The last English manager discounting Michael Carrick ( caretaker from 21/11/2021 to 02/12/2021 ) was Ron Atkinson 1981 to 1986. Since 1889 to 1986 there have only been 12 English managers.

Finally they are all together again. Thanks for the memories, never will you be forgotten. R.I.P.

Just had a look at some stats., with regarding Rashford. ( Only concerns Premier League starts ) from season 2015 to present. In 9 seasons he has appeared in 195 games and scored 80 goals. So that gives him an average of 21.6 games per season together with and average of 8.8 goals...

My mistake then, a keeper with a very similar name and spelling. I do not have an agenda, but I do feel that he is not the goal keeper to take the team forward.

Well he has now managed to help Cameroon out of the Africa Cup of Nations. Looking at the match report, he allowed the first goal to slither under his body and the 2nd was again from a cross. So that in his 2 games he has faced 7 efforts on his goal and 5 have gone in. Does not inspire...

In the 145 years since the formation of Utd., there has been only 3 really successful managers. Mangnall, Busby ( His first period ) and Ferguson, who have won league titles and cups during their years of tenure. I believe that is because they had the ability to harness the strengths of the...

Duncan Edwards, he played in every position including goal keeper. A leader with a work ethic second to none and proven international who represented England from school boy level through to the senior team. A player that Sir Bobby said was the finest player he ever played with and...

Rashford will be 26 on the 31st October, been with the club since he was 7 years old, How much coaching does he need to improve his game, he should have known himself long ago his weak points and worked on them in training. His all round game is poor and if you look back over his previous...

He was a right footed player but he suffered an injury to his right foot, if I remember correctly due to the air crash, the club were so short of players and in order to play he hid the injury and strengthened his left foot by just striking a ball against a wall at OT., until he could use...

Had the pleasure of watching him grace OT., he was a very skillful and graceful player, but also a very humble person who also knew that representing Manchester United was not a right but an honour and privilege gained by hard work and dedication. How many players today walking through a...

if he does manage to get his deal through, it will be I believe mean that he will have 3 football clubs to financially support. As rich as he supposedly is that is a large financial commitment.

It will be interesting to see if the make up of the management board which consists of the Glazer brothers together with Arnold and Baty and the Board of Directors, consisting of 11 members 6 of which are Glazer family members, changes if Ratcliffe's share bid is successful. I think it...

Would be interesting if the board vote to reject his deal

SAF may have been ruthless with Taibi, but he was also ruthless with Jim Leighton who he openly blamed for the 3 3 draw in the Cup Final against Crystal Palace. Dropped him for the replay and JIm never played for utd again, if memory serves me correctly. Our present keeper appears to be...

Only Wolves and Burnley have conceded more goals than us in the league, I find this alarming even given our depleted squad. Should be an interesting game against Burnley on Saturday.
