It didn’t take long to finalize the capture of the 23 year old Antonio Valencia. The Ecuadorian has signed at Old Trafford. No transfer fee has been disclosed, but Wigan is said to have captured £18m for the international who pledge his trade two years in the shadow of the Theatre of Dreams.
There is no doubt that Valencia will fit our game the only question is will he be a fixture in the starting 11 from Day 1. He is raving to play in the squad though:

Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can’t wait to get started.

Benzema continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford as well and there have been rumours that a Lyon player has said it was only a matter of days anymore, but these rumours were denied shortly after. Thing is that Fergie in France is, not too far from Lyon actually but according to Benzema’s agent the 21 year old French international would prefer to stay one more year in France. Apparently playing in France would improve his chances to be selected for the World Cup. As if playing week in week out in the Prem wouldn’t give him enough of attention. I think there’s something I don’t understand here, unless Lyon and his agent are playing a smart game to raise the price, with Arsenal and Real Madrid also interested in the French international.

In other news the Portuguese glamour boy has finalized his move to… Galacticos II ? It is sad to see the winger go after 6 wonderful years at MU, but we all knew it would happen at some point and to be honest, no matter how much I have defended him and expected him to stay at least one more year, peace may return to Carrington and OT.
We have enjoyed a wonderful time with CR7, he was a worthy 7 and has been a pillar of our successful last 3 seasons. Thank you for what you’ve done for us, CR7. Now go fail at the Bernabeu

I hope you still remember me because with the start of a new season nearing you will read more from me here again.

Manchester United revealed the new kit for the 2009-2010 season today.

For a second year in a row the kit is rather nostalgic. ManUtd is full of history and our history shall never be forgotten at Old Trafford. Nevertheless I can not say I am entirely convinced by this outfit yet, certainly the goalie kit will take some to get used to even if I find the white kit a lot more stylish than the field player kit.

There would be only one reason for me not posting to this epic of modern earth-whether i be dead or this blog n hopefully none of us are,so i shall write a small bit of paper for today’s game.Besides,Indian Premier League just got over and i had to switch towards it after matches with United held no more importance.We had won,Liverpool were whining and Relegation was all on luck,so i switched on cricket.However i could move to anything else for today,yea with my exams coming i am sure of watching this whole action LIVE!!

I am out with updates with players,coaches and staff so there’s no news coming from my side.I was however reading tabloids about Ronaldo being a wuss and he hopefully signing off the Spaniards. Ferguson hasn’t yet comment anything on Ronaldo’s transfer or Tevez’s stay but both things are kept out from today’s game.Both lads are playing probably their final game for United and Fergie will make sure to sweat every possible magic from them.

Barca as team are usually focused with their game n are not making any tabloids like us.Their team though is hit with series of injury list and they still might look to get their injured ones fit first rather than dealing with transfers.Messi is the key for today’s game.If he’s in mood,there’s a lot for Van De Sar to do.It would be a league combined in one game and there couldn’t be any causalities with players.

For my pick,Rooney,Tevez,Ronaldo,Carrick,Scholes,Giggs,Evra,Ferdinand,Vidic and Rafa shall do great.Anderson,Evans and Berbatov can be on benches.Fergie would probably start with Berbatov and put Tevez down which won’t be any good for United.Again my words,Today’s game will be more on picking correct players for both sides.If we go with wrong strike force Fergie has spilled his beans, and if he pulls right cards we are master of Europe.

Prediction:-I think the game will start with enough excitement to kill world’s oldest coach with heart attack.Ronaldo will start with his usual bitchiness but will turn into a scorer as the game will progress.Rooney will make sure that Barca’s defense and especially Pique stay in their bay.Vidaa-Ferdinand will crush Messi in their arm pits and Evra will make  Xavi like he did to Drogba.All in all United are winning !!!!!

2-1

And finally we made it.There was no reason or any doubts why we couldn’t.The match against Wigan was all that needed for us to prove why we are going change the history.However i wasn’t able post anything after the Wigan match,thanks to our marriage season thats happening in my part of country.Attending almost 3 marriages back to back in a week i was without any energy to encounter Arse’s match.Draw was the result and its not neccessary for me to explain how it went;).Sadly i haven’t seen any footages or videos for our last game.
This year’s football will end with the last game at Rome.Its pretty much sure with the team and manager that Ronaldo is leaving.With tevez its still a myth whether he stays or not.He has shown and taken his heart out to continue with United but lets see what Fergie has in his short list.Ronaldo’s departure should atleast make Fergie think of Tevez.Watching Berba this season,it looks our 30Million buy was sere waste.He was only being wise and natural at pitch assisting the balls to scorers.Nothing fantastic or eye catching from this man.Pace and strength are reasonably low which is the reason he keeps on failing to score.For now Berba is not the problem.
Champions League as u know is going to be bigger.United on brink of creating history while Barca already created their own one with their excessive goal scoring tally.Both teams at present are invincle in their own league and thats reason why this fixture is being more two civilizations clashing.
I haven’t heard or seen the pitch so don’t know which teams are going to be the lucky ones.
For atleast now United have an upper edge over barca with almost 80% of fit squad.
Lets see what we got coming for this year’s special.

