IT’S OWEN HARGREAVES, NOT JIMMY GREAVES Manchester United’s highly perceptive fans are renowned the world over for their accurate football analysis. They have spent much of the last few years rightly denouncing their over-the-hill Premiership-winning manager, writing the club’s eptiaph after the Glazer takeover and correctly predicted that United would win nothing with the likes […]
