It’s been a tough old month for the Man United squad so it was good to see them enjoying a break from the pressures at the top of the table (or the middle of the table) as they saw in the new year. While Chris Smalling was out partying with his girlfriend wearing matching green […]

There are few better ways to bring in the new year than with a healthy payday from a winning bet. And this as-yet-unconfirmed accumulator is quite remarkable by anyone’s standards.

Manchester United were held to a 0-0 draw by Chelsea at Old Trafford, but delivered a somewhat improved performance for their beleaguered boss Louis van Gaal. There was talk before the game that the Dutchman may hand in his resignation following a disastrous run of results, but the team certainly looked like they were still playing for the manager. […]

You have to feel for Aston Villa fans (unless you’re a Birmingham supporter, of course). The club’s decline over the past few seasons has been so relentless that relegation this year always looked inevitable. And the team’s performances on the pitch have done little to change that view. Villa suffered their 13th defeat of the campaign […]

If transfer gossip is to be believed, Harry Kane is high on Manchester United’s shortlist of attacking targets as they look to strengthen in the January transfer window.
