Marouane Fellaini facing three match ban after FA violent conduct charge

The Manchester United midfielder and Leicester City defender Robert Huth have been charged by the FA for violent conduct.

This follows an incident in the first half when both teams meet at Old Trafford, where Fellaini was caught on camera elbowing Huth, after the defender pulled Fellaini's hair.

The duo have until 6pm of Wednesday 4-5-2016 to respond to the charge.

An official statement from the FA reads thus:

"Marouane Fellaini and Robert Huth have both been charged for alleged acts of violent conduct which were not seen by the match officials but caught on video."

Fellaini will miss three matches if he decides to accept the charge.

He however faces missing up to four matches (which would include the FA Cup finals) if he decides to appeal and is found guilty.

Leicester City on their path have nothing to lose, if Huth is banned as they've already won the League.

Manchester United midfielder rubbish exit talks: Says he's happy in Manchester

Juan Mata has revealed that he is enjoying life in Manchester, amid reports that the playmaker may be preparing for to leave Old Trafford in the summer.

The 28 year old Spanish midfielder joined United from Chelsea after falling out of José Mourinho's starting eleven.

United star doesn't feel any pressure despite his huge transfer fee

Anthony Martial says he doesn't feel any pressure despite being the most expensive teenager in world football.
United paid AS Monaco an initial fee of £36 million which could potentially rise to £57.6 million for the relatively unknown forward.

He has since shone like a million stars at United, and is currently the team's highest goal scorer in all competitions.

"I never feel any extra pressure at all." He told MUTV after receiving his United goal of the season award for his magnificent debut goal against Liverpool.

"The only pressure I feel is the
pressure I put on myself to do well and to work hard throughout the season to help the team.

"That’s what drives me on. I think in that respect it [the price tag] has not affected me." He added.

United youngster can't wait to win the FA Cup

Anthony Martial says he can't wait to get back into the FA Cup, where United are due to play Crystal Palace and win the competition.

The Frenchman's debut goal against Liverpool was voted by fans as the Manchester United's goal of the season. Martial picked up the award on Monday night.

“I can’t wait to go back there and try to win the cup" (FA Cup).
He told MUTV after picking up his award.

The 20 year old scored a number of vital goals in United's journey to the finals.

He scored the all important winner against Everton in the semifinal at Wembley.

He also scored the goal that kept United in the quarterfinals against West Ham at Old Trafford. He now hopes the team can make the fans happy by winning the competition.

"I really hope we manage to win some silverware and obviously with that make the fans happy with the result." He added.

Martial is United's current highest goal scorer with 15 goals in all competitions this season.

Van Gaal: I'm very arrogant but among the best in the world

The Dutchman made a number of bizarre statements at the Manchester United award night held on Monday night.

Van Gaal has received jabs from a number of quarters as being stubborn and cocky.

The United manager however confirmed this on Monday night, when he said he is arrogant, but complemented himself as being one of the best managers in the world.

"I am very arrogant. I am one of the best managers of the world." He said.

Van Gaal also admitted that he can cope with the extreme media pressure he's faced in England, but fears the pressure will affect his players.

"When the media is writing for six months I am sacked already.

"I can cope, with that. It is not new for me. For my players, it is not so easy.

"They are reading every day. What do you think about my authority? What do you think about the way they want to follow my advice, when their coach is showed like a nobody because I cannot do anything?

Strong but true words from an arrogant Van Gaal, whose methods have not brought the best results in his last two seasons at the club.

José Mourinho to make Manchester United decision within the next few days

The former Chelsea manager will take a decision whether to become Man United's next manager or not within the next few days, according to The Telegraph.

The Portuguese is the favorite to replace Van Gaal as United's manager, but there is no official statement from neither camp.

There is still the believe within Old Trafford that Van Gaal can keep his job, if United make the top four (which is still mathematically possible) and win the FA Cup.

According to the report there is a firm Interest from United, but no official agreement has been reached yet.

Mourinho is generally believed to be interested in managing United, but the Portuguese will make a decision based on assurances that he would have the best platform to work, involved in the day to day running of the team, rather than the team's history or pedigree.

Mourinho has stated his desire to return to management next season, and it remains to be seen which club he would finally decide to join.

Manchester United once rejected this Atletico star: Insider reveals

Sky Sports Spanish expert Guillem Balague has said that Manchester United refused to sign Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez when he was offered to them, about eighteen months ago.

The 21 year old has been in superb form for his team this season, scoring nine goals and having four assists to his credit.

His wonderfully taken goal against Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal match took him to another level.

Balague however told Sky Sports La Liga weekly podcast that United and Everton had the opportunity of signing the player.

"Saul was offered to Everton when he was 18, and they said no, and he was offered to Manchester United a year-and-a-half ago and United decided not to go for him." He revealed.

The player has been linked with a move to United after his Champions League exploits, but Barcelona have the first choice of signing the player.

"It's been good that we [himself and Blind] have been able to play so consistently together and learn each other's game. We've been quite solid as a team defensively.

The defender is already looking forward to winning the FA Cup.

"It's nice to win this award tonight, but I'm looking forward to hopefully picking up another trophy at Wembley in a few weeks."

