Very pleased that my book, United With Dad, is published today. It’s the culmination of a lot of hard work and the end of a process that helped me deal with all that went on towards the end of my dad’s life. The feedback I’ve received already has been incredible.
Thank you ❤️
My son put the hands on his new Lego dinosaur the wrong way up and now it looks like an frustrated Serie A defender after the referee blows up for a soft penalty against him

Harry Maguire still in police custody as Manchester United express reluctance at paying the entrie bail fee this summer. They prefer to spread the cost over two years with a series of add-ons.
So much time for how Chris Smalling has embraced his move to Italy. Another goal last night, mastered the language for the post-match interviews. Happy for him
Drury must be livid. Staying up all night penning all that flowery stuff, only to be completely upstaged by Gary Nevillle’s Blue Billion Pound Bottlejobs ™ line
BREAKING: After exhausting every imaginable option, Premier League bosses are considering playing remaining fixtures under the actual sea with clubs recruiting dolphins and other marine life as players to avoid the spread of coronavirus. The season must end, one way or another.
Mad that Adrian and Alisson are Liverpool's two senior goalkeepers and not just a couple from Doncaster that your parents befriended on that holiday to Mallorca when you were a kid.
Can't stop thinking about Coleen Rooney concocting a story about going to Mexico for gender selection treatment to catch out who was grassing on her private life. Absolutely outstanding.
Tim Sherwood, April 1912:
“Yeah, nah, y’know, I’m not worried about this thing sinking. I mean, it could come back to bite me, but this is one of the finest ocean liners ever constructed by the White Star Line. Icebergs would just bounce off it. I’m not worried at all.”
Forget their 115 charges, how have Manchester City been allowed to play RB Leipzig at home in their last 17 Champions League games without anyone doing anything about it? It’s a disgrace.
🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo scores two goals on penalty for Al Nassr and makes it 5️⃣3️⃣ goals in 2023 calendar year.
Current situation 👟✨
◉ Cristiano Ronaldo — 53
◎ Harry Kane — 52
◉ Kylian Mbappé — 52
◎ Erling Haaland — 50
These are once-in-a-lifetime limbs. You can spend your lifetime following Manchester United winning multiple trophies from your sofa and never experience a moment like this. This right here is what it’s all about.
Encouraging to hear Manchester United are finalising deals for Sancho, Dembele, Telles, Cavani, Jovic, Sneijder, Gaitan, Steed Malbranque, Santiago Muñez, and Jonathan Wilkes.
Rooney going in on Van Dijk mentioning the 12:30 kick-off thing again: “That Liverpool side should want to be back on the pitch tomorrow…. We’ve heard it so many times this season with Liverpool and 12:30 kick-offs. Get on with it. That’s part of your job.”
Solskjaer wanted a right-sided forward, a left-back and a central defender this window. He got none. First game: starting right-sided forward is hooked at half-time and the central defender and left-back he'd replace play a hand in all goals conceded. You couldn't write it.
The Glazers borrowed over half a billion to buy United, made the club pay the interest and milked god-knows-how-much more out for themselves over 17 years. And now they’ll walk away with billions. It’s a scandal it was ever allowed to happen in the first place
So long Wesley Sneijder. I’ll never forget how you joined Manchester United for £48.3m in 2011, formed a telepathic understanding with Nicolás Gaitán, set up Thiago Alcântara’s 2012 Champions League final winner and were instrumental in David Moyes’ first league title win in 2014
It’s Dion Dublin’s birthday next Wednesday. Let’s throw him a surprise. At 9am 22nd April, we are calling on the whole country to sing Happy Birthday from our windows and doorsteps. Let our song bring good cheer not just to Dion Dublin but to the whole nation

Jadon Sancho to Manchester United is nearly done. It’s been nearly done for a long, long time, but this time it really is a lot more nearly done than ever before.
Alexis Sanchez could’ve got the move away from United he so desperately craved much sooner had he been willing to take a smaller wage elsewhere. I guess he wasn’t quite as desperate as he makes out. He badly underperformed and was more than replaced by an actual child. Move on.
If Ronaldinho had just pulled off what Jack Grealish has done there for England it would be really weird because he is 40, retired and not eligible to play for England
The joke's on City, to be honest. All that money spent since 2008 and, nearly 15 years on, United are still playing European glamour ties against Barcelona while they face an energy drink company pretending to be a football club
Gary Neville said something on a recent podcast about his dad, about how he's not deleted his name from his contact list from his phone, and it's really stayed with me. I'm the same. Can't bring myself to do it either.
It’s still possible for United to win four trophies this season. They’ve just put Barcelona out of Europe. Loud chants of ‘We want Glazers out’ after the second goal and again at full-time. Worth noting for those who argue that stuff only happens when they aren’t winning
France are only naming ten of their starting lineup for the Australia game. Antoine Griezmann is going to reveal if he is the eleventh in a special documentary that's set to air minutes before kick off.
