United Icons: Ruud van Nistelrooy

The Dutch striker scored 150 times for Manchester United and is often considered one of the best of his generation. How good was he? Before we provide a full overview, let's explore one of the best campaigns of his career. Goals at PSV catch the eye He scored 77 goals in 90 matches for PSV. Other clubs were interested but he was seemingly only interested in a move to Old Trafford. In the spring of 2000, he looked set to complete a club record £18.5 million transfer to Manchester United.  He was to be unveiled at a press conference four days later, but this was instead used to announce that the transfer had been postponed over concerns about his fitness.  Not long after, he suffered a rupture to his anterior cruciate knee ligaments during a training session, leaving him injured for a year. Eventual move and success at Manchester United In his first season at Old Trafford, he scored 36 goals in 49 appearances.  One of his best performances came in a 3-2 FA Cup win over Aston Villa.

United Review: Late Garnacho win seals United win

 Fulham 1 - 2 Manchester United How important could this win be at the end of the season? Manchester United snatched a dramatic stoppage time winner through substitute Alejandro Garnacho as they beat Fulham in a thrilling final Premier League match before the Qatar World Cup. In what was a frantic second half at Craven Cottage, Fulham looked to have earned a point before the 18-year-old Argentine raced through and arrowed a shot into the bottom corner past the former Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno. Match highlights.

Christian Eriksen had previously put the visitors ahead in the first half with his first United goal, sliding in to finish at the back post from a low cross from Bruno Fernandes. But Garnacho's w

United review: The reds progress in the EFL Cup

 Manchester United 4 - 2 Aston Villa The Red Devils progress in the EFL Cup and face Burnley in the next round. Despite leading twice, Villa had no answer to Alejandro Garnacho's direct running as the Argentina winger became the youngest United player to claim two assists in a game as he created goals for Bruno Fernandes and then Scott McTominay, with a brilliant long pass into the heart of the visitors box .   Video credit -  Manchester United - YouTube While the highlights of a tepid opening period were a needless yellow card for a clumsy tackle by Harry Maguire on Ollie Watkins and two speculative set-pieces by Douglas Luiz and Fernandes, the action after the break was electric. It took Villa just three minutes to take the lead as Watkins finished superbly past Martin Dubravka after being sent clear by Jacob Ramsey. The smoke from a flare set off in celebration of Villa's opener had not even begun to clear by the time Fernandes crossed for Anthony Martial to equalise a m

United Review: Man United lose at Villa Park

 Aston Villa 3 - 1 Manchester United A stunning start to Unai Emery's reign at Aston Villa after an awful performance by Manchester United. Quick summary of a nightmare afternoon for Manchester United Aston Villa were excellent, and they thoroughly deserve their win. The 3-1 defeat was not a fluke scoreline. United's goal was a fluke but other than that, Villa were excellent and could probably have scored more goals. This was how United lined up at Villa Park. They were shocked as Villa raced into a 2-0 lead. Luke Shaw's deflected effort gave them hope but Villa were 3-1 up by 49th minute. It was then a very straightforward afternoon for the Villains. 🚨 TEAM NEWS! 🚨 Erik makes one change from Thursday's win in Spain, with @MarcusRashford coming in for the suspended @B_Fernandes8 . #MUFC || #AVLMUN — Manchester United (@ManUtd) November 6, 2022 European Super Football (eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com) The best chance of the second half came to Dalot.

It was a night to remember for teenager Garnacho, as the 19-year-old swept home his first senior goal for the club in the first half, after some clever play in the build-up involving Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes.
