The new United We Stand is printing. Smell that ink, feel that gloss. Bit relieved as Baleba's on the cover. Didn't want that to fall through. Out v Ipswich. Subscribe by midnight (Tues) and we’ll post the next 10 mags (also a Direct D option in UK)

The first ever Brit awards in Manchester opens with Des Styles’ son, Harry. Father and son both MUFC fans and have long gone to games.

Protest outside Old Trafford.

Players in front of away end

Honestly can’t believe what has happened at Bodø Glimt since I visited in 2019 (and they let me in the dressing room with a bee) One of the great stories of modern football. No benefactor, snow, warmth. Kjetil Knutsen. The wonderful Berg family. Patrick (MU fan) MOM v Lazio

This is so shit

Outside the MetLife stadium.

I’ve come to Millwall, South London.

Dublin. Keeping up the run of heavy rain before MUFC’s summer friendlies in Europe. We’re trying to keep our uws copies dry.

Barranco Wall, Kilimanjaro. 7am Saturday. Please keep the pennies coming. This is hard.

Athletic fans at the end. Proper backing their team. Superb noise here tonight.

MUFCW 2 PSG 1. Top result. Third straight win in the Champions League. Belting goals for both teams. Have a safe trip back to your French village

Lads getting the UWS mags ready for tonight at Old Trafford. Final home game of a long, hard, season. Hoping it doesn’t rain again

Manchester United training before the Bayern Munich game.

Thanks to everyone who came to see Coley be asked qs by myself in Belfast tonight. Been invited to a rave after. I’m probably the oldest person here. What a city.

Started telling the players a day in advance that they’re in my list of Manchester United’s greatest players for The Athletic | Football Just received this back from number 18, published tomorrow after I’ve spoken to more who played with him.

6,714 Bodø Glimt fans. Biggest ever away following at Old Trafford for a European town with MUFC. And this was before they scored twice

I spoke to Luke Shaw after the game last night for Sony Sports Network

Polish MUFC fans welcome Andy Cole, who travelled to meet them with Pete Boyle this weekend. Loads turned up, with money raised for charity too.

Six hours after leaving Manchester and we’re coming into Bournemouth. The coach will get back at around 4am. But first, bring on United.

Might have to rate the fans tonight

A video message

This was Lyon last week. Packed end well before kick-off. Noise throughout. Got right behind their team. And they’ll do the same tonight because they, too, are set on Bilbao. From St Etienne to Marseille or PSG, French clubs have been among the loudest at Old Trafford.

Spoke to this man after the game. Part 1.

PAOK. Now that’s an away following

Huge protest on Sir Matt Busby Way

Brilliant crowd in Dublin tonight at Talk of the Devils live. Everyone right behind Joshua Zirkzee

Just been on ⁦Sky Sports News⁩

Galatasaray all over the main stand and north stand. Never heard chants in the directors box before either.

A huge amount of work has gone into this and I’ve worked with some brilliant people. I hope you’re going to enjoy it. Here’s the trailer.

Another Barcelona derby. Sant Andreu v Europa (from the barrio of Gràcia). Famous old clubs. Spain’s regional fourth tier. Sell out game. Atmosphere bouncing. The crowd is completely different to that at Barça earlier.
