Close to United


According to goal.com, the 21 year old striker from France is getting closer to join United.

His teammate said that Karim is set to join United this summer. Last week, there were news stated that Lyon is keen to keep the young prodigy at least until next year's World cup.

But, it is believed that Benzema has nothing againts United that will keep him not to sign for the newly crown BPL champions.

The young hot striker has been linked with moved to top European clubs over the last two seasons or so.

Young, quick, predatory instinct, and clinical finishing touch are some appealing that will United keep chasing Benzema. After Ronaldo and Tevez set to leave OT, Benzema has to be a priority for United in order to keep United's goal scoring habit next season.

I Rejected Barcelona, Milan & Real Madrid

Those one simple sentence means a lot for me and arguebly for all United fans all over the globe.

The best United last seasons revealed that he had rejected offers from Europe's best clubs including Real, Barca and Milan.

The Serbian decide to stay at United until his contract expires on 2012 after a talk with SAF just after he received offer from those three clubs.

The consequences with his stay is that he will receive raise on his wage to 70.000 pounds a week! Surely he worth that amount of money.

Good decision Vidic.

Welcome Valencia


Finally,

United has finally made their first signing this summer as Ecuadorian Striker, Antonio Valencia joins United on an undisclosed fee.

The 23 year old winger has been linked with moved to United after an impressive two seasons at the JJB stadium. He might not scored that many goal for Wigan, but his skill and pace might be the one part of his game that will contributed so much to United.

He is still young and still have time to adopt to United's playing style and combine well wtih the likes of Rooney, Berba, and Nani. With Ryan Giggs is on the twilight of his playing day, Valencia maybe the one to replace him with Nani also on the list.

Lets hope that the expectation towards him will not be as high as the one Berba received last season. Considering that Berba either did not get chance to perform or really did not perform, maybe Valencia could have otherwise.

Valencia, WELCOME to the Theater of dreams..

Now Tevez.Who's next?

Carlos Tevez is leaving United.

It is being confirm and it might not be a very good news for fans. Just last week, United offer him a permanent deal with a salary that will make him the highest-paid player at OT.Unfortunately, it did not worked out and the Argetinian decided to leave.

So,thank you for a fantastic couple of years Carlitos. Wish you the best in the future..

Asia Tour without Ronaldo.Is it worth it??


Towards the end of last season, I was so thrilled to hear the news that United will come to visit my country,Indonesia on July 20th. I was quickly turn to the internet to see where I can find the ticket to watch them play live against Indonesian all-star. I want to watch Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov, and co, running around the Senayan pitch, which is the biggest stadium in Indonesia. But.....

Only a week ago, I read that Ronaldo will be laving to Real!!Wow,.

Then I suddenly think that, is it worth my money to watch them train and play without CR7??

I certainly think so. Why??Simple.
I am a UNITED fan NOT CR7 fan.

I would like to say to all United fans in Indonesia that we must see Red Devils live even without Ronaldo. United will taste glory more in years to come.

Ronaldo leaving??who cares..United will come anyway.

Bojan Krkic



I read this morning on Manutd.com, that United is currently put a scout eye on predigest young talent from Spain, Bojan Krkic. It seems like that United really interested on signing the young talent.

Barca's young midfielder has been catching the attention of football fans after an impressing few seasons with the Catalan club. Last season, Bojan still under the shine star of Lionel Messi. He did not appear regurarly, but often impressed everytime he got the chance.

So, how is United prospect on signing the Spanniard??

Key moment: He struggled to make an impression here, but I saw him for Spain U21s against Belgium. He got the ball just inside their half, created space and then cracked a shot past the goalkeeper. Strengths: He has many; particularly a devastating mix of speed and agility, much like Lionel Messi, which allows him to go past players with ease. Bojan also has immense power in his shots and can score from a variety of positions. Weaknesses: Needs to learn when to pass and when to shoot, but decision-making is an asset that comes with experience. Suitability: With Berbatov up front, Bojan and Rooney could take up wide positions. I'd love to see them link up together. Estimated cost: Being at Barcelona, he might be difficult to prise away from the Nou Camp. But if we to pay the money and offer first-team opportunities, a fee of around £20million could get our man. It's a high price, but I think he'll soon become one of the best players in the world and would be a great asset.

Money oo Money..

The season has ended, then its time to spend. United so far has not made any signing yet. but expected to sign Ecuador's Valencia in the next few days. Meanwhile, Ronaldo potential departure of 80 M pound, has open the gate for United to buy more quality players.

I would like to suggest that United should by Frank ribery and Klauus jan huntellar, considering that Tevez are most likely to join City due to the permanent deal pending. Ribery would help United strenghten their defense. He is not selfish(unlike the no.7) and he would give boost of energy in midfield. Huntellar would give United goals even tough he is not a regular goal scorer, but he is still young and will improve whereas Berba is on his 28 and looks like did not contribute at all. Maybe Benzema would also be a great choice. His predatory instinct is needed to score goal. A player like Yaya toure whose strong, hard worker is also wha united need. Two young Serbians must quickly adopted to English style football because they are extremely talented. Two or three more defenders will be good for United. Ferdinand is on his 30 now, so United better start to look for replacement.

Overall, United has a great team, but still lack of quality to hit high quality oponent on a BIG game..

C'mon SAF, spend spend spend,.

Vidic:I'm NOT leaving

A simple word that would mean so much for United fan. Let CR7 go, he wanted to go. I don't really care. In my opinion, United achievement of winning BPL was contibuted so much by the great form from their defence. Van der sar broke British record of clean sheets. It helped United a lot, considering the face that United did not really perform againts the big four last season. No worries!!

Vidic was outstanding last season, except that forgettable night in Rome where Rio and Vidic was not performed at their best.

Vidic to stay??Yes.

Shocking but NOT surprising

Finally.......

CR7 will play for Real Madrid next season.

The news did not surprised me at all.The saga has been going round and round over the last two or three seasons. Madrid has been constantly try to get the 2008 World Player of the year. It was no surprises even more with the fact that Ronaldo act so unprofessional after being subtituted againts City few months ago. 

For me, Ronaldo would be nothing without United and SAF. He was only a teenager 6 years ago when he was bought for 12.24 m. This year, he will be sold for 80 m!!!A figure that I think show just how well United train a talent. I just dont think Ronaldo will be like he is right now if he doesn't play for United. He helped United win Champions league last season, but he wasn't the hero. So, for me, United must buy players with 80 m.Spend it on Ribery, Huntellar, Benzema,etc.

NO PLAYERS IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB ITSELF!!

We will move on without CR7......
