coogar: rooney's hair did not affect squat!
although young didn't mean to score from there but you cannot deny the quality of the cross he put in.

as usual, valencia disappeared again - he's contributed nothing significant. yet, you people delude yourselves that valencia is the better talent.

a fit young is 50 times better than tony valencia.

So Valencia did not play yesterday? Why was he left on the pitch for about 75% of the game? You and I have never really seriously argued about Valencia and Young. But I must say that your Young has been least influencial for Man United since our wingers joined the cvlub-among Valencia, Nani and Young.

*** You have been looking for a way go start this Ashley Young argument. I guess you didn't sleep. Body dey pepper you since last night.

*** Ok, lets know now. Who is the better player between Young and Nani?

Dadehmola, I beg no respond to this oo. This na trap.

teeo: Coogar, when would your Rooney hatred stop.

The build up to that Young's goal was classic. Made me have this feeling that we're back.
Let's not be to happy about Young though, Sanogo of Arsenal scored 4 goals yesterday but he is still sh.it to me

I tire o.

Rooney is brought into everything. Rooney this, Rooney that. When we discuss matters concerning the club and performance, there must be a way to drag Rooney to some comparison or negative things that may have happened. Now, we are not being told Rooney is leading us to probably United best preseason ever. When it's negative, it has to be that Rooney dragged everyone down.

coogar: and you are jealous cos he's scored more than the fat scouser? if we remove penalties - how many goals has rooney scored?

You argument. Let him score more goals in the EPL and UCL.

His second goal yesterday, Rooney actually 'dash' it to Young. Close shot of that goal posted to youtube suggest Rooney had a slight touch that actually affected the tracjectory of the cross.

Naetochukwu: I have witnessed the miracle of the sun

I have too. About three occassions or more when I went on pilgrimage to a Marian apparition site. The first one was the most magnificient and remain ever vivid in my memory for many years now. The rays from the sun were golden such that every where became gold in colour, even the grasses. I witnessed one there again last year. I was looking like the sun easily without hurting my eyes, it was like looking at the holy communion. I stood and looked at the sun for about 30 minutes, the Revered Fathers white vestments sunddenly tunred gold colour.

coogar: it means he has 4 goals in this pre-season so far, right?

Exactly.

Van Gaal on youngster Tyler Blackett. "He can play at this level, but can he play match after match? I can't answer at the moment."

Make we sell?

coogar: the anti-ashley young crew has suddenly grown quiet. oh yes, it's still the friendlies so it doesn't matter what he does.

stats don't lie....numbers don't lie. ashley young, 2nd highest goal scorer in the competition just a goal behind jovetic!

hopefully, young would score against liverpool & become joint or sole top scorer. however, young is shyte according to the sadducees & he should be sold to enyimba.

I am not an anti-Young, but I just want respond to this. Young has two goals in this chmapionship. The other two goals were against L A Galaxy.

Van Gaal: "The game was not a friendly. Real didn't want to lose... we won and deserved to win."

Danny Welbeck left the pitch with a knee injury. Van Gaal: "We have to wait and see what the reaction is tomorrow."

Louis van Gaal: "It's a very good result and it gives confidence to the players."

SailorXY: @afrodoc, Hernandez will always be a better forward than Welbeck.

it is a very simple fact

What makes him better? Welbeck has been benching him since 2012. I have seen that any time a player performs, he is suddenly raised to the status of a legend by some fans. Chicha and Welbeck don't play same way, one is a good team player while the other is a good poacher. Welbeck scored our opener in this preseason and also won a penalty in another match. He also has two assist. Chicha has scored today, you suddenly relegated Welbeck's contributions all these while.

This one no resemble fluke again o. It's looks like we are back to ourselves.

Good.

coogar: it's about man utd!
you think bayern would command this kinda crowd? or man city?

The tickets were all sold many days ago. Our matches are commanding the highest crowd.

Today's attendance: 109,318, beating the previous high of 101,799 for a soccer match in the USA

Liverpool through to final.

Man United needs only to avoid defeat in regulation time to win the group.

"Manchester United are one of my favourite clubs, everyone knows that every time when I speak about Real Madrid I speak about Manchester United, I loved it there," Ronaldo told reporters.

"I was 18 years old when I joined, I won everything there, the people treat me like a god there so I appreciate that and, in the future, who knows.

"I remember when we played there against Manchester United in the Champions League. Their affection killed me, I was so happy.

"I had fantastic moments and I appreciate this club. For me, it’s one of the best clubs in the world and I have passion for this club.

"Some players I am still in contact with because, when I was there, I created a good relationship with everybody - not just the players, but all of the staff.

"It was like my second family there, so I’ll not forget that the people treat me good. I love Manchester United and to go back... With football you never know.

"Of course, I’m happy at Real Madrid - it’s my home, my club - but Manchester United treated me unbelievable so you never know."

Ronaldo also believes United will prosper under Louis van Gaal’s guidance following their worst-ever Premier League campaign last season under fired coach David Moyes, who had replaced Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.

"It will be a better season for sure. My feeling is Van Gaal is a fantastic coach, he showed that all the time for Netherlands, the team played unbelievable at the World Cup, and I hope that Man Utd come back like the people know," he added.

