The Devil's Den

Manchester United come into the game in top form, having not lost their last 19 games in all competitions, with the previous seven being victories. The red devils are currently second in the league and are set to qualify for the Champions League quite comfortably next season. Key to all proceedings this season has been the Portuguese magnifico - Bruno Fernandes, who has been in sensational form this season, averaging a goal involvement per game. Manchester United will be looking to capitalize on this recent form, and a win against Burnley will further cement their place as the second-best team in England at this moment in time. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will also be looking to break the Burnley jinx, whose record at Old Trafford in the past five years has been exemplary.  Sean Dyche's men, on the other hand, will be looking to stay up in England's top tier as they are currently 7 points off 17th placed Fulham with a game in hand. They are unlikely to get relegated, but as long as t...

Manchester United beat West Ham 1-0 Manchester United won their home game against West Ham to go 2nd in the Premier League table on Sunday night. A Craig Dawson own goal in the 53' from a Bruno Fernandes corner kick sealed the win for The Red Devils against The Hammers. Having avoided conceding a goal, we attained a 4th clean sheet in a row in the league, the first time they have achieved that under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. West Ham never really threatened Dean Henderson until the introduction of Said Benharama. Though they did try to break the fort, MUFC defence stood tall and strong. Antonio and Bowen were West Ham's biggest threats but were kept quiet by our backline [via Sky Sports] Both sides started the game energetically with West Ham winning a corner in the first few minutes. West Ham seemed happy with United having most of the possession. David Moyes' game plan was to sit back and hit United at the break with the pace of Antonio and Bowen. United had 61% possession ...

  Manchester United face West Ham tonight! TRIVIA Venue - Old Trafford Kickoff - Sunday, March 15, 00:45 IST Manchester United have been hit and miss so far this season. The team's form has been highly inconsistent. You never know which Manchester United is going to turn up. On their day, they can beat the best team in England i.e Manchester City and also be the team that loses to the bottom of the league team (in this case Sheffield United). The Red Devils are too reliant on certain players and that could backfire in big matches. Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw have been outstanding this season while there have been many average performances too by the likes of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof. It will be interesting to see which Manchester United turns up against The Hammers . As for West Ham United, David Moyes has brought them to a place where no one would have ever believed was possible. Moyes was odds on favourite to be sacked after 10 games after West Ham were handed a...

TRIVIA Venue - Etihad Stadium Kickoff - Sunday, March 7, 22:00 GMT Manchester United have been hit and miss so far this season. The team's form has been highly inconsistent. You never know which Manchester United is going to turn up. Having not scored in more than 5 hours of football, the Red Devils will be desperate to put their scoring woes to bed once and for all. The bigger question however will be raised of their defensive capabilities against a Manchester City side who have found their mojo back. Bruno Fernandes will be key for the Red Devils if they want to challenge for the title instead of resigning to the fact that the noisy neighbours will be heading for their 5th English crown. As for Manchester City , the team is brimming with confidence. Ruben Dias and John Stones have together solved the defensive woes that plagued their side last year and they will be looking to keep up their good attacking form too. Kevin de Bruyne will be key for the Mancunian rivals as they wil...

Dan James' upturn in form is certainly a welcome return [Image Courtesy of Manchester United] Manchester United finally put their Premier League woes behind them after a comfortable 3 - 1 win against Newcastle as we saw Marcus Rashford, Daniel James, and Bruno Fernandes finding the target.  MATCH OVERVIEW Bruno Fernandes chipped in with 2 more goal involvements The match at Old Trafford was a bit dull to start with as both teams were relying more on individual quality than tactical brilliance to break the deadlock. Marcus Rashford continued his breathtaking form as he drove from the left flank into the box and rifled a shot into Darlow's near post. Just before halftime, a poor header from Harry Maguire landed at the feet of Allan Saint-Maximan who converted to bring the Magpies level. As if a switch had been turned on at halftime, the Red Devils came in with purpose and tried to create chances to get into the box. The breakthrough finally happened when Dan James was played ...

