Former Manchester United star Tim Howard has revealed what “incredibly clever” Roy Keane was like behind the scenes in the Old Trafford dressing room. Roy Keane took the captain’s armband at Manchester United after club legend Eric Cantona announced his retirement from football in 1997. The 52-year-old Irishman excelled as United skipper and was a leading locker-room figure during his legendary spell at Old Trafford. Keane, who is widely regarded as one of the best captains in Premier League history, captained United to an iconic treble win in the 1998-99 season. The Irishman was a linchpin mi...

Next for Manchester United is the visit of the red-hot Arsenal, less than a week after the 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace, change is needed. This weekend, Manchester United will welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford, and after seeing what Crystal Palace did to the makeshift defence on Monday, confidence is low. Taking on the league’s top scorers in the Gunners, things could end up going very wrong in this game should United approach it in the same way that the last game was approached. In order to avoid what could risk being an embarrassment, Erik ten Hag must change his ways and abandon the plan he’s h...

It’s the penultimate weekend of the Premier League season and Manchester United are taking on Arsenal, here’s our predicted lineup. After losing 4-0 to Crystal Palace on Monday, the last team Erik ten Hag would’ve wanted to have to face was the Premier League‘s top scorers. Manchester United will have to bounce back and put in a better display against a side who are pushing for the title and need to win here. Things aren’t being made easier by the ever-growing injury list at Carrington which has seen Mason Mount return to the absentees list this week. So with this in mind, how will Ten Hag lin...

Tim Howard believes that “one moment” perfectly ‘summed up’ former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane during the Irishman’s legendary spell at Old Trafford. The 45-year-old American spent part of his spell at Manchester United when Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane was captain at the Premier League club. Tim Howard left the United States in 2003 and arrived at Old Trafford as part of a £2.3m move from New York Red Bulls, formerly known as MetroStars. The ex-United and Everton shot-stopper lifted an FA Cup and a League Cup under legendary former Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Howard, who mad...

Ahead of Sunday’s visit to Old Trafford, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has been speaking about the Manchester United stadium. For Manchester United, the visit of Arsenal on Sunday is almost a lose-lose situation. Either the performance replicates what was seen on Monday and the Gunners blow United away or on the other hand, a win probably hands Man City the title. This season has been atrocious and many will be excited for it to end with little interest in how the league table ends up but instead focussing on the cup final.

Paul Robinson has given his verdict on the criticism Casemiro has received in the wake of his display against Crystal Palace. Manchester United put in perhaps their worst in a very long list of appalling performances this season when they were battered 4-0 by Crystal Palace on Monday. The team as a whole was dreadful with the defence as a unit getting ripped to shreds time and time again, so much so that the scoreline actually flattered Erik ten Hag’s team. But Casemiro in particular endured a terrible night and was directly responsible for at least two of the goals. The Brazilian – who has no...

If there’s still a Manchester United fan out there who is looking forward to watching their team play at the moment then they are braver than most. The majority of supporters no doubt can’t wait for this sorry season to end but there are four games to go before that and they aren’t getting much easier. Less than a week on from being humiliated 4-0 by Crystal Palace, Manchester United take on arch-rivals Arsenal on Sunday. If anything is going United’s way it’s that the Gunners tend to struggle at Old Trafford and the chance of derailing their chances of winning the title can serve as extra mot...

Don Hutchison believes there are plenty of managerial candidates that could ‘galvanise’ Manchester United but they might not be big enough names for the club. Erik ten Hag is hanging on to his job by the skin of his teeth as the flailing Dutchman hit a new nadir this past week. Manchester United’s dreary season sunk to a new low after they were trounced 4-0 by Crystal Palace on Monday. Michael Olise was the star of the show with two fine goals while Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mithcell also got on the score sheet. It was an unthinkable 13th loss of the Premier League season and if United l...

Ryan Giggs is the legendary former Welsh footballer who spent the majority of his professional playing career under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. A famous member of the ‘Class of ‘92,’ Ryan Giggs rose to prominence in the 1990s and was a faithful servant of legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The 50-year-old Manchester United legend was part of the Manchester City youth setup before the Red Devils drafted him into their youth academy. During his legendary career at Old Trafford, Giggs eclipsed Sir Bobby Charlton to become the United player with the most appearances in the clu...

Sir Alex Ferguson was not the most easy-going of individuals, it’s fair to say. The legendary Manchester United manager famously enjoyed the fruits of his labour very briefly indeed, turning his attention immediately to the next challenge, the next season, and the next piece of silverware. Even when the Red Devils claimed that remarkable treble in 1999 – winning the Premier League and the FA Cup before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer‘s dramatic late intervention at the Camp Nou – Ferguson’s champagne returned to the cupboard pretty quickly. And while his Man United charges did seize the chance to let the...
