AS the world's biggest and richest club, Manchester United reach a global fanbase.

Part of the attraction for fans around the world has been the football luminaries, such as George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton, who have graced the Old Trafford turf in a Manchester United shirt over the years.

Recently, Manchester United have continued to attract or develop some of the game's biggest names, with England stalwarts such as Paul Scholes and David Beckham having been regular fixtures in the Reds line-up.

The Manchester United team, past and present, reads like a who's who of world football.

It is only fitting that a great team should grace a great stadium. And with Old Trafford's recent development and the closure of Wembley, the ground is easily the largest in English football, holding in excess of 60,000 fans.

Despite this capacity, the demand to see United in action is so great that tickets are hard to come by.

But it isn't only Manchester United fans who flock to Old Trafford. The standard of the ground is such that it regularly hosts high-profile games, most notably, the Champions League Final and Great Britain rugby league games.

Rock fans have also made use of the Reds's facilities, watching a number of high-profile acts at the ground.

But it's football that will forever be synonymous with the Reds famous ground - and with good reason.

The last decade has seen Manchester United under the shrewd leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson maintain a virtual stranglehold on the Premiership crown.

Manchester United has won the league no fewer than 17 times in their history - 10 times in the last 11 seasons. They are also Cup Kings too, winning the FA cup 11 times, the league cup twice, as well as winning the European Super Cup, European Cup Winner's Cup, and 3 times being crowned European Cup champions.

Manchester United has long become a name associated with success both on and off the pitch.

As club profits continue to grow, Manchester United have become one of the richest sports clubs on the planet.

With supporters club branches on every continent, it's hard to go any where in the world and not see somebody wearing the famous red shirt of Manchester United.

QUOTE(zenix @ Nov 24 2009, 09:18 PM)
Hope Alien will sticky this info later.
Though written in 2006 so no Roy Keane yet.

Ex-United players that have moved on to become managers.

Written by Simon Stone (MARCH 22, 2006)

STEVE BRUCE (1987-1996): Took his first steps in management with Sheffield United in 1998, then swiftly moved on to Huddersfield, Wigan and Crystal Palace. Left Selhurst Park in acrimonious fashion after Birmingham targeted him as the replacement for Trevor Francis in 1991. Took Blues into the Premier League but after a heavy FA Cup defeat is struggling to keep his job.

MARTIN POWELL (1971-1983): Stylish and well-respected Scotland centre-half whose authoritative nature appeared to make him a natural for the management game. Lasted four months at Burnley.

SIR BOBBY CHARLTON (1956-1973): Arguably the finest English player of all time proved to be an unmitigated disaster as a manager. Claimed he was not given the resources to make a decent job of it at Preston but was never lured back into management following his departure after a single season.

STEVE COPPELL (1975-1983): After a knee injury cut his playing career short at just 28, Coppell turned his attention to management. Steered Crystal Palace into the FA Cup final and then third place in the old First Division - the Eagles' highest ever - the following season. It was the first of four stints in charge at Selhurst Park in a career which has seen him move to Manchester City (for only six games), Brentford and Brighton. Now at Reading and about to steer the Royals into the top flight for the first time.

PADDY CRERAND (1962-1971): A key figure in United's 1968 European Cup triumph, Crerand lasted five months at Northampton before getting the bullet and, like Charlton, never managed again.

MARK HUGHES (1983-86, 1988-95): Hughes was never tipped as a manager by Ferguson but has taken to the game with ease. Took Wales into the Euro 2004 play-offs. Took over at Blackburn shortly afterwards, steering Rovers away from danger in his first season. Currently in contention for a Champions League spot.

BRIAN KIDD (1967-1974): Another European Cup winner who proved to be a poor manager. Got itchy feet in 1998 after spending seven years as Sir Alex Ferguson's highly-rated assistant. Took command at Blackburn but dismissed six months later.

BRYAN ROBSON (1981-94): United's inspirational leader under Ron Atkinson and Ferguson. There are two schools of thought on his stint at Middlesbrough - he either spent lots and achieved little (relegation and two losing finals) or he laid the platform for the Teessiders to become an established Premiership outfit. Kept West Brom up in extraordinary fashion last year but back in trouble again this season.

