Congratulations to Kieran McKenna for a remarkable couple of years.

A little reminder that he and Michael Carrick were predominantly responsible for the tactics at Manchester United while working alongside Solskjaer.

These things take time.

Manchester United have accelerated their interest in Sunderland wonderkid Chris Rigg.

Despite reports the club had given up in September, key figures remain optimistic about acquiring the 16-year-old England youth star.

Rigg has already made 20 appearances in the Championship.

I’ve been vocal that this Manchester United side overachieved last season, and Erik ten Hag has been fighting with a hand behind his back for some time.

Nothing in that interview screams he is on the way out, and I couldn’t be happier for every naysayer.

Trust the process.

Regardless of opinion, if Erik ten Hag had accepted a poor response to an individual's training application and critique of such, he would be lamented as a soft coach who couldn't control his dressing room.

Manchester United is bigger than any one player.

🇾🇪 A very Happy 49th Birthday to our very own David Beckham 🇾🇪

Bursting onto the scene at 17, Beckham made his first-team debut for United in 1992.

A true embodiment of the Red Devils' spirit, he poured his heart and soul into every minute he played for us. His tireless work…

It is easy to rewrite history based on one standout performance. A form of heterodoxy occurs weekly in football, and while not taking away from Jadon Sancho against PSG, don’t forget the lengths Erik ten Hag went to help him.

Sancho failed Manchester United and his manager.

The quality on display in this quarter-final is worthy of a final.

Two exceptional players going toe-to-toe every frame. The winner of this is going to take some beating.

I’ll be appearing on talkSPORT with Paul Ross once more. You can tune in early Monday morning (1:45 AM) to digest the weekend's action in LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1.

If you’re awake or can’t sleep, I’ll do my best to make it worthwhile. 👌🏻

54 goals and 39 assists in 156 Premier League appearances for Manchester United.

I understand the toxicity that appears on social media for every footballer on any day, but I will never understand the agenda against Bruno Fernandes.

He is priceless!

The future is now: BTL is partnering with Afriskaut to help shed a light on African football and take it to the next level.

I couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with a company that has all the tools to be a game-changer in the footballing landscape.