Congrats Chris..
That was an award well deserved.

Picture: David De Gea sets new Manchester United record

Yea, Dave.

Michael Carrick desperate to win the FA Cup

The Manchester United midfielder has opened up that he is desperate to win the FA Cup.

Carrick is one of the most experienced player in the current United squad, and has won all available competitions in the top flight of English football, but the FA Cup has always eluded him.

It is a cup United have not won in since 2004.

Despite their below par season so far, Van Gaal has lead his team to this season's final.

United will face Crystal Palace and the Englishman is eager to win the competition this time.

Speaking at the United's player of the year ceremony, the 34 year old said:

"It is massive. It is far too long since the club has been in it. I am desperate for a winners’ medal."

The competition is United's only hope of a silverware, and the fans can't wait for United to lift that trophy.

United face Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday, 21 May.

Two of these three things must happen for United to make the top four this season

Manchester United head into their last three games of the season, having all to play for.

Currently fifth on the table, and out of qualification for next season's Champions League, United know they blew up a great chance over the weekend with a pedestrian 1-1 draw with champions elect: Leicester City.

United's draw, quickly followed by City's defeat on Sunday meant United threw away a precious chance of closing the gap, or overtaking the Citizens, with United have a game in hand.

As it stands

Pos.    Club.      Played. Points
3.     Arsenal        36          67
4.     Man City      36          64
5.     Man Utd       35          60
6.     West Ham    35          59

From the table, it maybe safe to say the Gunners are almost safe in running for a Champions League spot. Pending any unforeseen circumstance of them losing their last two matches.

Using the table, and the remaining fixtures as a guide, two of these three things must happen for United to make the top four.

1. United must win all their remaining fixtures.

For United to sneak into the top four, Van Gaal's men must first win all their remaining three matches.

United play Norwich first this coming Saturday away, before travelling to Upton park to face West Ham, in what looks like another potential banana peel.

United then host Bournemouth on the last day of the season.

For the Reds to stand a chance of making the top four, it begins with them winning all their matches.

This is non negotiable. Any further slip up, makes it harder than it is right now.

Task possible, depending on how desperate team plays.

2. Arsenal must defeat or draw Manchester City at the Etihad

Both teams will be facing each other on Sunday (May 8). This will be United's last hope to make the top four.

Manchester City hosts the Gunners.

A victory for the Citizens will still put them a point ahead of United, even if United win their two games to level on the same number of games.

A draw will accumulate City's point to 65, while if United will win their two games, they will be on 66 points. That will be a one point lead for United , that will move the Reds into fourth position.

Therefore an Arsenal draw or victory will be what United fans will be hoping for.

With City having a Champions League match with Real on Wednesday, the Gunners will be slight favorite to pick at least a point from the game, which would favour United.

3. Either City or Arsenal lose their last two games

This is the least possible of the three things that can make United crawl into the top four.

If one of the two teams above Unites lose their last two games, and United win it's last three, then Van Gaal's men would make the top four.

Arsenal play City away before hosting an already relegated Aston Villa on the last day of the season.

City on their part play Arsenal at the Etihad, before travelling to Swansea on the last match day of the season.
The probability of this happening bus very very low, but it's football.

Never say never.

Picture: Wayne Rooney off to training with son

The Manchester United skipper returned to training after the team's 1-1 draw with the Foxes on Sunday.

Rooney has been performing well in his new position in the midfield, and United fans will be hoping he will adapt to his new role and get better with time.

He posted a picture of himself and his son in a United kit getting ready for training.

United legend expected a bit more from The Reds against Leicester

Former United captain Roy Keane says he is disappointed with Manchester United's performance in the draw with Leicester.

United had all to play for, with the top four at stake, but find it difficult breaking down a compact Leicester defence.

United also couldn't cope with Leicester's pace at set pieces, and allowed the Foxes back into the game, minutes after Martial had given United the lead.

"I was disappointed with today because I think their form has been pretty good over the last three or four weeks, they had a massive win in the Cup semi-final to score late on." Keane said via independent.

The tenacious former United star felt United lacked real quality in the second half, while he also believed the fans were flat after the game.

"Today I was expecting a bit more, they are still trying to fight for fourth, not that that is anything to be celebrated, but I think United fans will be a bit flat after that performance when there is something to play for and there was no real quality in the second half.

"Even the urgency in the second half. I was expecting an onslaught in the last 15 minutes, throw everything at Leicester but as the game went on I felt if anybody was going to score it was going to be Leicester.

"I am trying to stay positive but it is difficult."

You have to agree with Roy on this.

United lacked the tenacity, extreme desire and courage against the Foxes.

With City later losing in the day, United could have the fourth spot in their grip by now.

But complacency from the manager who was satisfied with the draw, and the players on the pitch means United might have thrown their best opportunity to crawl into the top four away.

Anthony Martial sets new record against Leicester City

The Frenchman is now United's top scorer this season with 15 goals in all competitions.

His last goal against Leicester, was his ninth in the league this season.

It was a record breaking on as well.

His goal scored in the eighth minute was the first time this season Leicester City will concede goal within the first ten minutes of a match.

The Foxes have been built on a solid, compact defence, and have one of the best defences in the League.
