Match Report: Schalke 0 United 2

 Players Celebrating after Giggs Goal.  Make no mistake, this was as accomplished a Champions League semi-final performance you could wish to see as United had Schalke chasing shadows in a comprehensive 2-0 victory. There's still a second leg to come before the manager and anybody else will be thinking of planning for Wembley but, in truth, only Manuel Neuer's brilliance saved his side from an embarrassing scoreline. Neuer defied United virtually single-handedly before two quickfire goals - by Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney - ensured justice was done. Rooney was the provider for Giggs' opener and then found the net himself after...

Match Report: United 0 Newcastle 0

United moved seven points clear at the Barclays Premier League summit but will feel aggrieved not to have put the other title-race contenders under maximum pressure after a dramatic end to this testing clash with Newcastle. It's all about fine margins and when Javier Hernandez was felled by former Reds right-back Danny Simpson inside the box in injury time, virtually everybody in St James' Park felt a penalty had been given. Instead, referee Lee Probert cautioned Chicharito for diving, much to the visitors' frustration and bitter disappointment. The best chances from open play earlier fell to strike partners Hernandez and Rooney...

Apart from the Marathon, and a game between Arsenal and Liverpool, Wembley will take centre stage as bitter Mancunian rivals United, and City take their fight outside Manchester for the first time ever. Intrigue is written all over this game, and one can tell the difference could boil down to the narrowest of margins.  The last time these teams met in this competition was in February 2004, when United ran out 4-2 winners, Garry Neville seeing red and Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo starring. That was a very long time ago though. Since then, City have changed stadiums and undergone a revolution,...

Report: Manchester United 2 Chelsea 1

Wembley is within reach. Only FC Schalke or Internazionale stand in Manchester United's way of a fifth European Cup final appearance – and a second on home soil – after the Reds beat Chelsea 2-1 (3-1 on aggregate) at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.There were nervy moments, sure, but United were never put under the sort of sustained pressure that was required to crack a Reds side that has looked so solid in Europe this season. Javier Hernandez put the home side in front just before the interval before Chelsea's Ramires saw red for a second bookable offence 20 minutes from time. That appeared to extinquish any hopes the Blues had of reaching...

Why Sneijder Can Be A Ideal Signing?

United are continuosly reported to be linked with Inter star Wesley Sneijder. Sneijder being on great form of footballing action can provide United the missing charm. We have pointed out why Sneijder can be a ideal signing. 1. Lack of United Factor: With current young midfielder's lacking the United factor on the middle to supply enough balls to the front, Sneijder can be the man to bring back the old United factor. The Dutch man is in his peak form of footballing action and has enough expierence to hold on the demand of the United mid. With better skills and goal scoring ability from the front he can be a great signing for United. 2....

Manchester United vs Fulham Betting Preview

Manchester United face Fulham at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday and are heavily fancied by the bookies to strengthen their position at the top of the table. United can be backed for the win at best odds of 1/2 (bet $2 to win $1 profit) with Betfair, while most bookies offer 4/9 or 2/5. That looks an attractive price to us as while Fulham have been in great form at Craven Cottage of late they’ve failed to shine away from home for some time now – drawing three and losing two from their last five on the road. Couple that with United’s devastating home form this season (fourteen wins, one draw, no losses) and the fact they outplayed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night and odds of 1/2 for a United win appeal. Bookie's are favoring us to win, fans want us to win, and more...

United injury news improving

Manchester United's injury list is reducing at the ideal time with defenders Wes Brown and John O'Shea and midfielder Anderson all available to face Fulham at Old Trafford. The return of this trio will give Sir Alex Ferguson invaluable options as he endeavours to pick two winning teams in the space of four days - a line-up to conquer Mark Hughes' side in the league and then a selection to see off Chelsea in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. That said, the manager will have to make his plans without right-back Rafael for the Fulham match while Darren Fletcher is still overcoming the effects of a virus. Meanwhile, Wayne...
