uhr.. how can it start early?? u mean start later is it?
if it starts early, then it might be clashing with the World Cup's schedule, or the players won't get enough time to rest... :s11:

epl start early next season is to give players enough time to prepare for the world cup when the season end. :s8:

[kahmun7]

epl start early next season is to give players enough time to prepare for the world cup when the season end. :s8:

Sven-Goran Eriksson was today guaranteed his four-week break ahead of the World Cup finals as the Football Association moved next season's FA Cup sixth round to a midweek date.

[usjag_18]

I hope that Man Utd English players will not join the national team to go for the USA Tour. In the first place, our clubs will also have pre-tour competition, that will be too tiring for our English players. I hate England FA! They are really being very inconsiderate in this matter. Not that I disagree tat pre-tour will be good for our players, but not during the period when they are resting for the next season.

Better The Devil Roo Know, Sven

Maradona had it, Gazza had it, and now Wayne Rooney's got it. In spades. The United star was superb in everything he did yesterday, but above all he showed that touch of devilment that separates the great from the very good. On the ball he's a genius; off it he's a ball of snarling spite. Poetry when in possession, in pursuit of it he's damn near possessed. But it's the demons that make the pug-faced Scouser such a delight to watch. I can think of no other player in the Premiership who could have done what Rooney did when creating England's third goal. The amazing thing is, we almost expect that kind of genius from Rooney, even though he's not yet out of his teens.

omg, brazil ronaldo has always been no 10... which is the no of striker or the most respected no in a team
ronaldo is 9 mah..
iirc 10 was worn by rivaldo in the last world cup...

Iker Casillas has admitted he could be tempted by an offer to join Manchester United.
The Real Madrid shot-stopper is believed to be one of a number of goalkeepers being considered by United.
The Red Devils are set to lose Roy Carroll on a Bosman transfer and Spaniard Ricardo is also leaving after failing to forge a first team place.
Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to be keen on a top-rate keeper to challenge Tim Howard, although the new man is likely to be handed the number one jersey.
A host of big names are being linked with United, including Francesco Toldo, Sebastian Frey, Antti Niemi and Casillas.
The 23-year-old Spaniard admits he would consider United.
"For a long time Manchester United have been interested in me," he is quoted in The Daily Star.
"An offer has been put to my agent but, for me, money is not everything in life.
"There are a lot of questions to be answered before I could leave Madrid but I like The Premiership and United is one of the few clubs that I would go to if I were to leave Spain.
"That is because of its history, tradition, supporters and the way they treat their players.
"I've spoken with (United boss) Sir Alex Ferguson several times after matches and I know that he likes me."
Casillas is out of contract next season and sources in Spain are insistent contract talks with Real will begin soon and the chances of him leaving El Santiago Bernabeu appear remote.

[keltan]

Manchester United's forgotten man Ricardo has admitted he is bemused as to why he has not been giving a chance to play for the Premiership giants.
Ricardo was bought to the club from Valladolid in 2002 but has spent time on loan Racing after making just five appearances for United - one of which was in the league.
The Spaniard is set to walk away from Old Trafford in the summer, but is annoyed he was not given more of a chance at Old Trafford, especially with both Roy Carroll and Tim Howard picking up criticism for high profile blunders.
"My situation is not logical," said Ricardo - who has previously indicated his desire to remain in English football.
"I know I am a good keeper - I have played for Spain four times.
"I don't think [Sir Alex] Ferguson doesn't believe in me. He has never told me that.
"But he has selected other keepers and I don't know why."

should Ole retire?

Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is concerned that he will not be the same player when he eventually recovers from his troublesome knee problem.

The Norwegian hit-man has been suffering from the injury ever since 2003 and has now conceded that he is unsure how he will respond to a comeback.

After missing nearly two years of his career, Solskjaer is still undergoing an extensive rehabilitation process, with a concrete return date yet to be scheduled.

The 32-year-old last appeared for United in a cameo role in last season's FA Cup final, although he is still one of the most popular players at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer played a central role in the amazing comeback that saw the English giants claim victory in the 1999 UEFA Champions League final, and has praised the club's fans for the support they have shown him during his troubled times.

"I'm proud to hear them singing for me and to see the banner," said Solskjaer.

"It means they really appreciate what I have done for the club and the effort I have put in.

