  • Giggsy is 1/4 black.

  • Pat is one of 23 siblings and could field a full 11 a side game with his brothers and sisters.

  • Chicha has a business administration degree from Mexico.

  • Mark Hughes once played two games in a single day; In the morning he played for Wales against Czechoslovakia in Prague, drove across the border, and then turned out for Bayern Munich in the afternoon.

  • Cole and Sheringham, one of United's most successful striking partnerships, hated each other.

  • Sir Alex and Kenny Dalglish are actually friends off the field. Sir Alex wrote the foreword to Kenny's autobiography.

  • Alan Smith got a lot of abuse from Leeds fans when he transferred to us for £7m in 2004. But in doing so he basically saved Leeds from going under as they desperately needed the money and United were the only ones willing to pay the fee.

  • Phil and Gaz's dad was called Neville Neville.

  • Zlatan almost quit football for a job in manual labor.

  • Rooney has the words "Just enough education to perform" on his arm. It's a reference to a song by Stereophonics.

  • Only Henry, Andy Cole and Rooney have scored more goals against Liverpool than Jamie Carragher.

  • Giggsy has never received a red card for United in his entire career.

  • Chicha was born just to fuck with Chelsea.

  • Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was sent off just after 38 seconds against us in his last ever North-West Derby.

Only Henry and Andy Cole have scored more goals against Liverpool than Jamie Carragher.

Holy shit that is actually hilarious

Fuck me, I missed out Rooney too. Only him, Henry and Cole have scored more goals against Liverpool than Jamie Carragher. Sorry, it's 11am, I just woke up and I'm not fully awake yet.

Why did Cole and Teddy hate each other? I was unaware of this!

[–]GaudiumInfinitusIbrahimovic 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

On mobile so can't find the evidence, but I believe it started when Cole came on for Sheringham for his first England cap. Sheringham refused to acknowledge him or shake his hand.

It was early 1995, I had recently signed for Manchester United, and it was my England debut, against Uruguay. I was a sub. I came on for Sheringham (then at Spurs), after about 70 minutes. You'll need to understand what was in my head at that moment to get even close to comprehending my reaction to what happened next.

I was so nervous it was frightening. This was the culmination of a lifetime of ambition. You hear the cliché, "It means everything to play for my country". But trust me, it did. Not just for me, but for my family, my parents especially, who had endured all kinds of hardships to give us the chances we had. Becoming a pro had been incredible. Now the magnitude of playing for England was indescribable. The moment has arrived.

I walk on to the pitch, 60,000 or so watching. Sheringham is coming off. I expect a brief handshake, a "Good luck, Coley", something. I am ready to shake. He snubs me. He actively snubs me, for no reason I was ever aware of then or since. He walks off. I don't even know the bloke so he can't have any issue with me. We're fellow England players, it is my debut and he snubs me.

You know what my immediate thoughts were? "Jesus Christ! How many people just saw Teddy Sheringham do that to me?" I was embarrassed. I was confused. And there you have it. From that moment on, I knew Sheringham was not for me.

Two years later, in summer 1997, after Eric Cantona left United, Sheringham arrived. We played together for years. We scored a lot of goals. I never spoke a single word to him.

People wonder how on earth we could function like that. Gary Pallister once said to me: "I know you don't speak to Teddy and he doesn't speak to you, but at least you play well together." We did, and I wouldn't ever cast aspersions on Sheringham's talent as a top-rate footballer for his clubs and country. I've just loathed him personally for 15 years.

This is great. People don't mention Hughes much anymore.....what a player he was for us.

Great facts but with regards to the Rooney and Alderley one, it's actually Prestbury

[–]ballsywallsyBerbalove 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Damn, you're right. For some reason I assumed he lived in Alderley Edge along with Carrick and Ferdinand. I just changed it.

Rashford got his A-Level results last week (18th Aug) - Thankfully no newspaper has revealed it

[–]MrBabineaux1Valencia 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

I thought he was doing B-tec business?

[–]AxelniteThe Three Amigos 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

There was suggestions he had a chemistry test the following day after he scored a winner.

So he couldn't have been doing BTEC business mate. Can't remember the name of the 6th form tho

Juan Mata may look like a loveable bearded babyface, but did you know that his infamous hugs are actually a ploy to eliminate any teammates threatening his spot in the squad?

That's right.

The Mata hug started in the 2013/14 season after one of his love cuddles got a little bit too aggressive when he broke the ribs of Antonio Valencia putting him out for the rest of the season and securing a spot in RW for? You guessed it...

Juan Mata.

The hugs became a more frequent occurrence. Depay started brightly for us last year until Mata learned he could play RW. So what happened when Depay scored? BAM. Mata hug. 3 broken ribs. Phil Jones was a frequent victim. One day after training after the rest of the squad left the changing rooms Mata hugged Jones to the floor for several minutes. 17 caretakers had to pry him off Jones with their mop handles.

Phil Jones isn't in contention for Juan's spot. Mata just doesn't like him.

Ever wondered why the players run from each other when they score? That's right.

Juan Mata.

    I think Bastian used to pretty good at skiing when he was a kid and had to choose between football and skiing. Also had the chance to play for Bayerns basketball team but didn't because of fear of getting hurt.

    Rooney has the most goals in Arsenal-United rivalry.
