Whether we like it or not, the dark arts are big aspect of the modern game and sure, I'd love if it we were just honest and played the game in the right spirit but that's not how football is anymore. Time and time again our players show a naivety and it costs us in key moments. I'm not...

I'm not convinced all the blame for Fred's red card should be placed firmly at the managers door. The player himself needs to take some responsibility. Fred is 27, he's played over 50 games in European competitions, he should have enough experience to see Paredes is trying to wind him up.

Of course we can! We are capable of beating anyone on our day, the trouble at the moment is we are having plenty of 'off days'. That said, if we took our chances last night, we'd have won and the last game would be a mere formality so I'm not quite sure why there's so much negativity kicking...

It's the oldest adage in football but when you miss your chances, it will come back to bite you. It goes without saying that a few of our lads got dragged into PSG's antics but we should have had enough experience out there for calmer heads to prevail. With the benefit of hindsight, Fred should...

Quite fancy us tonight. Either start off defensively and try and contain them and catch them on the counter or we try and come out of the blocks quick and get off the mark early.

Maguire. I'm sure people think he should be as good as Rio on the ball and have Vidic's ruthless defensive abilities.

The league is so interesting this year, it's wide open and I can't see any one team being able to run away with the league this year. I think we've been wildly inconsistent so far but most teams have been patchy so far. We're certainly capable of putting a run together and being right up there...

Watching the derby a few years ago with Wes Brown and his brothers in a pub in Gorton or Chris Eagles lying to me about still being a United player.

I'd agree with Maguire, gets a lot of stick but when he's available he's probably the second or third name on the team sheet.

Ole was one of the players that made me really fall in love with football. He was unfortunate with injuries and when we played two up top, I don't think he ever fully formed a partnership with anyone the way Cole and Yorke did but he's certainly in the conversation when it comes to great...

What I love about Cavani is his movement, even if he's not directly attacking the cross he's darting across the front/near post and dragging defenders out with him. And then obviously his finishing ability is class when he does get the opportunity. Really impressed so far, think he could be the...

Comebacks and late goals are and always will be my absolute favourite. That game against City in 2018 was one of the best I've seen in person, as soon as we got a goal back I just got a sense that we would win it. Always feels good beating them but doing it from 2 goals down and in game where...

Home games when we're allowed to go, I usually sulk my way into a pub and then console myself and by the time i'm home i'm over it, away games/when I'm watching on TV, I turn it off immediately at full time because the punditry drives me insane and avoid the internet until such a time that it's...

I thought Ighalo started off quite well and as a rotation option was a decent choice but Ole seems to lack trust in him to come on and change a game. Finding a striker who's good enough to be a reliable impact sub and also happy to play second fiddle is like finding a needle in a haystack! I...

In my opinion the United hierarchy heard the phrase 'Football is a business' and decided to take it literally and run the club as a business. Investment alone doesn't equate to success, it has to smart, calculated investment.
