Rio's fitness problems have not improved at all from last season - it seems that his back-injury could be a permanent one, the consequence of which is that he'll all too often wake up in the morning with a 'twinge' and any progress towards full fitnes that he's made will be reset. Firstly, is this correct? I've heard nothing to...

Wes, Hargreaves, Neville, Rio, Owen, Fabio & Evans. All players who are injury prone or have been carrying long term injuries. Then you have Anderson & Vidic who have also had their problems recently. Do we have more injury prone players than most or do we have about average for a Premiership team?

Sir Alex Ferguson revealed this week that Gary Neville may still have another year at Manchester United in him, although unlike Ryan Giggs and Edwin Van der Sar, Nev has yet to be offered a contract extension. Despite injuries and suspension this season, Neville has made 19 appearances, which may suggest the manager is right in

And so it begins in earnest. After months of pressure being to filter through from fan groups, the last few weeks have seen Manchester United fans begin to turn up the pressure on the Glazer family. Do not be fooled by people giving this anti-American slant, this is not about such trivial matters as nationality.

He’s my hero of sorts, the integral piece of the attacking puzzle to my beloved Manchester United and my (adopted) country of England.

Ahead of Manchester United’s 1-0 victory over Wolves, which was a hard fought affair that we came close to drawing, Sir Alex Ferguson was critical of our star player, Wayne Rooney. After struggling for fitness three days earlier in the League Cup final, and seeing team mate Michael Owen pick up an injury on the

most of our signings from the last 5 or 6 years have been pretty poor in my opinion and the weird thing is, the signings which most people moaned about at the time are the ones that are now the most successful (vidic, evra, valencia) and the ones that most people got excited about have been pretty shit (berbatov, nani,...

He is the best chairman United has ever had - and it makes me really sad to see anti-Gill banners. Gill has been brilliant for United - and some of the banners at Molineux were ridiculous to say the least. Sure - he has a decent paycheck - but if he was to leave United, he could easily find a...

What's the deal with him lately? Not had aany playing time at all for a long time has he?

Seems every time we start with those two in a midfield three we play Scholes as the deepest-lying midfielder for a bit, to then realise he's not Pirlo and is our biggest goal threat from midfield, and him and Carrick switch back to their more natural positions. Why do we keep trying it when it doesn't seem to be working?...

Antonio Valencia has again spoken to distance himself from the comparison with Cristiano Ronaldo.
