Michael Owen scored his first Manchester United goal on his début yesterday and is eager to continue proving he can handle the pressure of being one of our players.
He has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to him about the responsibility that comes with wearing our famous number seven shirt, but Owen insisted without hesitation he was up to the job.
“This is a big chance to show that I can do it again, to show that I can handle the pressure and the expectation,” said Owen. “I’ve handled the pressure and scrutiny before and all the managers I’ve played under will all say I can handle it. That shirt has pressures of its own and some great players have worn it in the past, but I will do it justice. The manager asked me to wear the shirt. He said a player needs broad shoulders for it and he asked me if I felt I could handle it. I said ‘yes’ without hesitation. I know it represents so much. Two big players have left Manchester United in Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. There were a lot of goals in Ronaldo and I’m here to hopefully fill that gap.”

I honestly hopes he does well.
Something I never thought I’d say!
i think and prefer to be Rooney’s time,but i won’t mind him scoring
This is Rooney’s season no doub. He’s our main player but everybody will need to chip in and Owen will hopefully get his fair share of net action. If he’ll be top scorer by the end of the season I won’t cry blood, just as long as it’s in our shirt. But I think he has the strenght to carry the shirt, he knows he’s got the quality and that’s the important thing.
i read this 6 years ago thou it was ronaldo ho said it
i think sir alex uses it 7 shirt as a factor in pumpin up new players he knows has it in them like eric beckham ronaldo and owen
if owen didnt get it id say nani would
Lovely finish by Owen … I hope he can improve his fitness and avoid injury.
He could be another Ole for Utd .. that would be a perfect thing for everyone ..
it doesn’t really matter who scores, as long as someone is knockin em in, although i’m startin to become slightly excited about the things he could do this season, best o luck to the little chap, besides its really really winding up the dippers and to a lesser extent “the greatest fans around” – the geordies
Owen plays for United. i think it’s great. He’s happy and I’m happy.
If he scores against the dippers and declines to go wild in front of the kop, i’ve got no problem with that at all. the past is the past and it’s what people do now that counts. just so long as he keeps smiling at United.
would you turn down a night with denise van outen just cos she use to go out with the idiotic jamiroquai bloke? possibly you would, but i bloody wouldn’t!
owen#7 will be a hit. rooney wil have season of jis lofe for united.
berba will prove his worth and shut the mouth of those people who think he is a waste. nani will at last play regularly in our team and also score goals.
tosic will be the player with surprise he is the next ronaldo(eventhough i dont like comparisons) anderson will start scoring goals .macheda will be the next big thing along with welbeck. both of them to feature in the next world cup for their country. and also rafael and fabio .
next season we will say thanx ronaldo u left we found the original rooney.
sry rooney will have season of his life . i am getting too exited of wat will happen next season that my spelling is going wrong
Good lad. Great instinct for the goal yesterday. Here’s to loads more!
If he only scores 2 goals this season (the winner at OT against the dippers and the win at scumfield at the kop end against the dippers)… then this transfer will be up there with the best.
I do actually think he will bag lots and lots of goals for us… if he stays fit… which i think he will coz our medical team is second to none, then he is 29 and in his prime, and will link well with our players…
I can definately see Wazza, Owen, and Berba getting 70 goals between them this season… and i think that is a realistic target.
hey sry guys who are dippers.
Rooney will be better than Ronaldo and hopefully Owen will do great aswell all we need now is for Berbatov to pull his finger out.
Rooney > Ronaldo
Owen > Tevez
Bring in the Title!!

micheal owen is 10 months older than cantona whn cantona signed for united
ash
the dippers are liverpool
dippers is short for bin dippers because
everybodys gotta eat
but most dont wanna work for dinner money
I honestly don’t believe that many other players from our current team would not feel pressure by having that number. I hope Owen does it justice.
ghtt thnx mate.
yeah i hope owen scores against liverfools.
The best thing about Michael Owen is he wants to be with us. He wears a smile on his face. I think Wazza-Owen-Berba are gonna rock !!
in september (hopefully), we’ll get 2 Owen. Michael and Hargreaves
i saw owen yesterday, i got to say tht his goal instinct is still there..if he stays fit, im sure he’ll score at least 15 goals ths season..