"I feel I have given 100 percent for them and I hope to do the same again when I get back.

"On the other hand, it scares you a little bit as well because they're waiting for something they may not get.

"I've been out for two years so can't promise how good I'll be when I get back, but I promise I'll do what I can to be a better player."

Solskjaer visited surgeons again in February and has now eventually begun running, albeit tentatively, with a view to what would undoubtedly be an emotional return.

"I started jogging a couple of days ago, just light work, running the short sides of the pitch and walking around the long sides," Solskjaer continued.

"I do a bit of jogging just so I can send the message to my legs that they have to start running again soon."

Ole reveals comeback fear

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fears that United fans may never see him return to his best as he continues his recovery from knee surgery.

The Norwegian striker admits that the return he is working so hard to engineer carries with it a lingering fear that he may not be able to reach his previous levels of performance.

“I’ve been out for two years so can’t promise how good I’ll be when I get back, but I promise I’ll do what I can to be a better player,” Ole Gunnar told United magazine.

Solskjaer also admitted his pride at remaining a favourite among fans who, in his absence, have unveiled a Stretford End banner which simply reads '20 Legend'.
Ole said: “I’m proud to hear the fans singing for me and to see the banner. It means they really appreciate what I have done for the club and the effort I have put in.

“I feel I have given 100 per cent for them and I hope to do the same again when I get back. On the other hand, it scares you a little bit as well because they’re waiting for something they may not get."

Ole admitted his frustration during pre-season, when his injury failed to react positively to a summer break.

He said: “I thought it would go away in the summer when I got some rest, but it didn’t. In pre-season I got more and more frustrated because I couldn’t do what I wanted to do. I could see other players improving and I was just deteriorating.”

However, the good news is that Ole's return is tiptoeing closer as his rehabiliation steps up a gear to light jogging.

He revealed: “I started jogging a couple of days ago - just light work, running the short sides of the pitch and walking round the long sides.

“I do a bit of jogging just so I can send the message to my legs that they have to start running again soon.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was talking to United magazine.

Go to hell, Glazer. :s27: :mad:



Glazer in with £790m bid
By NEIL CUSTIS

MANCHESTER UNITED expect to be hit with a £790million offer for their club this week.

The board and fans groups are bracing themselves for the new and improved formal bid from American multi-millionaire Malcolm Glazer.

The club have been trying to fight the American off for over a year now — but he will not go away. And this week he is expected to make his biggest move yet.

The United board will then have to decide to recommend the offer of £3 a share to shareholders, reject it or offer no advice.

The club rejected Glazer’s last bid in October. Glazer would have to borrow a substantial amount of the money, around £200m, plunging United into debt.

Much still depends on what majority shareholders John Magnier and JP McManus do.

The racehorse owners have 28.9 per cent of the club and would only be expected to consider selling if the club recommended the offer or offered no advice. Glazer is second biggest shareholder with 28.1 per cent.

Fans groups have urged the board to stand firm or face a huge backlash if they choose to offer no advice.

Not For Sale campaign spokesman Sean Bones said: “That would be a fudge of the highest order.

“Of course this would be in no way acceptable to United supporters.

“If a similar aggressive bid by Glazer was not rejected by the board their position in the eyes of the shareholders would become untenable.”

United chief executive David Gill is already under huge pressure after last week suggesting Alex Ferguson was sackable.

he should use his $ for better use...how much can he earn by buying man united...there are many other ways to make big money..he should just stick to US and earn his keep there...US sports have bigger $ there..i think...

[jackohy]

I think its has gone beyond profit or money for Glazer. Imagine if you were a very proud and rich tycoon and try to buy over a football club but eventually defeated and shamed ... you think you will let it go so easily and not bear grudges.

It has become an issue of the insult of defeat and not giving up his pride ... no matter wat cost also have to get Man U. Unless his other businesses fails ... i doubted he would ever give up. He would definitely constant thorn in Man U.

Let hope all the Man U fans up their shares to deter him.

bo liao freak

[Raul7]

Gabriel Heinze admits he has been touched by the vocal support he has received from Manchester United fans.

The Argentina international has become something of a cult figure at Old Trafford since joining the club from Paris Saint Germain last summer.

