I wrote books about Manchester United in the 70s, 80s & 90s. Thought it was about time I got stuck into the noughties one. I've been meeting the players and speaking to them about a remarkable time at MUFC.

MCFC and Liverpool. The two greatest teams ever. What a rivalry. MCFC with their 0 European Cups, Liverpool with one title since 1990. It really does mean more, this one.

Axel Tuanzebe's life story is an inspiration to millions. Kid arrived from Congo aged 4 and didn't speak English. Grafted at school and got excellent grades. Captained MUFC at every level.
Pity the rancid, faceless, racists who abuse him and the platforms which propagate it.

The €120 Barça are charging MUFC fans for Camp Nou is the most expensive ticket in MU's history outside of a final. MUFC will now increase cost of Barça's tickets at OT to €120...and use difference to subsidise ticket prices for travellers to Camp Nou down to £75.

Axel Tuanzebe had captained MUFC at every age level bar the first team. Tonight he captains the first team against Rochdale, the town where he grew up in after arriving from DR Congo aged four - with no English, only French and Lingala. At 16 he got As and A stars in his GCSEs.

Bobby Charlton saw close friends die at Munich. He helped lead Manchester United's recovery to become English, then European champions. For decades the club's record goal and appearance holder, he was a World Cup winner and European player of the year too. What a life. RIP.

Maguire, James and Bissaka were desperate to play for MUFC. Dybala wasn't. Only excessive amounts of £ could have changed that. MU not as attractive as they were to best talents, but it's still better to have players who want to join rather repeat errors for mercenaries.

Offer Ole and his coaches the jobs full time. He's had 17 games, won 14, drawn two and lost one. MUFC have won every away games under him. He's earned it. And send his wife some flowers for looking after their 3 kids while he works away in sunnier climes. Ole's at the wheel!

Horrendous result and performance for MUFC. One of the worst.

Mata staying at MUFC is positive. Nobody expects him to start every week, but he’s an experienced, popular, versatile and very decent footballer. He’s an even better person - a rare gem in an industry full of bullshit.

Manchester United 1 Fulham 0. For all the flaws, I enjoyed that and Old Trafford felt alive.

Manchester United win a first trophy for almost six years. Delighted players go to fans. GGMU echoes around Wembley. Newcastle played well and their fans sang to the end. But it’s about MUFC, Ten Hag and his team. He’s done a superb job. Top four and a trophy.

Garnacho's mother came up to buy a UWS at Arsenal away in April. She was in the away end, curious and asked what UWS was. She said: "My son plays with this team" and pointed to the MU players. "He's called Alejandro."

Son grabs at McTominay's shirt while he's in possession. He bats him off - that's a natural reaction from any footballer. Ref was presented with half second of footage - not enough. Didn't show the context. Atrocious decision followed. Surprised at Son going to ground like that.

Hoped Lukaku would become a great MUFC striker, but he wasn’t playing in a great MUFC team. He started well, faded, then rightly lost his place and the confidence of a lot fans. He could’ve won it back, but it’s his career. Clearly a goalscorer. Good luck.