Fat the red: Yeah… he’s missed that’s for sure! If he comes back in full then we’ll have a kick-ass midfield! Fletch is coming on great and he’s performance last season was awesome but Hargo’s got more speed and a great foot to take over from Ronaldo when needed.
I hope Owen does well for a number of reasons:
1) He’s a united player now, so obviously he does well…United do well.
2) He will take pressure of Berbatov and Rooney. Out of all our strikers Owens probably has the best finishing and is known as an out and out goalscorer.
3) The dippers will absolutely hate it when he wins a title with us and they finish 2nd, or 3rd as the case will probably be this season.
4) It’s going to make Rafa look like a twat for not making a move for him when they had the chance.
5) Owens scores the winner at Enfield to the sound of 40,000 dippers weeping.
VDS
RAFAEL VIDIC RIO EVRA
HARGO(WEN FIT)
CARRICK ANDO
VALENCIA
ROONEY BERBA/OWEN
i hope to see foster more. nani should also play. fletcher and park can come and replace ando and valencia. macheda welbeck and tosic are the guys to watch mainly tosic.
“which i think he will coz our medical team is second to none”
Saha, Ole, Rio.. not so sure..
On number 7. Put defender in that shirt and see how much pressure it will bring. Owen doesn’t play on the wing and it is not that important.
–> Mikael
right, mate
but those two have a pair of glass foot and they surely kicks ass when fully fit
i still had my concern for Carrick ups and downs performance though.. is it just me or anybody ever feel like we supposed to strengthen our centre midfield in one additional transfer?
@corea
still cant understand whether u like owen or not.
Lads,
As i have said in another topic i think Fergie has been a little Cleaver in this one! When Ronaldo joined the CLub Fergie Gave him the No 7 Shirt and challanged him to Fulil it! He DId.
By giving the No 7 jursey to Owen it takes the Pressure off Valencia who is not a direct replacement but a very good winger.. Good Choice… Owen is Mature enough not to Let teh No 7 jursey bother him… It also will give him more confidence and motivation knowing that Fergie thinks so much of him to honour him with that Shirt!………. If a player knows he has total trust from a manager he plays better,,, isnt trying to impress and plays his more natural game!
Owen is a goal machine!!!….. Im looking forward to seeing him in action!!
@trevor
totally agree with u man. fergi can never be wrong.
Anybody else worried about Berba? For Rooney’s goal, Berba should have took his chance, it shouldn’t have landed at Rooney’s feet. Before the argument is said that this was a pre-season game, Berba did this so much last season. For Spurs, he banged them in from every angle, yet last season we saw a less selfish Berba who seemed so reluctant to shoot (even from the pen spot). Having seen some, (to be honest and fair, not all of yesterday’s game), the clinical Berbatov that cost us 30 million now looks like a supremely gifted creative player and nothing more. To state 70 goals between the 3 front men sounds fine, but not if Berba doesn’t start scoring 20 a season. We will have a big season ahead of us, and goals will count this season alot more than the last, especially in the CL.
ever watch football masters
them guys cant run a tap with out loosin breath never mind run a pitch but football skill is always in there feet and the right thing to do iss in there football minds
micheal owen IS 100% FIT. So united have the same striker that played for liverpool just a bit older and alot wiser and with a goal to be a 7 for united to be in the history books
@fat the red – Yer, mate I wanted someone like D’agostini to join. A deep lying passer similar to Carrick, creative with work rate. Gaetano D’Agostino is also being linked with Juve, Milan, and Real are looking at him if the FSW keeps hold of Alonso (not likely). I have faith in Fletch, Carrick, and Park but against Barca when it wasn’t working we needed a super-sub to change the game in our favour. Nani being a winger to start with won’t do it, same for the other wingers. If Hargo is truly back to fitness and only United know the truth, then I guess we don’t need a new mid. I’d still go for him though ahead of Gibson, but the counter-argument is the 6-5 rule and Gibson will be one of the 6 when needed. This 6-5 rule and the tax rate has affected all the PL signings. It’s English or no-one at the moment for clubs.
javac..stop this nonsense already about berbatov…
last season we can see how he perform…we must realise now that he is not a clynical finisher but how many assist did he provide in the league last season…even fabregas cannot match the assist ratio…
sir alex used him behind top striker to hold and distributed the ball with his genius creative control….
did u saw the second goal against malaysia yesterday…the through pass that set rooney fly on the wing…marvellous..
i dont care if hes scored only 5 goal this season…as long as he contribute to team and we still the champion at the end of season…
It was only yesterday when I saw Owen in action for us did I realise how much I used to hate the scouse spice boys. Owen has always been a goalscorer but somehow I had convinced myself that actually he was a c-p player: A one dimensional forward who having lost some of his pace had nothing to offer.