He has rapidly proved himself to be one of Sir Alex Ferguson's more astute buys and has quickly made the left back slot his own.

But the stopper concedes he was fearful that his nationality may prevent him from winning over the Red Devils faithful.

Argentina and England have a long history inside, and outside, of football and Heinze was worried that may affect his spell at Old Trafford.

Instead, Heinze has been buoyed to hear chants of 'Argentina' ring around the ground and has been delighted by the reception he has received from the United fans.

"I'm so grateful for those chants, especially given everything that's gone on between England and Argentina," admitted Heinze.

"It's something that touches me deep down inside.

"It makes me feel really good and I'm proud and honoured that they do that for me.

"When you come to a new club, you hope the supporters will appreciate you, so I'm very thankful to the United fans for the support they have shown."

However, if he dun stop bidding, one of these days, I scare Man Utd cannot endure anymore... Maybe some of the suppporters from shareholdings can send a professional killer and threaten him, hehehee... =:p

Okie okie, I must be crazy to suggest this, hehehe.... j/kidding.... But I am :frus: too, but wat can we do? Ermm... Maybe write a letter to IKEA or MICROSOFT to invest in Man Utd? hehehe.. btw, IKEA's owner is currently the RICHEST man in the world FYI... hahahaa...

Glazer is a menace who IS having a DIRECT effect on Man Utd. The board have already declared him a hostile bidder and that they will resist his takeover attempt. Anyone who knows a little about business takeover tactics knows that a target for a hostile takeover has no choice but to curb its spending and ambitions in order to maintain a cash warchest to fight the predator.

Now SAF kpkb about the board not releasing funds... sad to say but I sympathise with the Man Utd board for being sandwiched.... cannot release funds to buy players because they need it to resist Glazer... already spent well over half a millions simply on legal fees on this one issue.... naibei lao fker waste Man Utd cash for fiak.... force Utd to stick to strict budget ... tie down millions as cash warchest that should be released to buy top class players... chau ah pek..... :mad:

Seriously, I dun think W.Brown is bad. In fact, he's better @ right back instead of centre-back. He's not that bad, except always having serious injuries. In fact, he's one of the youngest players that comes thru durign 1998/1999.

Ya larh, W.Brown quite poor thing, always tio injuries these 2-3 seasons, then ppl are not giving him chances becos racism... Sad sia. Some Man Utd supporters/fans are quite racists, I met some of them in IRC, always insult W.BRown. Can't believe it man, if they like R.Ferdinand, den why must they used those racism thing to insult W.Brown? I think ppl shouldn't be racist towards players not matter black or white or yellow skins.


Rgds,

[rVn_mUfC]

Wes Brown tackling is definitely one of the best, but he is not the coolest defender around. It doesn't help when his seaso had always been distrupted frequently. Give this lad some credit to come back from serious injury so many time.

[Raul7]

hmmm.. nt bad lor.. agree that he better play RB.. there was once he quite on form but injury come his way and disrupt him.. that was the long injury i guess.. come back no form liao.. haiz suay manz

ya i think he played as a right back better....cos he got speed and recover fast :)

[leslielai_]

With Wes Brown, comes the own goals (a la spiderman)

[chengsun]

buddy, u tot he wanted those own goals one meh. ppl do make mistake, maybe he made a bit too many, give him time, give him confidence, i believe he can claim a seat in england team

[RVN]

Don't be so critical of Brown, he is now a much better player than a few years ago. :s8:

[usjag_18]

With Wes Brown, comes the own goals (a la spiderman)
Own goal? hahaha... Is this a factor to judge people? Then if that's so, then I think a lot of people shld use the same way to judge J.Stam. He did scored a couple of own goal b4 too, but that doesn't costs a lot of problems. Maybe the problem with W.Brown is he doesn't suits to play as a centre-back.
I felt that whenever he's playing as a right-back, he got better communication with the goalie. Otherwise, he will always make a couple mistakes. I believe he can get better.

