Train full of West Ham. There were songs about Luděk Mikloško, who died this week. I interviewed him a couple of years ago about ‘95. Couldn’t have been nicer. RIP. Andy Cole didn’t want to listen to the interview.

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.

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 Stretford End after the fifth went in on Thursday.

Came out for a quiet pint in a historic public house in Newcastle.

Players in front of away end

Just found this which I took of Copenhagen fans the other night.

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.

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.

I’ve come to Millwall, South London.

Last minute pen away in the FA Cup against a team two divisions higher. David Worrall, a MUFC fan originally from Clayton in Manchester, stands up to take it. Jacob May (David’s nephew) jumps in on the celebration. £2,250 prize money and a place in next round for Trafford FC

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Might have to rate the fans tonight

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
