Video: Worse Than Andy Cole! Football Ultimate Miss



This must be the greatest football miss of all time. With the keeper clearly defeated and the ball cruising towards the goal line, everyone expected a goal. An unknown Brazilian striker having done all the hard work, conjured up the ultimate football miss shot when he attempted at blasting the ball into goal. We reminsce Andy Cole's early days with the Red Devil.

Video Highlights: Watch Man Utd Child Prodigy Debut Against Crewe



Was Sir Alex Ferguson crazy when he lured Paul Pogba from Le Havre to Man Utd?
Pogba? That must be the most uninspiring name- (or made up name) of a footballer I have ever heard.

I felt worse when Manchester United promised the kid £15500 a month contract when he turns 17 next year. On top of that, Pogba's seperated parents will each be paid more than £85,000.

16-year-old Pogba made his debut for United against Crewe on Friday night wearing the number eight shirt.

Pogba’s shone in his debut but English Premier League is a steep learning curve.
Is he a gamble worth making?

Video: Ronaldo Laughed About Manchester City Project In Interview

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed as if he had the giggles and tried to hold back the whole time when asked about The Manchester City Project by a Sky Sports reporter.

The Eastland club's cash wasting antics must have been the most comedic thing he has ever seen. And who can blame him?- Carlos Tevez signed for £25 million.



Last year, Manchester City were rumored to be making a £135 million bid for the Portuguese star.

When asked if he would join Manchester City, Ronaldo's reply was: "Never. City have a lot of good players and might be a problem for United, Arsenal and Chelsea. But that doesn't interest me. I am only interested in playing for Real Madrid and teams like Barcelona and Valencia."-Guardian

Robbie Fowler Had A Jibe At Owen's Man Utd Move



Do the lads from Merseyside think that Michael Owen is a 'traitor' for joining Liverpool's rival? Ex-Liverpool striker, Robbie Fowler, surely thinks so.

Fowler, the Anfield legend, had played alongside Owen for a number of seasons at Liverpool. He had fully empathized with Owen having been dogged by numerous injury issues throughout his career. But while happy to wish Owen all the best on a personal level, he did not feel that Man U is the most appropriate club to join.

'Obviously I want Michael to do well but I don't want Man United to do well,' said Fowler.

'It's a sticky situation and I don't want to get drawn into things with Michael and Man United. Everyone knows I'm a Liverpool fan.

'But if Michael scores a lot of goals then I hope Fernando Torres scores a lot more.'


'I don't want to go down that route as I leave myself open to criticism but Michael has done what he's done and it's not for me to judge what he should do or shouldn't do. He's a big lad.

It may well have all gone wrong for Fowler & Owen but history will recall them as the finest players ever to wear a Liverpool jersey.

Video: Michael Owen's First Training Session

All back to work!

This is Michael Owen's first training session with the Man Utd team after joining them on a free transfer.It also featured thuggish looking Wayne Rooney who was wearing a red woolen hat.

Owen looked sharp and competitive in the game and was probably hoping to catch the eye of both club manager Ferguson and international boss Capello.

Is this going to be the last time we see him without clutches?

Video: Man Utd Player Michael Owen's First TV Interview



Michael Owen, former Kop legend, is now officially a MANCHESTER UNITED player.

Sir Alex Ferguson is a genius and this is definitely his shrewdest signing ever.

Michael Owen will earn a basic wage of £30,000 a week, with the rest of his salary dependent on appearances and goals.-The Independent

That money is hardly going making a dent in Manchester United's wage structure. Even if Owen plays only 30 minutes a season, the Reds did not waste too much money. If Michael stays injury free and rediscovers his best form, Ferguson has in his service a Ballon d'Or winner.

In any case, it must be a heart wrenching experience for any Liverpool fan to see their former hero pledge allegiance to their worst enemy.

Someone is having a laugh now...

Video: Antonio Valencia Signs For Man Utd



Manchester United first signing is Wigan Athletic's winger Antonio Valencia. He has penned a four-year deal for a fee reported to be close to £16 million.

