There is a match at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, but few in the crowd will care for the action – not on Sir Alex Ferguson’s final home appearance in charge of United. Retiring after 27 years at the helm, Ferguson will say a last goodbye to the supporters who have cried his name for [...]

On this week’s extended Rant Cast regular presenters Ed & Paul look back on 27 years of Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford – the man, the manager, and his legacy. What kind of club will Ferguson leave behind, and how should fans assess Ferguson’s quarter century in charge? In a dramatic week for the [...]

“I certainly don’t have any plans at the moment to walk away from what I believe will be something special,” said Sir Alex Ferguson in his programme notes accompanying Manchester United’s fixture with Chelsea last weekend. Forget the Italians, if Ferguson says it’s pasta, check under the sauce. For less than three days later United’s [...]

There was a moment, somewhere around 15 minutes into Manchester United’s insipid performance against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday, when Brazilian midfielder Anderson lofted a 50 yard pass forward. With space to turn on to his favoured left foot, and under no discernible pressure, the player had time to assess the situation before striking [...]

The season may be winding down, but Sir Alex Ferguson appears in no mood to for his team to let up just yet.

Robin van Persie will command the headlines Sunday afternoon, although the former Arsenal striker is unlikely to receive a welcoming entrance at the Emirates. Manchester United’s visit to north London less than a week after claiming the Premier League title ensures that the Dutchman garners a much discussed ‘Guard of Honour’ from his former colleagues; [...]

Manchester United’s season will end with the Premier League trophy heading back to Old Trafford once again. It is, by any measure, a season of success, although disappointment in Europe and two domestic cup competitions will sting Sir Alex Ferguson over the summer. The Premier League may have been sealed with four games to go, [...]

On this week’s Premier League winning Rant Cast Ed & Paul celebrate Manchester United’s spectacular title triumph. It was the 20th time United has been crowned ‘Champions of England’ – the 13th title for Sir Alex Ferguson, and of course, Sir Ryan of Giggs. The celebrations continued long into the night… but that was just [...]

It really never gets boring, this lark of winning Premier League titles. Some 13 have now come during Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign; the latest after his side beat Aston Villa 3-0 at Old Trafford on Monday night. Perhaps none will be quite as giddily received as that in 1993, not after Steve Bruce’s late late double. [...]
