United Eke Out Rare Away Win On Emotional Day In Belgrade

October 24, 2019 5:09 pm
Manchester United made an emotional return to Belgrade on Thursday and, after a ceremony to remember the ‘Busby Babes’, eked out a first away win since March, 1-0, over Partizan.

Anthony Martial scored the only goal of the Europa League Group L game with a penalty kick after 43 minutes, but the hosts had eight strikes on target to just three by United.

The game marked the return to the ground where Matt Busby’s famous team of talented youngsters played their last game, a European Cup quarter-final against Red Star in February 1958.

Schumer and Cotton suggested that TikTok’s owner ByteDance could be forced to share user information with Chinese intelligence.

Bad Performance Might Cost Manchester United £400m Deal

Bad Performance Might Cost Manchester United £400m Deal

October 11, 2019 1:22 pm

It has become desperately pertinent for Manchester United to begin a search for new shirt sponsor as Chevrolet is highly unlikely to renew their deal while the club continues to struggle on the field of play.

The American car manufacturer signed a staggering £410million agreement in 2012, when Sir Alex Ferguson was at the helm and United were consistently challenging for top honors. The seven-year deal came into play in 2014. In the time United have displayed the Chevrolet brand on their shirts, they have failed to win the Premier League title and come nowhere near lifting the Champions League.…

Manchester United And Arsenal EPL Clash Ends In 1-1 Draw

October 2, 2019 3:56 pm

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Arsenal on Monday in a Premier League game which was a poor imitation of some of the past clashes between the clubs.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 58th minute goal, given after VAR review, cancelled out Scott McTominay’s well-struck opener on the stroke of halftime, but it was a game which highlighted the weaknesses of the two teams.

The result leaves United in 10th place with just nine points, their worst start after seven games for 30 years and they have won just one of their last six league games.