The 23-year-old Ecuador international has been tracked by United manager Sir Alex Ferguson for a while.

Ferguson was evidently delighted with the transfer. He said, "Antonio is a player we have admired for some time now, having spent the last two years in the Premier League with Wigan.

"I am sure his pace and ability will make a significant contribution to the team."

Antonio Valencia had mirrored the joy felt by Ferguson. "Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me. I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here.

Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can’t wait to get started," he said.

Video: Douglas Costa, Another Brazilian For United?



Hailed by many as the next Ronaldinho of Brazil, Douglas Costa has been contacted by Manchester United, with a view to replace departed Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to the Brazilian’s representative, Cesar Bottega, United are leading the pursuit of the £20 million-rated winger. With over £80 million to spend on new signings, £20 million is only small change to Ferguson.

Douglas have recently signed a four-year contract which will keep him at the Olimpico Monumental until 2013. But with United having lost a key offensive player of their squad, it appears that the Devils may swoop for his services sooner rather than later.

"There have been informal conversations and I believe Manchester United would match those values," Bottega told the Brazilian press.

He does look quite good in the video. More like Manchester City's Robinho than Ronaldinho though.

Manchester United Accepted Real Ronaldo Bid




-According to manutd.com

Manchester United have received an unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.

At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.

Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to win things and I think anybody will recognise that he has much more chance of winning things, certainly in the short to medium term, at Manchester United than Real. Then why is Real Madrid so alluring?

Will he be Galáctico number 2 at Real Madrid?

Ferhat Ciftci revealed that Corinthians has received bids for the talented 20 years old forward bids and a transfer fee is being discussed.

Video Report: Highlights Of CL Finals Barcelona Beat Manchester United 2-0




The Champions League trophy went to Barcelona, who had outclassed holders Manchester United to win their third Champions League crown with a 2-0 victory.

Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi gave the Catalans a deserved victory and denied United from becoming the first team to win back to back Champions League trophy tonight.

It gave the Spaniards a unique treble having already won their domestic league and cup and meant they repeated a feat United achieved in 1999, which Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson had then claimed would never be matched.

This win crowned a marvellous debut season for his Barcelona's manager Pep Guardiola, who at 38 becomes the youngest coach to take European club football's greatest prize.

It was a special night for Thierry Henry too. The first CL medals in his illustrious career.

"Finally I have won it! I have been waiting for so long for this moment," said the France great, whose daughter celebrated her birthday as well on Wednesday.

"The last five minutes were the longest of my life.

"Even if we were 2-0 up we were playing the best team in the world."

The best team won tonight. Barcelona, the Champions Of Europe.

Video Interview: Alex Ferguson Fully Expects A Victory Against Hull 22/5/09



It is that time of the year again. Which club will fall through the relegation trapdoor this Sunday? Hull's chances are probably better since Man Utd will be fielding a weakened side. A fact that Ferguson vehemently denies.

Ferguson's excuse for fielding a reserve side is that if he had played all his first team players on sunday, they would have been less than totally committed for fear of being injured before their Champions League final against Barcelona. Thus he is maintaining the integrity of EPL.

Ferguson said,“The rest of the league may think that would be good because United are playing their strongest team but it could be the worst thing that could happen to us. It’s possible, with a European Cup final on Wednesday, those players could be tip-toeing around.

“But there is no need for anyone to worry about our intentions on Sunday. We have a League that has the best integrity in the world and we will play our part at Hull.

"There will be experienced international players relishing the chance to come back alongside some with fantastic potential."

“The only thing they have to prove is that the minute they put that jersey on, they have to win. It doesn’t matter what XI I pick, that is what they have to prove.”

It should be Tomasz Kuszczak, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Richard Eckersley, Darren Fletcher, Darron Gibson, Rodrigo Possebon, Danny Welbeck, Federico Macheda, Lee Martin or Zoran Tosic lined up against Hull on Sunday.

And on that note, whip out your hankies, and say goodbye to the teams who had lasted this long before relegating.
