Do you know what would be great. It would be bloody fantastic if Senne Lammens was an incredibly boring keeper. Edwin van der Sar was a truly wonderful boring keeper. Nothing spectacular, you seldomly if ever spoke about him after the game, he just went out and did a solid job.

#OnThisDay 1st of September 2007: Having retired over the summer due to injuries Ole Gunnar Solskjaer received a heroes welcome before our home game against Sunderland

#OnThisDay 31st of August 2004: 18 year old Wayne Rooney signed for Manchester United from Everton for £27m (£33m with add-ons). 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚.....

Two useless bits of information ahead of tomorrow's trip to Grimsby Town. 1️⃣: Out of every club in English football our worst win to loss ratio* is against Grimsby Town (won 16 / lost 15). *played a minimum of 10 times 2️⃣ in comments below

I can't overemphasise enough how important today's game is for Amorim's future The performance last weekend was positive but the reality it that Amorim are still carrying the war wounds from last season We have to get a positive result today. If we don't things could get very toxic very quickly.

#OnThisDay 24th of August 1974 I've posted that photo on its anniversary a few times now. The black man in the photo always strikes me. Football terraces weren't exactly forward thinking back then & racism was rife in English football. He was a brave man and he looked incredibly fucking cool ✊🏿

From the first day Eric Cantona walked through the doors of Old Trafford, he had the aura of a king.

#OnThisDay 23rd of August 2006: A baby faced Michael Carrick made his Manchester United debut. He got to celebrate a goal from the baby faced assassin.

50 Years Ago Today: Manchester United fans ahead of a league game against Sheffield United #FanCulture

#OnThisDay 23rd of August 2002: David Beckham during the minute silence for the death of two school children called Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells 🙏 The two precious children adored Becks

Today is the 30th anniversary of Alan Hansen's proclamation 🗣️ You can't win anything with kids

35 Years Ago Today: Denis Irwin made his Manchester United debut in the Charity Shield against Liverpool. One of Fergie's best ever transfers.

The positives from today will be absolutely worthless without going to Craven Cottage and beating Fulham next weekend. Negativity will come flooding back unless we get a positive result against Fulham. Moral victories mean nothing - points mean everything. Let's go there and smash them 👊

The last time Manchester United played Arsenal in the opening league game of the season was in 1989. We battered them 4-1 Debutant Neil Webb scored a cracking goal. So 4-1 today - which debutant is scoring a cracker?

I'll just leave this here.

#OnThisDay 15th of August 1993: Roy Keane made his Premier League debut for Manchester United. He got to celebrate a Bryan Robson goal.

#OnThisDay 12th of August 2003: Manchester United signed a skinny kid with a questionable dress sense from Portugal called Cristiano Ronaldo. The skinny kid did a few bits for us 😂

Jim Ratcliffe doesn't strike me as a man who got to where he has by allowing people to blackmail him. Call his bluff, let him dream about playing in the 2030 World Cup as he won't be playing in the 2026 one. Also, Chelsea won't wait for him Send a message that player power is over at United 👊

#OnThisDay 11th of August 1996:

#OnThisDay 11th of August 1997: The hero of the San Siro, Henning Berg, signed for Manchester United in a £5m transfer from Blackburn. Thankfully Celio Silva's £2.2m transfer fall through after the Home Office refused him a work permit, otherwise we wouldn't have signed Berg.

Today is the 15th anniversary of when Manchester United made what I believe was for me the strangest transfer in my lifetime. We were told there was "no value in the market" that summer. City signed David Silva & our attacking midfield signing was Bebe for £7.4m

I don't want to see any happy birthday wishes for Roy Keane today. Grown men celebrating a birthday. For what, being born? You’re supposed to be born, that's your first job.

#OnThisDay 10th of August 1997: Peter Schmeichel made history by doing something that was never done before at Manchester United. Can you guess what it was?

#OnThisDay 10th of August 2002: We were asking ourselves 'who the f**k is that scumbag Tevez' In the 1st half 18 year old Tevez injured our new boy Rio Ferdinand (he missed the start of the season over it). In the 2nd half he was sent off for elbowing Paul Scholes in the face

#OnThisDay 10th of August 2003: There was absolutely nothing charitable about how the players played in the Charity Shield. Manchester United and Arsenal players kicked the shit out of each other for 90 minutes 👊

I have nothing but respect for Mo Salah @UEFA your post was shameful. You know Suleiman al-Obeid was shot dead by Israeli forces while waiting for humanitarian aid The snivelling c**ts at UEFA should be booting Israel out of all of their competitors and not trying to whitewash their war crimes

Today is the 20th anniversary of Cristiano Ronaldo's first European goal. Van Nistelrooy to Rooney.... ... Rooney to Ronaldo GOAL What riches we had ❤️

Many won't know him - His name is Jimmy Davis. At the tender age of 21, Jimmy tragically died #OnThisDay in 2003 in a road traffic collision 🙏 Spare a thought for his family today.

#OnThisDay 9th of August 1998: Manchester United 0-3 Arsenal - Charity Shield After a poor pre season, it looked like we were going to struggle in the 1998/99 season 😉

Today there wasn't a Glazer in sight at the opening of the new Carrington training ground Today Jim Ratcliffe spoke & acted like the majority stakeholder In less than two weeks time there is a trigger date (drag rights) regarding the takeover I suspect something is happening

Today's #FergieFriday photo comes from #OnThisDay 8th of August 2010 Charity Shield: 3️⃣ Manchester United 1️⃣ Chelsea

⚠️ 𝐒𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 ⚠️ Severe flood warning for the North East of England with Barcode tears expected to peak at 15:30

#OnThisDay 7th of August 1986 150 Brawling Manchester United & West Ham Fans 'Turned North Sea Ferry Into Bloody Battleship' “The stairway between the seventh & eighth decks of the ferry was literally running with blood,” Manchester United fan Tony Cannon, told journalists.

#OnThisDay 6th of August 1958: Matt Busby took charge of his first training session after the Munich Air Disaster.

I'm sad to hear about the passing of former Porto Champions League winning captain Jorge Costa at the far too young of an age at 53. As we found out in 2004, he was a warrior in the heart of their defence. RIP 🙏
