Carlos Queiroz's second stint at United ended yesterday officially as he took up the top job as Portugal's coach. It remains to be seen, however, if United are looking to get a replacement manager from abroad or just looking to promote personnel from within the club's coaching hierarchy. So let's spend a little while talking on [. Click to continue reading...

I don't want to write another tiresome article on Ronaldo. But the lad seems to have a knack of staying in the news. I'll keep it short to save you the trouble. For the others, I'd recommend poring over the comments from yesterday, if you want to see people displaying hurt sentiments. I personally stopped caring many [. Click to continue reading...

This was written several hours before the time indicated against the article so there is a chance that one of my questions could already have been answered by the time you are reading this. So bear with me. Let's play a game folks. It's not a game really, but still, humour me on this one. Not [...]SHARETHIS. Click to continue reading...

Three days have passed since the Euros got over. We haven't signed anyone. Doom, gloom and hearts stopping left, right and centre. People are dying. Wayne Rooney is partying in Vegas with his newly married wife with the likes of Le Bron James in tow. Fergie's giving interviews over a game of golf. Ronaldo is [. Click to continue reading...

Carlos Queiroz has been linked with the Portugal job since Scolari quit, and for good reason too; he's done a great job at United and won over a lot of fans with time. The man himself has been coy over his future refusing to speak anything, citing the now popular excuse with the Man United [...]SHARETHIS. Click to continue reading...

Yesterday's major point of debate was on right backs; at least that was the idea. There was a point raised in the comments that rang true to me when I read it, so I decided to put it up for debate. United were indebted to the lung busting runs of Patrice Evra who has [...] Click to continue reading...

Sir Alex has recently said that Real Madrid has no moral issues whatsoever when it comes to approaching other players. If you want to read the whole thing click here [there is also a video excerpt of Fergie's press conference, for the same, in that page]. I touched upon Ronaldo's "will he wont he" routine very [.

The PFA Awards Shortlist is out. Those who haven't seen it yet here's the list. Have a look at it first. PFA player of the year: Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal) Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) Fernando Torres (Liverpool) David James (Portsmouth) PFA young player of the year Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) Fernando Torres (Liverpool) Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa) Ashley Young (Aston [.

Manchester United have been, for several years now, circumspect in Europe (ponderous and over-cautious if you want to be picky about it). It's not something the fans enjoy, but it is a combination of Fergie's choices and how our players perform (both are equally responsible), so we have to come to terms with it.

We are finally past our Lyon hangover, or so I would like to believe, and we can now look forward to our game against Newcastle in the weekend. We will get a preview in, prior to the match, but till then we will fill you with your daily dose of United related news, and a [...] Click to continue reading...

We had seen Tevez say this earlier. He holds his home club, Boca Juniors, extremely close to his heart. So much that he would love to come back and play there at an age where he's still young enough, unlike his other compatriots for whom a return would be more like a retirement home. His feelings [..

Right off the bat, allow me to apologize for the lack of updates to this blog. What started out as my launching pad into soccer journalism has evolved into a showcase for my work on Revsnet.com, and the occasional informal mini-diatribe about global and local soccer.

Now, since my start at Revsnet, I've been trying to introduce some fresh flavors to this blog in the hopes of keeping it flavorful (that is, if journalism can actually entice a sense of taste upon one's tastebuds). Click to continue reading...

... so should we idiot proof Old Trafford, then? Wouldn't be too easy, I suspect. Anyway the Guardian reports that members of Man City's supporters' club have written a letter to Manchester United to call off the planned one minute silence because they fear that the minute's silence could be disrupted by some nutty people from [.

Now this is in no way related to Man Utd from a purely news point of view. But long timers would never forget the history that accompanies this remarriage with an old foe if we could call him that. Kevin Keegan has overseen the best period of Newcastle's recent history, but he's also been [...] Click to continue reading...

Darren Fletcher has quashed reports that he will be moving to another club during the January window. He seems as determined as ever to fight his way back into the team. "I never heard anything about Birmingham being interested, I just know I want to be here for a long time. My only focus is on [...] Click to continue reading...

Well it's that time of the year again. And with January comes the transfer market where a lot of big talking goes along but not much actually happens! Anyway, I noticed a lot of talk going on in the past few posts so I decided to make one on that subject. I shall cover all [...] Click to continue reading...

So while I saw this earlier in the morning in the Lancashire Evening Post (irony?) I was holding off till I got to hear something more official. Well, here it is now as a spokesperson from Manutd.com confirms the news. As we know his first scan was inconclusive he was sent for a second scan, the [...] Click to continue reading...

I will get the Roma preview out later in the day, hopefully. In the meantime, I will take a little time out and bring up the dreaded question that's been on a lot of our minds: Is Owen Hargreaves Our New Mr Glass? Or, in other words, Have we signed an expensive crock? So what I [...] Click to continue reading...

Report will follow tomorrow. Meanwhile you could discuss here. Opinions, rants, cheers and things like that welcome. I am off to enjoy the last moments of the Sunday before I write the match report. Discuss away. Click to continue reading...

Today we start a new section at Red Rants. It is in an effort to make it a little more interactive. I know our comment threads are robust enough and will continue to be so. But, starting from today, from time to time we will feature posts that just puts forward some questions to which [...] Click to continue reading...
