Wayne Rooney argued with the ref, told him to do one then scored one of the greatest goals in Premier League history. I think there are so many who don't get just how talented he was, he was NINETEEN when he scored this goal.
Manchester City meanwhile, continue to march on their merry way being treated by the majority of media like a normal football club when they have 115 pending charges - with more to come - in what is the most outrageous cheating in English football history. Corruption wins.
This is not ok. Pep Guardiola is an arrogant, snarky narcissist who is escalating in this regard. A drug cheat as a player, continued as a manager & is now at Manchester City the biggest cheats in modern English football history.
His career is a house of cards waiting to tumble.
The video is more damning than a screenshot - how this has been reviewed & has not been a red card offence is utterly baffling. What are we even doing with VAR if not for things like this!?
Manchester United have played 8 games in the last 27 days (every 3.4 days). They'll now have a 3 day break before playing a confirmed run of 10 games in 32 days (3.2 days). That's 18 games in 59 days (3.3 days). That is ridiculous & frankly irresponsible scheduling.

A reminder Thomas Partey is on extended bail (now three times) for the alleged rape of two women. There is no reason at all he should be playing football. The disrespect & disregard for the women involved is disgusting. It is not about club allegiance, it is about what is right.
Roy Keane & Gary Neville are without doubt talking about Dr. Agricola & Juventus - who Juve brought back in 2017 btw - after he was jailed in 2004 for you guessed it, doping. Let's not forget Dr. Segura at Barcelona, too.
Doping is European football's dirty little secret.

Nemanja Vidić, signed by Manchester United for £7m in January 2006. 2x FIFPro World XI, 4x Premier League TOTY, 5x Titles, 1x CL.
Vidić is the best defender in Premier League history & the only defender to win PL POTY twice. This answer is easy, don't overthink it.

Nemanja Vidić scored 5 goals in 2010/11, you had 6 - as a forward. You were subbed after 74 mins 1st game, 75 in the 2nd. Manchester United celebrated their 19th title that day, it confirmed Blackpool's relegation. Vidić was Player of the Season. The photos speak for themselves.

Yesterday one of England's best football journalists Henry Winter was made redundant. Today, the Daily Mail is publishing a story about Kobbie Mainoo wearing a blue jacket out to dinner with his friends. That's it, that's literally the story.
The media industry is doomed.
What might have been!? Man United star Kobbie Mainoo spotted out for dinner with friends wearing a sky blue jacket, years after rivals Man City tried to poach the teenage midfielder
These are once-in-a-lifetime limbs. You can spend your lifetime following Manchester United winning multiple trophies from your sofa and never experience a moment like this. This right here is what it’s all about.
The next time a Manchester City fan mentions innocence etc, remind them there's pages upon pages to show otherwise. Here's a quick explainer on some of them.
1/ Like this which is rerouting money through multiple companies rather than direct via ADUG (Abu Dhabi United Group):
If that is anywhere else on the pitch that is called a foul. I don't know how Marcus Rashford hasn't been given a penalty there. Held back by one player, shoved by the other?
"We're the people's club.. apart from the fact most of our fans don't know more than a decade of our history, we're owned by a nation state as a sportswashing tool & we've cheated to get everything we have, outside of that though - people's club!"

Rasmus Højlund has scored 7 goals in his last 6 PL games, 20 games total. He also has 5 goals in 6 CL games, equal top scorer. Just turned 21, 1st season in England.
Darwin Núñez has 9 goals in 24 games, 2 in 6 EL. Turns 25 in June, 2nd season in England.
For the record, Shaun.
Wanting Manchester United - a club you claim to support - to lose to suit your own agenda, is the definition of plastic fandom. Support through thick & thin, ride the lows & the tough times - so when the highs come you truly relish them.
Did you get the attention you ordered?
Jadon Sancho acting like he's Michael Jordan when he returns to Borussia Dortmund on the smallest commitment possible - no option to buy, 6 months only & Manchester United paying the majority of his wages is the most tone deaf, Sancho-esque moment yet.
Good riddance.