GORDON STRACHAN (1984-89): Scotland international who won the FA Cup with United and the title of the pre-Premiership era with Leeds. Sacked after five years at when the Sky Blues lost top-flight status, then enjoyed success at Southampton - reaching the 2003 Cup final - before resigning to spend more time with his family. Now at Celtic, has recovered from a humiliating Champions League exit to Artmedia Bratislava, and, after winning his first trophy on Sunday in the CIS Insurance Cup, is set to clinch the Scottish Premier League.

NOBBY STILES (1960-71): Along with Charlton, one of only two Englishmen to have won the World Cup and European Cup, he replaced his former England and United team-mate at Preston, with limited success. After a brief stint in Vancouver, returned to England to take over as manager of West Brom. Sacked after five months, having gained just three wins.

Park Ji-sung has vowed to get on the scoresheet more after recovering from a knee injury that has sidelined him for most of the season.

The 28-year-old played his first full game for Manchester United in almost four months in their 2-0 win over Tottenham in the Carling Cup on Tuesday.

Although he has been relatively happy with his performances since his comeback, the midfielder admits he needs to improve his goal tally if he is to push for a regular first-team spot.

"I need to improve my finishing. I need more goals," Park told the Manchester Evening News.

"I study the other players in training, particularly the forwards, and I look at how they are scoring goals. What do they do when they finish a chance? I know I can get better and will get better personal results.

"The likes of Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen and Ryan Giggs - I can see it live every day. I don't have to sit in front of a TV to study it."

Composure

The South Korea international believes the key is to become more relaxed in front of goal.

"They are more confident and composed in front of goal than I am," he added.

"I have to stop rushing things. I have to be composed in my mind and slow things down. I think that will make me a better finisher.

"In training I feel a lot more confident about how that side of my game is going. I think I am capable of scoring eight to ten goals in a season. I believe I can do that if I have a full season free of injuries."

The last 5 goals for the Goals of The Decade is out and as expected, 3 are from CR smile.gif

Goals of the Decade: P-T

QUOTE
P. Cristiano Ronaldo, United 2 Portsmouth 0, League, OT, 30.01.08
The Portuguese flyer takes the free-kick to a new height with this searing 30-yard arrow that gets up over an eight-man wall with ease and dips just enough to fly in a fraction below the crossbar. If there was a Noble Set-Piece Prize, this would win it.

Q. Paul Scholes, United 1 Barcelona 0, Champions League, OT, 29.04.08
Ronaldo's first chance to open up and run at Barcelona pays off when his run was halted on the edge of the area, and the ball falls to Scholes to strike a humdinger on the bounce right into the top corner. The perfect start to a gripping semi-final second leg.

R. Federico Macheda, United 3 Aston Villa 2, League, OT, 05.04.09
The 17 year-old debutant becomes an instant Old Trafford hero when he scores a sensational injury-time winner. Receiving the ball with his back to goal, he wrong-foots his marker before curling a superb shot past Brad Friedel and into the far corner.

S. Ronaldo, Porto 0 United 1, Champions League, Estadio do Dragao, 15.04.09
Cristiano has gunpowder in his boots as he booms a 40-yard cannonball into the net. The Porto keeper doesn’t have a prayer, despite the distance.

T. Ronaldo, Arsenal 1 United 3, Champions League, Emirates Stadium, 05.05.09
The Reds' number seven impishly backheels a pass to Park before high-tailing it towards the Gunners' area. He reaches his destination at the same time as Rooney's perfectly-weighted pass, and drills a fine shot high into Almunia's goal.

Is there any other good partnership?

Of course Brown and Vidic!

Here's sheep319 Line-up Prediction™ for tomorrow's match


Kuzco
Gazza - Vazza - Brazza - Ezza
G.Neville - Vidic - Brown - Evra
Ronaldo
Valencia - Carrick - Fletcher - Giggs
Berbatov - Rooney


Anderson shined during Carling Cup, so I don't see why he might not start. Prolly Gibson or him will be making a cameo after half time.

As always, Obotak will come on for Giggs, 70th minute.

Macheda comes on and replaces Berbatov.

1445: Nemanja Vidic is ill apparently, while Rafael and Fabio, or Rabio as they're collectively known, are both injured, hence Gaz Neville at centre-back and Darren Fletcher at right-back.

Oh mai, injury crisis again. Seems like the physio team hiring alot of hot nurses there brows.gif brows.gif Gibson and Scholes, they are different type of players and I really feel glad for Gibson as before this the hype is surrounding Obertan and he really need those goals to state his point on claiming the first team action. If only Nani will learn from Gibson, take every chance presented and push it to the best.

