Welcome to the Sligo Branch of the Manchester United Supporters Club, we will update you with all the latest news from the Sligo Branch of Manchester United Supporters Club.

 

Annual Christmas Dinner: Our Annual Christmas Dinner will take place on Thursday 13 December at 8pm in The Embassy. As always, we would like all out Branch memebrs to support this event.

 

Premier League:  Finally United have a convincing win beating Fulham 4-1 at hom on Saturday. A good start saw United 3-0 up at half time against a poor Fulham side. Young,  Mata and Lukaku scoring brfore fulham got a lifeline from the penalty spot before Rashford added the fourth. Table-toppers Liverpool will be a more difficult test on Sunday at Anfield.

 

Champions League: With qualification assured into the last 16 Jose made household changes for the trip to Valencia and I'm sure with one eye on Liverpool on Sunday. A side including many with very little game time this season were way off the pace in the first half. A poor defensive header by Jones led to the first goal before he slid the ball home from outside the box to give Valencia a 2-0 lead. Things did inprove after the introduction of the subs and with a number of shots on target before some excellent play which was finished by Rashford. That was the final act and United lost 2-1. It was even a bigger disappointment when the final results came in and Juventus had been beaten awy at Young Boys, meaning a victory for United would have seen them top the group. United go into Monday's draw with the prospect of facing stiff opposition in the last 16.
