Great piece about Harry Henry, he’s certainly proved a lot of people wrong, he’s the one proper leader on the park for Utd. Bruno is a frustrating captain, leads by example (good and bad) but generally comes up with a piece of magic like yesterday, after throwing his boot in the direction of the referee, he was probably lucky to stay on …

The FA cup for me is just another premiership weekend distraction like the international breaks. There are only two comps that matter these days, the premiership and the champions league. It’s sad, I used to love fa cup weekends, but if you want to watch elite football with elite players you won’t find it here. Clubs more often now play academy players who people argue is giving them first team experience! What against non league opposition! Come on! Call me a cynic but money rules everything in football now and the fa cup will go the way of the league cup in its various guises, they’re distractions to the real games, ask any honest manager and he’ll tell you just that. And don’t get me started on the 2 leg league cup semi final 😐
thanks Macca, sorry for delay in replying, I've had a surreal day in a TV studio debating the 15 greatest British sportsmen and women. Different atmosphere at Cup games because more away fans, and Arsenal-United was a good spectacle with first choice teams. Maguire's a character, totally genuine, sticks up for his team-mates, and ticked me off over a story I wrote about one of them once. Bruno shouldn't be captain, Maguire should now he is pretty much guaranteed to start. Bruno did have a point about the Jesus foul. Enjoy the week, Henry
