Michael Carrick
Michael Carrick believes he is at his peak for Manchester United

Michael Carrick has been excellent for Manchester United this term. United’s number sixteen, who signed from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2006, has been a pivotal part of the side to ensure a unprecedented 20th league was won with four games to spare. Carrick has played in 43 games for United this season, that is second to only Robin van Persie.

Earlier in the season, we described Carrick as United’s most important midfielder and after a number of dominant performances, you can’t argue otherwise. The cultured midfielder was speaking with the official Manchester United website and discussed Andrea Pirlo, Sergio Busquets and setting an example for the younger players.

Carrick’s performances were noted by his peers and he was nominated for the PFA footballer of the year award, which was subsequently won by Gareth Bale.

Nemanja Vidic expects a tough match for Manchester United away at West Ham

Nemanaja Vidic has spoken to MUTV about Manchester United’s trip away to West Ham and expects a tough time, like the physical encounter away at Stoke City on Sunday. United won the match 2-0, with Vidic superb at the heart of the defence, winning header after header against the physical Kenwyne Jones, who was eventually substituted.

United’s captain has only featured in twenty appearances so far this season, with sixteen of those coming in the league. His inclusion will be vital to combat the aerial threat of Andy Carroll. United have played West Ham three times so far this season, winning the match 1-0 at home in the league, drawing 2-2 in the FA Cup and then winning the replay 1-0.

Nemanja Matic
Nemanja Matic has been linked with a transfer to Manchester United from Benfica

The Guardian has linked Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic with a move to Manchester United from Benfica to strengthen the midfield. For a number of years, many reds have longed for a top class centre midfielder, even more so after 39 year old Ryan Giggs was chosen to pair with Michael Carrick in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester City last Monday. Matic has recently signed a new five year deal, so will come at a price, but according to the report – United’s scouts have been impressed with the Serbian international who has notched up five goals so far this term. The 25 year old has featured five times for his country.

Robert Mancini and Sir Alex Ferguson on the touchline in the Manchester derby last season

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini today commented that Manchester United should not be fifteen points clear in the title run in, despite the fact that United have not lost in the league since late November, when the league leaders went down 1-0 away at Norwich. In that time, United have only dropped four points (two draws away at Swansea and Tottenham) whilst City have lost away at Southampton and at Everton, and of course – losing to Manchester United after that last gasp freekick from Robin van Persie. We will have a full preview of the match live on the website in time for the derby.

Robin van Persie praises Rene Meulensteen coaching

Manchester United's Robin van Persie celebrates scoring
Robin van Persie praises Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen for his goals this season

Robin van Persie has thanked United’s long serving coach Rene Meulensteen for his goal scoring exploits this season. Meulensreen celebrated ten years at Old Trafford last season and is an extremely well liked and respected member of the coaching team. He has helped the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney develop into the players they are today. The Dutch coach, who retired through injury at the age of 29, helped a young Ronaldo develop by working on when he should dribble and when to pass the ball, which of course helped towards the incredible 42 goal haul in 2007/08. It appears he is having the same impact with Robin van Persie.

Nick Powell has been tipped for Manchester United success by Darren Fletcher

Author: Stretford_End

Nick Powell, Manchester United’s summer signing from Crewe Alexandra, has been praised by teammate Darren Fletcher following an impressive performance away in Turkey against Galatasaray. United lost the game 1-0, however Powell’s quick feet and range of passing was on show for all to see. Many Reds have suggested that United are crying out for centre midfielder and Powell could very well be that player if nurtured right. The youngster scored on his debut in the 4-0 victory over Wigan earlier this season.

Rooney vs Tiote
Wayne Rooney impressed Sir Alex Ferguson against Newcastle United in the league cup last night.

Sir Alex Ferguson was impressed with Wayne Rooney last night in the 2-1 league cup victory over Newcastle United. Rooney had injured his right leg in the 3-2 victory over Fulham at the end of August after coming on as a substitute. Earlier in the season, he had been criticised for a lacklustre performance against his former club Everton, where United lost 1-0. His performance in an unorthodox midfield role highlighted Fergie’s desire to get his number ten back playing as soon as possible. United welcome Spurs to Old Trafford on Saturday.
