Thierry Henry leaves Arsenal but the Premiership is winning 2007-06-24 15:41:45 Thierry Henry
is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to have played in the Premiership
and it is always sad when such talent leaves
for a league for away. In this case the destination is La Liga where he will be joining up with the likes of Messi, Eto’o and Rohaldinho at Camp Nou, Barcelona.

Wayne Rooney to be in Ricky Hatton’s entourage 2007-06-22 11:04:25 Wayne Rooney
wanted to be two things when he was a kid, a footballer and a boxer. He still loves boxing and is close firends with Ricky
Hatton. It seems that Wayne will be responsible for carrying the belt to the ring on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Hatton will defend his light-welter weight against [...] Read more:Wayne

Heinze to Real Madrid. Don’t do it! 2007-06-21 12:32:05 It’s disapointing to keep hearing that Heinze is leaving but the rumours are starting to change from if to when. It seems Heinze has agreed personal terms and the £4 million deal is almost done. I hope I am wrong.
Firstly, is it just me or does that seem a bit cheap? We paid almost £7 [...] Read more:Madrid

Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson. Well, 2 out of 3 aint bad 2007-06-20 17:37:42 Manchester United are determined to keep hold of their Premiership crown next season and have shown they mean business by tying up deals for Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson
at a cost of about £50 million.
Nani and Anderson are fantastic players and young enough to be considered cheap (about £17 million each) given how many years [...]
Former Blue Gudjohnsen Back in England in a United Shirt? 2007-06-26 17:47:14 There has been a lot said about Eidur Gudjohnsen joining Manchester United
, especially since Barcelona signed Thierry Henry. Initially I was against the idea but I think I might be coming round. For weeks I have been hearing that Manchester United were going to be signing a world class striker. Names like Fernando Torres, David [...] Read more:Shirt

Nothing but transfer rumours and dodgy take-overs 2007-06-25 17:11:30 There isn’t much going on with the bulk of our transfer
s done and our squad happy, relaxed and taking it easy. The pitiful attempt at a takeover of Manchester City provided a little bit of relief and of course there was the usual rumours
doing the tabloid and message board rounds.
Alan Smith, Giuseppe Rossi and [...] Read more:Nothing

window is open and Manchester United have four new names on the squad list. As of the 1st July Nani, Anderson, Hargreaves and Kusczak are on the payroll.
Anderson’s work permit application was initially rejected because he has not played in enough International games (none on date of application). Work permit regulations specify that [...] Read more:Man Utd
The pressure is on? When hasn’t it been? 2007-07-12 16:47:26 The mind games have started already with Jose coming out with the first punch of the season. In a line reminiscent of the Spiderman films Mourinho claims that; with the great spending comes great pressure. The Chelsea boss said “Manchester United’s spending is something that we don’t control, we don’t want to control - we [...]
Let’s see what we will be getting 2007-07-09 16:49:43 The Tevez drama is still going on, rules and regulations, investigations and complaints. Fergie seems pretty confident so that’s good enough for me. So if like me you are already relishing the prospect of Tevez he’s a quick look at what we can hope to see from him at Old Trafford.

Breaking news: Tevez has agreed to join Red Devils 2007-07-06 07:09:02 I knew the Tevez
deal was on the horizon but I wasn’t expecting it to happen to quickly. More fool me I suppose, how quickly did we act in securing the other summer signings?
Anyway, Sky Sports news are putting their neck in the noose with this one, breaking news, Tevez agrees 2 year loan move [...] Read more:Breaking
Tevez; the final signing in this summers sprending spree? 2007-07-05 12:44:02 It looks like Carlos Tevez
is going to become the latest signing
at Manchester United this summer and what a signing. The striker ‘crisis’ can be put to bed. It seems United were waiting till the outcome of the enquiry before making their move. That explains why we didn’t make more of an effort with [...]
Everton 0 - 1 Manchester United 2007-09-15 08:02:53 It took at glancing header from Vidic seven minutes from time to secure our first away win of the season. My 3 - 1 prediction was a little off, perhaps I was a little over excited on hearing Ronaldo and Rooney named on the team sheet.
Never the less, we are currently sitting top of the Premiership albeit [...] Read more:Everton

FC Seoul 0 Manchester United 4 2007-07-20 09:01:28 Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were both on target as Manchester United
provided an expectant South Korean public with the goals they craved.

Urawa Red Diamonds 2 Manchester United 2 2007-07-17 07:57:51 Manchester United
’s Far East tour opened in disappointing fashion as J-League champions Urawa Red Diamonds
held their Premier League counterparts in Saitama.Second-half strikes from Darren Fletcher and Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to have saved Edwin van der Sar’s blushes after the veteran goalkeeper inexplicably gifted Hideki Uchidate a 25th-minute opener.
But former Feyenoord midfielder Shinji Ono finished [...] Read more:Manchester United

A record shared and a title won, Ryan Giggs the legend 2008-05-11 15:00:33 Ryan Giggs
is Manchester United’s most decorated payer having made claim to more winners’ medals than anyone else.

retired from International football in a bid to prolong his status as a world class footballer. There is no doubt Scholes is no longer the player he was but he has used his experience to adapt his game and is contributing an awful lot to Manchester United this season.
