Video Highlights: Gabriel Obertan's Simple Feint

An audacious bit of skill? A moment of magic?

Obertan did not execute flashy step-overs or fancy tricks in Manchester Senior Cup against Oldham.

It was a seemingly simple feint that threw the defence off balance.

The former France Under-21 star signed from Bordeaux in the summer by Alex Ferguson is simply amazing.

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: Alex Ferguson Refuse To Answer Stupid Question

Sir Alex Ferguson was certainly not in his best mood when Talksport tried to interview him.

The Scotsman was noticeably irritated during the interview when the TalkSport reporter asked, "what scares Alex Ferguson?"

“I don't know what your talking about.” Alex Ferguson's response was curt and condescending. He was clearly afraid of a question like that.

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.

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 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.

Eric Cantona Coach Of Manchester United And Some Kung Fu Videos

According to Setanta Sports- Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has confirmed that managing United is something that he is keen to try when his acting career is over..

He says, “If I am to return [to football] one day it will be as a coach and because I could bring something new,” Cantona told La Provence.

“But it will be in England, with the national team or at Manchester."

This is not news because he had expressed desire to return to Man Utd to coach before. In 2008, he had revealed that he fancied the idea of helping out with the coaching at United. He wanted to produce a team in his style with the help of Sir Alex Ferguson.

The wise man will tell you "When the seagulls follow a trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much."

Cantona was a winner for Manchester United and the Reds were a winner for the mercurial Frenchman. He is a legend and will surely be a popular appointment with the fans.

However the ambiguity of his temperament may make some people frown if he is appointed as a Manchester United coach.

Benitez Is A Useless Chequebook Boss

Replying Benitez earlier rants that Sir Alex Ferguson's exorbitant expenditures on signings in the last 5 years, Fergie had insisted his transfer spending amounted to £24million less than Benitez’s since 2004.

And he told Benitez he should be dealing in facts following his infamous rant earlier this season.

“I was amazed when I saw what Rafa said,” said Fergie.

“I talked to the people in our sports technology department and said ‘check that out’ because I was sure I hadn’t spent that much.

“Then I worked out that in the last five years Liverpool have spent £24m more than us. So Rafa is well ahead of us.

“But I think you’ll see Rafa go on an incredible spending spree now. That’s an absolute certainty now he’s signed a new contract. They talk of a recession but there won’t be one at Liverpool.”

Fergie could not resist a further dig at Benitez, accusing him of being a chequebook boss who does not have the long-term vision to invest in young players in the way United have. “We’ve signed 18 players in the last five years,” said Fergie. “Eight of them are young players and there’s a balance about doing things correctly with us.

“We like to develop our young players but other clubs are maybe different. Rafa has a different philosophy to me but that’s the great thing about football – everyone has a different way of doing things.”

Although Benitez will get about £40m to strengthen his squad, Fergie said he would also be spending big and praised United’s owners, the Glazers, for always letting him land the players he wants.

I wonder why Benitez kept complaining that the Glazers did not give hm enough funds. He had ranted when he could not bring Gareth Barry to Liverpool last season. However he had been given 20 million pounds to waste on Robbie Keane. Weird chap.
