United finally beat depleted Barca, as goal hero Owen is once again preferred to Berbatov...

Manchester United 2-1 Barcelona; Washington, 2011, Match report in brief.




Manchester United brought down the curtain on what has been another hugely successful US tour with a 2-1 win over Pep Guardiola's severely depleted Barcelona in Washington last night, in front of a record crowd of over 81,000 fans.

The result was meaningless, not only because it was a friendly, albeit, a very

United could live to regret Sneijder brinkmanship with Mancini hovering in the wings...

David Gill has confirmed that there's nothing new to report in relation to Manchester United's interest in signing Wesley Sneijder. United's CEO used the word "dead" in response to questions from the media about the Inter Milan star ahead of tonight's final US tour fixture with Barcelona.

The transfer merry-go-round looks set to continue until the end of August, but United fans will no doubt 

Fergie and Gill at loggerheads over Sneijder deal?

Well what a strange turn events we've seen over the last 48 hours, with Fergie and then David Gill sending out conflicting messages about transfers. First we had Fergie speaking to the press telling us that United were unlikely to make any more signings before the Charity Shield. The manager suggested that the type of player he's looking for is not available at present and

Transfer poll: Joey Barton to replace Scholes? Fans to boycott the club if any deal goes ahead?

Manchester United fans desperate for a positive update on the latest on the proposed transfer of Wesley Sneijder to the champions awoke to news that will have shocked many to the core, because according to the Sunday Times, Ferguson could be ready to turn to Joey Barton to help solve his midfield problems.

If the response on Twitter to this latest nasty piece of transfer speculation is any

United guilty of over-egging 19th league title...it's very uncool you know...

I'm sure that I won't be the only Manchester United supporter who is slightly embarrassed by United who seem hell bent on plastering 19 over just about every marketing asset.

It's one thing for supporters to walk the streets with jibes on t-shirts trumpeting the team's achievements and at the same time poking fun at the likes of Citeh and Liverpool, but it's quite another when United's

Reports emanating from Italy are claiming want-away Carlos Tevez has today held meetings with Marco Branca of Inter Milan about a summer move to the San Siro.

City slapped a £50m valuation on the player who scored the most goals in the Premier League over the last two seasons. Tevez was close to moving to Corinthians, however, that move broke down as time ran out with the

The rumour mill is running at full tilt as talk of what will hopefully turn out to be the biggest transfer of the summer rumbles on with the continuing saga of will or won't Wesley Sneijder join Manchester United? It is by far the biggest story of the summer - at least it is as far as United fans are concerned. But will it happen?

Last week, bless them, the BBC ran a story

Fergie's rebuilding continues: Goodbye Brown and O'Shea...

It can often be slightly disappointing when home grown players leave Manchester United to try their luck at another club. That was certainly the case earlier this week when Wes Brown and then John O'Shea left United to join up with Steve Bruce at Sunderland. Between them, the now ex United duo have won over 20 major trophies - many more than the likes of Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Alan

Fergie running out of options as targets snub United...

According to the latest news, Manchester United could be about to miss out on Samir Nasri, who is expected to sign for Manchester City along with Gael Clichy in a deal worth £27m. It was a different story last week with media reports claiming that Ferguson was confident of signing the Frenchman. However, over the weekend that scenario didn't seem likely after the Mail on Sunday ran a story in
