Manchester United were more or less written off when we sold Cristiano Ronaldo, given the great contribution he made to our team over the past few years. Similar things were said after Ruud van Nistelrooy was sold, when David Beckham joined Real Madrid, when Eric Cantona hung up his boots etc. It seems as though the media and rival fans just don’t learn.

Ahead of our 3-1 victory over Spurs, where we played with ten men for the last half an hour, this current bunch of players were described as ‘the worst United team in years’ by one journalist, something our manager finds highly amusing.


“Some guy at the weekend said this was the worst United team in years,” said Ferguson. “That was a beauty. Maybe it is. Maybe we’ll only win the league.”

There is a report on the PFA Website that reads as follows:

"It has been reported that Manchester United are keen on highly-rated Lazio shot stopper Fernando Muslera.

The Lazio goalkeeper is seen as one of a number of candidates to replace Van der Sar as the United manager is still keen to strength his squad.

The reports coming from Old Trafford are that, Alex Ferguson is looking at the 23-year-old Uruguayan with a view to signing him. The news was reported in the Sportal.it at the weekend, that the Lazio keeper is attracting plenty of interest from the top clubs in Europe.

Lazio offered the talented star a new deal in the summer in the attempt to prevent the interest of the big money spending Premier League clubs.

Although Manchester United have not confirmed their interest in Muslera, don't be surprised if the Old Trafford fortress look to improve their chances of retaining the Premier League crown with this new addition to the squad. "

We're linked to yet another one!!

Diego Forlan’s last game for Manchester United was on the opening day of the 2004-2005 season, on a day where Miller and Djemba-Djemba started in midfield, with Roy Keane filling in at centre back during an injury crisis.

A fortnight after leaving United Forlan scored for Villarreal on his début. Given that it took him 27 matches to score his first for us, you’d imagine that was the reason behind his departure, but Forlan has today revealed the real reason for his leaving.


“Ferguson wanted me to play with high studs, the interchangeable ones that suit wet pitches, but I feel more comfortable in low ones,” said Forlan. “I agreed to change, but I didn’t and, against Chelsea, I slipped in front of goal and wasted a chance. Afterwards, I rushed to the dressing room to change boots, but Ferguson caught me. He grabbed the boots and threw them. That was my last game for United.”

Forlan reckons his relationship with the manager has improved since then and that he also gives the club transfer tips.

“When we were in London Ferguson showed up at our hotel,” he continued. “I still have a good relationship with Sir Alex and his brother Martin. We have conversations and sometimes he asks me about South American players I might know of.”

So does his mean the gaffer has not given up on Sergio Aguero?
