Manchester United continued their quest for a first win in 4 attempts over 2018/2019 nemesis Wolves in a 'Monday Night Raw' clash. The game saw Anthony 'Ikechukwu' Martial's goal cancelled out by a Ruben Neves stunner. Here are five things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the match. 1) WAN-BISSAKA BUS STOP What a player! What a signing! Another day at the office, another magnificent 'Isakaba' performance from United's 'tear rubber' £50m signing. The former Palace man has wasted no time in making that right back slot his own, bombing up and down the right and showing extreme defensive reliability. So far so good, it is safe to say, our right back problems have finally been solved. #ManUtdNaijaFM's man of the match. 2) A TALE OF TWO HALVES The first half of the game saw United drop in arguably the most organised performance since Ole took over. The Red Devils retained the bulk of possession with attacking intent, w...

It was a wonderful Saturday afternoon for United as yet again under Olè Gunnar Solskjaer, three points were loaded into the Manchester United 'truck', garnished with a clean sheet. Here are five things ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from the victory at Craven cottage: 1. NO ANTI-VIRUS United's 'Swaggerlicious' midfielder, Paul 'Ikenna' Pogba, was labelled a 'Virus' by United's former manager. He has continued to show the kind of virus he is- a virus that destroys opponents! The beautiful thing is, there doesn't seem to be an anti-virus for him as he has now scored 8 goals and 5 assists since Ole took over. His 'bullet' shot today was incredible and left Fulham's keeper speechless. 2. TILL 2024 !! French midfielder and 'tormentor-in-chief' of right backs, Anthony 'Ikechukwu' Martial was at his best today, with an assist and a beautiful solo goal. The young lad recently signed a five-yea...

Manchester United are set to resume Premier League duties with a match up against Claudio Ranieri's Fulham at Craven Cottage next on the cards.

In line with customs and traditions of the land, Ole 'Ugonna' Solskjaer has updated the press about the latest team news alongside injury updates in his Friday press conference. “Rojo has been training for a few days, so he’s back in training,“ said Ole. ”But we’ve lost Antonio (Valencia) and Matteo (Darmian) through niggles for a couple of weeks," Solskjaer said in his injury update. “We’re still not bad. We’ve got 20-21 players training every day, so that’s good.” 20-21 players fit and ready is not bad by any means, but we do hope the injury list shortens in the coming weeks, with every personnel needed in ...

It was a beautiful Sunday evening at Wembley as United made it 6 wins in 6 games after a thrilling encounter against Tottenham. Here are five things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from this super victory: 1. NEW UNITED, NEW RASHFORD . Manchester United look like a 'newborn' team. The boys are happy, confident and motivated. Marcus 'Rashidi-Yekini' in like manner, looks like fresh 'suya' from the fire, too hot to handle!! He scored his 40th goal for United today and has now scored in 3 consecutive games for the first time in his career. 2. 'POGBA THE VIRUS!!!' The French 'Swaggerlicious' midfielder who was labelled a virus, has proven to be a real virus, not to United but to all opponents. His pass to Rashford for the goal was simply 'Chivita-stic'. He now has 4 goals and 4 assists in 6 games for Solskjaer......May all 'anti-viruses' tremble!!! 3. FROM MIS-FIT TO BEST-FIT Our 'Jollof' defender, Victor Li...

Ole 'Ugonna' Solskjaer has already made his best signing according to former player, Paul Parker. Parker, who donned the United shirt between 1991 and 1996 , believes Solskjaer has made a perfect choice which is crucial to United's improvement going forward. In an interview with talkSPORT, Paul Parker stated; "Mike Phelan may be the best signing the Manchester United have made, him coming back, he should never have been allowed to leave in the first place when David Moyes came in. That was a massive mistake by David Moyes. "But he's back now and someone like him, who worked with Sir Alex and knows about the club as well, it is as important off the pitch as it is on it. "Micky Phelan makes the big, big difference sitting next to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Phelan seems the most vocal in the technical area? Oh, without a doubt."

Manchester United launched 2019 with a clash against Newcastle United. It was a perfect start for Solskjaer's squad as Rafa Benitez and his boys were blown away thanks to goals from Rashford and Lukaku. Here are five things #ManUtdNaijaFM learnt from 2019 take-off. 1. PARK THE BUS FORMATION. Newcastle came into the game with fear and trembling. They brought a very big bus with them and parked it in front of their goal post. It was nice watching a game in which a bus was parked but not by Manchester United. 2. BENDING IT LIKE CR-7. Our 'whiz-kid', Marcus 'Rashidi-Yekini' once again rattled the Newcastle goalkeeper with his free-kick which is improving daily. He took it well, bent it like CR-7 and it was too hot to handle. His finish for the 2nd goal was unlike him; super calm. The Solskjaer effect is gradually taking effect. 3. LIKE SOLSKJAER LIKE SUPER SUB In his playing days, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was 'Igwe' ...

Manchester United are set to close put a final full stop to their 2018 with a clash against Eddie Howe's Bournemouth side.

In line with customs and traditions, Ole Gunnar Solsjaer delivered the latest team news alongside injury updates in his Friday press conference. From all indications, it appears the boss is set to rotate his squad once again, with focus on the attack due to the apparent return of Alexis Sanchez from injury, Romelu Lukaku from his compassionate leave, and Anthony Martial who missed the chance to punch Huddersfield on boxing day due to food poisoning from his Christmas Rice.
