Tunde Folawiyo | Transfer news at Old Trafford
Man United's final decisions regarding summer transfers will be left up to their new manager; although the club have not yet confirmed who this will be, the media have suggested that Louis Van Gaal will be appointed to this role. Given that Van Gaal will be busy managing the Netherlands team during the World Cup, it's entirely possible that he will not have the time to secure the most in-demand players. Fans of the team, such as Tunde Folawiyo, might recall that this is precisely what happened last summer, when Ed Woodward was given the job of chief executive, and David Moyes was hired as the team's new manager; they failed to secure all of their first choices, including Fabio Coentrao,...

A look at Man United’s week | Tunde Folawiyo
Those who support United, like Tunde Folawiyo, will probably know that it's been a quite a challenging week for the team.

Man United enjoy much-needed victory in match against West Bromwich| Tunde Folawiyo
Supporters of Man United, like Tunde Folawiyo, are probably aware of the fact that this has been a rather tumultuous season for the club. But in their recent match against West Bromwich, United showed off a level of skill and style which hasn't been seen in many months, ending with a 3-0 victory that has most likely restored many people's faith in the club. It certainly helped that their opponents were somewhat careless in their approach, lacking both confidence and forward-thinking throughout most of the game. The Red Devils were particularly strong during the first half, whilst West Bromwich seemed to struggle. The latter came close to scoring an own goal just 16 minutes in, when Chris...
Red Devils suffer defeat at the hands of Olympiakos | Tunde Folawiyo
As a fan of Manchester United, Tunde Folawiyo was doubtless disappointed by the team's recent 2-0 loss against Olympiakos. The Reds performance was erratic at best, with the players offering their opponents far too much space, and failing in almost all of their efforts to retain possession of the ball. Olympiakos took the lead early on in the first half, when a rather unimpressive long-range shot by Maniatis was diverted by his teammate Dominguez, and flicked straight into the net. Their second goal came after the interval, and was delivered by Joel Campbell, after Carrick was unsuccessful in his attempt to steal the ball from the forward. For United's supporters, the most frustrating...

Will United qualify for next season’s Champion League? | Tunde Folawiyo
Currently, Man United are in seventh place in the Champions League - a fact which has not escaped the attention of the media. Hostile headlines calling for Moyes' resignation, and awkward questions regarding the possibility of United failing to secure a place next season, have become all too prevalent over the past couple of months.
