Manchester United's proud record of having not lost a Champions League group game on their own ground for eight years is still intact, rescued by another one of those feats of escapology in which Sir Alex Ferguson's team specialise. Paul Scholes's 81st-minute header and a stoppage-time own goal rescued them from a 3-1 deficit in a stunning finish to a game that laid bare United's frailties. There...

Sir Alex Ferguson should let his team do the talking – we've all heard enough The day will come, attended by trumpets and glorious sunshine piercing the clouds, when Sir Alex Ferguson admits that righteousness exists outside Old Trafford and the confines of his own mind.

Sir Alex Ferguson elected to pick a completely different starting XI than that which started Sunday’s derby match for the visit of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carling Cup on Wednesday evening. This may have been a so-called second string but no fewer than eight internationals started the game for United, with the likes of Michael Carrick, Nani, Michael Owen and Gary Neville all on the pitch...
Manchester United may not regard the Carling Cup with enduring affection but the holders still seem to regard it as a matter of duty not to relinquish the trophy. Sir Alex Ferguson's team had to play for an hour last night with 10 men after Fabio da Silva's first-half sending-off but still managed to navigate a safe passage into the fourth round courtesy of Daniel Welbeck's 66th-minute strike.
