According to media reports Real Madrid might sell several of it’s Dutch stars after President Perez claimed that the Spanish squad needs has become to large and needs to be trimmed down. The cull could be as big as up to 10 players and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Rafael van der Vaart, Royston Drenthe and Klaas Jan Huntelaar are all tipped to depart the Spanish capital.

Should we be interested in any of these players, can they improve our squad?

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 !!

Wayne Rooney is set to join the ManU legends next season. Wayne will wear the legendary number 10, last worn by Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

The number 10 was United Legend Denis Law‘s favourite number and now the honour to wear the number 10 jersey comes to Wayne Rooney, our biggest talent.
Wayne obviously is honoured to endorse the legendary ManUtd. #10.

When I was offered the chance to wear the number 10 shirt I jumped at it

I admit, I had very strong reservations when Sir Alex Ferguson decided to sell Ruud Van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid. I was thinking that Fergie has finally made that fatal mistake that could well have very negative implications on ManUtd�s performance this season, if not for the next couple more years until they find a striker of Van Nistelrooy�s caliber. I honestly thought that Fergie has lost it.

Flash forward to this week and looking at the Premiership League standings we see that Manchester United is leading the pack, but more telling than this, is the fact that � despite two slips against Arsenal and Reading � the guys at Old Trafford are in top form. And this observation is not limited to ManUtd diehards, football fans are also seeing the same thing! So what has happened? We thought that Van Nistelrooy�s departure would be doom, right? And he was never even replaced by another high caliber acquisition (Torres, Ronaldo and Trezeguet were names being thrown as possible replacements but Fergie didn�t budge).

Well, we thought wrong. And Fergie was right all along.

Playing without a goal machine like Van Nistelrooy has forced the team to play differently and allow their individual strengths to shine. During the last few seasons with Van Nistelrooy the team started to rely heavily on his ability to score that whenever he was injured or had an off day the team was basically screwed. But looking at the Red Devils now you see that they are more cohesive and playing off each other�s strengths. They have started to step up to the plate, so to speak, now that they are not being overshadowed by Van Nistelrooy. We are seeing Saha regain his form, Ronaldo proving that he is in a league of his own, and Giggs finding a renewed spirit and determination that defies his age.

To Fergie, we are sorry for ever doubting you.

Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy said he felt betrayed by Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to drop him for the Carling Cup final.

The 30-year-old left Old Trafford for Real Madrid in July after scoring 150 goals in five seasons.

Van Nistelrooy said he had enjoyed a good relationship with Ferguson until he was dropped for February’s 4-0 win over Wigan at the Millennium Stadium.

“To me this felt like a stab in the back,” said Van Nistelrooy.

Louis Saha played instead of Van Nistelrooy in the Carling Cup final, with the Dutchman remaining on the bench for the full 90 minutes.

Ferguson said in August that Van Nistelrooy’s reaction to being dropped was one of the main reasons for his departure to Spain – and the Dutchman backed this view:

“The first three-quarters of last season went well for me, but the final part is best forgotten. My situation with Sir Alex started to change and it became difficult for me and him to work together.”

Van Nistelrooy said he had settled in well since moving to Spain.

“I feel like I have been here for 20 years and moving here is the best thing that has happened in my life. Being at Madrid is fantastic. The people are wonderful and that is a massive thing for me. I’ve had a great first impression of Real Madrid. The club has a fantastic set-up with marvellous people. The atmosphere at training is perfect – it’s just wonderful.”

Between April 2001 and May 2005 he had scored 150 goals in 219 games for the Old Trafford club and Sir Bobby Charlton’s record of 247 goals was certainly within reach of the 30-year-old.

But cracks in the marriage between the Dutchman and manager Sir Alex Ferguson began to show with Van Nistelrooy relegated to the substitutes bench for much of the second half of last season.

What actually happened between the pair is not known, but what is fact is that the darling of United is now another ‘Galatico’ in Real Madrid�s collection.

We look at what the future holds for all three parties.

Many believe the catalyst for the rift between Ferguson and Van Nistelrooy was a reported training ground bust-up between the player and team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Van Nistelrooy said “nothing happened” but Ronaldo admitted there was a disagreement.

But whatever was the cause, it might have been enough for Ferguson to ultimately hand the striker, he called “the best in Europe“, his P45.

Manchester United, who in Van Nistelrooy had found their first 20 goals-a-season striker since Brian McClair scored 24 League goals during the 1987/88 campaign, will now be dependent on Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha and fit-again Ole Gunnar Solskjaer filling the void.

Other notables who could contribute to the scoring chores are South Korean Ji-Sung Park and new acquisition Dong Fangzhou of China. Ji has particularly been showing great promise as he has been consistent with his performance.
