Diouf raring to enter Manchester United on season’s second half

December 23, 2009 By red devil

With football season about to reach its second half, all eyes should be on Manchester United’s new acquisition.

Sir Alex Ferguson is banking on Mame Biram Diouf to add more pop and crackle to Manchester United. The Senegalese born striker is already hard at work training at Carrington and already possesses a work permit.

A lot of weight is being given to Diouf, especially with talk that he can be the next Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. In fact, it was Solskjaer himself who recommended Diouf to Sir Alex. His glowing recommendation was one of the reasons Fergie signed him. Now a lot of talk has been given the fact that another potentially explosive forward with not much experience is being signed into the team (we all know that Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck fit the bill and they’re still not getting the minutes) but I trust Sir Alex’s decision. He’s proven that he has the keen intuition to know what the Red Devils need.

Diouf will still need to impress Manchester United fans though. But it looks like he will have what it takes to really win them over. He’s got the talent and the abilities that could really help in the quest for another Premiership title.

Instead the Red Devils agreed to play a rematch against Malaysia XI in Kuala Lumpur on Monday. [Read more…]