Coming UCL match scary la wei, we need to secure top seed in order to avoid big team. I don't want to face RM or Barca at the first round sad.gif

Any teams that make it into the knockout stages will be dangerous regardless they are the big clubs or not. Topping the group will ensure we playing 2nd leg at home soil which will give us the slight advantage.

Phelan hints at Dzeko move

QUOTE
Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan has hinted that the club may make a move for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.

The Bosnia international was close to joining AC Milan in the summer with Arsenal also reportedly interested, but Wolfsburg held firm.

The 23-year-old has continued to impress this term and scored against the Red Devils when the German champions visited Old Trafford in the UEFA Champions League earlier this season.

Dzeko has added two more goals in Europe since then and, having bagged 36 goals in all competitions last campaign, has notched 13 in 21 games this time round.

Ideal

"I'm sure there are a number of teams looking at him," Phelan said.

"Are we one of them? We are looking at talent all of the time and we are in there with the rest of them.

"He showed his threat in the game at Old Trafford and he appeals because he is a tall, skilful boy and in some ways he is an ideal player for the English league.

"He has stature, his feet are good and he is producing some good performances. I am sure everybody has looked at him."

Big-hitters impress Sir Alex

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted to see the master Paul Scholes and the apprentice Darron Gibson scoring long-range goals in the 4-0 win over West Ham.

The United boss has encouraged his midfield men to shoot from outside the box this season, and against the Hammers his wish was granted as both men hit stunning 20-yard efforts.

“It was a great performance, particularly in the second half,” Sir Alex told MUTV. “Getting the goal just before half-time helped us of course. The goal allowed us to settle down and use our experience in the second half. We played very well then.”

Central to the performance was the midfield magic of Scholes. “Paul is an incredible player and he is conducting our play so well at the moment,” enthused the boss. “He’s making it look good for us.

“And as I’ve always said about Darron, he has this ability and power to score from outside the box, which he proved again today with a marvellous strike.

“I was pleased that we did try to [shoot from distance] on a number of occasions, and it does give us an extra dimension to our game because we don’t normally have midfield players who can do that.”

Scholes orchestrated play for the Reds at Upton Park alongside the youth of Gibson and Anderson. Sir Alex feels the two apprentices will have learnt a thing or two from the experience.

“They are both only young boys of 22 and 21 years of age. They are going to be great players, and they accept that Paul Scholes is the finished article. They see a man who has been doing it for 15 years at the highest level. He’s a great example to them and it will rub off I’m sure.”

Gibson hails strong squad

QUOTE
United may be losing players left, right and centre  sweat.gif , but Darron Gibson praised the strength of the Reds' squad after Saturday's 4-0 win over West Ham.

Sir Alex had defensive selection problems before the game, with Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, John O'Shea, Fabio and Rafael all unavaliable. By the time the final whistle sounded, Gary Neville and Wes Brown had joined the walking wounded.

It meant United began the match with Darren Fletcher at right back... and ended it with Michael Carrick and Evra in the heart of defence, with Ryan Giggs on the left.

"It was a massive win for us and shows how good our squad is," Gibson told MUTV. "We have players who can step in and do a good job. I’ve not seen Michael play at centre half before... and Fletch was playing out of position too."

Gibson netted his third goal of the week (and United's second at Upton Park) with a stunning strike from outside the box.

"I was buzzing after the Spurs game on Tuesday and ready to play again. It was a massive boost for me [to start against West Ham]. My two goals during the week got my confidence up and the gaffer’s stuck with me, which is great.

"For my goal, Patrice gave me the ball, I gave it to Giggsy… the manager and Mick Phelan had been telling me and Anderson to get forward so I ran forward and Giggsy gave me the ball back and I just stroked it home. I think it was better than the goals against Spurs. It was a better celebration so I’m happy with that!

"Overall, we’re very happy with the performance and I think we're starting to hit our stride. Hopefully we can kick on from here and keep winning."

Today in Wolfsburg

QUOTE
Return here for updates on Monday and Tuesday as Ben Hibbs travels with the team for the final Champions League group game in Wolfsburg...

09:15 Young Norwegian midfielder Magnus Eikrem has just checked in for what is his first European trip with the first team. I asked him if he can play at centre-back (even though I said early I'd had enough of that joke). He laughed (he's obviously not heard the gag as much as me) and said: "I don't know about that. But I'd play right-back if asked." We might need him to.