It was only when I saw how well he held up the ball, kept posession, defended from the front and had the cleverness to try and square it to Gibson instead of volley home that I recognised that actually this fella was a half-decent footballer. I actually really want him to succeed and more than that…I believe, genuinely, that he will.
My oh my am I starting to like Michael Owen…??
still some guys are hating berba. the reason he assists he doesnt score wat a reason javac.
@Fat the red: Yeah I wouldn’t mind another battling midfielder but as stated above it’s hard to find one that fits the bill. If Hargo doesn’t come back full I think we’ll have a new player in january but if he’s back then I wouldn’t loose any sleep.
I’m a bit unsure over Gibson. He might be a rough dimond or a shiny rock… he sometimes scores these great goals (against Hull for ex.) but another day he’s off with his passing och shoots the ball into the parking lot, he’s to inconsistent but he might make the step up. It’s always nice to see players come through the ranks so we’ll see. He seems to be higher rated then Cambell since he’s still here so in SAF we trust ey?
First of many.
He will prove Fergie is smarter than all of us.
I cannot wait to start the season.
@Fooart – Don’t get me wrong, I love Berbatov, as I said, he’s a”supremely gifted creative player” and I know he is the best in the league for assists (taking into account that we never had a true poacher last year). This year he will top the assist table. No doubt about that. I just want the lad to score more goals like he used to.
@javac
dont worry javac he wil score goals. as i said u are going to see the original berba, the berba we bought for 30million.
maybe if rooney or macheda or owen can play like robbie keane…
he can score more…he was not a great goalscorer at bulgaria either..
sir alex have said that he is a different player that he want in the team when we bought him…sir alex saw him more than a creative player than a goal poacher for manchester united…and it prove right last season with another PL championship…only that lazy penalty is the minus from hes game last season…
and for 30 million pound worth purchased…
creative like last season,great controll,wonderful through pass and plus one or two flick against west ham like last season hey 30 million justified..
Hmm… I’d love to see Owen be a major success throughout the season and justify these confident claims, but it’s more likely that he’s going to get a long term injury before Christmas.
If Owen is given the supply and frequency of quality balls to his feet that Berba and Rooney excel at then he could very realistically score 40+ in a season.
If Ronaldo does not get the same service and purposeful attacking nature that he enjoyed at United then he will be lucky to get 15 goals.
It will be clear to all that United made Ronaldo.
Ronaldo did not make United.
Sir Alex Ferguson makes United. He and he alone is the all poweful one at the club.
On a separate note has anyone read this:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/2009/07/19/tevez-s-fergie-taunt-115875-21530841/
Tevez is like a broken record! The same whiney shit over and over again… No “big games” – apart from the tiny Mersyside Derby. No Champs League – apart from the CL final. Those games not “big games”, Carlos? City offer bigger ones?!
owen is the new solskjaer!
Owen will be great this season no doubt about it. I just can’t get used to seeing our badge on his chest. Oh and tevez you are at shitty now, get over it you little whinging punk.
prefer rooney or/and berbatov to do well this season, rather than owen.
I have to say the interesting dynamics we have available in attack this coming season up front will be the most eclectic we’ve had in years.
We have a 30 million dollar guy we bought to put goals away but has turned out to be a phenom with assists and drawing defences open for other finishers. We have another proven goalscorer hungry to prove to critics that his time isn’t over and his best is yet to come. We’ve got a machine who is an all round wizard who can play on the wings, upfront or dominate in the “hole”. We have got a young Italian whizkid who does not seem to remember how young he really is the way he puts opportunities away. Another youngster with a cannon for a leg. And most recently the demon lovechild of what must be some Heskey/Drogba/Adebayor hybrid from Norway.
