When you’re worth roughly $1 trillion, the price of any top class footballer will be cheap to you. Real Madrid were looking to pay something around £60-70 million for Ronaldo in the summer, but City’s new owners are happy to double that figure.
David Gill has admitted today that whilst United aren’t in the business of [...]

City Tapping Up Ronaldo
Fergie Brings Stability… And We Can Progress Without Carlos
With Rene Meulensteen taking on the new role as First Team Coach, filling the shoes of Mike Phelan who was promoted to Assistant Manager, he believes Sir Alex Ferguson has made the right decision in trusting in stability and continuity when appointing the two men.

Gill: Were We Worried? Nah
Whilst United fans were sweating over Dimitar Berbatov’s transfer last night, being forced to wait until 12.40am before confirmation finally came through.
However, David Gill claimed last night that the club were never worried, despite a late bid coming in from our local rivals Manchester City.
Gill: Why Frazier Wasn’t Sold And Saha Was
After possibly the most dramatic close of the transfer window ever, Manchester United finally landed their man, Dimitar Berbatov, and loaned out young striker, Frazier Campbell, in return.
Hull were prepared to pay £7million for the 20-year-old, following the brilliant season he’s had with them, aiding their promotion to the Premiership. However, Sir Alex Ferguson turned that [...]

Introducing Coton’s Replacement… Pinched From Ince
Last week I reported on the likelihood of Eric Steele, the recently employed Blackburn goalkeeping coach. Mark Hughes had his own man for the job, Kevin Hitchcock, when he took at the position at Manchester City, meaning that Steele joined Paul Ince at Blackburn less than a month ago.
Obviously United moved too slowly and missed [...]

No Love Lost Between Fergie and Ince
After 10 years of working as our goalkeeping coach, Tony Coton was forced in to retirement because of a persistent knee problem last season. The former City goalkeeper was regarded as one of the best coaches in the business, leaving United with the problem of replacing him.
However, Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that a deal [...]

Cantona: I Will Manage United When I’m Ready And Will Revolutionise Football
Carlos Queiroz’s decision to leave Manchester United and take on the Portugal job has certainly thrown a spanner in the works for us. Sir Alex Ferguson had been grooming Queiroz as his own replacement, allowing him far more freedom and responsibility than most assistant managers.
With Fergie already confirming that he only had two to three [...]
Chelsea Trying To Escape Racist Connections But Add Insult To United Injury
Whilst still confident United had it in them to go and win the league, the 2-1 to defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was pretty devastating. To equalise in the second half, only to lose due to a soft penalty awarded a couple of minutes from time, left me upset, frustrated, and angrier than I’d [...]
How Do We Keep Ronaldo? Replace Queiroz With Banto
When the news was finally confirmed that Carlos Queiroz was leaving Manchester United to become manager of Portugal, I was honestly absolutely gutted. He had been the man I’d backed to replace Sir Alex Ferguson in a few years time and the idea of finding another man capable of doing the job is pretty daunting.
In [...]

Forget Ronaldo - Reasons Why Queiroz Is The Man We Need To Stay
“There is a need to sweep away the dirt in the Portuguese football Federation,” Carlos Queiroz said, when leaving his post as the Portugal U-20 team, which contained the likes of Luís Figo, Rui Costa, Fernando Couto, João Vieira Pinto and Jorge Costa. His parting was an acrimonious one, seemingly shutting the door on his [...]

Queiroz Coy On Portugal Link
With Cristiano Ronaldo delaying the announcement of where he intends to spend his future, it appears as though this is a characteristic of the Portuguese.
Carlos Queiroz, who I back to take on the manager’s job after Sir Alex Ferguson retires, has been named favourite to take over from Scolari as Portugal boss.
He has today responded [...]
Why Queiroz Hasn’t Lost The Plot With Real Rant
The battle between Real Madrid over Cristiano Ronaldo has probably barely even begun. Every summer the same rumours arise, linking our young Portuguese winger to the club.
After a threat of being reported to FIFA, Real Madrid have taken a step back, claiming they are not trouble makers, and will leave Ronaldo alone.
Real Madrid president, Ramon [...]

Why Queiroz Has To Be Our Next Manager
With United favourites to win the European Cup on Wednesday, there has been much debate surrounding whether Sir Alex Ferguson will finally retire. After going back on his decision to do so in 2002, the question of when he will leave us has been brought up time and again. Between 2004 and 2006, many hacks [...]

Fergie Clears Up Issue of Coton and Van der Sar
Former bitter, Tony Coton, has done a cracking job as Manchester United goalkeeper coach over the years, but was forced in to retirement due the medical grounds last month. The lead to speculation that Edwin Van der Sar, who isn’t getting any younger, was due to take over his role. Kuszczak has been decent enough [...]

Not The Smartest Move - Queiroz Dig At Sporting President
Miguel Veloso has been linked with United over recent weeks as he has emerged as Sporting’s latest young talent. After previously signing Nani and Ronaldo from the Portugese club, it comes as no surprise that the papers claim we are after signing him.
Veloso’s agent, Paulo Barbosa, spoke out about the situation a fortnight ago, saying [...]
