In a press conference at OT Sir Alex Ferguson presented the new signings and announced that ManUtd will not be spending any more money this summer.

Contrary to what most people have announced, we do not need any more new signings because MAnUtd is already a stronger squad than last season, even after CR7 and Tevez left Old Trafford.
With the arrival of the talented Gabriel Obertan, Michael Owen, who signed on a free and Antonio Valencia‘s arrival times certainly look great for the Red Devils.

There is no doubt that we will see a different United, still as fast and dangerous on the breakout but our attack will be different. There where Ronaldo loved to keep the ball and try to score as often as possible, his assist rate was rather one-sided and he would only pass when on the break out. Only seldom did he pass to Rooney or Berbatov when we had pushed the opponent in their 16 and were trying to find an opening. Continue reading »

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.

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.

In an interview with Shortlist Magazine, SAF declared for the first time that he understands the very high pressure on the “Big Four” to perform with only little time to deliver. This statement was surprisingly made around the topic of introducing new young talents in the today’s game.

“When you are a top four club, you have to understand that you need success right away,” Ferguson told Shortlist magazine.

“You can’t wait three of four years for players to ease in like perhaps you can with clubs who are not expected to win silverware year in year out.”

Considered Ferguson’s track record with youngsters it is an understatement to say I was flabbergasted when reading this.
This Season we have seen the introduction of new youngsters with local boy Danny Wellbeck, Irish youngster Gibson, who is a so-called homegrown player according to UEFA proposals and another local boy, Richard Eckersley who made his debut in the FA Cup against Spurs.

Every time SAF brings another younger payer to the club I think ‘I will wait 2 years before I make a judgment on this player’, because it just seems to me that SAF and his crew plan two years to allow the youngsters to adapt to the English game and continue to mould them as players. I don’t think SAF spoke for ManU but rather tried to support all new managers in position in the League. After two years you always see a new player a totally new player emerge. Think about Rooney’s and Cristiano’s development in their first years 2 at Old Trafford.

The problem for youngsters at the Top Four is somewhere else: the high quality of the Prem is the problem, not the pressure for the club to perform. As a youngster at 18 or 19 when you make your debut for a “Big Four” team, you have to be better than a 28 year old player at Middlesborough already. If you’re 18 and feature regularly in your squad, playing against Lamps, Torres, Santa Cruz, Terry, Laursen it will be challenging. And if you’re that good and have some great performances, soon you’ll be hailed as the new hero in town, in England even, putting the pressure on you even more the next season. Micah Richards anybody?

SAF introduces players slowly and sends them out on loan to grow when needed. How often haven’t we seen a youngster debut only to see him leave soon after and then return. We currently have 11 players out on loan.
So why did SAF say this? Can anyone help me out?

PS: Doesn’t this badge look even funnier almost 18 months after creation? Yes, I’m back for the occasional entry at the ManU blog.

The game against Hull after first half did do any good for us.Or we didnt do any good.The first half was the match review of the whole game so i decided to stop rather making another new post.

So after a long break i m finally posting my thoughts back for United again.So tonights its Celtic that we are facing.Not a scary opponent from meetings of past.United are quite strong in UFEA since few years so losing this one is against odd.

Celtics recent form has been pathetic .Also Scott clubs these days are failing to stand against club of any League.They are still missing Georgios Samaras, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink and Chris Killen which makes things even worse.

United are in quite good moral.That goes with Ronaldo,Rooney and Berba.
Its an easy win.Hope we score more goals in second half!!

We know how Fergie speaks in public and how he loves to exploit facts infront of media.This summer’s hottest transfer saga was part between United and Real which was eventually won by United Ferguson.Fergie hasn’t yet felt healed from Real’s move and he still continues to hit as hard as he can.

“I don’t believe they were interested in Heinze – good player though he is. The end game was to get Ronaldo” said Ferguson.Since years we know that no one can leave United until Ferguson wants to and others better know it.He’s one of those managers who never makes personal comments on any of players but rather exploit the one behind the plot.

This all was not taken in any friendly matter by Real and their dumb reply came saying “FERGUSON IS SENILE.”

To some reason it was all correct by our manager.Real has bad history about luring players into their team and its none who has taken things so seriously.Man Utd and Real have old relations in terms with transfer window.Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Paul Ince, and David Beckhamall flied to Real after United felt they weren’t for them anymore.But they all had one thing common starting from first.None was the decider of their fate.It was Fergie who gave them the red flag and asked them to move out.

