Venue: Stamford Bridge Date: Monday, 1 April Kick-off: 12:30 BST Whilst seven changes against Southampton saw us slip up again in the league Saturday, United managed to rest players and still edge a bit closer to the title.  The interim clearly doesn’t take the Premier League as seriously as we do and decided to put [...]

Venue: Old Trafford Date: Sunday, 10 March Kick-off: 16.30 GMT   United. A game I’d usually feel nervous about, a game I’d be well up for – until now. Now I’m just dreading it. Yep, more doom and gloom but let’s be honest the idea of being up against the likes of Rooney and Van [...]