Seriously, injuries aside who else could we need and not seem like we’re doubling up? Arshavin?
Fooart – “he was not a great goalscorer at bulgaria either..”
Where do you get your stats from mate? 41 goals in 68 games!!
@Ash-I guess you make the most optimistic United fan. Lol!! Reasons why Owen has changed for the better : http://11reds.com/opinion/has-michael-owen-changed-for-the-better/597/
@11REDS
I BELIEVE IN UNITED AND THATS Y I AM OPTIMISTIC.
if he scores the winner at Anfield ill forgive him!
He will definitely bag goals! With Hargo set to come back, we are back on the road!!! Anyone read this? Not sure what to make of it considering our transfers this season, valencia apart…. one never knows…
http://www.guillembalague.com/rumores_desp.php?titulo=United%20Prepared%20to%20Swoop%20for%20Frustrated%20Villa&id=216
King Eric..sorry for the wrong stats…i mean recently…
maybe he get used to the way he play at manchester utd…haha…
well i dont care if he is not prolific anymore…just a great honour to saw a genius with a ball week in and week out …the short sleeve jersey not look good on him though…
Balague is usually full of crap, and his article here is so vague, I don’t see that happening
Our away kits are always better than the home ones these days, the black one in the season before last was the best in a while it was class but this one will have to do
Owen can handle the number 7 but i still dont see why he deserves it, he just needs to score goals and then everyone will be happy.
Will watch you again tomorrow
Please score hatrick and throw your shirt at me…hahahahhaah
fooart I am not being funny but berbatovs lazy penalty was the only downside to the 30 million united payed for him is very short sited. There are loads of things wrong with this player.
1 his goals for record is awful
2 he has no mobility when united hit teams on the counter.
3 Dreadful in the big games and most games in general the game seems to pass him by
4 he does not fit into the united way of playing same with veron.
Berbatov slows uniteds game down. It is no coincidence that since berbatov arrived united have been poor in attack. People moaned when van nistlerooy was slowing united down berbatov do the same thing. United were a much more devastating attacking threat when the combination of ronaldo rooney tevez.
Tony Starks
villa is defiantly someone united need. pace power a goal threat and unlike berbatov he will smash the goals in. if united did a swap deal involving villa and berbatov united will hit gold.
Fucking hell more negativity from man utd champions 2008! What the fuck is wrong with you man? As I said last night we have just enjoyed a period of great success and yet you still see it fit to tear the team apart. Unbelievable.
Where are you suggesting Villa fits in? He has already said he was gutted at not going to Barca (and probably the fascists) but yet you still want him at United. Not the right attitude for me. Did you see Berba yesterday? played well first half, the man is just class. Suppose you would like Eto’o and Benzema aswell?
I see the dippers probably should have considered buying Owen. 2 pre season friendlys and a 0-0 draw with some obscure Austrian or Swiss team now a one nil defeat.
King Eric yet he did not score a goal. I am glad we did not get benzama but if villa is willing to come berbatov should be moved on. Because united can do better than berbatov in attack. Like I said you take Rooney along with the backline and goalie out of this united team, what we are left with is above average players or players who are coming to the end of their playing time.
Good Luck Owen……God that feels weird saying that.
if you cannot appreciate (understand) berbatov’s contribution to our attack, you do not comprehend football. more importantly, you don’t understand how sir alex wants berbatov to play.
I love Berbatov (led team in assists last term and can still score at a high rate), and doubt we are going to land Villa, but does anybody believe that Villa, Rooney, Owen, And Berbatov can co-exist is some sort of squad rotation system?
Even if that means we send out Welbeck or Macheda on loan (which I am not totally against, experience could do them well)
what are your thoughts??
Wayne Rooney’s hair you get rid of berbatov and bring in either real world class forwards like villa or aguero
manutdchampions2008, we are not getting rid of berbatov, we are not getting aguero for sure, and i doubt the villa story holds any water. have you heard aguero’s wage demands? are you out of your mind? the last person we need is an overpriced, short argentinian striker (sound familiar?) whose father-in-law is maradona. furthermore, why would you want players at our club who do not want to be here (villa)? i love people who only take into account a striker’s skill and not their attitude. for huge sums of money that are required for such signings, as sir alex has said, you cannot have a ‘knee-jerk’ reaction and splash out cash just because madrid is. sir alex isn’t held hostage over transfers- he thought berbatov was worth 31 million. i trust his judgment far more than yours… especially when you are spitting out such drivel like paying 50 million for aguero.