United playing Wigan.. thats another three points coming.

What we are going to take today is Wigan.There’s not much to worry until we are playing any of the big 3 .Wigan already are struggling like hustlers in the league and we being the big daddy, we got hardly any reasons why we shouldn’t get those three points.
We got to make 4 points in our 3 fixtures by which we can get 3 points alone from this match.The match is away at JJB and all remaining matches are at home for United.
There’s no urge for fergie to go hard with his team.A decent input of Rooney,Carrick and Scholes can do us the game.Giggs can to come in late in second half.Vida can be dropped.So can be Van De Sar.Fergie would either go for the kill or may play safely after scoring couple of goals. I would love to see some of our off beat players on ground.Nani being one of them.
Macheda,Welbeck both being the possiblilty.A
In either game we should make sure that our best players rest.The only matter for us is that we win the league and not by how many points.Once those 4 points are chequered there’s no need to play with full team.We got to save men for Rome night.
Ronaldo could be out of this game and i wish he goes out in next season.”There’s no problem with Ronaldo till he scores for United” says Fergie.Sooner or later he might get a shoe hit on his head.But for now he’s a Lucky lad!!
3 points here and u can start partying. :)

I Sorry to miss for my CL report.It has been happening repeatedly that i am missing out champions league drama every now and them.But this one was by far the best.I looks things get better when we approach finals and we get an epic game when we reach finals.However both semi’s were far more exciting than last month in whole.For Chelsea and Barca,Drogba was my man of the Match:P.However,we are heading to Rome facing one of the most attacking team in the world and god knows what consequences we are going to have back then.
Last night’s match was a usual United at home.Fergie didn’t leave much regular absentise.Rooney was on bench and Ferdinand was rested.Apart from that there was no change.League is our top priorty and there was no chance of taking City at ease.
Game commenced and we took early lead through Ronaldo free kick.You can call his geniusness or luck but both ways it was good for United.Ball pitching ahead of keeper piercing through the wall.City was looking to score but their league standings are in such position that winning or losing would hardly matter.
With all contreveries surrounded around Tevez he wasn’t going to be anybody’s shadow.First he came close with an outrageus strike and then we went for a killer.Berba passing him with just one man to beat and Tevez striking from outside the box,shreading keeper into bits.
There was nothing more to be played for Mark Hughes side.Robinho was all pumped when he entered back in after break but lost his air very quickly had go into summer mood.Man City didn’t have enough fire to burst themselves to another level and the game never looked moving from United.Fergie quickly managed to get few of his best men out and one of them being an asshole.(i will be posting a whole lot on him.)
Fergie managed to get Scholes in taking off Park and Rooney in place of Ronaldo.The game ended real quick with only 2 minutes on extraa time and United crusing for another three points.The team on whole had brilliant vision.The game passing had improved over months and definately there are reasons why we can Make 2 in a row.
Just 2 more games to go and we wrap another trophy winning season.United now can focus better on CL finals.

So finally a show down match between Arsenal and United.Not so many matches been played between these two or may i missed a lot between them.However this match really seems full of reason and strong emotion that these players will drench tonight.
Being out from almost every club competition Wenger doesn’t see any options expect for winning Champions league.There will be more rush of testosterone from Arse’s men.They are without Clichy and Nasri so they might need a bit more.
With our team ,Fergie is well alert with Wenger’s excellent game plays.There’s no point in being comfort zone over a single goal victory.There no chance Fergie won’t go with  full strength.Rio is fit and is playing tonight along side with Ronaldo and Carrick,the ones rested in EPL matches.
Rooney and Tevez are the possible ones starting tonight.Berba may be seen as a sub.Also there’s a bit caution scenario for United as Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Evra are on yellow cards.Getting one can be dangerous.
There are chances of United playing 4-2-3-1 or the vintage 4-4-2.However for today’s game i would like to bet on Giggs and Scholes.Any formation but get them fit in the team.A real piece of experience and master classes from both these veterans can help on this fright night.
Fletcher also seems a possible option along side with Carrick.A lot of options that we are having for tonight,lets hope Fergie pulls out right puppets.

Prediction:-All bets on United,hands down!!!
1-2

AAAA… The games starting in few hours best o’ luck United !!!

Arsenal match was just good enough for us to sail through Champions league finals,yesterday’s was just good enough to get United adequate 3 points.This puts us 6 points ahead with only 4 games to go.

