Neville thinks United’s inconsistency is hurting them

Published / by index

The last couple of games in the premiership haven’t been great for Manchester United from the results’ point of view. First of all, they visited the Etihad Stadium ahead of the international break and received an absolute thumping at the hands of City and then they had to remain satisfied with just one point playing at home against a struggling Palace side which had not won any games for the last 9 weeks and was not too far away from the relegation zone.

It was as poor a result for United as they got at City even though it was not a defeat. Playing at home against a side like Palace which has much inferior resources and which doesn’t have any momentum coming into the game and not to be able to win, it’s a seriously poor result.

Ryan Giggs Compares Marcus Rashford with Thierry Henry

Published / by index

Former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs claims that Marcus Rashford will be able to emulate the achievements of Thierry Henry at Arsenal.


The Frenchman is regarded as one of the greatest strikers in the history of the Premier league, and he is the record goalscorer for Arsenal. A number of players have been compared with the Arsenal great, and Marcus Rashford is amongst the latest. Manchester United also have another player in the ranks who is similar toHenry – Anthony Martial. Yet, the failings ofMartial in the last few years has led to suggestions that Rashford will be the player capable of stepping into the shoes of Henry.

Giggs has played with Henry on numerous occasions and he has given the highest possible praise for Rashford, who recently scored in the 2-0 win over Leicester City. Even though he has been overshadowed since the arrival of big-money signings like Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic, the goal against Leicester City once again demonstrated the importance of Rashford, who is one of the last major players to come from the youth set up at Manchester United. One of the reasons for Rashford being compared with Henry is the use of his services in a wide role rather than in a central position. Henry scored most of his goals from this position.

Published / by index

When Sir Alex Ferguson came to know that Jonny Evans was going to West Bromwich Albion, he found it hard to believe as he had thought that the Irish defender’s career would finish at Old Trafford or if not that, he would leave only one or two seasons before retiring, but, much to the surprise of the legendary coach, Evans left with substantial amount of Football still left in him.


Sir Alex didn’t make any public statement regarding Evans’ departure, but, Michael O’Neill who coaches Evans at the international level has recently disclosed that last year when Sir Alex met him at an event organised for the coaches, the Scot told him that the decision of the United management of letting Evans go caught him by extreme surprise.

Jose Mourinho is happy for Wenger despite losing to Arsenal

Published / by index

This debut season of Jose Mourinho as the head coach of Manchester United is certainly not going how the Portuguese manager wanted it to, as the Red Devils are not going to become the new champions of England and will not be securing the 2nd spot either as the table toppers Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are just too far ahead.


Manchester United was also knocked out of the FA Cup competition after losing against Chelsea in the quarter-finals as they faced off on March 13.

Even though Jose Mourinho has lifted the FA Community Shield and the EFL Cup in his 1st season in charge of Manchester United, this season is still widely considered to be an underwhelming one as the bigger competitions such as the Premier League and the FA Cup has been a completely different story.

Paul Pogba has been a huge disappointment as the French youngster has only scored 4 league goals in 29 Premier League appearances which is extremely unsatisfying for a player that cost Manchester United £89.3 million and ZlatanIbrahimovic picked up an injury that will be leaving him out of the pitch for 8 months.