With Cristiano,however it was all different.The Spaniards are for now don’t seem to have any answers and i would be pleased to see with them coming with good answer.

Fergie has still more years left before he says his last good bye.He won’t leave the club until he feels that things are best.

Long live Fergie !!

United seems different this season.Things started to wear off ever since the Ronaldo saga came into lime-light.First a big controversy whether Ronaldo should go or not.And then whether he whats to play or not ?.He went on keeping every one on edge and finally decided to stay at United.Pointless but did affect everyone indirectly.
And if Ronaldo wasn’t enough,Berba came into picture.United has been affected by one or the other reason.Whether it be transfer problems or injuries.To add more we also lost our reliable Quieroz whose contribution was defining to our last season’s triumph.
In days back during Mourinho,Fergie was an alert man.He used to sense problems pretty early and was making necessary statements or action to get rid of it.United had one thing in brain during that time.If u want to win,win from first game.
But this time around Fergie didnt work any good.There was no enthusiasm in transfer window nor did we worked out well in our games.UFEA nights are always pumping for any United soul but this time it burned everything for me.
First games are all important.You capitalize them and you play remaining matches at ease which also reduced your error precentage which we saw last year.
Also with Fergie he is not going hard at all.His anger is less,he’s hardly rotating right players at right time nor is he interacting too much with his assistant coach.I think the thirst for trophy is over.Getting back to back was may be enough for our men.
Or may be its our over-confidence thats breaking us ?

Anyway guys,Ronaldo is back which is good for this point.Stanford Bridge is our next game.Watching Anfield game, we have all reasons to fear.Scolari’s men dont look vunerable.May be this time blues have more desire than red
A difficult game that we are facing in our difficult time.

The news are kind of confirmed.Wayne Rooney is out with is virus and is likely to miss season’s first few games.The misery goes on with our other players too such as Ronaldo(ankle operation and mentally sandwiched between Real and United),Anderson (Country duties) and Carrick (not 100% fit).Already United are running late with summer signings and i haven’t seen any hope what can we do to that.Also that goes with the Berbatov issue as well which is more or less similar to Ronaldo.So forget Berba and look at our possibilities.

Fergie is right now having a kind of similar young fledglings which we had back few years ago.The likes of Brazilian duos and Cambpell in the squad is kind of an advantage to us.Mauncho is also fantastic and Possebon a replica of Hargo.So we can’t say that we are empty.

However,apart from the missing line-up for strikers Fergie won’t fumble in his decisions and will keep his patience to get the best out.Also Tevez’s presence in team is an upper hand for us.So Fergie is thinking more than enough to sign one piece ahead.

Ever since we lost our target man,Huntelaar was United‘s usual rumor boy.But he has still not moved in the transfer window for me.Anyone hardly get his news anywhere and what we get is not even half- prefect.So he’s off my list along with Berbatov.
I such desperate times United are looking for any possible striker with quality in standards of United.

My plans if we don’t sign any single signing it won’t be that harsh.The forward section is the only tussle which can be compromised by our lads up front.Fraizer Campbell and Tevez can go really well along with a third striker cum substitute,Manucho.He’s still having is work permit issues but will be soon in as season start.Also Continue reading »

Another pre-season victory against Peterborough for United lads.Junior Fergie(Darren Ferguson) also did show great managerial skill though wasn’t able to restrain 2 goal defeat.One was an one goal and other came from United’s second team player Gibson.Also i was able to see those Brazilian twins for first time.Quite amazing pair of legs they have.But still they are young and still lot to learn.

Also happy to see Tevez in such great form when other team players are out for their reason.Really deep in my heart,Ronaldo’s departure won’t be a sad act for me.Players like him can make United more stable that one-time idols.

Talking about Ronaldo he has finally returned to Old Trafford.The big mouths have already have come upon with Ronaldo’s fate and where he’s gonna stay.But its not such problem now.Real are not looking firm on anything.Signing or dealing their players so to digest such mammoth transfer won’t be possible for their current situation.I just hope these days pass.I am sick of these dumb news everyday which keep on swinging both sides.But no ones to blame.Fergie wasn’t clear with Berbatov’s deal and nor was Ronaldo with United.TIT FOR TAT i guess.

Still waiting for United to Sign any player for this season…. or promoting any new kid to first team :D
