Scholes was carried off after 16 minutes of Tuesday's Champions League match away to Aalborg following a tackle by Thomas Augustinussen. The 33-year-old is expected to sit out up to 15 matches and he could struggle to play again in 2008. It is a major blow for United's already depleted midfield.

Ronaldo won and converted a disputed penalty on 60 minutes to score his first league goal of the season, before Rooney arrived from the substitutes' bench to seal victory with an exquisite finish late on. The result represented only United's second win in five Premier League matches, and the first time Sir Alex Ferguson's team have [. Click to continue reading...

Following in the footsteps of last season's emphatic success was never going to be easy, nor was it ever guaranteed. However, those of a Manchester United disposition could be forgiven for perhaps expecting a little more in the opening games of the new season. This season's early uncertainty culminated in last weekend's frustrating loss to Liverpool, a result which subsequently puts even greater emphasis on the trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but just why haven't things gone quite to plan for the European Champions on the pitch so far this season?

United's starting eleven was: Van der Sar Neville, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Park, Fletcher, Hargreaves, Nani Rooney, Tevez Suprisingly, no Vidic, Brown or Giggs United had a great opportunity in the 9th minute from the first corner kick in the match.

In Wednesday's World Cup qualifier England dismantled a strong Croatian side. Wayne Rooney provided Theo Walcott with 2 superb balls which Theo converted and also netted a goal himself. The match was not expected to be so lopsided after Croatia showed extremely well in Euro 08. Croatia went undefeated in their group before being eliminated in [. Click to continue reading...

Looking forward to seeing how Manchester United employ new signing Dimitar Berbatov this weekend versus Liverpool, or better yet, who gets the hook up front: Wayne Rooney or Carlos Tevez. While Rooney may need a breather after playing for England the past couple of weeks, I don't see how Sir Alex Ferguson can leave out [. Click to continue reading...

There is a reason why Manchester United have been the dominant team in England throughout the 1990's and 2000's, its because they have Alex Ferguson as their manager. Great players have come and gone, but the one constant has been Ferguson and that's because he always puts together a great squad full of top class players. Click to continue reading...

I was looking around the Manchester United message boards this morning and I cannot believe what I was reading, some Manchester United fans (if you can call them that) have turned on Rooney. Ok,...

Before Sundays match with Newcastle, I had never seen Fraizer Campbell play. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. Ok, so he didn't score, but he created some of the best chances. His header in the 8th minute came off the face of Newcastle keeper Shay Given, with a little good luck Fraizer Campbell [. Click to continue reading...

Martin Samuel from the London Times writes about how England are lacking in quality forwards and I agree with him. Wayne Rooney can't carry the team upfront by himself, and he really does seem to be more of a setup man then an out and out finisher. With Michael Owen not being fit again, I think Fabio Capello needs to look at either Jermain Defoe or Darren Bent. Click to continue reading...

United 2008/09 Season Preview

How time flies. It doesn't seem like two weeks ago Edwin and Giggsy were hoisting the European Cup skywards after one of the most fiercely contested Champions League finals in recent years. After the euphoric celebrations began to slowly die down, the subsequent Cristiano Ronaldo will-he-wont-he-who-bloody-cares transfer saga took center stage, and provided enough monotony for even the most gullible of Sun readers to fall into a coma as a direct result of tedium.

Is Carlos Tevez really worth the supposed £35 million transfer fee as reported in the London Times? Manchester United seem to think so, but I think thats a bit much. It would break the British transfer record of £30 million that Chelsea paid for Andrei Shevchenko. Is Tevez really the best forward in Britain? Click to continue reading...

A goal in each half saw Manchester United start their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 win at Aberdeen.

Wayne Rooney's honeymoon in Las Vegas, in the daylight hours at least, seems to consist of endless hours of the newlywed slowly poaching in the hotel swimming pool like a big pink salmon, whilst drinking beer and smoking ciggies.

It seems rather anti-climatic, considering that the pair have been together for years. But today was finally the day.

Just when it appeared that Tottenham had seen off the many potential suitors of Dimitar Berbatov, along come Manchester United, rearing their undeniably ugly head.

What an impact the little Argentine has made in the Premier League since signing for West Ham.

Let's face it, a leopard can't change its spots. There seems little point trying to remove the aggression from Wayne Rooney's game for fear of making him half the player he is.
