Right who has a Delorean parked up in their Garage check to see if its still there.  it's like Back to the Future this transfer window with Henry , maybe Scholes who next ?

United are really struggling when there is talk of Scholes coming out of retirement. Maybe they could bring Beckham back on loan as well.

United are at a crossroads really, they were poor for large parts of last season but largely down to Ferguson they have consistently been able to get results over the last few years, when they have relied on individuals such as Ronaldo and Rooney.

Without serious investment they will slip futher back, when you look at the spine of the team, a lot of the players are past their best, Evra,Ferdinand,Giggs etc.

Watching the documentary on Rte over Christmas it will be interesting to see if Ferguson retires or will lurk around Old Trafford stalking his successor when the time comes.

No, United won a CL tie in between those fixtures.

1996/97 Oct-Nov was a shocking set of results for United if my memory serves me right the only win they got was v Arsenal.

Don't know what you talking about  BTW good memory Dinny, the final three fixtures in a season United won the league in April & beat 2nd place Arsenal 6-1.

[ONeill]

I wonder if Utd have ever conceded at least three goals in three consecutive games?

Not a serious question, of course, but if Madrid offered you 30 million for Rooney in the morning would you take it.

I would and I'd do a runner. I once sold O'Connell bridge to a new TD from Kerry.