Bruno Fernandes leads chance creation in the Premier League for 4th time in five seasons. He's been one of the best players in the world for the entire 2020's. He has carried Manchester United, he deserves admiration & respect.
Don't take him for granted, a brilliant footballer.
140 - Bruno Fernandes has created 140 chances in all competitions this season, the most of any player in Europe's big-five leagues. He's created 18 chances in his last two games alone (9 vs Coventry, 9 vs Sheffield United). Craftsman.
Saw someone legitimately say Pep Guardiola is a better manager than Sir Alex Ferguson. Talk to me when you build a club with natural resources & reinvent yourself constantly, win 13 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups, 2 UCL's & 38 trophies overall.
Never disrespect the GOAT.
I will always go to war for Bruno Fernandes because I know how much it means to him. He can be petty, petulant, he's not perfect but he loves Manchester United & is as competitive as you will find. Don't pretend he isn't giving it everything or that he doesn't care at all.

Pep's 'legacy' is cheating: testing 6 times the legal limit for Nandrolone (twice), links with doping doctors Ramon Sagura & Luis Garcia del Moral, that clinic in Barcelona which City players still attend but Bayern didn't allow.
Pep's exposé would be called 115 Reasons Why.
Don’t get me wrong, he is already the GOAT manager by a large distance.
But Pep Guardiola’s GOAT legacy will become absolutely untouchable for the eternity if he wins the treble twice in a row.
KD on the court talking about the non-call on LeBron: "He's too big. He's too big. He's too big for that. He's too big. That ain't no foul."
... What? Can KD just cut this tough guy act now that he's always got Draymond with him? It's just lame.
Roy Keane:
- Captained Treble winners in his prime & was the best CM in the PL for over a decade
- Premier League & English Football Hall of Famer, 5x TOTY, PFA Team of the Century, FWA & Players' Player of the Year, European TOTY
- Chosen by Pelé in 2004 in the FIFA 100 as
The funny thing about Roy Keane calling Erling Haaland a League 2 player is that he’s actually the League 2 player not Haaland. No technique, just passion, breaking players legs, red cards and inshallah
Ollie Holt just compared Jarell Quansah - who misplaced the pass for Bruno Fernandes goal - to Roy Keane's 1999 UEFA Champions League Semi Final display vs Juventus, which is one of the greatest individual performances we have seen.
I am speechless, I am without speech.

Jürgen Klopp is such a petulant, small, arrogant man, revealing his true colours. Classless. Appalling way to treat a reporter unprovoked. There is no defending this crap, I'll never have a Liverpool fan tell me anything about Bruno Fernandes or anyone at Manchester United again.
Alejandro Garnacho & Bruno Fernandes both played with injuries today, played the full 120 minutes & went right until the end. Manchester United are incredibly lucky to have both of them. Talent, work rate & leadership.

That is a red card offence from Joe Gomez. Leaves the ground, studs up, hip checks Aaron Wan-Bissaka IN THE FACE. Jurgen Klopp shakes his head at the yellow, because somehow he could spin the narrative that AWB nearly broke Gomez's hip.
Jesse Lingard has more Premier League goals this season than Kevin De Bruyne, Son Heung-Min, Leroy Sané, Christian Eriksen, Eden Hazard, Sadio Mané, Dele Alli.
All of those players have played more minutes than him, yet scored less.
Nobody seems to be talking about the fact Kyle Walker's leg clips Marcus Rashford. Combined with the pull on his arm, soft or not, that is a foul. VAR again, not fit for purpose.
Gabby Agbonlahor has made his name as a pundit slagging off anything about Manchester United, past & present. It is fitting that they have subsequently broken his heart twice this season, just like they did when he was a player.

A Manchester City acc saying this amidst 115 pending charges in England's biggest cheating scandal of the 21st century is next level lack of self-awareness.
FYI: Bellamy's time wasting allowed Michael Owen to score at 95:20. It's why it's called as 'A MINIMUM of x added minutes'
You have to admire the generosity of the Manchester City & Newcastle United directors working for free. Absolutely no correlation whatsoever between sportswashing projects & doing things in a shady, corrupt fashion.
Nothing to see here.
Premier League highest paid directors (figures 2021/22 unless says otherwise). I don't think there is such as wide range in any other industry at such a high level.
Manchester City pre-2008: no trophies since 1969. It isn't they 'have no history' - it's that their success is bought & paid for through two decades of financial doping, forever stained by the 115 pending charges & all the asterisks alongside them.
You support corrupt cheats.
Alexis Sánchez: £14m a year - £270k a week.
Paul Pogba: £275k a week, Manchester United's top earner. David De Gea's new deal will likely be in this range.
Don't pay attention to stupid headlines & rumours. They are just to generate clicks & negative narrative. What a signing.
Paul Pogba is now level with Kevin De Bruyne & Leroy Sané with 9 assists to lead the Premier League, despite the fact Pogba has missed 10 weeks of the season with a hamstring injury. He's on another level.
Alexis Sánchez could've picked up a £30m signing bonus with Manchester City in July alongside a wage worth £280k per week, instead he chose a similar base salary at MUFC & a signing bonus 6 times less (approx. £5 million).
But yeah, it's all about money at Manchester United!
Perfection from

