A Message To The Toxic Side Of Manchester United's Fanbase

3 weeks ago | attackingfootball.com | Dylan Mcbennett

For some, football is that beautiful escape. It’s the breakaway from reality, a 90-minute festival where nothing else matters other than the hush of the crowd, the ping of the ball and the jubilation, or even despair, of the result. For others, it’s an excuse to be the horrible people they are in their day-to-day lives, hiding behind the guise of being a “true fan.”Being toxic doesn’t help anybody.

With just five games left of the 2024/25 season, each game comes with an added incentive. Manchester City are chasing the European places, and Everton are hoping to end their final season at Goodison on a high. Looking past the final result, this game was a clash of contrasting styles: Pep Guardiola’s possession-dominant football vs David Moyes’s more rigid counter-attacking style of play. There was a lot to analyse in this game, so let’s begin to unpack it.

It has been eight years since Benfica claimed their fourth consecutive league title. Since then, no team has managed to win back-to-back championships in Portugal’s top flight, with Benfica, Porto and Sporting vying for supremacy. However, that may be set to change very soon with Sporting on track to claim yet another championship. But if they are to claim their second-straight league title, they’ll need Francisco Trincão to deliver the goods during the home stretch of the campaign.

When Bruno Fernandes first stepped out onto that hallowed turf at the Theatre of Dreams on that baltic night during the first day February had to offer us in 2020, few in attendance could have predicted the true impact this man from Maia, Portugal, would go on to have in the years that followed.

“It’s shameful letting us play such an important competition, where a lot of champions take part, with a ball like this”—Gianluigi Buffon. The World Cup in 2010 was one of the most incredible events in modern history. Taking place in South Africa, it would be the first time that an African nation hosted this major sporting event. From the moment it was announced that South Africa would be hosting the 2010 World Cup, preparations began, and FIFA ensured it would be one of the greatest tournaments.

Manchester United have a gem in their hands in the shape of Ayden Heaven, and his true ability was on show yesterday in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal. Heaven came on for Leny Yoro at halftime after the Frenchman limped off with a foot injury and put in a dominant display down the left-hand side of defence, contributing to the continuation of Manchester United’s record of not losing a game while leading at halftime, which stretches back to 1984.

There’s a new wave of young, battle-hardened center backs who are making a name for themselves in European football and staking their claim in the footballing elite. Today, we’re taking a look at four young center backs who are destined for stardom. It has been nothing short of a meteoric rise for Abdukadir Khusanov.

More Than Just A Youth Cup Game On A Friday

Feb 27, 2025 | attackingfootball.com | Dylan Mcbennett

Manchester United have won the FA Youth Cup more than any other club in the competition’s history, starting their hopefully lifelong affinity with the trophy back in 1953, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 9-3. The Red’s won the tournament for the first five years of its existence, scoring a total of 33 goals in five games. After the 5-2 win against Swindon Town in 1964, the club with the biggest relationship with youth in the Premier League had to wait until 1992 to win it again.
SOURCES: Manchester United Players Believe Ruben Amorim Will Succeed If Given Time

Feb 24, 2025 | attackingfootball.com | Dylan Mcbennett

Ruben Amorim has become a target for the media in recent weeks, as has every Manchester United manager in the last ten years after a run of poor results, but there is a feeling among the players that the manager should be given time to turn things around and that he is fully backed in the dressing room.