[Ronaldo_7]

Don't be so critical of Brown, he is now a much better player than a few years ago. :s8:

hahaa.. pple often remember the mistakes rather than the credits.. this is the problem with most pple.. mistake easy to spot while credit hard to remember.. haiz.. everyone makes mistake.. its only the matter of putting the mistakes behind u and get on with what we are going to do in future.. brown is getting better.. be patient and give him time :)

[Ronaldo7]

actually brown is quite good one . just that he is very suey with all those injuries and those own goals he scored :s22: he is quite impressive on the right too

[kahmun7]

yeah no one seems to remember 2 seasons ago, he and rio partnership was one of the reason Man Utd erased that er.. forgot was it 12 point lead from Arsenal to win the title?

[jackohy]

Hey guys,

how do you find spector yar? In the few games he play, i think he is a dam good prospect for Man U ... fast, hardworking, aggressive, always chase after ball (unlike some Man U defenders) ... exciting to watch.

Hopefully SAF will give him more run in first team and he will grown into another Heinze, stable and always give 101%.

RED ISSUE NEWS EXCLUSIVE – FERGIE WILL QUIT AT END OF SEASON
Story by editor
1 April 2005

Gill’s comments prove the last straw, and we’re the ones losing out.

David Gill’s comments last week about Fergie being sackable were not just off the cuff, it appears as if it was the ‘end game’ of a behind the scenes battle which will culminate in Fergie ‘retiring’ at the end of the season. The board feel that with the lack of success over the past two seasons, and the Glazer bid providing distraction, they hope that the backlash against the decision will be ‘containable’.

But Red Issue has learnt that this will trigger a game of managerial merry-go-round. United will replace Fergie with Eriksson, who is leaving before the World Cup as the FA no longer have confidence in his ability. The FA have a verbal agreement with Jose Mourinho that he will take over the national team. He has fallen out big style with Kenyon over the recent bad press, and had already decided to walk out on Chelsea before the offer of the England job came along.


This leaves a vacancy at Chelsea, and we have been told by an impeccable source that they will fill it with none other than Sir Alex Ferguson. He is very angry with the Plc board and is ready to spend two years at Stamford Bridge in an attempt to win his second European Cup. The fears are that he will take Rio, Rooney and possibly Ronaldo with him.

IMUSA are already working on this issue and expect to make a statement as soon as it breaks, it should be in the Times by Saturday. Expect more reaction in the news this afternoon.

Source: red issue (obviously).




Although today its April Fool, thats a poor attempt of a joke. :s22:

sorry dindn't read top far back but imo brown should not be so criticised...brown will probably become united's new RB after retirement of the neviller... as has been mentioned, he's pretty fast and generally reliable...also quite surprised by the runs he has been making the last few games when standing in for gary.. although his crossing must improve for him to provide that extra attacking edge...now if he can remain injury free for more than 1 season, i think we got a future legend in the squad

on the other hand silvestre is probably the weakest link in united's backline... i dun like the way he sometimes freezes when he is pressured by opponents... his reaction plays are good, but somehow he cocks up when forced to make a decision...

anyway let's look forward to the game this weekend... rio might be out, but i think our backline should keep a clean sheet.. blackburn will most probably play a defensive 4-5-1 and hope for a draw.. and with RvN finally finding his scoring touch, and Rooney generally impressing in the England WC qualifiers (albeit against 2nd-rate oppostion), united should be good for a 2-0 win :D

First of all, let's discuss abt out back 4 and the reserves back 4. W.BRown indeed needs some practices with his crossing. I got the feelings he can be the replacement for G.Neville. Seriously, he got the speed, also able to detect his team-mates @ the right location, but sometimes, his crossings are too low or too far. And also, he's being low confident in himself since he ain't playing a lot of games. So maybe he needs more confident.

As for M.Silvestre, I dun think he's the weakest link behind the back 4. But I guess after resting for a couple of games, he come back with very low morale in playing the game, otherwise, I think he played quite well together with R.Ferdinand. And I felt that he's one of the better ones that can passes very good long ball towards the opponents' territory.

Nxt coming will be both R.Ferdinand & G.Heinze. Seriously, both of them are v.gd signings. But I still disagree that R.Ferdinand worth 30m pounds, but we got no choice @ that moment, it's just like we got no choice in gettting W.Rooney @ 30m pounds. However, G.Heinze is totally more than what he worth, he given a stronger defensive left side and surprisingly, he can also attack well. Just like M.Silvestre, he is always able to shoot long balls towards other team-mates and also able find his team-mates by running the ball towards the opponents' side. But did make a few mistakes when he's playing against AC Milan, like MIA a couple of times or lose out in pace against his opponents, but made a couple of similar mistakes together with R.Ferdinand by running to front. However, this is good when they are concentrating and more confident. Sometimes, I still find them lacking confident & communication among the back 4 & the goalie. Hope this problem can be solved sooner.