Adebayor said in an interview today that he loved Arsenal and the fans and it was hard to leave. Sounds familiar? I guess those “loving” players like Adebayor and Tevez love money first and foremost.
sanj yea same fergie that signed carrol Howard veron djemba kleberson nani anderson forlan hargreaves yea hargreaves anderson and nani are up there with the flops. Don’t forget it was the same fergie that was willing to wait a year to sign Rooney it took Newcastle bid to get him going to sign Rooney. How many goalkeepers did fergie go through before getting a proper one. If you look at Fergusons transfer record between aug 2001 to now it is not great. Like I said aguero will cost 25 million less if you give atletico I say nani and berbatov to get aguero. I think the attitude of berbatov has been shocking. despite how good fergie has been I do not think his signings 60% of them have been good.

@ manutdchampions 2008
Fuck off you dipper cunt.
And if it is true, if you are a Manchester United supporter, stop with the fucking negativity you spanner.
Berbatov is a genius, class, brilliant. Any good adjective sums up Berbatov. He is the perfect player to play alongside Wazza. Rooney is our best player, has been since he signed. Berba compliments Rooney’s style. They can link up, switch positions, see players runs that no one else could see (Owen making these runs).
Owen will score goals. Simple as. Enough said.
Hargreaves is a fantastic player. Can play 3 different positions as good as anyone else can. Everytime he played he has been superb. Just because he has been extremely unfortunate with both his knees, (I know what he’s going through), that isn’t his fault and certainly don’t make him a flop.
Nani and Ando are 21. Anderson is quality. Shits on Fabregas. He’s going to score and when he does, hopefully he will be played in Attacking Midfield, he could develop into one of the Worlds best. Everything is in place for him to become the superstar he can be.
Nani will actually get a regular place in the team like 07/08 where I seem to remember he was great. He has all the speed, skill and a thunderbolt shot. His decision making is dreadful but it will get better especially since he is playing and learning with players like Giggsy and Rooney.
Ronny’s rolling around and waving his arms around won’t be missed that’s for sure. Now our free kicks will actually get past the wall instead of someone standing like Liam Gallagher on a microphone and then blasting it into the wall, or wide, or over.
You’re basically having a dig at Valencia when he hasn’t kicked a United ball yet. For the past 2 seasons he’s been superb against United and other top teams. He doesnt dive around, he actually works for the TEAM, he actually wants to be here (cut his holiday short to sign), he delivers a mean cross which will give Wazza, Berba and Owen more goals, he has a wicked shot on him, blistering pace, he’s 23.
Villa is 28 and I can’t see how he’s worth anymore than £20 million. He’s more of a faggot than Torres is and just like Torres, is way overrated. Aguero is an Argie. No more Argies especially at his price and the Maradona factor. He’s not needed anyway.
You say Liverpool has a better midfield. They don’t and it will be a lot worse than ours when they sell Alonso and Mascherano.
I never get tired of being right.
ManU 2008 – I respect your opinion as a Red about Berba, but he was bought by the manager knowing full well what his qualities were and how he would fit into the way our team was to play..
In that respect the least that we should do is trust the manager – his record of success demands that. You have to give the guy more than the 9 months he’s had before judging him..
Although I would be more than happy to get Villa I know what a class player he is, I trust that the Wizard knows better than me what is good for the team
manutdchampions2008, you are a right twat. If you are a United supporter, then bloody well support your team!! Berbatov is a United player and as such deserves support, end of.
Fergie is United’s manager and deserves every United supporter’s undying respect and full backing. I was disappointed when Fergie kicked out Ruud (who I still think is class and would rather have had than Owen) but I have no doubts that he knows football better than me and was right to do so. The man dragged us back to the top and if you can’t trust him, then you are the exact definition of a gloryhunter. I might not be Owen’s biggest fan but I’ll support him and I back Fergie’s judgement in the transfer market over anyone else. Why? Because I support my club, no matter what.