08:56 Sir Alex is always first to check in at the airport. He smiled, said 'Good morning' to me and Stewart Gardner from MUTV and seemed in good spirits. Now I'm waiting to see what the travelling squad is going to be. There are rumours around that suggest Vidic isn't travelling.

08:43 Well, that was an entertaining ride to Manchester Airport. The taxi driver interrupts his running commentary of the morning's traffic to tell me: "I stink, you know." I was slightly taken aback, and responded: "Oh right, why's that?" Apparently he'd made some scrambled eggs this morning, but left them for a bit and they went cold. "So I warmed them up in the microwave for a minute," he said. "When I opened the door they exploded all over me!"

08:03 The key update this morning, of course, is how many fit defenders Sir Alex can rustle up for the trip – don't forget we've got top spot in Group B to play for. I'll report back after around 09:30 GMT from Manchester airport with the travelling squad. If you have a question for me over the next two days, get in touch on Talking Reds. But I'll warn you I've already lost count of the amount of people who've said to me: "Got your boots? Might need you in defence on Tuesday!" Funny at first, now wearing thin. So, just stop it, okay?

07:58 I'm about to set off for the airport – I leave for Germany with the team at 10:30 GMT. Lots of fans have already travelled out, or will be doing so today, on the promise of litre beers and Christmas markets... as well as the football. Some Reds I know are staying in nearby Hannover and Berlin. We're settling for Wolfsburg itself, not too far away from the Volkswagen Arena. I'm led to believe the big attraction in Wolfsburg is the Autostadt Theme Park. Volkswagen, the major employers in the city, own and run a huge motor museum. So I'll check that out at some point.

Giggs advice for Scholes

QUOTE
Stuart Mathieson

December 07, 2009

RYAN Giggs has told Paul Scholes he'll get used to his non-regular role for the Reds.

The 36-year-old and his 35-year-old sidekick masterminded United's thumping 4-0 away win at West Ham.

But Scholes went into the game having declared he was dismayed at his contribution and disappointed he'd only started 10 of United's 21 matches this term.

"We all want to play every game and Paul is no different," Giggs told MEN Sport.

"He wants to play every week but with the squad we have got that is impossible. It is difficult at times when you go two or three weeks without a game and internationals come along and you are not involved in those as well. It is difficult to get back into the rhythm of it.

"You have to adapt to not playing every week but I have probably been doing it for the past three or four years so I have got used to it. Scholesy isn't used to it the same. But I am more of a dynamic player than Scholesy so perhaps I need more breaks.

"He can still get forward or sit in front of the back four and control the game.

"I can also play a number of positions but he is just the centre of midfield so it is more difficult to play every week.

"So all this not playing regularly is new to him. But he'll adapt to it as he has been proving.

Scholes control

"Saturday was what Scholesy is all about - controlling the game. He never gives the ball away. His passing range is the best in the game whether it is five yards or 45 yards he is capable of doing both.

"Paul is showing over the last couple of weeks just what a great player he still is."

Nevertheless, Scholes has hinted he'll assess his future in the summer.

"It is totally up to Scholesy. It all depends on how you feel and it is the same with me," added Ryan.

"It is still fairly early in the season. It is the middle of the campaign and not at the end and I feel good at the moment. I am sure Scholesy feels the same.

"With the experience he has got and the quality he has got you want that around the place for as long as possible."

Reds' boss Sir Alex Ferguson added his tribute to the playmaker and goalscorer.

"Paul is an incredible player and he is conducting our play so well right now and he is making it look good for us," he said.

"Darron Gibson and Anderson are young boys and are going to be great players but in Paul, they have to accept there is a man who is the finished article who has been doing it at the very highest level for 15 years.

"It is a great example and it will rub off I am sure."

No Vidic against Wolfsburg.....

Vidic misses United trip

QUOTE
Manchester United's injury-hit defence will be without Nemanja Vidic for Tuesday's match with Wolfsburg in the UEFA Champions League.

Last season's losing finalists travel to Germany hoping to secure top spot in Group B and, in theory, a more comfortable draw for the knockout stages.

But they will do so without Vidic as the centre-back has not recovered from the illness which ruled him out of Saturday's Premier League mauling of West Ham.

The 28-year-old has not travelled with Sir Alex Ferguson's side to leave his manager with a defensive headache for the game at Volkswagen Arena.

