The Red Devils’ loyal fans stick with the club through thick and thin, and we like to reward them with a wide array of articles looking at the good, the bad and the ugly (Luke Chadwick being the ugliest) the Old Trafford giants offer up.
Since November is fairly fee of notable events, we’ve decided to brighten up your winter time with the best bits of United stuff we have to offer… There are some crackers…

FIVE January reinforcements to secure Man United’s CL spot
Louis van Gaal still has faith in his Manchester United side catching up with Premier League leaders Chelsea.
But after coming away from the Manchester derby with a 1-0, even Champions League qualification could be a push for the Red Devils this season.
Luckily, the January window is looming closer, giving LvG the perfect opportunity to add some reinforcements that can improve his side’s chances of making it into the Premier League’s top four.
And just in case he’s short on a few ideas, we at Football FanCast have listed FIVE.

Why Man United’s maligned midfielder could be vital to Van Gaal’s first season
Marouane Fellaini came to epitomise everything that went wrong at Old Trafford last season.
His cumbersome, attritional nature symbolised the negative philosophy Manchester United adopted under David Moyes, just as his £28million transfer fee agreed on deadline day – £6million more than the release clause United had bizarrely allowed to expire a fortnight earlier – symbolised Ed Woodward’s failure to attract top talent to the club during summer 2013.

FIVE stars of the future Manchester United can turn to
Manchester United currently find themselves in quite a strange position. Despite widespread strengthening of the squad over the summer, which saw them spend in excess of £150million – the most by any team in European football – a spate of injuries in defence, coupled with the decision to prioritise big-name attacking players over reinforcing their back line in their transfer dealings, has forced United boss Louis van Gaal to turn to unproven youth in the opening stages of the Premier League season.
However, the Dutchman is accustomed to dealing with youngsters, and may even relish the opportunity to do so again at Old Trafford.
Well-known for launching the careers of several world-class footballers, he gave Xavi and Andres Iniesta their debuts for Barcelona in his time there and now Van Gaal has a number of promising young players at his disposal, and may look to embrace United’s long-standing tradition of developing talent into potential champions. Though emulating the feats of Sir Alex Ferguson’s now-mythical Class of ’92 is a tough act to follow, here are five youngsters that may have important roles to play under Louis van Gaal at Manchester United.

Man United boss makes for a refreshing change in the Premier League
Premier League managers are a notoriously hypocritical bunch. While defending their own players or ruing a controversial decision by the referee is understandable at any level of the game, the extremes to which many in the top flight’s gaffers take their partisan approach often borders on the absurd.
Depending simply on whether an opposition player or one of the manager’s own is the culprit, a red card for a dangerous challenge, a raised flag for a borderline offside or a booking for a perceived penalty box dive will either be incandescently deplored as a terrible call or praised as the correct one by the chameleonesque manager in a post-match interview, with his opinion on such matters able to change in a remarkably short space of time.

Man United or Arsenal… which should this German ace choose?
There seems to be a trend in modern football. The Premier League has exposed it, the World Cup gave us a few hints and pundits are banging on about it week in, week out. The art or defending is dying, with goals coming thick and fast in the top leagues across Europe, while every ‘emerging starlet’ appears to be either a ‘tricky No. 10’, a ‘goalscoring sensation’ or a ‘wing wizard’.
Gone are the days of 0-0 Champions League knockout games of the mid to early 2000s in which John Terry, Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini, among others, marshalled their backlines to provide fans with tactical thrillers, with mad scoreline increasing normal. Goals are exciting and capture the highlight reels, but the one commodity needed above all other right now is top class centre-backs, of which there are few.
