Ashley Young could be sold by Manchester United in January.

The Telegraph says Young is facing an increasingly uncertain future at Manchester United and could be sold by David Moyes next year after sparking more controversy with his apparent dive against Real Sociedad on Tuesday.

The former Aston Villa winger has more than 2½ years left on his estimated £75,000-a-week contract and may be made available in the January transfer window, though with Wilfried Zaha expected to go out on loan, a summer exit is far more likely.

Young could also feel there is no future at United, especially after slipping out of contention with both club and country, and he is understood to be concerned that a lack of opportunities are harming his hopes of making Roy Hodgson’s World Cup squad.

8 - Man Utd have allowed only 8 shots on target in the Champions League this season. Only Bayern ( 6 ) have a lower figure. Tight.

Interesting fact i read while bored at work. OOT a bit.

1 -- Rogerio Ceni

The daddy, the don, the king, the toppest of the goalscoring keeper dogs, it really couldn't be anyone else at Number 1. Since making his debut in 1993, Ceni has (note the present tense, more of which later) scored 112 goals in his career. One hundred and twelve. That's more (in admittedly a longer time period) than Kaka. Ceni once scored twice in a game and saved a penalty. Ceni, of course, is so prolific because he not only takes spot-kicks, but free kicks, too -- and bloody good ones. Look at his 100th career goal, but perhaps more important, look how excited the Sao Paulo fans were before he took his free kick. And you know what the most remarkable thing is? Aged 40, he's still going, still playing for Sao Paulo and as recently as July this season, still scoring goals.

Freaking crazy if you ask me.

more books?

"David James recalls his experience of the culture [at Manchester United] through time spent away with England, and how the United players would police themselves, supporting each other to the fullest extent. 'All these hours of sitting around...and not once did any United player ever reveal anything to me about their team-mates, their dressing room or their manager. In an industry renowned for its gossip I find that extraordinary...Even when the media reported chaos in the United dressing room...there were no comments from the United boys...It all contributed to that sense of separation: there were United players, and then there was the rest of us."

This, notes Harris in his superb account, "all of this, manifested on the pitch: outrageous perseverance, collective brilliance, improbable comebacks, late goals, and intimidating unity. That's how the Treble happened."

Say what you want about Liverpool, but they are actually undefeated in the champions league for over 3 years
