    I wrote books about Manchester United in the 70s, 80s & 90s. Thought it was about time I got stuck into the noughties one. I've been meeting the players and speaking to them about a remarkable time at MUFC. You can pre-order here. linktr.ee/BringOnUnited

    MCFC and Liverpool. The two greatest teams ever. What a rivalry. MCFC with their 0 European Cups, Liverpool with one title since 1990. It really does mean more, this one.

    Mourinho and Solksjaer worked miracles to get those players to second.

    Axel Tuanzebe's life story is an inspiration to millions. Kid arrived from Congo aged 4 and didn't speak English. Grafted at school and got excellent grades. Captained MUFC at every level. Pity the rancid, faceless, racists who abuse him and the platforms which propagate it.

    June 2028. “Manchester United are considering an approach for double World Cup and Champions League winner Paul Pogba, 35.”

    Besiktas win at 4th place Eyüpspor, managed by Arda Turan, to move above them. Now 5 wins, one draw and one defeat from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first seven games.

    In Belgrade. Met a man who reckoned he played for Red Star. Remember anything about him? He’s a tactical obsessive (done all coaching badges, now doing a masters degree for footballers) explaining different systems using Serbian beans for players.

    The €120 Barça are charging MUFC fans for Camp Nou is the most expensive ticket in MU's history outside of a final. MUFC will now increase cost of Barça's tickets at OT to €120...and use difference to subsidise ticket prices for travellers to Camp Nou down to £75.

    Just saw Ayden Heaven walk out of the stadium in Leicester. Foot in a brace but walking.

    Axel Tuanzebe had captained MUFC at every age level bar the first team. Tonight he captains the first team against Rochdale, the town where he grew up in after arriving from DR Congo aged four - with no English, only French and Lingala. At 16 he got As and A stars in his GCSEs.
