How about that? England fans are very unlikely to enjoy a pint in the local with their mates watching England this weekend! Setanta UK had the broadcast rights to this match and obviously, went belly up. No other TV company wanted to match the asking price from the Ukrainian broadcasters, so an Internet company jumped in and at the moment, have sole UK rights to show the match.

Whoever heard of watching football on your pc, lol?

Busy day in the world that is Manchester United. SSN also reports that Ron-Robert Zieler, a favourite for the United Player Game (https://manutdpeople.com/Thread-United-Player-Game) has requested a loan move in the January transfer window. I guess he sees limited opportunities at OT at the moment, with Ben Amos seeming to have the gloves for the reserves.

He was offered a new contract in the summer, but has not made his 1st team bow yet, having already been loaned out to Northampton.

The full story on SSN:
Ron-Robert Zieler has told Sir Alex Ferguson that he wants to be loaned out in the January transfer window in a bid to gain first-team football.

The 20-year-old is highly thought of at Manchester United but currently finds Edwin van der Sar, Ben Foster and Tomasz Kuszczak blocking his path to the senior squad.

Zieler signed for United from Cologne in summer 2008 and is currently representing Germany at the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt.

The youngster enjoyed a loan spell with Northampton last season while the Cobblers were in League One but made just two appearances.

Zieler, who is yet to make his United debut, is keen to make up for the experience and reveals that Ferguson understands his frustrations at having to play reserve team football.

"I became absolutely delighted to be offered new terms this year as this was an indication the coaching staff is believing in the chance that I could make it at the club," he told Kicker.

Challenge

"I had the desire to challenge for a first-team spot as soon as possible, but I am still lacking something to do so as Edwin van der Sar is a great shot-stopper and Ben Foster and Tomasz Kuszczak are experienced back-ups.

"I want to achieve the next step in my career and I have spoken to the manager about it.

"He really understands my point. I have always acted loyal to the club and I go on doing so.

"Anyway if possible I would like the chance to have a change of clubs this winter."

Ritchie De Laet has been offered a new contract by United. This has been reported on SSN today, which is good news, as personally, I think he is a tremendous prospect for the future. I saw him play right back and he looked like he'd been there for ever. He can play anywhere across the back, so a bonus!

There may be good news on the horizon for Danny Welbeck, too:

Full story from Sky Sports News:

Manchester United have handed a new contract to Belgian starlet Ritchie de Laet. The 20-year-old defender only joined United in January, when The Red Devils raided Stoke City to capture him.

He has impressed Sir Alex Ferguson since the move and is now on the verge of the first-team. And his progress has been rewarded with a new three-year deal.

"Alex Ferguson told me I'm very close to the first team," he told The Sun.

"There has been talk of me going out on loan but Sir Alex said I can't leave as he may need me. The new contract is a surprise and fantastic news."

It is also reported that Danny Welbeck is also close to agreeing a new three-year contract at Old Trafford.
