PICTURE: Zoran Tosic With United Shirt

0
Zoran Tosic, who was given a work permit last week which enables him to join United in January, has been seen out with a United shirt. Following Dimitar Berbatov signing a United shirt before he'd officially sealed the deal with the club, Tosic has gone one step further and actually looks set to try it [.

Tosic Gets A Work Permit!

1
Reports earlier this week suggested that the supposed transfers for Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic were a load of rubbish. It seems as though Partizan Belgrade were double bluffing though, as now it appears as if a work permit application has been approved, with the left-winger set to join United in January.

Are We Signing Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljaji? Apparently Not

0
Partizan Belgrade youngsters, Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic, have been linked very heavily with a move to our club, with talks of work permits and millions of quid in transfer fees flying around. Apparently, it's all nonsense. "It is not true that Tosic and Ljajic have already signed for Manchester United," said Partizan sports director Ivan Tomic. Click to continue reading...

Foster To Join Campbell At Tottenham?

The shock of the week had to be Harry Redknapp deserting Portsmouth, again, in favour for the job at Tottenham Hotspur. He repeated over and over what a massive club Spurs were and how he couldn't say no, despite the club picking up just 5 points from a possible 27. Since then, Cesc Fabregas has claimed [.

Mourinho Desperate For United Job… But No Plans For Replacement Yet

1
Jose Mourinho has an impressive resume, with his league titles and Portugal and England, as well as his European Cup win with Porto, yet he is still some way short of deserving a job at Manchester United.

Pogatetz Ready To Make Second Appology

2
Manchester United's victory over Middlesbrough in the 3rd Round of the Carling Cup was overshadowed by the horrendous 'challenge' on United youngster, Rodrigo Possebon. Following the clattering tackle, Pogatetz looked bewildered by the referee's decision to show him a straight red card.

Did We Miss A Trick With Senna?

5
Two years ago Sky Sports News reported that Manchester United had signed Marcos Senna for £3.5 million. Guillem Balague then announced the deal hadn't yet been confirmed, but would be shortly, however for a fee closer to £6 million. The reaction from the United fans was fairly mixed, with most being put off by his age. Click to continue reading...

Fighting It Out With Chelsea Over Danish United Fan Defender

There was a time not so long ago that United seemed to lose out to Chelsea on transfers all the time. Whether it was Arjen Robben or Michael Essien, the top talents in Europe wanted a piece of Chelsea's money and sucess, whilst we settled for Djemba-Djemba shaped crumbs.

Whilst we've been told to fear Manchester City's new takeover, there seems to be a clear feeling of 'if anyone can fuck this up, it's City' buzzing around Manchester.

Gill: Why Frazier Wasn’t Sold And Saha Was

After possibly the most dramatic close of the transfer window ever, Manchester United finally landed their man, Dimitar Berbatov, and loaned out young striker, Frazier Campbell, in return.

City Are Quickly Becoming A Joke…

My expectations of fellow Mancs, even if from the blue side of town, would lead me to believe that even they've got to cringing following the comments of Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim today. After news broke through that City had bid for Dimitar Berbatov, one of their websites wrote a piss-taking article regarding them signing Wayne Rooney [. Click to continue reading...

After staying up until close to 1am to get the official confirmation through, I am fairly relieved that I can now say Dimitar Berbatov is a Manchester United player.

Berbatov: This Is A Dream Come True

1
After plenty of drama, Manchester United secured the signing of Dimitar Berbatov. Given the fact we had months to sort out this transfer, you wouldn't have thought it would have been as last minute as it was. United fans mobbed Berbatov as he left Old Trafford at around 12.30am, half an hour after the transfer window [. Click to continue reading...

Hughes: Bid Accepted And I’m Meeting Berbatov

Earlier today I reported that Manchester City had put in a bid for our top transfer target, Dimitar Berbatov, around the £30 million mark. There is talk of four players joining the blues today following the takeover by people who supposedly dwarf Roman Abromovich's riches.

I can't even imagine Sir Alex Ferguson's face upon hearing reports that Manchester City have put a bid in for Dimitar Berbatov.

Frazier Campbell is one of the youngsters a lot of reds have high hopes for. We desperately want to see United standard players come up through the academy and Campbell is someone United fans could argue might have what it takes.

Louis Saha is a player I've stuck up for on numerous occasions, before my patience ran out.

Finally! That Pathetic Excuse For A Player Leaves

China's answer to Wayne Rooney joined Manchester United four years ago. Back then, Arsenal were going unbeaten in the league, Roy Carroll was our goalkeeper, Chelsea were finishing above us in the league, and a 19-year-old Portuguese kid had scored for us in the FA Cup final.
