Dimitar Berbatov is enjoying his first pre-season as a Manchester United player and described the reaction towards the squad as being like that towards The Beatles. Sir Alex Ferguson says it’s not just the new players who are taken aback by the reaction but the more experienced and even himself.
“But its not just them,” Fergie admitted. “It’s the older players too… and me. I’m still amazed sometimes when we arrive at hotels and there are thousands of fans hanging about. Then they’re in the corridors and in the lifts. You have to admire that love of the club. We experienced it here in Seoul two years ago and it’s just as good this time. In fact, it’s typical of the whole Far East – we have a terrific fan base and there’s a great fanaticism here.”
Come to India..

GHTT – I like the vid. I love it towards the end of the season or on pre season when SAF get’s all philosophical and reflective.
BTW I just thought of a chant if/when the massive citeh! get relegated or start having a poor run of results.
To the tune of walking in a winter wonderland
Abu Dhabi are you watchin’
You better keep your money comin’
Citeh are going down
They don’t own their ground.
Going Down with a billion in the bank
Haha, berba is still jizzing in his pants over being a United player.
Im from Pakistan and I had to stand in a long queue outside the multiplex to get tickets for the Rome final. Mad fan base all around Asia! Go United
The team should definitely come to India. The club has made some forays at the academic level and now even the commercial element – 5 (at least) ManUtd Cafes opening by the end of this year in the metropolises. I seriously hope SAF and the players stop by in the coming years. There will be legions of hardcore nutters everywhere.
Yo come to India:).. United are well loved here!!
When are you folks coming to India
Im of indian (Punjabi) descent and when I go back there my cousin who plays proffesionaly has got UTD posters all over his bedroom walls , hes also had a statue of the club crest made and it sits at the entrance of his house.Theres only 2 teams that people talk about and thats UTD and to a much much lesser extent (hate to say it) loserpool .I remember being out there once and a proramme from MUTV being broadcast on one of there sports channels.No one really cares about the rentboys ,or the gooners its like who the fuk r they…lol
