if he is smart enuf, i dont think he will refuse.. this is a god damn once in a life time chance.. to play with Man Utd in the most toughest league. i dont think playing no2 behind VDS is a problem as khe know that the time will come. Thats only if SAF really want him.. In SAF i trust

I think we'll need O'Shea or Brown at right back due to the fact that we'll probably need height and strength against Bolton.

I'm thinking Evans will play instead of Rio, with Rio penciled in against Valencia.

Yeah was thinking about that too, but it was after I posted.
Bolton with their long ball tactic plus Elmander and Nolan upfront, scary thought to imagine Rafael there
Ando made quite a few good passes in Scunthorpe game. Scholes nowadays rarely tries defence splitting pass I think. He influenced the game in a different way. So Ando to start for Bolton game

Bro, Nolan with Newcastle la 

You mean Davies right? 

He's half a girl he's half a boy Torres Torres

sign him but send him back loan for first team action.. or somewhere here at english club. when the time came he can just fill the spot

lol .. it's because of his avatar. He constantly distracted by the avatar.

Reem Shahwa...

WTF is so grand about Reem Shahwa? She has a porn tape or something because I don't see it in her. Ugh....

Hargreaves surprises Sir Alex

Owen Hargreaves is back in training and close to giving Sir Alex Ferguson a selection problem.

The boss told MUTV in an exclusive interview this morning: "Owen Hargreaves has come back training, he trained yesterday with the first team. He looked very good. I was surprised actually how good he was looking.

"It's an extra string to our bow. Bringing him in at this time, after being out for so long, obviously we'll have to monitor him and see how he's going to progress in the next few weeks. But it's good to see him back.

"Because he's been out for so long you have to see whether there's going to be a relapse. That's the first thing on our mind at the moment but having watched him in training yesterday if he continues that way he's going to give me another selection problem, no question about that."

Michael Carrick is also back in training, following an injection to treat his Achilles problem.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted Wayne Rooney is struggling to cope with the media spotlight on him.

Rooney has found himself in the headlines for the wrong reasons in recent weeks after revelations over his private life.

The England international has scored only one goal for United this season and he was left out of the draw at Everton as Ferguson feared the reception he would receive at Goodison Park.

And Ferguson believes Rooney may be mentally exhausted after coming under such constant scrutiny.

Focus

"I don't believe he has a confidence problem but the boy is starting to realise finally, without any question, what kind of focus is on him as a human being," Ferguson said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.

"He is realising what it means to be at the centre of media attention for non-football-related questions.

"I don't think the boy can turn a corner at the moment without a camera on him. He can't move without the paparazzi being on him and, for a young person, that is not what you want. You want to play and enjoy your football without that attention on you, because that can be quite exhausting.

"He would like to keep playing with freedom, but the siege of the tabloids can wear out anyone."

Meanwhile, Ferguson has hit out at Chelsea's 100 per cent start to the season claiming: 'I think they chose the fixture list themselves'.

Amazing start

The champions are four points clear at the top of the table after winning their opening five games as they prepare to face their first major test of the season at Manchester City this weekend.

Ferguson feels Chelsea could not have asked for a better start to the season, but conceded whoever finishes above Carlo Ancelotti's side will probably win the title.

"It's quite an amazing start to the season," added Ferguson.

"I think Chelsea chose the fixture list themselves. They finished last season scoring a lot of goals against weaker teams and have continued that way.

"You still have to beat those teams but Chelsea have done that in quite a strong fashion and anyone who wins the league will have to finish above them."

Skysports.com understands Sheffield United are lining up a loan swoop for Manchester United defender Ritchie de Laet.

Blades boss Gary Speed is keen to bolster his squad and he has moved to try and bring in De Laet on a three-month deal.

A number of clubs in the Championship, League One and SPL are all thought to have enquired about signing De Laet on loan, but it appears the Blades have won the race for his signature

The Belgium international has made six first-team appearances for United since arriving from Stoke in January 2009 and he is highly regarded within the corridors of Old Trafford.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is happy to let De Laet leave on loan so that he can get valuable first-team action under his belt with his chances limited in the the Red Devils' starting XI.

Dimitar Berbatov looks set to stand by his decision to retire from international football.

The 29-year-old Manchester United striker called time on his Bulgaria career in the summer after becoming his country's all-time record goalscorer, having scored 48 times in 77 caps.

Bulgaria have certainly been left to count the cost of Berbatov's decision to retire, as their Euro 2012 qualification hopes are already in tatters after a heavy defeat to England and a surprise home loss to Montenegro.

New coach Lothar Matthaus, who has been appointed this week to resurrect their chances of making it to the Ukraine and Poland, had admitted he is keen to try and tempt Berbatov back into the international fold.

But the former Tottenham striker, who has began the season in red hot form for United, is keen for his country to look to the future.

"I promised myself when I was nearly 30, if I didn't do anything with the national team it would be best to retire and give chances to younger players," he told MUTV.

"I wanted to let them see what it is have to national team on your shoulder."

Pride at record

Bulgaria have failed to reach a major competition since Euro 2004 and with the prospect of reaching the 2012 finals looking bleak, Matthaus could face an uphill struggle to persuade Berbatov, who is content at his achievements in international football.

"I wanted to reach the record before I retired. When I did break it, it was one of my proudest days," he admitted.
