Paul Scholes brutally wiped out Chelsea’s chances in the 2008 Champions League – glancing at Avram Grant.

He said: “I don’t know why, but I just looked at the managers and I looked at Avram Grant and I was like, ‘How can he beat Sir Alex Ferguson?’

“I just didn’t see how he could do it and that’s the wrong way to look at it because the game is being played on the pitch.

“I can still see John Terry putting on that shirt now, unfortunately for him.” “

Row of Ronaldo statues

Man Utd legend Cristiano Ronaldo has been honored with a new golden statue … 5,700 miles from Old Trafford.

The Portuguese star, 36, was carved into a £ 12,000 and 65 stone monument in the Indian town of Calangute, Goa.

It was erected to inspire the next generation of footballers, according to the Times of India.

However, residents are said to be unhappy that a local footballer was not honored instead.

United transfer spree

Although manager Ralf Rangnick remains coy on January chants, Manchester United have been linked with a number of transfer targets.

Erling Haaland, Kieran Trippier and Amadou Haidara have all been mentioned as potential buyers.

Here’s what United’s top-eleven could look like with those three added.

Ronaldo’s mom’s birthday

Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo wished his mother Dolores Aveiro a happy birthday with a touching message.

Ronaldo is very close to his mother and has recognized her on several occasions as a major influence on the way her life and legendary career have unfolded.

Ronaldo posted a photo of herself on Instagram with the caption: “Happy birthday to the best mother in the world, a warrior who always taught me not to give up, the best grandma my kids could dream of to have…

“I love you so much, mother! Kiss!”

United’s next coach

After a regular start, Ralf Rangnick has been installed as the favorite to start the 2022-2023 season as Man Utd manager.

PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino is the second favorite, while Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers is also on the list.

Wayne Rooney is a massive outside bet at 22/1

brucey birthday

It’s not just the birthday of a Manchester United legend, it’s two!

Former captain Steve Bruce, who is 61 today, shares his special day with Sir Alex Ferguson.

Lots of happy returns Brucey!

Icardi bound

Manchester United are reportedly linked with a move by Argentina striker Mauro Icardi.

The PSG striker is said to be unhappy with his lack of playing time in Paris this season.

Since the arrival of Lionel Messi, Icardi has been pushed further in the hierarchy.

Manchester United are reportedly considering getting rid of Edinson Cavani.

If they do, the Italian outlet Calciomercato says they will look to replace it with Icardi.

Famous rooney

Wayne Rooney shared an adorable video of his son Kai wildly celebrating a late Derby County win from the stands.

The Manchester United legend and current Derby boss had the support of his 12-year-old son away in a Championship clash against Stoke on Thursday night.

And Rooney shared the video of Kai on Twitter celebrating wildly amid the jubilant Derby supporters, proudly cheering on his father at the final whistle.

Utd below Sunderland

When it comes to the average number of points clubs have accumulated across the four divisions, it’s no surprise that Manchester City are ahead.

However, surprisingly, the Black Cats are above the Red Devils and just above QPR.

Best Prem Manager Ever

Pep Guardiola, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho may all have enjoyed league success, but not on the same scale as Sir Alex Ferguson.

On the occasion of his 80th birthday, it is fitting to salute this milestone by reminding football fans that he has won 13 league titles.

Will it ever be broken?

Tribute to Sir Alex

On the eve of Man Utd legend Sir Alex Ferguson’s 80th birthday, Stretford End paid tribute to the legendary boss in Burnley’s game last night.

Fergie was at the game and seemed in awe of the tribute, clapping as he moved along the grandstand.

Bailly fears an injury

Eric Bailly played all injury fears after being substituted against Burnley on Thursday night.

The Ivorian defender was recalled from the roster against the Clarets but was replaced with what looked like an injury.

However, Bailly says he was just “tired”.

“Thanks to all the fans for the support tonight,” Eric told the Man Utd website.

“It was a good win. I’m good, I’m good, just tired. A good win to end the year.”

He should now join the Ivory Coast team for the next African Cup of Nations.

Rangnick’s transfer plans

Ralf Rangnick is unsure if he will make any additions to his United squad when the January transfer window opens.

The Man Utd boss added that he wanted to focus on the players he already has at his disposal.

“The transfer window in winter only makes sense if it increases quality. So far, we haven’t talked about it.

“I am focusing on the current players, we have enough players,” Rangnick told BBC Sport.

Happy Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is “very happy” at Manchester United, insists Jorge Mendes.

And the superagent added that the Portuguese striker will have a “good season” and continue his scoring form.

The agent told Sky Sports in Italy: “Cristiano Ronaldo is very happy at Manchester United.

“He will continue with his strong and excellent performances, as always in his career.

“It will be a great season for him I’m sure.”