  Manchester United kick off their Europa League campaign against Real Sociedad TRIVIA Venue - Allianz Arena, Turin Kick-Off - Thursday, February 10                  11:25 IST Manchester United in this topsy-turvy season have perhaps found their identity. United can be counted on as being predictably unpredictable and that leads to a lot of shock results good or bad. They will want to bounce back from a 1 - 1  draw against relegation candidates West Bromwich Albion . Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want to do better than their last season in the Europa League and want to get his hands on silverware with the Premier League looking a bit far out of reach now.  Real Sociedad are no joke , they are a force to be reckoned with this season. The Spanish side has been playing out of their skin this season and sit fifth in the league. David Silva has added incentive to beat the Red Devils after his glorious career at the Etihad where he over...

Manchester United have picked up just 1 pt from 2 matches against the leagues bottommost clubs TALKING POINTS It was a terrible start to that game from the Red Devils as they gave away a very early goal to West Brom within 3 minutes. Diagne wrestled with Lindelof and stuck the header home from close range following a world-class ball delivered by Connor Gallagher. West Brom did not let up as they continued to be physically dominant against a Man United side who was taken by surprise. But then again many would not have been surprised as Manchester United are predictably unpredictable. Moments before half time, Luke Shaw lobbed a ball which was met exquisitely by Fernandes who yet again tried to dig the Red Devils out of a hole. Manchester United's start to the second half was in stark contrast to what they showed in the first half. The movement was a lot quicker and balls were being fizzed into the box. All the sign seemed to show that Man United would find a way but West Brom wer...

The Theatre of Dreams Manchester United dismantled Southampton side 9-0 at the Old Trafford on Tuesday night to go level on points with their Manchester City at the top of the PL. Solskjaer finally saw an utterly ruthless side as they fully exploited Southampton's trauma. It was a nasty result. Match Review Cavani's relieved to score after missing a host of chances against Arsenal The Red Devil's never relented after the Saints' Alexandre Jankewitz was sent off for a studs-up challenge on Scott Mctominay just 82 seconds into the match. Wan-Bissaka opened the scoring with his first goal at Old Trafford. United doubled their lead soon after Rashford redirected a Mason Greenwood pass past Saint's keeper. The third goal came courtesy of Southampton's own goal. Cavani added a 4th, not even having to jump as he powered home his header, such was the quality of Shaw's cross. Fernandes and Martial break their goal draughts Substitute Anthony Martial scored twice in...

  TRIVIA Venue - Old Trafford, Manchester Kick Off - Saturday, January 01-  20:00 GMT                   Sunday , January 02- 01:30 IST Manchester United are finally playing the United way as they currently sit 2nd in the league - three points off the leaders Liverpool with a game in hand. In what is turning out to be a pretty unpredictable season, The Red Devils find themselves in a title race - something not many would have thought of at the start of the season. Bruno Fernades and Marcus Rashford are on fire right now and Ole Gunnar Solskjar will be hoping that this continues against Aston Villa. A win here would see United go level on points with Liverpool having played the equal amount of games. It certainly would make the game at Anfield a lot more interesting. Aston Villa on the other hand have been 'the dark horse' this season. Having barely survived relegation last season, they find themselves in the top half of the tabl...

  TRIVIA Venue - Old Trafford, Manchester Kick Off - Saturday, November 21 -  21:00 GMT                   Sunday , November 22 - 01:30 IST The Red Devils will be looking to build upon their recent win over Everton and hopefully kick-start their season. The International Break came at a bad time for Manchester United as we had gotten a good response to a string of bad results. Also this break has complicated the United's injury list with a few more people injured. Now with United having to play twice every game week it will be crucial for them to get this run off to a winning start. This win will also help overturn their fortunes at home.   As for West Brom they will be looking for their first win in the Premier League since returning back this year. West Brom are one of the weakest sides in the Premier League and it is up to Bilic to pull off a miracle and keep them up. They would want to take advantage of United's wo...

  TRIVIA Venue - Parc De Princes, Paris Kick Off - Saturday, October 20 -  20:00 GMT                   Saturday, October 21 - 12:30 IST After a sluggish start to the season for Manchester United, things finally came together for the Red Devils against Newcastle as they dispatched the Magpies convincingly, beating them 4 - 1. United's goals were extremely fluid and they had finally found the attacking mojo that was seen during the second half of last season. Today, they return to the stadium where Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enjoyed his best ever win as Manchester United's manager, where he masterminded a 3 - 1 comeback - which was won in trademark Solskjaer style - an injury time winner. It was one one of the best Champions League nights in United history and that is what gave Ole the job. One and a half year in, the Norwegian guided United to 3rd place in the Premier League and looks to be here to stay. Our French rivals, Paris Saint...
