might actually stay with a team for longer than three years for the first time in his career.

  • Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Shines in Tactical Mayhem

    Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Shines in Tactical Mayhem

    Tactics? What are tactics? Alex Ferguson continues to let his players go gung-ho in their attempts to erase all of their defensive mistakes. That is just fine with Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney, thriving in the tactical mayhem that has become the breeding ground for these Manchester United comebacks.

    The Sexy Managers Calendar of 2013

    What good are football managers if you can’t make fun of them? Whether it’s their physical depiction or something that has to do with their behavior or even a nickname, Alex Ferguson, Kenny Dalglish, Martin Jol, Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Roberto Mancini, Roy Hodgson, Fabio Capello, Harry Redknapp and others get a harsh yet hilarious treatment in the next ‘Sexy Managers Calendar.

  • Manchester United – Robin van Persie is All You Need

    Manchester United – Robin van Persie is All You Need

    Two schools of thought in football: One says that results are all that matter, and it doesn’t matter how you win. The other says that ability, good or bad, in the long range, will eventually catch up with you. It’s easy to understand that after another bad game, decided after only 33 seconds, Alex Ferugson is hoping the first school of thought determines the fate of Manchester United.

    10 Highest Paid Football Managers

    The man who speaks and complains more than any other manager in the world also gets paid better than the rest of ’em. Jose Mourinho leads a pack that included Roberto Mancini, Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson and Carlo Ancelotti as the highest paid football managers in the world, although his time with Real Madrid isn’t the best and most solid he’s ever had.

  • Manchester United – Don’t Need Robin van Persie Goals

    Manchester United – Don’t Need Robin van Persie Goals

    Another match of falling behind and making a feverish comeback, this time not even needing goals from Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney. Manchester United keep on winning despite playing only 20 minutes of good football each match. It has nothing to do with tactics, and it’ll make them fall and stumble down the road.

  • Manchester United – Javier Hernandez Shines Despite Tactics

    Manchester United – Javier Hernandez Shines Despite Tactics

    There is no longer such a thing as tactics in Manchester United matches. Just waiting for the usual frailty in the midfield and defense to give them a challenge, a lead to chase down, before the front-line, this time with a super-clinical Chicharito coming in for the rescue, saves the day.
