Thursday 5 November

17:40 That's all from us today but overnight, I'd like you to think of some questions for Jesper Olsen please. We'll be interviewing the 1985 FA Cup winner next week and all suggestions are welcome in our message board thread. (AB)

16:39 Mark our museum curator has received a military-style bugle in the post but he's no idea why, as it didn't arrive with a letter of explanation. His email to all staff appealing for information was too good an opportunity for the comics at Carrington. "Did it come in the 'Last Post' ?" read one reply. "Stop blowing your own trumpet Mark!" read another. (AB)

13:49 I've just got back from interviewing Gabriel Obertan. A really nice guy, he speaks flawless English and is both humble and ambitious. He said he would love to get on at some point against Chelsea and says all the lads are confident United can get a result. (BH)

12:25 Steve's also at the training ground, to interview reserves defender Oliver Gill for a feature in the next issue of Inside United. The current edition, which went on sale yesterday, has a similar article on Oliver's team-mates, the Norwegian duo Magnus Eikrem and Joshua King. 'Norses for Courses' is the rather splendid headline. (AB)

11:44 Ben's just headed down to Carrington for a chat with Gabriel Obertan. The Frenchman made his Reds' debut last week at Barnsley after being sidelined by injury for the first few months of his United career. He also came on against Blackburn and CSKA Moscow and has made a promising start so far. (GT)

08:43 It's cold and wet in Manchester today and I stepped in a puddle on the way to work! Anyway, quite a few things going on at OT. We're kicking off the day with our feature looking ahead to Chelsea. Sammy McIlroy has answered our five questions - and given the rousing team-talk he'd send his players out with at Stamford Bridge. Read the interview and then post your answers to the questions on the Talking Reds thread. (BH)