As expected,Fergie wasn’t going to leave any boots off for taking Boro at their park.There was no way he was going with lesser artiliary though we gambled out  Ronaldo and Carrick.The game started better with Southgate’s men.United’s mood kept swinging as we kept contracting every moment.Well the urge was pulled by Giggs and he pumped United with some air with his first goal.Pushing United ahead on 25th minute with his vintage play.Our recently crowned PFA player did just enough to cruise the ball in corner putting United ahead with one goal.
Well this could have been an alarm for Boro but this all was more petriying for them.The game suddenly took hault from their side and it was looking another easy game for United as they kept rolling smoothly.While was Rooney was slicing boro’s defense in piece a goal was about to come in minutes with his vicious crosses.In early second half,Rooney passed the defense to which he guided Park his first and United’s second goal for the match.A piece of his master class and yet one more reason why he should stop playing as a striker.Boro then kept United on their heels with small one-two attacks which United easily took on their heads.Johnny Evans making sure United secures another clean sheet with a hard tackle over Alves in dying minutes.
A relatively easy game for United after what it could have taken tp win from a A class team running in relegation.All in all 3 decent points putting United inch closer to another epic.

The fixture that will be next is going to be against Arsenal in Champions league second leg.Playing away against Arsenal will be by far Fergie’s toughest encounter for this season.I not judging on Arsenal’s player but what this fixture holds for both the teams.Wenger’s men are almost without any trophies for past couple of years and this doesn’t seem any better to snatch a catch.United however isn’t going to feed easy breads for Wenger.If we win,we are likely to face in form Barca at Rome.There no chance that Chelsea can pass through this manmoth team.So that leaves us with barca at finals.A real Messi-Ronaldo fight.Lets hope we become first team to regain this holy grail of European Football.

It had to be today.United are playing CL semi’s and i had to return.I finally now complete my college for time being and we are off for a  month long holiday.Many thought this blog was dead and there won’t be any updates but i had to be back.United being in such good form and no one to comment.. that was quite injustice.

Today’s leg was something which had my eyes on.I wish it was Barca but watching them play against Chelshits was scary.Rooney -Ronaldo all are fit.Carrick and Scholes are possible ones to start today.Defense is going to be the same.Ferdi-Vida along side with Evra and Da Silva.I dont see why we can’t take a lead ahead in this fixture.Arsenal are usually jinx for United.They have matches during times when position are on curcial stages and they tend to change scenarios with little winners.Arsenal is some serious business and i wish Fergie doesn’t go soft.

Our last against Spurs was delight.Lets hope this encounter turns out the same.Match still has 4 hours remaining.Make ur preparations!!!

It had to be all over.United were all on grounds.Had it been away the scoreline and situation would have been  different.No Ferdi,no Vidic, No Scholes and No Rooney.Evans,O’Shea,Neville and Evra were the ones backing our wall and it was the worst possible configuration that i could imagine.Villa wasn’t the same that we faced last year.They looked different and played different.The team absolutely has  their past of being the 5th team and are equal competitors to this season’s top 4.

The start was similar to our last 3 games.United were struggling in their boots while Villa was making most of it.The opening moments were quite scary.Flectcher saving on pole,VDS jumping high and all proving that United ain’t having a fest. Agbonlahor played similar position which Ronaldo plays for United and that proved how vunerable we can be against such players.Gary kept chasing and was only left with dust to watch.
A goal had to come soon and was a gifted one. Friedel was caught napping and Barry padded a backpass which gifted United a worthy  freekick inside the box. Ronaldo was on position and a fierce strike Handed United their first goal.It seemed impossible to score but replay showed it was impossible to stop.Was pure Ronaldo style!!.

But that was it.The show stopped for United and it was Villa’s turn to turn back on us.It looked for a moment that United were on brink of scoring another until Barry-Carew changed the phase.A deep ball in by Barry found Carew marked unmarked by Gary and a ball saying “hit me in” was headed for a goal. Neville was out classed easily by Carew physical structure and he could only admire this giant fellow.That proved Neville’s vunerability in centre and totally changed the game for United.The vicious header was enough to hold United’s momentum and the Villa only needed break to compose themselves back.

Sadly, second half time was also what Villa did and this time it was Agbonlahor .A clusmy header from Petrov’s cross giving Villa the lead in a see-saw contest.

2 goals down and something had to be done. 17-year old Italian Fedrico Macheda brought on the field.

Still nothing changed in the game until Ronaldo pumped the hit.With only last quarter to spare,United plung back in the game with some one brilliant football.Ronaldo took the charge,took a remarkable shot curling past  Friedel.Score’s level and it looked a dervesing draw.

Fergie however was running if different plans.Welbeck brought in and nearly scored but shot saved by the goalie.Then in dying minutes,The Italian fired.

The 17-year old breezing past Villa’s wall,danacing and turning scored a beauty .The ball curling to its maximum and Fridel being mere spectector.This had to be his debut and no could take that.The game ends,Villa now on their grounds.A fitting victory and some energtic play by our  best footballer of the year.

If he continues the same way,United are surely to make quintuple this season.

Scousers u need a fuckin’ big appetite to digest this !!
