A fan blog obsessed with anything related to the Red Devils.
According to rumours in the European and British press Manchester United have reportedly completed a deal to bring Benfica’s Argentine centre-back Ezequiel Garay to Old Trafford next season.
The former Real Madrid defender has impressed with the Portuguese giants getting his career back on track in Lisbon after arriving in 2011 after an unfortunate two-year spell in Spain.
Watching us play over the last fortnight or so starting from the disastrous night in Europe against Real Madrid to our unconvincing 1-0 win over managerless Reading at home has caused me stress which is typical in the business end of the season when supporting Manchester United.
But the thing I have been wondering over that time is why exactly is Robin van Persie starting for us?
You put your centre half in, your centre half out, your centre half in and you shake him all about, you do the Rio cokey and you turn around, that’s what it’s all about.
This seems to be the strategy adopted by Roy Hodgson over Rio-gate, the latest in the saga following the badly handled Terry situation.
At the weekend Manchester United faced one of their Top 4 rivals in Chelsea in the FA Cup at Old Trafford. The last time these teams met it was United who triumphed 3-2 after a thrilling match at Stamford Bridge.

As the buzzards gathered to pick clean the bones of the Rooney-Ferguson relationship last Tuesday night, it was appropriate and slightly poetic that the Buzzcocks rendition of ‘should I stay or should I go ?’ belted out over the Old Trafford loudspeaker before the team was announced, devoid of Wayne.

Manchester United have done pretty well this season. The early parts were rather wobbly but performances over the past 3 odd months have seen them move way ahead in the Premier League title race. Here, let us see at which places can the squad be improved and who can be brought in for that!

Last Tuesday night I witnessed one of the best games I have ever seen in European Football as we were 1-0 up against Real Madrid, the 9 times winners of this illustrious competition and leading 2-1 on aggregate.
We were really in the ascendancy to push on and increase our lead to spearhead our charge of getting into the last eight of Europe’s elite club competition.
Come Sunday Robin van Persie wouldn’t have scored for exactly 4 weeks since we played and beat Everton 2-0 at home. His recent form is a bit of a weird one for me because since that game he has been firing complete blanks even though he has only played two lots of full 90 minutes both against Real Madrid.

Now, where do I start? What should have been a memorable night for the fantastic football on show, two European giants at the top of their game, will be ultimately remembered for a flick of the boot and a flash of red.

The 2nd March 1991 is a day that will forever have a place in the hearts of every Manchester United fan.
On this day 22 years ago, Ryan Giggs made his Premier League debut, and the legacy of one of the greatest players of the Premier League era began.
Gareth Bale seemingly is etching his name ever so closely to becoming a truly great player. In American sports the player of the year in a league gets the MVP (most valuable player) award.
In England this award is called the ‘player of the year’ award. When I think about who should win the Premier League’s award, two players come to mind. Bale and Manchester United’s very own Robin van Persie.
So Manchester United’s route to repeating 1999 now includes Chelsea in the Cup, Real Madrid in Europe and Manchester City in the League. Winning will involve dispatching the Premier League and La Liga Champions and the European Champions, a pretty tough ask – on paper.
