League One side Rochdale travelled across Manchester for a League Cup Third Round derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night and nearly caused an upset against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.

United beat Newcastle and Blackburn at youth level
The youth teams provided some solace for Manchester United fans on another weekend of disappointment for the first team. There’s hope for the future as they have started the season well at both U23 and U18 levels and both teams earned good wins this time out. The U23s won 4-0 at Newcastle in the Premier […]
Manchester United 1-2 Crystal Palace
Manchester United experienced their first defeat of the season and were again made to pay the price of a missed penalty as Crystal Palace left Old Trafford with three points in the bag. It was the first time the Eagles had ever beaten Manchester United in the Premier League. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had named an […]
Manchester United v Crystal Palace
It’s a rare Saturday afternoon 3:pm kick off for Manchester United this weekend as they face Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. On paper, it should be their easiest fixture of the season so far, as Chelsea at home and Wolves away are usually both tougher assignments than a visit from the Eagles. Roy Hodgson’s Palace […]
Wolves 1-1 Manchester United

However, the emphatic scoreline doesn’t tell the full story as Chelsea put up a strong fight and had more possession, more corners and more shots. Indeed, they hit the […]
Manchester United 2-2 AC Milan
Manchester United failed to win for the first time this pre-season, but they did maintain their unbeaten record with a 2-2 draw against AC Milan in the International Champions Cup in Cardiff and even managed to round things off with a penalty shoot-out win in their final match before the new campaign gets underway at […]
Kristiansund 0-1 Manchester United
Manchester United laboured to a 1-0 friendly win against Kristiansund in Norway in the latest match of their pre-season tour and needed a last minute penalty from substitute Juan Mata to break the deadlock and maintain their one hundred percent record in their summer programme. The match was all about the Solskjær family, with United […]
