Usain Bolt actually wants to play for Manchester...
So the fastest man ever wants to try his hand at football, and his club of choice, none other than Manchester United. This type of story cannot be made up.
The sprinter had this to say in his recently released autobiography:
“Ideally, if I was to play football, I’d sign for my favorite team — Manchester United. People say it’s not realistic but nobody has seen me play...

Phelan is stoked with Nani's work but concedes...
Phelan has reveales that he is pleased with the player’s mindset. He said: “Nani’s head never goes down. He takes a few knocks along the way but he always rises to an occasion.
“It was important for him to bounce back. We played him on the right, which he doesn’t normally do, he plays on the left. His general play and running off the ball was very good.”
Nani...

Ruud van Nistelrooy has admitted that leaving Manchester United was more difficult than leaving Real Madrid. “It was harder to leave Manchester United. That was my club, like PSV and Den Bosch.” “Real Madrid was different. I had a tremendous time there and a warm relationship with the fans,…

Nani is really starting to cause problems for...
Unlike this time last season, it’s a good problem.
Nani played on the right last night and looked very good. He linked up with both strikers very well and delivered some great crosses (notably for Berba’s goal) along with getting onto the scoresheet himself. He looked comfortable and dangerous every time he had the ball and West Ham didn’t really know what to do about him. ...

Big Zlatan fires more shots at Pep and Barcelona.
Looks like big Z isn’t done having shots at his old club. I think it’d be worth while remembering that he’s still under contract there.
“When I walk into a room, [Pep] Guardiola will walk out,” he told journalists. ”I don’t know if he is scared of me.
“He is the philosopher who has broken my dream of being at Barcelona. The coach did not want me...

Fergie seems torn on wether or not it’s worth spending a spot in our 25 man squad on Owen Hargreaves…..
I personally don’t think he’ll play again after the latest setback but god I’d love to be wrong.

Is Zlatan Ibrahimovic the most overrated player in...
News has just broken that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed on a season long loan from Barcelona to AC Milan with the 24 million euro clause to buy him outright. That’s a massive transfer for a 28 year old striker who was clearly deemed surplus to requirements at Barca now that they’ve signed David Villa.
I’m pretty surprised at this transfer, I’m surprised Barca are so willing to call him a...

Player Ratings - Manchester United v West Ham...
Van Der Sar - 6 - Really nothing to do to be honest. His shakiest moment came when Evans headed it back to him from 2 meters away. O’Shea - 6 - Got forward at will and delivered in some good balls unlike last week. Few problems from Dyer.
Vidic - 8 - Fergie, give the big Serb the armband more often. He put in 4 world class tackles on Cole to stop him in his tracks, the last one brought...

Manchester United: Reds draw Scunthorpe →
The Reds will play Scunthorpe in the Carling Cup third round. United are the current holders and enjoyed a memorable Carling Cup campaign in 2009/10. Sir Alex’s men lifted the trophy at Wembley after beating Martin O’Neill’s Aston Villa side 2-1 in the final in February. The Reds defeated…

Fergie slams "disgusting" journalists for...
A few days ago I wrote this piece in defense of the Bebe after the British media took pot shots at him based on nothing at all. It seems like Sir Alex agrees feelings mirror my own view and has launched a broad side at those very journos. Great stuff by Alex.
“Bebe is in a programme of doing endurance work, because his fitness levels aren’t near the levels we’re at,” the manager...

The Champions League draw has been completed and...
Many of you may know that yesterday I did my Champions League draw preview and looked at the good, the bad and the bearable scenarios that could face Manchester United. I can tell you now that the draw we actually got isn’t much worse than the “best case scenario” and is better than my “bearable group”. Great news.
First up we have Rangers, the club our fearless...

Champions League draw preview. The good, the bad...
Ok people so the Champions League draw is upon us and I thought I’d take the opportunity to have a look at the difference scenarios. Here is my dream draw, my nightmare draw and the something in between draw.
BEST CASE SCENARIO
Pot 1 - Manchester United
Pot 2 - Panathiakos - Greek teams are always tough in the away leg but they are hardly a well rounded squad. French internationals...

Mourinho: United Are Lucky To Have Fantastic...
iloveunited:
Jose Mourinho has hailed Paul Scholes.
“Scholes? Fantastic. Why isn’t he playing for England? It is crazy. Only in England.”
“Scholes is a great, great player. So experienced and still, for me, one of the best in the world in midfield. Manchester United are lucky to have him.”

This whole Bebe was "dropped" from the reserves is...
Yesterday Manchester United knocked off Manchester City for the first time this season (at least 2 more to come we hope) as the United 2nds took on the awfully named ‘Elite Development Squad’ and trounced them 3-1. Yay, we’re all as happy as some bloke called Larry. But then the negative Nancy’s come out.
