Your dad and other family members sit right behind us in J Stand @ Old Trafford. He let's on to us every game, smiles & you can tell he is brimming with pride every time you walk on that field. Your play has inspired two great victories this week keep on doing what you're doing😀
1/12/87 Alex Ferguson makes his one & only appearance playing for Man Utd. The game was a mid-season friendly v Somerset Trojans at the Somerset Cricket Ground, Bermuda. Fergie (age 45) came on for Peter Davenport 21 mins from time. Utd won 4-1 (Wilson McClair Archie Knox Olsen)
Don't know how long this fella's going to manage my team but I applaud him 100% for throwing all those forwards on for that last 10 minutes to try & win. Not seen that too often since 2013. THAT'S the United way, THAT'S what we've been missing - & it worked 👏👏👏👏👏

I'm sure I'm not alone, when that 2nd one went in I realised I haven't celebrated a United goal with such intense passion for around 7 years. A goal when shouting screaming jumping up & down hugging the person next to you isn't enough. You feel you're going to burst with joy.
For what my opinion’s worth this is a top, top banner. Better than any critical comments on social media. Turn up at the ground, make it concise/relevant/prominent 👏👏👏❤️🤍🖤

By far the best sustained atmosphere at Old Trafford today in the last 5 years. Mourinho & LVG never really grasped that once you energise that stadium with passionate football you unleash a force that's hard to combat & great to be a part of.

at heart ❤️🤍🖤 The finale is almost Shakespearian ..... 🧐
Never in 59 years watching United @ OT have I heard chants from Reds of 🎶You're not fit to wear the shirt🎶 Nor the chant 5 mins l8r telling a player in red to F**k Off. Usually I'd be appalled or worry I'd lost my moral compass but these turgid performances warrant such reward
Just seen the interview Ole gave to MUTV. That takes some guts & loyalty on the day you're sacked from the best job in the world. Talk about Smile Whilst Your Heart Is Breaking? This man did his best for my club, as a player, as a manager. I'll always respect that. Good luck Ole
Saddened & shocked to learn of Ian Stirling's passing. Devoted knowledgable

fan. Tireless campaigner for MUST, Singing Section (pre-TRA) etc Brought Reds together, United was his watchword. Genuinely lovely man, warm kind, always smiling. My thoughts are with his family❤️
Never in 57 years have I witnessed a defeat at Old Trafford that left me so numb. The one shining light was the incredible support on the terraces as the Busby Babes calypso reverberated around the ground for that last 20 minutes. Manc defiance at it its finest 👏👏👏👏👏
The first time that humans set foot on the moon is still remembered, celebrated & cherished across the world. Who recalls the SECOND moon landing? 🤔 No one. Absolutely no one .................... 😏❤️🤍🖤

@Fellaini
joined Man United at the start of one of their most turbulent times in the last 60 years. Yet he battled for the shirt in all of his 177 appearances and scored some crucial goals in the 22 he netted. Earned the respect of fans and managers alike
The manner of their passing shall be carried like a banner, borne high by all who should come after. Their story will be told wherever people cherish deeds of good report. Theirs is the glory

Ah well the tree's stripped bare, baubles back in the box; cake, chocolates & mince pies eaten. Tomorrow it's back to work, the traffic will be a bloody nightmare & folk will bore me with their diet plans/dry January. So take a moment, salute the 2 people who saved Christmas 2018
Ah well, another new season, me 55th watching United. Still get the same buzz as when I walked down Trafford Road all those years ago with my ol' fella. Whatever happens over the next 9 months I wouldn't miss it for the world. Up the Reds and thanks Bill Molyneux.
Just to confirm...... another season goes by and Manchester United are still the ONLY football team to win The English Treble. Here's a reminder what it looks like in case you need it .........
Never known anything like this in 54 years watching United - possibly best result in our history. And United have some history!! Sensational

And yet even with that 'winning pedigree' it took Fergie 7 years to make
#MUFC
English Champions. It took Matt Busby the same length of time. Only one other Utd manager, Ernest Mangnall in 1908, has won us the top title. He took 5 years. Building something that lasts takes time
Lazy argument. Fergie came to United with a winning pedigree and deserved the patience he was ultimately afforded. Ole has no pedigree and his club currency is running out every time he puts McFred on the lineup card.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the second greatest player I’ve ever seen in a United shirt in 58 years attending matches. Only George Best surpasses his genius. Yet this is a bad judgement call by the man. We will love him forever for the 03-09 era but now it’s time to say goodbye. ❤️🤍🖤

Hi Swanny - yes I can confirm the owner DID see & enjoy all the glory years that followed. He still follows

with the same passion he had when he first fell in love with Man United in 1963. He has the same seat in Old Trafford that he had in December '89. 🙂😉

🎶 The first was by Bobby who outjumped the rest………. the crowd they were chanting and shouting for more, so Bobby obliged by making it four. So the team to remember, the team to recall, is Manchester United the best team of all🎶 ❤️🤍🖤 God bless you Bobby
#Wembley68
Sorry Lee, Fergie's opening 4 years at United saw very poor football, inconsistent results & crowds down to 33k. Since 1910 only 2 men have made United Champions of England. Busby & Fergie. Both took 7 years to achieve their first title. But they built something to last.
So relieved ETH's been given time to prove himself. The measure of a person is how they respond when the chips are down. Last month, despite shabby treatment by many, he kept his dignity ducked no questions then won the Cup. For me he's already on his way to becoming an OT legend

@gordonhill54
weaved his magic at OT 75-78 playing football with a grin & a swagger; excited the Utd faithful with superb dribbling & shooting skills. His brace in 76 FA Cup SF will live forever in the memory of Reds who saw the game
@UtdBeforFergie
This has been my mantra for 58 years following

. It always will be. When the call comes stand up and fight for what we hold dear. The battle against ESL won't be won on Twitter it will be won in the streets around OUR ground & in our cities.
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow,
To run where the brave dare not go......
Stay strong Sir Alex and a speedy recovery. God bless yer
Easily THE best & most enjoyable 90-minute performance by Man United in 18 months, especially at OT. We played without fear & with flair, mistakes made were immediately forgiven by a crowd that recognised a team going out to play the United way. Well done Ole Gunnar & Mike Phelan
So gutted about the performance & result at OT today. Only 3rd game but if felt like another match from that nightmare run at the end of last season. But we must keep in in perspective, hope it's a one-off & stay fully behind Solskjaer. No solution is ever found in panic

Well it's 'death or glory' tonight for England's finest ever football team. Whatever the outcome we'll put on a great display on & off the field. Heading to Manchester Airport now with the same buzz I had as a kid in the '60s watching United take on Europe's best

Well that's my plan Dean. Current manager 10 months into the job & has had one proper transfer window (Jan 19 can't count). Sacking previous 3 managers after short tenancy hasn't worked. OGS is trying to build a team who want to play for the shirt. He deserves our support
I’ve been vocally behind Ten Hag all the way so far. Tonight he made a seismic tactical error. After our 3rd goal (67mins) we hardly attacked the Shed End & conceded the impetus to Chelsea sitting on that lead. That’s not the United way. Not with 23 mins left. Never will be.
Everyone, male or female, needs a rock even the greatest that walk amongst us. In football terms Sir Alex was our rock; but Lady Cathy was his. My sincerest condolences go to the whole Ferguson family for their loss. May she rest in peace ✝️
