The renowned midfielder of the Manchester Anderson has been ruled out with a knee injury. He has been ruled out until February 2012. Anderson is a famous Brazilian footballer who had crucial ligament damage and was forced to undergo a surgery two years ago.

Anderson is again sent back to Portugal to the same specialist for the further assessment of his knee injury. Anderson had the Champions League clash with Otelul Galati on 2nd November and has not played since then. Sir Alex Ferguson stated this to media in an interview that Anderson is out until February 2012.

Ferguson is worried as Tom Cleverley who is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder in the Premier League for Manchester United is also out of the field due to an ankle injury.

Alex Ferguson however has no plans to go to the transfer market in the month January. He said in his interview with media that it might be easy to buy the players but is easier said than done to buy them or the Manchester market and that too in the month of January. He is also not sure to get any player that can make a better team for them. He doesn’t find any good player in the market; the players he wants are not available.

In totality the only fit midfield players left are Darren Gibson, Darren Fletcher,Ryan Giggs, Ji-sung Park and Michael Carrick. Ferguson tried to fit Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones as midfield players.

Manchester United began its campaign to win the Premier League Cup in a very decisive fashion. Bucking the popular assessment of the Red Devils as slow starters, they came blazing right off the gate this season. Even the usually slow to find his groove Wayne Rooney immediately displayed fine form and racked up an impressive number of points – including getting a hat trick on Manchester United’s successive matches against Arsenal and Bolton.

For a moment there, Manchester United fans were beginning to think that this is going to be an effortless season and that the Red Devils will breeze through the season maintaining their impressive form. But football is nothing but unexpected. Injury problems have again began to plague the team. Continue reading »

After my busy week around with my work,United too will be getting busy with Ronaldo’s arrival back at Old Trafford.

Its said that he’s coming to finalize his decisions regarding his career at Real and he should now be let moved out.
According to Telegraph,the reported sum of 68 millions pounds will be offered for Winger by Real in favor of his service.Which will also catalyze the deal of Robinho at Chelsea and Berbatov at United.For many reasons,all this is going to change a lot of things regarding the transfers and signings for players in footballing world.
There were days when players feared from Club owners and managers regarding their footballing careers and decisions.But things are now moving fast.The footy geniuses are bending the rules and taking possibilities to their favors.I mean take a look at any transfer for last 5 years that has been forced by managers.Exactly none but u can find 100′s where a player wants to move out of his team when he wants.
I mean has their been times that clubs missed paying their players.Or has their been times that sponsors didn’t provide him shoes.Whats a purpose of a contract if its not made to fulfillment.And there we are,FIFA prez consolidating these money hungry people as modern age slaves or how about modern age blackmailers…

Right now lets talk about Ronaldo as i can’t get any better example than any.He was brought at United when he was a boy.A raw talent which didn’t have any direction.Hardworking at United and also from United staff pushed him from a kid to a player.All those years they kept him pushing to limits till this boy turned to a man.And now when he knows that playing for him isn’t everything he is trying new things and wants to move out of club for fatter cheques.

Is their any point in having a 5 year contract ???

By tomorrow things are getting finalized between United and Ronaldo lets see what results are we getting from the meeting .

Cristiano Ronaldo may have had a bit of a troubled relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson by the end of his last season for Manchester United because of his very vocal desire to leave the team but now that he is with Real Madrid, the Portuguese winger has come out to say that he misses being with the Red Devils.

Ronaldo was transferred to Real after an unprecedented £80million fee this summer. But even though he misses life at Old Trafford he still maintains that he made the right choice in going to Real Madrid.

Ronaldo has also dismissed comments that Manchester United has been struggling without him this season. He said that even though the team has lost the last two games they are still the second placers in the league.

I think that it’s very sportsmanly of Ronaldo to say such things about his old club. We’ve often seen players who transfer to a new team lambasting his former teammates and the manager just to justify why they had to transfer in the first place. Ronaldo has proven that you can transfer without having to show any kind of animosity to your former teammates. Yes, he may be seen as a little bit of a brat by most fans but he’s shown that he can also be a stand-up guy.

With Manchester United strongly in the running for winning the Premiere League Championship once again this year, Man Utd fans are becoming increasingly stoked about the team’s prospects even with strong competition facing them in the coming months.

But the enthusiasm is not being relegated to fans. Even the members of the team are becoming increasingly optimistic about their chances for a record fourth consecutive championship. And no one is more optimistic than Manchester United Captain Gary Neville, who has been quoted as saying “It is in our hands now and it has not been like that for a while.”

Key to the Red Devils’ success if Wayne Rooney’s amazing run this season. Rooney has been on fire and is ably replacing the void that Cristiano Ronaldo has left. the striker has already scored his 23rd goal this season, which already equals his career best.

Neville wants the Red Devils to maintain their winning form, which is needed now more than ever as they prepare to play AC Milan in the Champions League.

All eyes are now on Nani, who has been playing extremely well in their last few games. If Nani gets his groove, he’ll be a perfect partner to Rooney.

It didn’t come as a surprise at a ll.

Ryan Giggs has signed a new contract with Manchester United, extending his stay with the Red Devils until the summer of 2011.

The new one-year deal will mean that Giggsy will be staying at Old Trafford past his upcoming 37th birthday. Giggs has been declared the BBC Sports Personality of the Year and with good reason, the man has been in fine form this season. We all know that Giggs is a stable and consistent player but this year looks like he has upped his game and he’s been performing exceptionally well. In the Fantasy League I play in, practically everyone has him on every team roster, and that’s a fair indicator of the numbers he’s been putting out this season. Even Sir Alex Ferguson couldn’t help but remark about the amazing form Giggs has been showing this season.

Every year again, when it’s quiet during the off and pre-season the same topic comes up. Over and over again and last week was no exception to this: José Mourinho hopes to lead Manchester United some day.
Before I analyze what he could bring and wouldn’t bring to Old Trafford, let us get the facts right.

Mr. Mourinho, brilliant strategist as he might be, certainly is NOT the Special One. If one manager deserves this title, it can only be Sir Alex Ferguson. A clsoe contender to SAF would be Carlos Ancelotti, but Mourinho still has lots to prove before he can make his claim valid.

Mourinho a great manager?

There is no doubt that the Portuguese manager a brilliant trainer is and could succeed at most top clubs, as he has proven with Port, Chelsea and Inter Milan. His managerial track record is marvelous and glamorous with 5 league titles and 2 European Cups:

• Porto: Portuguese Liga: 2002-03, 2003-04 – Taça de Portugal: 2002-03 – SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira: 2003 – UEFA Champions League: 2004 – UEFA Cup: 2003
• Chelsea F.C.: FA Premier League: 2004-05, 2005-06 – FA Cup: 2007 – Football League Cup: 2005, 2007 – FA Community Shield: 2005
• F.C. Internazionale Milano: Serie A: 2008-09 – Supercoppa Italiana: 2008

He is is currently on a run of 117 home league matches unbeaten, his last and only defeat at home dating from 23 February 2002.
