Manchester United

Manchester United star Ryan Tunnicliffe has been charged with drink-driving after a Range Rover was in collision with a van.

Manchester United captain buys flat for father of friend who passed away.

Bad news about footballers travels fast and good news takes just a little longer to make it to the top of the agenda. We were sent a link to a Serbian newspaper by Montenegran football fan Uros Popovic and it details a nice story about Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic and the way he continues to keep an eye out for the father of an old team mate.

"He wants to play and if he cannot do so by January then we'll try to find an alternative solution. I will talk to Sir Alex Ferguson over the next few days.

The 21-year-old has gone from being undisputed first choice at Old Trafford to sharing the position with Anders Lindegaard and is apparently unhappy about the situation.

He has now employed the services of super agent Jorge Mendes with a view to securing a move to La Liga, reports El Confidencial.

Manchester United ace Nani admits he is unsure of his future prospects, insisting his fate is out of his hands : "Only God knows what awaits me."

Despite the potency of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and the rest of Sir Alex Ferguson's side, the Old Trafford boss faces a tactical dilemma ahead of the Stamford Bridge fixture

[...]

Sir Alex may reason he needs two bodies in that area to bolster his back four and disrupt Chelsea’s flow, in which case he will presumably go with a 4-2-3-1 of his own (he could even try a 4-3-3 and play Fletcher along with Carrick and Paul Scholes, although that seems unlikely).

Or he could reason the best way to stop them is by controlling possession, to get as many players in the centre as possible, in which case the diamond would be the preferred option.

That’s one way of thinking about the game. The other way is to look at the vulnerability Chelsea have shown in wide areas. The fluent nature of the three in their 4-2-3-1 makes it very difficult for them to pick up opposing full-backs and that, at times, has left Chelsea’s full-backs exposed.

Sir Alex Ferguson is understood to now favour Pep Guardiola as his eventual successor at Manchester United.

We gave the ball away for the third goal, he said. We were in complete control of the match at that point, playing really good football and all we needed to do was see the game out and keep possession.

Nani decided to try and beat a player, lost the ball and we ended up conceding a penalty kick.

Eine Skulptur für Sir Alex

Seit 26 Jahren ist Sir Alex Ferguson bei Manchester United im Amt. Nun ehrt der englische Rekordmeister seine Trainerikone mit einer Skulptur am Old Trafford. Am 23. November soll das Kunstwerk nahe am Eingang zu der Tribüne enthüllt werden, die bereits den Namen des 70-jährigen Schotten trägt.

In the three months to the end of September, the club's debt fell to £359.7m, a drop of 17% from the £433.2m in the same period last year, though the £24.5m interest on the sum is the same as Sir Alex Ferguson paid for Robin van Persie during the summer.