Next, it's the attacking players. I hope tat Solskjaer will be back, so we will have one more experienced player who will be able to help out with the youngsters. Also, I will like to hope RVN can did wat he did for Holland during the WC qualifiers for Man Utd too. Let's keep our faith with him.

Smith Loves Life At United



Alan Smith is "enjoying every minute" playing for United and believes he has made improvements to his game since joining in the summer.

The Yorkshireman was recently touted as a transfer target for Newcastle, a rumour publicly denied by the player's agent.

Although not responding directly to the newspaper speculation, Smith told Manchester United Radio ahead of the Reds' Premiership game with Blackburn that he is enjoying life at Old Trafford.

"I've enjoyed every minute since I've been here," he said. "Having this bit of time off with an injury has just made me more eager to get back in the team.

"You want to be a part of every game. When I've been fit, I've been involved in every match - that's an important thing for me."

Smith has been hampered by an ankle injury in recent weeks, but his absence from England's World Cup qualifying games has allowed him to work on his fitness in preparation for the final two months of the season.

The fiery forward is now looking to give Sir Alex Ferguson some selection problems by challenging the first-choice partnership of Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"You hope you're not just a bit-part. You want to be a major part of the team. That is why I came here."

"I've been training now for four weeks," he said. "These injuries tend to niggle at you for a while afterwards, but you just have to keep building it up.

"I'm back in the squad and pushing for a starting place. That's what we're all here for. You want to give the manager a selection problem - I hope I'm giving him plenty of problems!

Smith added: "I think I have become a better player since I joined. Definitely. I think I have improved in general. I'm playing with the best players, not just the best in this country but some of the best in the world.

"It gives you confidence to know you're a part of that group of players. You hope you're not just a bit-part. You want to be a major part of the team. That is why I came here and I think I've managed to become an important part of the squad."

Smith is unconcerned about his exclusion from the England squad for the qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan. The 24-year-old striker already knew he would not be involved because of his time out injured.

"I didn't expect to get called up," he admits. "I'm just getting back to full fitness. It was nice to have a few days off and also work in training to get my ankle right.

"I knew I wasn't going to be in the squad. Our gaffer had spoken to Sven and told him I'd been out for a while.

"I watched the games. Sven is building a good squad for the future and I want to be part of that. I believe I am good enough to be a part of it. I'm sure I will be."

For now, Smith is concentrating on his Old Trafford career and continuing to show boundless enthusiasm every time he pulls on a United shirt.

"That's what we're here for," he said. "Players that are enthusiastic can create a great atmosphere for the other players. You want to enjoy yourself when you go out on the pitch and that is certainly something I have done this season."

'Nightmare' as Fergie sacks six starlets


Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed the release of six youngsters as a direct result of his decision to disband one of Manchester United's reserve sides.
Salford-born defender Paul Tierney is the only one of the sextet to have enjoyed first team experience, a Carling Cup defeat at West Brom last year, although Ramon Calliste was part of the Welsh Under-21 squad for the double-header with Austria.


Ben Collett, David Poole, Steven Hogg and Lee Lawrence are also being shown the door, with Ferguson admitting there were not enough opportunities available at United to justify keeping them.

'It has been a nightmare,' Ferguson told the Manchester Evening News.

'If we still had an Under-17 and Under-19 side, then the natural progression after the latter is reserve football.

'But now we have only one youth team the under-18s have nowhere to go.

'We depended on our youth teams and when one went, we chose to go with two reserve sides but we don't have enough players at that level to do it.'

As well as cutting down player numbers, Ferguson also intends to utilise the loan system more extensively in an effort to give those who do remain more valuable experience.

Chris Eagles is currently at Watford, while Kieran Richardson has been turning in impressive performances during West Brom's relegation fight.

'Next season, with only one reserve team, we are going to farm more players out,' said Ferguson.

'I think loans will be good for them to get league experience.'

