Just thought I'd say hi. Manc red (from Urmston) Not used one of these before but looking for good info on live streams etc. I'm 40 and got an 8 year old lad who is also united mad. Both members and trying to get our City Tickets on Friday. (My wife's family are blues, the better side is red!).

Manchester United defender Phil Jones has admitted Wayne Rooney has helped him settle in to the England senior set-up under Fabio Capello.

The 19-year-old has been called into the full England squad for the first time after impressing for the under-21s and the Red Devils this season.

He revealed he is looking forward to playing for the Three Lions and cannot wait to win his first cap, with games against Bulgaria and Wales coming up.

He told FATV: "He's Wayne Rooney - a good character and a lively character.

"He's been very helpful and understanding and has certainly made me feel welcome at international level and on club duty. He's a fantastic player and you can only learn from him. It's great to have him around.

"Everyone's world-class players here and it's about the collective team spirit. We've got to come together and produce the goods on Friday night. There's no fear, just excitement to get out there.

"It is an opportunity I didn't expect, but it's a great feeling for family and friends.

"There's no fear. We all know why we are here. We are all playing well for our clubs. There is just an excitement and enthusiasm to get out there and start playing."

Jones’ team-mate at United, Tom Cleverley, is also anticipating his first full England match after being called into the squad for the abandoned game against the Netherlands in August.

The midfielder revealed he had an embarrassing first training session with his new international colleagues.

“It was an own goal in a full-sided game," he said. "I was gutted the game got called off anyway but it meant I had to leave on the own goal really.

"At least I scored in my first session! I tried rolling back to Rob Green and it came off my shin and ended up flying in the net. It was a pretty embarrassing moment for me."

Manchester City deadline day signing Owen Hargreaves is relishing a fresh start with his new club.

The injury-plagued midfielder switched to City after making just four appearances in the last three seasons for rivals Manchester United.

Hargreaves is now looking to put the past behind him and get back to playing after signing a one-year deal at the Etihad Stadium.

Regarding his injury problems, the 30-year-old told City TV: "It's difficult for people from the outside looking in. You would think ' there's something gone wrong there, the guy's made out of glass'.

"But anybody who knows me and knows the way I play, I take it very seriously and very professional.

"So obviously I don't think everybody had all the facts and a lot of things (injuries) happened that basically I wish wouldn't of and it's just a huge learning curve for myself and I would have never have anticipated I would ever find myself in that position.

"So I'm just happy that that chapter is behind me and I'm looking forward to just playing football and having fun, having a good time, joining in with the lads and competing again.

He added: "It was my life - I missed Champions League finals, I missed World Cups, I missed so many big games that I would have loved to have been a part of.

"Its difficult when you're in it and you're trying to find a solution to these things, you seem to be not going any further forward and it was incredibly frustrating.

"So I basically spent all summer just training, proving to myself that I can work hard, that I can train and sustain the load that is demanded of a professional football player.

"I hadn't made my mind up this summer, I just wanted to train hard and then see how it felt and I didn't use an agent.

"It just kind of (happened) - I think in life you can't chase things, you've just got to let things happen and that's what it was and, you know, I'm looking forward to the future."

John Terry believes the emergence of a young crop of international players augurs well for England's future but has rejected comparisons to the so-called "golden generation."

Ten years ago this weekend England looked poised to usher in a bold new era under Sven-Goran Eriksson when a youthful side featuring the likes of Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham thrashed Germany 5-1 in Munich.

That result ultimately proved to be yet another false dawn for England however, as what had once appeared to be a potentially world-beating group of players endured serial disappointments in major tournaments.

Just over a year ago, and English football hit rock bottom when Fabio Capello's side were dumped out of the 2010 World Cup by Germany, crashing to a 4-1 defeat after a string of abject displays in the group stage.

Yet, improbably, a more optimistic mood has developed around the England set-up in recent weeks, following the form of Manchester United youngsters Phil Jones (19), Tom Cleverley (22), Chris Smalling (21) and Danny Welbeck (20).

With the likes of Arsenal's Jack Wilshere (19) and Chelsea's Josh McEachran (18) waiting in the wings, there are signs that England's future may not be as bleak as it appeared after the humiliation in Bloemfontein 15 months ago.

Jones, Cleverley and Smalling are all part of the England squad for Friday's Euro 2012 qualifier against Bulgaria, and Welbeck and Wilshere would also have travelled had it not been for injury.

While England manager Capello was coy about whether any of Jones, Cleverley or Smalling would start, England captain Terry is convinced that the Manchester United trio would be ready if selected.

"They've come into the England set-up and felt very comfortable and very assured of themselves and rightly so," Terry said.

"They're huge talents, certainly for the present, and the future of the England team. They've got a lot to give.

"You don't get into the Man Utd side if you're not ready and they've shown that they are. I don't think age comes into it at all.

"You need to be given opportunities in life and if that comes around, good luck to them. They're certainly ready."

England are currently in pole position to qualify automatically from Group G, which they lead courtesy of a vastly superior goal difference from second placed Montenegro.

If England do reach next year's finals in Poland and Ukraine, Terry believes the side can travel to the tournament with confidence, offering a mix of experience and youth.

"If we do get ourselves to the Euros we can go there with some young players who have got an an awful lot of games under their belts, a little bit more experience and that mixture of the young and the old that we always speak about, and hopefully we can have a good tournament," Terry said.

Terry sensibly steered clear of comparisons to England's mythical "golden generation" however.

"I don't want to get into that. We've been there and done that before," he said. "What we are looking at is a very good young squad of players coming through. It's great to see for English football all round."
