by Philip Mboya on October 14, 2011

Rafael Benitez the former Liverpool and Inter Milan coach believes that Manchester United have been successful under Sir Alex Ferguson’s reign due to the club’s massive wealth.

Since taking over as coach of the Reds in 2004 from Valencia, Benitez was only fortunate enough to help Liverpool the only major title they have won in the 6 years since – the Champions League won in 2005. Read more... (405 words, 1 image, estimated 1:37 mins reading time)

by David on October 6, 2011

The news that Wayne Rooney’s father and uncle Richie were arrested today over allegations of a football betting scam has to have set off alarm bells at Old Trafford as well as the English FA.

The arrests were in relation to a game between Motherwell and Hearts in December last year in which Motherwell midfielder Steve Jennings was arrested after allegedly getting himself sent off deliberately during the match.

It is believed that there was a pattern of irregular betting, with stakes being put on a red card being given. One was allegedly from a new account opened in Liverpool, from where £500 was staked at odds of 10/1. Read more... (275 words, 2 images, estimated 1:06 mins reading time)

United were three up at half-time with goals from Chris Smalling, Nani and Wayne Rooney as Chelsea contributed to their own downfall courtesy of poor defending and a dismal failure to take the chances that came their way.

Fernando Torres, lively throughout, scored his first goal of the season with a fine finish just after half-time, but that goal will be overlooked after his astonishing late miss at the Stretford End when he shot wide of an open goal after rounding United goalkeeper David de Gea.