I think it's okay,
so many players we have let go in the past... Danny Higginbotham(Soto), Phil Mulryne(Norwich) , and the loaned out Luke Chadwick (West Ham) if you think about it, they won't get a regular place in the starting line-up if they had stayed at Man Utd. I guess some youths make it, and some youths just don't. wonder if one day, they will be another excellent batch like the batch who had matured into the current Man Utd squad...

speaking of Chadwick, think he did quite well when he was given a chance, just don't know what happened to him. :s11:

Is L.Chadwick loaned out? I tot he is sold to other clubs before going to West Ham Utd. *sigh* I just find that it's really hard to find good young players nowadays in England. Especially, after the stupid rules coming out abt not be able to search for good local players. I dun meant that Manchester doesn't have good players, they do, for example, W.Brown, P.Scholes, even R.Giggs are living in Manchester areas. But still, we should be able to look up for other places to let the players to have chances to play all over the places. Luckily, the rules not started before hand, otherwise, we won't have the excellent 1992 Fergie's Fledgings. I have no idea what England FA thinking. But everytime, they started some rules or FINES against MAN UTD, I only have one thinking - they need to sack all their old-fashion thinkers committee members becos they are doing nothing but harm towards their national team & also towards England clubs. For instant, big clubs like Arsenal & Chelsea will have no choice but to sign foreigner players but @ the same time, they will unable to produce players from their youth teams, then all the trouble will be started. Then after that even UEFA also starting to have such request. Unbelievable. Luckily, Man Utd never have such problems in growing our very own local talents. But it's still very hard. At least, UEFA is more reasonable for asking as long as there are at least 5 members are from the country. Whereas England FA's request is too unreasonable. Sickening members from the committee.

FERDINAND FIT FOR FERGUSON


Rio Ferdinand has been passed fit for Manchester United’s Barclays Premiership encounter with Blackburn Rovers at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The 26-year-old central defender limped out of England’s World Cup qualifying win over Azerbaijan on Wednesday raising doubts over his availability for this weekend’s game.

But Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed Ferdinand will play, with the only returning international player in doubt being Gabriel Heinze, who was not due to be back from Argentina until late on Friday.

Louis Saha and Darren Fletcher (both knee) have resumed full training and should be available for next weekend’s trip to Norwich City.

Meanwhile, Blackburn skipper Andy Todd has recovered from the ‘flu which forced him off at half-time of his side’s 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal a fortnight ago.

Todd will lead the side for a trip which sees manager Mark Hughes return to Old Trafford where he was so successful as a player.

Hughes, though, is again without influential midfielder Robbie Savage who is drawing closer to a return from a groin injury, while striker Paul Dickov is doubtful with his own groin problem.

Manchester United (from): Howard, Carroll, Ricardo, G Neville, Brown, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Heinze, O’Shea, Fortune, Ronaldo, Scholes, Keane, Kleberson, Miller, Giggs, Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Smith.

Blackburn Rovers (from): Friedel, Neill, Todd, Nelsen, Matteo, Mokoena, Johansson, Emerton, Thompson, Reid, Flitcroft, Tugay, Pedersen, Dickov, Stead, Gallagher, Johnson, Enckelman

Ferguson Demands More Clinical Finishing


Sir Alex Ferguson will demand his players prove more clinical in front of goal as United aim to push Chelsea all the way in the Premiership.

United's last outing saw Ferguson lamenting a return of one goal from 23 opportunities in United's last Premiership outing, a drab 1-0 victory over Fulham.

"I was disappointed with our performance against Fulham," said Sir Alex, the two-week international break evidently not allowing his frustration to ease. "We created 23 opportunities and scored one goal. That's not acceptable here."

"There are players like Alan Smith, Louis Saha, John O'Shea and Phil Neville have every right to be saying 'I can do just as well' and will want to be playing.

"We need to start taking the chances we are creating. We're better than we showed against Fulham and I hope we convert more of our opportunities."

However, the Reds boss can take heart as much as United's eight remaining Premiership opponents will take note from Ruud van Nistelrooy's midweek goal for Holland against Armenia.

It was the Dutchman's first goal since 27 November against West Brom, his final game before an Achilles problem snatched denied him three months of football.

"I was so delighted Ruud got his goal," Sir Alex said. "It was the biggest boost I had all week. Knowing Ruud and the type of player he is, he could easily go on now and score in every game until the end of the season.

