I remember paying 50p a letter for ‘Kanchelskis’ on my shirt. United to the core, Glazers Out since ’05.
I talk football here, and make football culture content elsewhere as @MikeUnitedFC.

All this "manager for life" talk from Rob and Ryan about Phil Parkinson...surely not?? Surely it's all bluster, no? #wrexham #acfwrexham

2-0 Terland. She is just excellent 👌🏻

MU Women up 1-0 at HT.
There's a small but passionate Norwegian contingent here to cheer on the United girls! 😂🇳🇴

While the men's team host Spurs, I'm at a rainy King Power to watch the women away 🔴⚪⚫ #mufc

An in-form Fulham team. An undeserved pen. A worldy equaliser. This game could've been much worse for us.

But this United ain't the same. Carrick's United are a talented, determined bunch of lads.

What a test, and WHAT a win! Probably Carrick's most impressive and important one yet.

I had no idea Garnacho got hooked at half time vs West Ham. You truly do love to see it

I do hope that United are doing the right thing by Carrick. He's a genuine, warm, articulate young coach who cares about the club.

If there's a plan for a more experienced permanent guy in the Summer, I hope Carrick knows that. Rather than stringing him along with false hope.

Remember when we were told that Viktor Gyökeres was twice the forward of Benjamin Šeško?

Or that this Arsenal side could even be mentioned in the same breath as United '08?

GTFO

Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates.

We outfought them. We outplayed them.

We had better quality all over. We played with passion, with courage.

What a way to use my 1000th post on Bluesky 🥹

We might not be "back" - but Manchester United are thankfully so much better ❤️

Cunha just gets it, doesn't he? 😍

Seems like Carrick has told his players to basically shoot on sight and I am SO here for it 🔥 ⚽

We are NOT BEING UNDONE by Set Piece FC!! What a shitty way to concede.

BUT WHAT A WAY TO RESPOND!!

GET IN CUNHA, WHAT A FUCKING STRIKE!!

Never give in, never back down!

Dorgu with an absolute thunderbastard of a goal!!

Always helps when it comes in off the bar! Sensational strike.
January 25, 2026 at 5:40 PM
I know Zubimendi gifted that to us, but it's no more than we deserve.

Heads didn't drop, intent remained positive. And that man Mbeumo was ready when called upon.

Class reaction. YANITED!!!

Villa Women 1-4 MU Women

Zigiotti 35, Terland 71, Park 75, Lundkvist 79.

The score didn't flatter United at all, who could've had more. Second half completely changed once Terland came on.

Tough game for Wangerheim and Schüller to get into.

Onwards and upwards! Over to Michael Carrick's men!

Morning all!

Away day at Villa Park for me today watching MU Women. Always love visiting that place!

Hopefully followed by getting home to watch a swashbuckling win by the men at the Emirates 🤞🏻

Did Elliot Anderson just get a straight red card for mouthing at the ref?? What must he have said for an instant red? Like literally, no hesitation.

✅ Saw Biffy Clyro on Friday
✅ United beat City on Saturday

It's been an amazing weekend. Manifesting more positivity this week 🤞🏻

Mark Chapman on MOTD: "Liverpool are unbeaten in 12".

Wayne Rooney: "6 of those were draws".

Well played Wazza for not pandering to that bullshit narrative.
January 17, 2026 at 11:47 PM
Obviously delighted with that performance. Not just the win, the whole setup and approach.

Totally dominant. Should've been more. City barely a sniff.

Coordinated, well-planned, intelligent. Everything we haven't been for so long.

And... IT'S CITY! The look on Cherki's shitty little face! 🤣
January 17, 2026 at 11:16 PM
I'm not superstitious.

But whenever I refrain from commenting on Bluesky mid-game, United tend to win! 🫩

Maybe that's my sign to zip it on match days from now on! 🤐

I honestly feel for Palace. After all they've achieved, and then it turns out that this is their ceiling financially and competitively.
A real punch in the gut for any club's ambition, outside the very richest teams.
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed he will leave the club this summer at the end of his contract.

“I told Steve (Parish) I’m looking for a new challenge,” Glasner said.
