Man United draw with Bayern Munich | Tunde Folawiyo
Man United's 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich at Old Trafford is likely to have left many Red Devils' fans, including Tunde Folawiyo, disappointed. However, despite the unimpressive result, the two teams were well-matched, and the game itself was an entertaining one to watch. Danny Welbeck was given the first opportunity to score, but his efforts proved fruitless, after the referee chose to penalise him for a high foot. It wasn't until the 58th minute that United took the lead, when Vidic performed a powerful header that soared straight into the net. Bayern Munich were quick to equalise, with Bastian Schweinteiger scoring just eight minutes later; however, this moment of glory was fleeting, as...
Man United triumph over Crystal Palace | Tunde Folawiyo
For those who support Man United, like Tunde Folawiyo, the results of the team's recent clash with Crystal Palace probably came as quite a relief. United emerged from the match victorious, with a final tally of 2-0. However, both goals came during the second half; for much of the first, it was unclear who would win. Man United played rather inconsistently, with moments of careless footwork interrupting their usual skilful performance. Whilst they did create a number of scoring opportunities before the interval, none were successful, with Januzaj netting a goal which ended up being disallowed due to a handball, and Nemanja Vidic's header, from three yards away, landing just wide of the net....
Man United draw with Arsenal | Tunde Folawiyo
Manchester United's recent match against Arsenal ended with a draw which most likely came as a great disappointment to Tunde Folawiyo, and other United supporters. Although the game itself was fast-paced, spectators were left frustrated, as neither the Red Devils nor the Gunners managed to score. Just two minutes into the first half, Robin Van Persie snatched the ball away from the midfielder Mikel Arteta, and almost netted a goal; unfortunately, his efforts were foiled by Arsenal's keeper, Wojciech Szczesny, who performed a skilful save. Arsenal were equally enthusiastic - and equally unsuccessful - throughout the first half, with Olivier Giroud delivering a powerful header which ended up...

Man United trounce Cardiff 2-0 | Tunde Folawiyo
Manchester United has picked up another three Premier League points, following their defeat over Cardiff City. This was a welcome reprieve from the recent losses that the Red Devils have experienced at the hands of Tottenham, Swansea and Chelsea.

Man United suffer loss at the hands of Stoke City | Tunde Folawiyo
Man United's recent match against Stoke City was what many described as dismal; plagued by poor weather and bad luck, this was not the Red Devils' finest performance. Stoke's 2-1 win is likely to have left many fans of Man United, including Tunde Folawiyo disappointed, as it means that the team are that much further away from winning the Premier League title. The weather at Britannia Stadium certainly didn't make things easier for either side, with icy temperatures, rain and wind having a considerable impact on the players' ability to remain on their feet, and in control of the ball; however, Stoke appeared to adjust to the unforgiving conditions far quicker than their opponents. During...

With speculation surrounding Moyes' suitability as a manager, the club's recent transfer decisions, and the team's highly inconsistent performance throughout the Premier League, it seems impossible to predict, with any real certainty, which direction the club is heading in.

The striker is taking what he calls a...