"I've said it before, strikers are like that. When they are scoring they don't think they'll miss one, and when they're not they don't think they're ever going to score."

There is no escaping the fact, however, that United's hopes of winning the title are increasingly thinning. Eleven points separate the Reds and Chelsea, and Jose Mourinho's side could have the championship wrapped up before the month of April is out.

It would take a capitulation of epic proportions for United to lift the trophy they have won eight times.

"You have got to depend on and trust that the players are good professionals. I think my players are. They have got terrific quality in their play. But playing for Manchester United means there are certains demands and expectations you have to live up to.

"If we can do that we just have to hope Chelsea do slip. They will lose points, it just depends when. It may come too late for us.
"We have to keep hoping that they'll go to places like Southampton and get a scabby 0-0 draw. Who knows, the big lad Crouch might get one of his headers. It's difficult when you're playing teams fighting for their lives."

On Tuesday this week, Ferguson attended a dinner where he was handed a Lifetime Achievement Award for his services to football. One of the guests on his table was his former player and his opposite number on Saturday, Blackburn boss Mark Hughes.

"They were all sitting beside me at the table on Tuesday night," said Ferguson. "There was a fantastic array of talent; Eric Cantona, Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson, Alex McLeish and Willie Miller. It was fantastic to have them all there.

"But just to emphasise how difficult a game it will be against Blackburn, Sparky had a kick at me under the table. I'll be wearing my shin guards when I come up against Sparky, that's for sure."

And Ferguson is expecting an equally tough time from Hughes' Blackburn Rovers at Old Trafford on Saturday.

"Mark has galvanised Blackburn," he said. "You can never be too sure when you're down at the bottom of the league. But I think he's got them into a safe enough position. They're a tough team to break down and they play some good football. They'll be a tough test for us, we know that."

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY: -

Van Higher
Ruud van Nistelrooy finally got back on the goalscoring trail and then revealed his Manchester United hell. Van Nistelrooy scored his first goal since November in Holland’s 2-0 win over Armenia on Wednesday night. He said: "It has been a very tough and miserable time for me. Being out injured was very frustrating. But ithas also been frustrating coming back and not being able to score. The worst thing has been in training everything has been spot on. I started to think that for the first time in a long time things were going to start happening again. Then, come the game, the goals just have not gone in. It was just great to score again. It gave me a great feeling."
Neil Custis, The Sun

Roo's The Man
Sven Goran Eriksson says Wayne Rooney can be the man to turn England from World Cup also-rans into winners. The United star was outstanding in the World Cup qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan, even though he did not score. He was involved in five of the six goals England netted and was at the hub of almost every attack. Eriksson admits that, for any team to lift the big one, they must have a special player who makes the difference. "All the teams who win a big trophy have one star who can do something extra. I think we have more than one star. But Wayne Rooney is something extra and in 1½ years, when the World Cup finals come round, hopefully he will be even better. I feel privileged to work with Rooney."

Ya, basically, i dun think it's becos of unable to break into the first team, so they are sacked. If I am not wrong, P.Tierney has already played once for the first team, as for another player, D.Poole shld have the highest chances to play for Man Utd in the future, so I guess most probably is due to the needs of cutting costs and also due to the stupid 90min rules by the England FA.

Sir Alex Ferguson is backing Ruud van Nistelrooy to end his goal drought for Manchester United after the striker scored for Holland in midweek.

Van Nistelrooy has not netted in six appearances for The Red Devils following his comeback from a three-month lay-off with an Achilles injury.

He has also looked rusty and short of sharpness at club level but he rediscovered his goalscoring touch in midweek while on international duty.

The marksman notched a well-taken goal in Holland's 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Armenia to give himself a much-needed boost.

The Dutchman's effort also lifted Ferguson, with the United boss now expecting his star striker to hit the goal trail.

"Ruud's goal was the biggest boost I had all week," said Ferguson.

"I was so delighted for him because knowing Ruud and the type of player he is, he could easily go on and score in every match until the end of the season.

"I was a striker myself and I know how they think. When they score they don't believe they will ever miss a chance, when they are not scoring they don't think they are ever going to get one."

Van Nistelrooy should lead the line for United on Saturday when Blackburn Rovers pay a visit to Old Trafford.

