While things are beginning to turn around for Jose Mourinho at Manchester United, his treatment of youth player still irks much of the Old Trafford faithful. It’s a tag he’s been labelled with for most of his success-ridden managerial career – “Enemy of the Academy”.

With Manchester United, City, Arsenal and Chelsea all collecting three points yesterday, it was imperative Liverpool overcame Mark Hughes’ Stoke.

Discussing the Frenchman’s credentials to challenge for the Ballon d’Or, he said, as quoted by The People’s Person. “If the perception changes, Paul can win it because Paul is not a goal-scorer, Paul is a midfielder that will score more and more goals. Because …

It’s not all been plain sailing for Jose Mourinho at Manchester United but there has been definite signs of improvement under the Portuguese.

More recently, results have picked up significantly after the nadir of his reign …

Despite claiming a vital three points on Monday against West Brom, somewhat understandably a fraction of Arsenal’s players will not be happy with how the team performed, as they failed to break down the Baggies until the dying minutes.  Having suffered two defeats in a row before Monday’s clash frustration levels were expected to be high, and even though Olivier …

Things are beginning to look a bit more positive for Manchester United with four wins on the trot bringing an air of optimism to Old Trafford.

Ever since the revival of Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s Manchester United career, Jose Mourinho’s side has looked a completely different beast.

His jaw-dropping scorpion kick goal against Sunderland was the peak of his mid-season comeback. Mkhitaryan with an amazing Scorpion Kick goal! Goal of the season? ? pic.twitter.com/zKlridRt3V …

The scoreline perhaps doesn’t tell the true story of how close this game was up until Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan combined inside the final ten minutes of the game to confirm a vital three points against Sunderland, all despite a late Fabio Borini strike.  But the tight first 80 minutes of the clash will matter little to United now, who …

Having been just three points behind leaders Chelsea up until two weeks ago, Arsenal’s subsequent losses to Everton and Manchester City have set them back to fourth place as City and Liverpool have raced ahead.  While in some quarters these two defeats have been viewed as the beginning of Arsenal’s almost annual capitulation when it comes to the title race, …

Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past couple of weeks, you will know that James Rodriguez is more than likely going to leave Real Madrid.  Where he is to go is still unclear, but AS are now reporting that Chelsea are at the head of the queue for the Colombia international’s signature ahead of European giants Manchester United, …
