Mikael Silvestre signed for United on September 10th, 1999 from Inter Milan for a reported 3.5 million quid. Inter were his second club though, having started his career with French first division outfit Rennes. He did not enjoy the best of starts to his United career having a difficult first season but came on on leaps and bounds in his second season here. He made more than 50 appearances in the 2000-01 season as he began making his mark and earned SAF’s confidence. There was no doubt Sir Alex Ferguson loved Silvestre’s attacking threat as much as his defensive skills. When played as...

United eased to YET another win in the Premier League as Everton left Old Trafford with nothing but a sad face wondering what hit them. To be fair, the scoreline does flatter to deceive but how many teams have been complaining of late for not taking our chances and all. Justice is served in my opinion and it was coming sooner or later. The Toffees had it coming to them and we delivered the sucker punch when we needed to. Fergie did surprise me enormously with the amount of changes he made. We virtually had a second-string midfield out there, not that they aren’t good enough, just that we...

The Toffees come calling to Old Trafford in a mid-week game this week in the Premier League. The Toffees have enjoyed a good spell under the Scot Moyes and have developed into one of the much-improved Premiership outfits in recent times.

The mind games have apparently started already. So much that here I am talking about the reaction from our big game against Chelski once more. While Fergie is busy ruing his missed opportunities, Mr. Mourinho on the other hand has been putting up his usual annoyingly-noticeable arrogance on display for us once again by claiming the result was a positive one for Chelski. Fergie said: “Between the two of us it is going to be nip and tuck and there won’t be a lot in it,” Ferguson said. “But we have given ourselves an outstanding chance. It is a fantastic league and I’m just...
