With the new sponsor, Chevrolet, on board, Manchester United launched another new kit. Back to the traditional RED shirt, white shorts and black socks, there is no tablecloth styling this time around.

Quote:The shirt welcomes the return of the white collar, which for the first time is a ribbed crew neck design. The collar also has a subtle chevron finish, replicating the pattern used on the chest of United shirts from the early 20th century and in more recent times.

A hidden button in the collar is unique to the shirt – red with a black trim and engraved with the club name – while there is a small label inside the back of the neck with the message "Youth, Courage, Greatness" to represent the club's values.

On the back of the shirt, below the neck, is a black devil from the club crest. Across the back is an engineered mesh in a series of chevrons to again emphasise the importance of the shape to United.

First part of this post is to remind all our members of the tour dates, once the inconvenience of the World Cup is out of the way

United will spend pre-season in Denver, Washington D.C., Michigan and possibly Miami when they play in the International Champions Cup in the US in July and August.

The tournament features Real Madrid, Liverpool, AC Milan, AS Roma, Inter, Olympiacos and Manchester City, although the Manchester rivals are in different groups and could face each other in the final.

United's tour kicks off against Roma in Denver before they head to Washington D.C. to face Inter and finish their group games against Real Madrid in Michigan. If they reach the final they will play the Group B winner in Miami on August 4.

This is awesome, considering the pilot cannot even see the 'stool' he has to land the front of his plane on! His nose landing gear has broken and he needs to land his plane on a moving aircraft carrier.

so not football related, but I came across it while on the BBC website.

...But not as their first choice!!

Quote:Former Manchester United boss David Moyes has held talks with Galatasaray but is not the first choice to become the club's new head coach.

The Turkish side parted company with former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini at the end of last season.
“We are not in a rush, we are waiting for the end of the World Cup. The first two targets are Low or Klinsmann” said a Galatasaray spokesman

Moyes, 51, who was sacked by United in April, met Galatasaray president Unal Aysal in Istanbul to "exchange ideas".