- explaining sportswashing in action & financial doping, then Manchester City fan 'Big Steve' does the classic strawman argument of 'are you a lawyer' & cheap shots about the Glazers. There is no way to defend it, that's why their fans act like this.
Since Newcastle signed Alan Shearer in 1996, Manchester United have won: 10x Premier League, 3x FA Cup, 5x EFL Cup, 2x Champions League, 1x Europa League, 1x Club World Cup.
Newcastle United: 1x Intertoto Cup
Yep, it ruined us mate.
Manchester City - the biggest cheats in modern football history, are threatening legal action with their financial & political power to prevent fair & reasonable reform to prevent more financial doping & artificially inflated revenues.
Their arrogance at this point is shameless.
EXCLUSIVE: A Premier League club - thought to be Manchester City - is threatening to bring a legal challenge to prevent the adoption of reforms to rules governing associated party transactions aimed at ensuring fairer commercial deals in the top flight.
I'm a Contract Management Specialist by trade. Criminality around a signed contract would void that agreement in its entirety, also superseding the previous deal & that'd make Frenkie de Jong a free agent. Attempting to make him revert terms would be fraud on Barcelona's part.

The hatred between Manchester United & Arsenal was different. It is the greatest sustained rivalry the Premier League has ever seen & it was a true rivalry where spoils were shared.
Sir Alex & Arsene's animosity was fierce, Wright vs Schmeichel early days, Keane vs Vieira's
🗣️ Gary Neville: "I mean Carragher’s statement that Liverpool vs Man City is the greatest rivalry is offensive."
"From 98 to 2004 Arsenal won three titles, Man United won four. It was blood, thunder, quality. Everything you would want in a rival."
"In the last six years,
Against Liverpool in the 4-3 FA Cup win, Bruno Fernandes was on one leg, cramping up severely - he did everything he could to help his team, giving his team quite literally all that he had because he knew that was required.

If that is anywhere else on the pitch that is called a foul. I don't know how Marcus Rashford hasn't been given a penalty there. Held back by one player, shoved by the other?

Manchester United have no desire to be a sportswashing project, a club whose achievements are clouded by the most scandalous cheating we have seen in modern football & a manager whose career is shrouded in either financial or actual doping.
Bitter like lemons, you lot.

Marcus Rashford played with a broken back for Ole. Ole said Scott McTominay was one of the players trusted to give 100% every time.
Ole also said players were not in the headspace to play because they knew he'd be sacked. If that doesn't make them "United through & through"...

Samuel Luckhurst writes the exact same story every single time, first chance he twists the knife. He can't help himself because he knows negative stories drive clicks & content. Embarrassing 'journalism'. Erik ten Hag should ignore him in his next presser to make a point.

🚨🇳🇱 A number of Manchester United players are starting to grow weary of Erik ten Hag's criticism. Dressing room sources have said that some players believe Ten Hag has favourites in the squad who he is unprepared to single out for criticism, while they feel others are routinely
Well Erik ten Hag only gave Jadon Sancho three months away when he was struggling with physical & mental issues, then slowly integrated him afterwards. That was why the fallout was so significant when Sancho threw it back in his face.
Stop with false narratives & revisionism.
Manchester United are apparently a disgrace & ruining football, buying a player they can afford, using revenue no other club can match, whilst they also have the lowest wage to turnover ratio of any top football club.
Real disgrace, huh.
Newcastle United do not get to take any moral high ground here after they poached Dan Ashworth from Brighton in the EXACT same circumstances in February 2022 - to which they had protracted negotiations for months after baulking at the £5m compensation.