It’s fine to disagree and want Aguero but if you think being a fan gives you the right to slag off any of your own players or manager who doesn’t do what you think should be done, then eff off. Want to see what happens when so-called fans do that? Take a good long look at Newcastle.
As for your dig at Fergie’s transfer record, I only need two names to rebut that: Cantona and Solskjaer.
MUFC the Religion
Yea I am a united fan and I can see the flaws that you cannot see. Just because I do not rate certain players that make me a Liverpool fan which is nonsense, I bet before tevez moved you loved him along with heinze. To say no more argies if messi came to united you would say get rid of him, aguero when he moves you will be saying big mistake that was not signing him who is miles better than berbatov and has age on his side.
So let’s get this right berbatov is a genius who in your eyes will score goal after goal where is this evidence I do not see it, he is slow and is made for the Italian or Spanish league not united. What has villa done to offend you he is a world class forward that would destroy the net unlike berbatov? He would improve the goals united would get; he is the perfect player to compliment Rooney. When you hype berbatov to death and call Torres overrated then you need to relook at your knowledge of the game. If Torres arrived in 2007 instead of tevez Rooney would have had the perfect striker he could play off, and Rooney could play the second striker that he loved so much when saha and van nistlerooy was with him.
Hargreaves is a good player but he is a waste of money when he spends 70% on the injury table united need players who can finish a season not breaking down all the time and he has cost a bomb. Also don’t bash ronaldo who was our only world class midfielder we had and if it was not for him united would not be champions 3 years running, and unlike berbatov ronaldo is a genius.
Nani Anderson now there are the most overhyped young players in the game.
We have Anderson who runs around like a headless chicken but lacks the other qualities, the football awareness great passing ability and the ability to create and score goals. Iniesta and xavi totally found Anderson out, 1 he is out of position 2 is even in his right position he is nothing special.
nani who is a richmans Richardson, his attitude poor decision making is at times abysmal and is a lightweight, his goals for tally his above average and his only highlight is scoring from distance and doing the back flip. There were better options out there like Ashley young who was signed for villa and ribery who would have cost about the same price has nani.
20legend read my post fergies transfer record between aug 2001 to present is quiet poor. his transfer record 86 to 2001 was fantastic.
Between 2001 and the present date we have won a grand total of 9 major trophies.
4 Premierships
2 League Cups
1 FA Cup
1 Champions League
and a bunch of Charity Shields and the World Club Championship.
No club from any of the major European leagues can match that record from 2001 to the present date. In that time, United’s net transfer expenditure has been lower than many of these clubs. In that time United have had to compete with Abramovich’s Chelsea and Perez’s Madrid. Granted United have been able to depend on local stalwarts such as Giggs, Neville and Scholes. But Fergie also signed players like Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic, van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Ronaldo and many others.
If Fergie has been such a fool in the transfer market please explain to me how the holy f*ck has the man managed to have the best trophy-winning run in all of Europe?
I am not here to defend his transfer record in any period of his tenure. The man has proven he has a nose for talent and it isn’t my responsibility to doubt or defend it. It speaks for itself. He deserves the trust United fans place in him. If you can’t trust a manager with Fergie’s record, then I wonder what you will do when a new manager replaces him and the club goes through what will inevitably be a difficult transitional phase. Hopefully most fans will have more sense than you in that regard.
manutdchampions problem is not berba. he wannts to compete with real madrid just pay over the odd to get the players like aguero or villa, wot a muppet, SAF neve gonna pay 56m for aguero or 45m fro villa in million years. the manager runs the club where money is limited and he knows who to buy who to sell who to keep, if u dont trust in most decorated and successfull manager in football history just i would say fuck off and support real madrid. we reds always behind SAF ‘ doesnt matter win or loose’ only thing in our club ireplacable is the manager.
Ive got a really weird feeling that Owen will do well, hes motivation and desire are sky high, and as long as he stays injury free he will be one of the better players in team.
On a side note, here i am writing this in Owen England 10 shirt that ive put on this morning, maybe theres a reason why i kept it for so long… hehe.
