Manchester United – Robin van Persie Makes a Fool of Himself
Instead of looking bored out of his mind with what’s left of the season like the rest of his teammates, Robin van Persie decided to celebrate his drought-ending goal a little bit too festively when you think about the long garbage time Manchester United have been on for quite some time, but strikers and goalscorers operate on a different code apparently. Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney represented what this team is all about this season in a much more suitable way.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie & Wayne Rooney Get Too Much Credit
All Alex Ferguson could do at the end of the match after losing the Manchester derby at home for the second straight season was blame the referees. What else? It’s not his fault that Manchester United were outplayed for most of the match in the middle of the pitch, while Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney looked too isolated and a tad useless upfront for most of the match. It’s always the officials.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie Forgot How to Score
Luckily for Robin van Persie, Manchester United are simply gliding towards the Premier League title, thanks to his scoring touch in the first half of the season, but there is no denying that if it wasn’t for their huge lead at the top of the table, we would be hearing a lot more questions and doubts about his ability, going through the worst scoring drought anyone of his caliber has gone through this season and in recent memory.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Shines Above Mediocrity
Mediocre, boring and dull are all words that would be perfect to describe the performance Manchester United gave as they inched closer to securing yet another Premier League title, as Wayne Rooney provided the only worthy strike to give them a win while their bizarre and slightly lucky streak of not conceding continues.

Jose Mourinho Thinks Real Madrid Win Over Manchester United Isn’t Special
While Alex Ferguson still can’t believe his team got knocked out of the Champions League because of a red card that he still feels was way too harsh on him, Jose Mourinho is playing it cool, letting everyone know just how un-special the win over Manchester United was for him and Real Madrid.

Manchester United – David de Gea Saves From Embarrassing Collapse
Arrogant is probably the right word for how Manchester United and Alex Ferguson treated their opponents, with Robin van Persie left on the bench and the way Alex Ferguson continues to talk to and about Rafa Benitez. Even the return of Wayne Rooney or the usual Chicharito poaching couldn’t stop his team from owing David de Gea a big thank you, denying another cup exit against Chelsea.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Isn’t Going so Soon
Maybe there’s more than some truth to the rumors that Manchester United want to really sell Wayne Rooney this time; that Alex Ferguson has had enough from his weight going up and down, from his fitness and attitude problems. Slight glitch in the system – Maybe no one wants him, or at least to pay for him.

Glad the Ronaldo – Ferguson – Mourinho Love fest is Over
Rivalry and what it brings out of people is a huge part of the popularity of sports and especially football, but the Real Madrid clash with Manchester United didn’t fully deliver because of the sudden love and admiration between Jose Mourinho, Alex Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo, taking the edge off of things.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney “Leaving” Not for the First Time
Maybe this time it’s really different, and getting benched a few hours before a very important match in the Champions League will be too much for Wayne Rooney and his ego to swallow, but recent Manchester United history is filled with incidents between Rooney and his manager which eventually only led to more league titles and new contracts.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Should Have Started
It’s hard to blame anyone but Nani for the way Manchester United found their way out of the Champions League so early in the competition, but for Alex Ferguson to be blaming the referee instead of himself for a weird decision like benching Wayne Rooney prior to the match is hypocrisy and simply fooling the fans and the public that follows.