Ferguson's list of injured defenders includes Gary Neville and Wes Brown, who both limped off at Upton Park, plus longer-term casualties Rio Ferdinand, John O'Shea and Jonny Evans.

With the Da Silva brothers, Fabio and Rafael, also sidelined, the only orthodox defender Ferguson has in his squad is left-back Patrice Evra.

Ferguson has already revealed his intention to play Michael Carrick in central defence, while Darren Fletcher also seems certain to occupy a defensive berth.

QUOTE
10:32 United have packed the nappies and rusks for this trip! All the journalists on the plane are trying to work out what the back four will be. Any ideas? Post 'em in the Talking Reds thread please. I'd best turn off my phone and computer now – we're on the runway! I'll check in again once we've landed in Germany.

09:58 So Sir Alex is only taking 19 players, of whom only Oliver Gill and Patrice Evra are recognised defenders! Presumably Michael Carrick will continue at centre-back after filling in there at Upton Park on Saturday.

09:57 The full travelling squad is as follows, in no particular order: Ben Foster, Gabriel Obertan, Magnus Eikrem, Paul Scholes, Darron Gibson, Antonio Valencia, Oliver Gill, Michael Carrick, Matty James, Michael Owen, Darren Fletcher, Danny Welbeck, Ji-sung Park, Anderson, Patrice Evra, Cameron Stewart, Tomasz Kuszczak, Nani, Oliver Norwood.

Manchester United's injury crisis has worsened with the news defender Nemanja Vidic will miss their Champions League tie at Wolfsburg on Tuesday.

The Serb has a flu bug and been left at home, with United already through to the last 16 of the tournament.

Vidic joins Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Gary Neville, Rafael da Silva, Fabio da Silva, Johnny Evans and John O'Shea on the sidelines for United.

Michael Carrick will play at centre-back, possibly with Darren Fletcher.

Fletcher was expected to fill in at right-back but could now be forced to move to the centre following Vidic's withdrawal from the squad, although Patrice Evra could be another option.

United had hoped Vidic would have recovered from the flu bug that kept him out of Saturday's win at West Ham, but he failed to make the flight to Germany.

Oliver Gill, son of chief executive David, Magnus Eikrem, Cameron Stewart, Matt James and Oliver Norwood are all unfamiliar faces who were included in United's 19-man squad.

Young squad fly to Germany

QUOTE
United have flown to Wolfsburg for Tuesday’s Champions League encounter with only two recognised defenders… and only one with previous first-team experience.

Injuries have hit Sir Alex’s squad hard, with eight defenders – Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Wes Brown, Gary Neville, Rafael, Fabio, John O’Shea and Jonny Evans – ruled out of the trip. As a result, Patrice Evra and 19-year-old Oliver Gill (pictured) found themselves among a bevy of midfielders on Monday morning as the squad boarded the flight to Germany.

Michael Carrick is expected to drop into the backline after his impressive centre-half cameo at Upton Park on Saturday, while Darron Gibson has also indicated he'd feel comfortable in a defensive role.

"I've played centre-back before so I would have been all right," he said after the win at West Ham. "We have players who can step into unfamiliar positions and do a good job."

The boss’s selection woes for Tuesday's match in Wolfsburg were compounded by news that Ritchie De Laet is ineligible to play in the competition. The young Belgian defender would surely have been an automatic choice on Tuesday night given the current injury situation. Unlike Gill, however, he wasn’t able to be registered as a last-minute squad member as UEFA regulations stipulate additional players must have been at the club for a period of two years. De Laet signed for the Reds in January 2009.

Oliver Gill, a no-nonsense defender who’s made nine appearances for the Reserves this season, is yet to make his first-team debut but could find himself in the starting XI on Tuesday night. He’s not the only player on the trip yet to taste first-team action: Reserves midfielders Cameron Stewart, Matty James, Magnus Eikrem and Oliver Norwood all boarded the flight to Germany.

There were notable absences, too, with Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Dimitar Berbatov and Federico Macheda left behind in Manchester, presumably with one eye on this weekend’s league fixture against Aston Villa.

United’s 19-man squad for the game in Wolfsburg: Tomasz Kuszczak, Ben Foster, Patrice Evra, Oliver Gill, Gabriel Obertan, Magnus Eikrem, Paul Scholes, Darron Gibson, Antonio Valencia, Michael Carrick, Matty James, Darren Fletcher, Ji-sung Park, Anderson, Cameron Stewart, Nani, Oliver Norwood, Michael Owen, Danny Welbeck