@man utdchamps
its shame that u are a united suppoter. u dont praise anyone let alone berba. u hate fergi bcose he doesnt buy players but still we are the champs.
i think u dont even watch futball u say hargo is a flop ha ha . we won the europe in 07-08 season in which hargo was a major part.
i think u should be supporting madrid they buy players and dont win trophies thats wat u like.
@ manutdchampions2008
Thank God we have David Gill handling our transfers and not you!!
manutdchampions2008
real madrid are playing across the road from me today

@manutd 2008 – stop talking out of your ass. Why the fuck do you have to slate our players everytime? Go follow madrid or city cause unfortunately for you here at united we don’t buy superstars we make them. I bet you have only started following united since our 07-08 season and you are a ronaldo fan rather than a united fan. So mate it’s better if you get used to start thinking the united way or else there are other clubs like city and madrid out there for you to follow.
LOL. I love tribalfootball.

Morning people.
Stevie Me’s court case today.
@king eric
hope he gets imprisoned for 1 year.
@manutdchampions2008
Our flawed team has won more trophies than any team from any league for the past few years. Yes we are flawed, but at least the rest are more flawed. Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn’t it? We should have signed Zidane or the original Ronaldo when they were born, that would have been a steal huh? We are content with what we have, and if you are not content with what we have won for the past 20 years, and think that we should do better, I say you go for an interview as United manager when Sir Alex retires.
-My point is, yes, we do not have 11 world player of the year playing in our first team right now, something Real Madrid might be trying to get, but who is your money on performing better in Europe the coming season? My money is definitely still on the top 4 in England, and Barca
i havent seen any sign of ron and his mates thou there are a fair few camera crews already here
i wont be out with flowers for them
GHTT if possible go break Heinze’s leg
..
@Smudger
i forgot all about that prick
i know some people who know some people in tallaght that could give gabby a visit that would end in a lot of smiles on the faces of the united faithful.
@ GHTT
Completely detest that guy. Had no balls to fight for a place with Evra. I am glad he left as Evra has developed into one of the best LBs in the league.

patrice evras fuckin brillent
plays left back and he’s worth millions
fergie will never get rid of him
good ol patrice evra
I actually think Evra is the best left back in the world.
GHTT- hurt Heinze will you please, on behalf of all United fans, hurt him. It wouldn’t be the worst thing if Robben got an earful either.
@ MUFC the Religion
Yes Robben is up there with the guys i hate. Hurting him would please us, although he already looks crippled when he runs.
PS : I still have a soft spot for Ruud hope he does well (Not against us)
hi ghtt
spot on mate.remember laughing at evra wen he struggled to adapt initially.now i am laughing at myself for doubting him.Undoubtedly best and most consistent left back in the world.
A.I.G.
REMEMBER THE CARLING CUP FINAL WHEN EVRA AND VIDIC CAME ON AS UNITEDS 2ND AND 3RD SUBS AND EVERYONE WAS LIKE WHO ARE THESE JOKES AND WHY ISNT RUUD PLAYING
NEVER DOUBT SIR ALEX
You said it man!!
Never doubt SIR ALEX FERGUSON!!
ghtt
little emily has a chant for every player.she is the most knowledgable fan i have come across.brilliant.
why dont u appear too in the videos.the videos are amazing
evra and vida are the best in their position.That was when i learnt
SAF can see wat no one else can see and though sometimes he may get it wrong.more often he does get it right and proves everyone wrong
You lot can go on and on that but your comments show you are all in denial. Ferguson is very lucky that the form of ronaldo has papered over the cracks on what is a poor midfield and attack. nani anderson hargreaves tevez in the end along with berbatov have not worked out.
Let’s look at the midfield
carrick scholes fletcher hargreaves anderson nani giggs park tosic Valencia the french winger
Tell me who will score the goals in midfield. Not one of those players can hit double figures in goals, which would out of that lot would get into any other top side. Liverpool Chelsea Barcelona Madrid have better midfields than united. Barcelona out classed the united midfield. Liverpool overrun the united midfield, and I fear Madrid if they gel if united meet Madrid they may dominate the game like they done to united in 2003. Lol just because I do not think this united side is great you think I supported them back in 2007, oh yea Hargreaves could have been signed on a free transfer in 2005.
