by Henry Winter (Analysis | Telegraph - May 12)

Richardson Seizes Chance To Strut His Stuff On International Stage
by Henry Winter (Profile/Interview | Telegraph - May 30)
The swagger that characterised Kieran Richardson's goal-scoring debut for England on Saturday can spill over into cockiness, a streak that once stirred concerns at Manchester United.

Fans Bank On United Front To Foil Intruders
by Henry Winter (Article | Telegraph - February 8)
If it were Willie Morgan, and not J P Morgan, advising Malcolm Glazer, there might be a temptation to give some credibility to the whiskery American profiteer's interest in Manchester United. J P Morgan are a huge investment bank, respected throughout the financial world, but they simply have no idea the mess they are getting themselves into. more details | go to article

Scudamore Speaks Up For The Premier League
by Henry Winter (Profile/Interview | Telegraph - January 26)
Stung by criticism of the Premier League, the organisation's chief executive, Richard Scudamore, hit back strongly last night, arguing that gates were up, Premiership referees were first class, Roman Abramovich was good for football and that the elite clubs were working hard to help England to prepare for the World Cup. Scudamore did criticise divers like El-Hadji Diouf and those who oversee a transport network that ensnares fans. more details | go to article

Diouf 'Dive' Ends The Stalemate
by Henry Winter (Result | Telegraph - January 26)
A Lancashire Derby high on endeavour, if low on technique, was settled in hugely controversial fashion by a blatant dive from El-Hadji Diouf, who rose from his shameful tumble to put the penalty past Brad Friedel at the second attempt. Ewood Park seethed with resentment last night. more details | go to article

Beckham Puts Hollywood On Hold
by Henry Winter (Profile/Interview | Telegraph - November 16)

Winter On Saturday: Hughes On The Way Up
by Henry Winter (Profile/Interview | Telegraph - September 18)
Mark Hughes's contract with Blackburn Rovers should be of great interest to Manchester United. Hughes has signed a two-year deal after which a one-year rolling extension kicks in, so allowing ease of exit if required. Hughes will doubtless excel at Ewood Park, introducing the sound tactics and self-belief that have made Wales such awkward opponents, but this is a man destined for even higher things and Old Trafford remains the English pinnacle. more details | go to article

Chelsea Show Their Steel As Gudjohnsen Sinks United
by Henry Winter (Result | Telegraph - August 16)
Defending so deep they were almost in Craven Cottage, let alone Stamford Bridge, Chelsea scrapped and scraped their way to three undeserved points here yesterday. Jose Mourinho's promise to supporters about "let's have some fun" was presumably referring to after the game. more details | go to article

Arsenal Show There Is Life Beyond Vieira
by Henry Winter (Result | Telegraph - August 9)
The gathering fear that the Community Shield is fast becoming a fringe event was highlighted yesterday by a banner proclaiming the presence of "Edinburgh Festival Reds" in the Manchester United end. Yet despite the 10,000 empty seats, the annual dress rehearsal for the Premiership pageant still managed to construct some significant story-lines, most notably for Arsenal. more details | go to article

United Ensure Triumph Of Flair
by Henry Winter (Analysis | Telegraph - May 24)
Cristiano Ronaldo could start a party in an empty house. Dennis Wise could end a party in a full one. The 123rd FA Cup final was defined by the verve of a Manchester United winger and the caution of Millwall's player-manager. Fortunately Ronaldo prevailed, flair overcoming negativity to bring the famous old trophy back to Old Trafford. more details | go to article

by Henry Winter (Article | Telegraph - March 17)
Europe's elite clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal, yesterday made a direct challenge to the authority of Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA, by declaring they were looking into the legality of FIFA not offering compensation for players released for international duty.