Those days, they used to ruin our weekends. Life is much better now.

Lol.

chrisley024: When we know the cost na

Yes o. It will be interesting to be able to watch on the go. I remember that year they brought one small DSTV phone. I used it to watch many matches even during weekends official performance meetings. I go just lower the volume dey monitor situations with corner eye.

chrisley024: Which problem kwa?
He pairs with Herrera n Cleverly as substitute until Strootman comes.

Unless u still gat hope on Carrick n Fletcher which I don't.

Is Fletcher not more reliable than Cleverley?

That's from Man United official page. Will they do this for EPL matches?

If we signed Vidal, Gaal would have a problem sorting out his midfielders. It would have been easier if we were in the UCL and had to rotate players often. We will have four midfielders on the bench (add Fellaini) it's five.

The rumours for Vidal just wont go away! Here's the latest:

The Daily Star claim that Vidal’s representative Fernando Felicevich has ‘jetted in’ to Manchester to finalise the £47m move, after talks with Juventus over a contract to match the estimated £120,000-a-week deal United are offering fell apart – leaving the Chilean a clear path to head to Old Trafford.

The Daily Express say that Vidal will sign for £47m and will be given the famous number 7 shirt.

El Mercurio in Chile are reporting that the 27-year-old has passed a medical, having already undergone preliminary checks in Chile. The Metro continue in the same vein, reporting that the Red Devils were concerned over Vidal’s previous knee and ankle issues, but are now sufficiently impressed with his fitness levels.

Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport are slightly more reserved in their reports, saying that Vidal’s time at Juventus suddenly looks increasingly uncertain, with Man United looking strongly like landing him. They say that Van Gaal has told United officials to increase their efforts in signing him, resulting in a four-year contract worth around €13m-a-year being offered to the midfielder.

Italian football expert Roberto Gotta told talkSPORT that while Juventus have appeared firm in their stance over Vidal’s future, they are starting to wane, and irrespective of reports surrounding the player, United will still need to make a ‘fantastic offer’ if they are to truly bend the Italians’ will.

Italian football Agent Andrea D'Amico told Skysports Italia that he believes Vidal WILL leave Juventus for Manchester United in this transfer window.

'I was really surprised when Antono Conte left. I was wondering why a coach who strongly wanted me would have left but in the end everyone is the owner of his own destiny. I a not angry with Conte but I am happy that I am with Juventus - a great club with a great history.'

Patrice Evra has revealed that Louis van Gaal wanted him to be Manchester United captain had he stayed at the club.

"Manchester United wanted to keep me and they also wanted to give me the captain's band, Van Gaal was disappointed to see me go away, but I had already made a choice.

"It was really difficult to leave Man United, but I did it. I made my choice and I am really happy with my choice."

Evra also urged his knew club to pursue their reported interest in Portugal winger Nani.

"He is a great player and it was a privilege for me to play with Nani. If Juve are interested in him, I can only say that Nani would be a great purchase."

Both stories are from goal.com. We however know that the more authentic story is the 2nd one. It doesn't however rule out an interest in Chicha from Southampton. Chicha confirmed that there are other clubs which want him (perhaps who have made inquires about him).

Rumours are bound to surround an unsettled player. And such are not peculiar to goal.com. Enquires from agents, private and informal talks, negations, are going on every day. Only a few get to that stage where bids and acceptance/rejection are made. Some negotiations fail at the last minute. Like Man United and Ronaldnho.

The Manchester United striker says he is aware of the Italian club's pursuit of his signature but insists it would be disrespectful to the Red Devils to discuss a potential move

Javier Hernandez has admitted he is aware of interest from Inter but refused to speculate on his future at Manchester United.

Hernandez, who has also been linked with Atletico Madrid, scored 20 goals in all competitions in his first season at Old Trafford but has since struggled to hold down a place in the starting XI, developing a reputation as a 'super-sub'.

The Mexican has never been fond of the label, however, leading to suggestions he could leave United due to the status of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney as the club's first-choice strike pairing.

“I know of Inter’s interest, I'm happy for this reason,” Hernandez told reporters on the Red Devils' pre-season tour of the USA, according to Corriere dello Sport. 

“There are many clubs that want me, but at the moment I am a Manchester United player and it isn't respectful to talk about other teams. I don't know my future, we will see after the USA tournament.”

Former United captain Nemanja Vidic, who joined Inter upon the expiry of his contract in Manchester this summer, has expressed his admiration of Hernandez in recent weeks.

You guys have exhausted your points regarding this argument.

Quit Time.

Nihilist: I doubt that

Where do you put Moyes, Bebe, Kleberson and Silvestre?

Cleverly and Young are not as bad as those ones up there

Wes 'Own Goal' Brown and Failanni also deserve honorary shout outs.

Not deserve to be mentioned there at all. Brown was very useful to us in 2006/7 title win when he covered for our injured CB. He also played a vital role in 2007/8. He doesn't belong to the category of the players you listed up there.

Dadehmola: This..

Yea, it is true. Val was our players' player of the season in 2011/2012. He was our second best in 2009/2010. Nani was our best in 2010/2011 (not too sure of the year)