United's title rivals Chelsea were upset with Rovers' aggressive approach during their meeting in February but Ferguson perceives there to be nothing untoward about Blackburn.

He added: "That was just Chelsea moaning and groaning.

"I have seen Blackburn play and of course they are determined. When you are at the bottom you expect to be playing against teams who are determined."

[Raul7]

Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes has hailed Sir Alex Ferguson as the best manager ever on the eve of his side's trip to Old Trafford.

Hughes comes up against his former mentor for the first time as a manager when Rovers travel to United on Saturday.

The former Wales boss, who enjoyed a successful spell under Ferguson, feels he has learnt a lot from the Scot and he has the utmost respect for his achievements in the game.

"His record speaks for itself," said Hughes.

"He has had a fantastic impact on both sides of the border, as well as all over Europe and the world, and I feel very fortunate to have been in a number of his teams.

"Since he has been Manchester United manager he has been exceptional in every aspect of the way he approaches his job and he has the trophies to back that up as well.

"He is the best in the business, and remarkably he still has the drive and desire to be the best.

"But just lately that drive, which has always been there, is more to the fore because he is excited with the group of players he has and the potential they have to be another great Manchester United team.

"Because of that, he will be around for a long, long time. I hope he is. I know I would love him to continue because he is a fantastic football man, has a great knowledge of the game, and from my own point of view, he is very supportive."

Hughes accepts he faces a tough challenge coming up against Ferguson, but he is determined to come away from Old Trafford with a positive result.

"It's a big ask pitting my wits against him, but I'm looking forward to it," added Hughes.

"That's the level I'm competing at. You have to go against the best in the business, and Sir Alex is the best ever.

"But we need the points. From our point of view I would say two more wins, 37 to 38 points, will be enough this year to avoid relegation."

Ferguson is looking forward to pitting his wits against another one of his former players who has moved into management.

"I spoke to Hughes some months ago and I said he had done his apprenticeship at Wales and it is not easy to be an international manager as there are a lot of frustrations.

"There is no day to day involvement so I said think about the next offer that comes your way as at your age you need to get into club management.

"That was my opinion and I think it was a matter of time really.

"He's a good man, a terrific man, always determined.

"He's had perseverance about him and that's why he is doing well at management as he has brought these qualities into his management and he knows his strengths."

Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes has hailed Sir Alex Ferguson as the best manager ever on the eve of his side's trip to Old Trafford.

Hughes comes up against his former mentor for the first time as a manager when Rovers travel to United on Saturday.

The former Wales boss, who enjoyed a successful spell under Ferguson, feels he has learnt a lot from the Scot and he has the utmost respect for his achievements in the game.

"His record speaks for itself," said Hughes.

"He has had a fantastic impact on both sides of the border, as well as all over Europe and the world, and I feel very fortunate to have been in a number of his teams.

"Since he has been Manchester United manager he has been exceptional in every aspect of the way he approaches his job and he has the trophies to back that up as well.

"He is the best in the business, and remarkably he still has the drive and desire to be the best.

"But just lately that drive, which has always been there, is more to the fore because he is excited with the group of players he has and the potential they have to be another great Manchester United team.

"Because of that, he will be around for a long, long time. I hope he is. I know I would love him to continue because he is a fantastic football man, has a great knowledge of the game, and from my own point of view, he is very supportive."

Hughes accepts he faces a tough challenge coming up against Ferguson, but he is determined to come away from Old Trafford with a positive result.

"It's a big ask pitting my wits against him, but I'm looking forward to it," added Hughes.

"That's the level I'm competing at. You have to go against the best in the business, and Sir Alex is the best ever.

"But we need the points. From our point of view I would say two more wins, 37 to 38 points, will be enough this year to avoid relegation."

Don't know true or not???

Glazer may not bid for Man Utd

American billionaire Malcolm Glazer may never bid for Manchester United, it has been revealed.

A source close to the £800 million deal told the Independent: "Even if things go swimmingly well [with the ongoing work on the bid], it could be a good couple of weeks before there's definitive movement."

While stressing that "a bid is still more likely than no bid", the source said there is now "a possibility" that the American businessman, 76, might concede that he will never gain ownership of the club and instead start looking for an exit strategy.
