We're incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Steve Wright. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and fans.
A giant of broadcasting who made the job look effortless. Steve Wright in the afternoon was a big part of my formative years. It was such an honour to appear on his shows and see the master at work. RIP Steve Wright.
🚨🔴 OFFICIAL: Premier League confirm Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s acquisition of 25% of Manchester United has been approved following the completion of the Owners and Directors Test.
“The Premier League’s Owners’ Charter has also been signed”.
I am so sad that my dear friend Steve Wright has passed away. He was a great broadcaster and we just loved one another’s company. I was shocked at the news and will miss him terribly.
It’s been quite an overwhelming week.
Dad’s passing on Sunday was extremely sad and during the final hours I told him I would send a thank you to Kobbie Mainoo from the family for scoring that last minute @ManUtd winner that was the last goal he got to enjoy. Really didn’t expect the reaction that it would receive from fans and media. This resulted in football fans from around the world sharing so many thousands of wonderful messages for Dad. Culminating in Kobbie and the club sending a condolence video message too. Truly a heartwarming and humbling experience that will never be forgotten. Thank you to everyone who has sent a message. They are all so appreciated.❤️
Despite it being not ideal preparation, managed to get out to do the annual ‘Charles Darwin Day’ marathon in Shrewsbury yesterday as the second part of a four stage marathon challenge to raise money for The Christie Hospital in Manchester who helped with some of Dads treatment. It was really emotional and a bit strange as you did 44 laps of the same circuit! But completed it with some wonderful support from the family and we have raised nearly £1,250 so far, which is brilliant. The Christie do some amazing work with clinical trials and new treatments are being uncovered all the time. If anyone would like to donate to support this work, just drop me a DM and I can send you ths link over (X doesn’t like posting of links on here). Thank you to everyone who has donated. ❤️❤️❤️
Højlund's last 3 PL games;
• Goal vs Aston Villa
• Goal & assist vs Spurs
• Goal & assist Wolves
That's FIVE goal contributions in 3 league games, scoring in all 3 games.
Rasmus Winther Højlund has arrived, spread the word. 🇩🇰🔥
These Mourinho rumours showing again how little loyalty some of our fans have towards the manager!
A man who gave us our first silverware in 6 years, got us 3rd place and champions league one season after us getting our worst points total in PL history!
A man who has dealt with more issues with players and behind the scenes in 18 months than other managers have to in 5 years
Yes the season hasn’t been great, but the squad has been very light due to extensive injuries to key players.
Now is not the time to jump the gun and sack another manager!
Now is the time to be patient, I know people will say it was a different time but Sir Alex Ferguson came into a club in a similar situation in terms of poor squad culture and it took him 6 years to get on top of it!
Ferguson took 6 years to win the league and 4 years to win a trophy, ETH won a trophy in 1 ( by no means am I claiming he’s better than SAF.) I’m just asking for patience to give him a chance to build a team in his own image instead of one that’s like a Picasso painting from 4 different managers, currently in ETHs strongest 11 only Onana, Martinez, Casemiro, Mainoo (he brought in from youth team), Garnacho and Højlund are his players.
he’s only brought in 10 players permanently to a squad of around 30 players, he needs at least another window or 2 to get in more players who will work hard for him as some of the current crop don’t seem to have it in them.
Obviously getting results until the end of the season will be the thing that keeps him in his job, but having tons of extra pressure from fans won’t help him towards getting results!
Get behind the team and support them till the end of the season instead of spreading hate and negativity and we might achieve more than you expect!
There’s nothing the media and our rival fans would fear more than a united team with a united fanbase!

🚨🔴 According to analysis,Kobbie Mainoo is the best Manchester United midfielder and Alejandro Garnacho the best left winger.
Retweet for yes,let's go!!
Klopp leaving after 9 years, shows once again how incredible it is that Sir Alex was at the top for 26 years.
That level of longevity will never be seen again. #MUFC
