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.

Hi alien, I uploaded the Scholes Centurion video (a compilation of all 100 goals he scored throughout his career in Man United).

If it's allowed, I thought why not share with other forummers by posting the link in the first few posts. The link is : http://rapidshare.com/files/367460321/PS_Cntrn1x0.rar =)

Now watch Wayne go

QUOTE
Wayne Rooney got his goals tally off the mark against West Ham, simultaneously shushing his critics and starting what his team-mates expect will be a fruitful spell in front of goal for the Reds no.10.

Considering his incredible scoring exploits last season, it’s surprising that Rooney has come in for negative press over a lean spell that has last 13 games, for some of which he was struggling with an injury. He’s only played in two league games this season and is still honing his fitness after missing pre-season.

While there was no great concern about his wait to start scoring again from inside the Reds camp, his colleagues were still pleased he’s got his season tally up and running.

Ryan Giggs, who won the penalty that Rooney converted against the Hammers, said: “It’s only the third game of the season, and he’s only played in two of them. But a goalscorer is a goalscorer and, especially with the season he had last year, he was keen to get off the mark. I’m sure he’ll start putting the ball away quite regularly now.”

Nani’s salient assessment is that Rooney is a confidence player: “It was important he scored. He’s a player who needs goals. This goal will give him more confidence for the games coming up.”

But Sir Alex says it’s his all-round game that he is focusing on, and more minutes under his belt that will inevitably lead to his best form. “Strikers want to score,” the boss said. “He took his penalty well. But it's his performance we should be talking about. He needs football, he needs games. That 90 minutes will do him no end of good. He'll get a couple of games for England now too, and that will help him for when he returns for some big games coming up.”

Nani's perfect riposte

QUOTE
Nani will be far happier tonight after a Man of the Match, goalscoring display in a 3-0 win over West Ham than he was last Sunday evening after a missed penalty and a 2-2 draw at Fulham.

The Portuguese winger was outstanding at Old Trafford and showed that he was unaffected by his missed spot-kick.

“We always enjoy ourselves when we’re scoring,” Nani told MUTV. “We had a draw last week and we were focused on getting the win. We played some good stuff and we won, so we’re happy. We could have scored a couple more goals, but the result is good for us.

“I was so excited to score my goal. I’ve missed a few opportunities so I was really hungry to get my goal. I was really happy to score and I want to continue to get goals to help the team. I want to push on this season, and I’ve been really looking forward to it. That’s why I’m working so hard.”

The Reds now go on international duty, but Nani insists it was important that, after last weekend’s dropped points, United remained in touch with Chelsea.

“Chelsea and the other teams are doing well, so we need to keep up with them,” the winger said. “We have to keep up with Chelsea. If they win, we have to win as well. We don’t want to lose any points, so that is why we are working hard to win every game.”

Boss delight at team play

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson said United’s 3-0 win over West Ham was littered with individual excellence, but crucially was characterised by team-play.

United’s goalscorers Nani, Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney, among others, can all be pleased with their personal contributions. But it was the performance as a collective had the manager waxing lyrical after the game.

“It was a very good performance and our possession of the ball was good,” said the boss. “The team performance pleased me most. They all wanted the ball, they wanted to pass and move. It was a good, collective performance.”

Nani was given the Man of the Match award by the host TV station, ESPN, and Sir Alex was delighted with the Portuguese winger’s performance on the right side of midfield.

“It was a terrific goal from Nani, a marvellous goal,” the boss said. “It’s a problem for me because he prefers playing on the right, but [Antonio] Valencia’s form has been outstanding too. It gives us a bit of a problem.”

Nani scored United’s second goal and made the third, a perfectly executed scissor-kick, for Dimitar Berbatov. “It was a really good goal from Berbatov as well,” added the boss. “He has got fantastic technique. He orchestrated a lot of our football today – Dimitar and Paul Scholes both did. That contribution doesn’t go unnoticed.”

There was also a welcome return to the scoresheet for Rooney. He’d gone 13 games – for club and country – without scoring a goal. But Sir Alex was never overly concerned by those statistics, instead looking at hi striker’s overall contribution.

“It was good Wayne got the goal, but his performance was the important thing for me,” he said. “He enjoyed his football and he was full of energy. That’s good because he’s not had a lot of football and he had a virus last week. But he trained all week and looked more like himself.

“Overall we were pleased with the team performance,” the boss concluded. “We had so many near-openings on the edge of the box that could have come to something that it’s always good to get that first goal. That opens the door for you. We had to wait a while for the second goal, but we didn’t stop playing our football. We deserved to go in front and we deserved to win. It was a good performance.”

Reds must stay on goal trail - Nani

QUOTE
Man of the match Nani deflected the praise for his champagne performance and paid tribute to his Manchester United colleagues.

The 23-year-old scored his first goal for the Reds since last February to help ease United to the 3-0 success against West Ham.

“I enjoyed it. You always enjoy it when you score. We played some good stuff and we won.

“It was a good game for everyone. If we win, we score brilliant goals, it is because everyone did an important job.

“It was a comfortable win. We could have scored a couple more goals but the result was good for us. Maybe before the end of the season we can score more goals.

“I was so excited to score. I had a lot of opportunities. I was angry with myself but the goal arrived and that made me happy. I want to continue scoring goals.

“We have to follow Chelsea. When they win, we have to win as well if we want to be at the top of the league. We can’t afford to lose any points. That is why we are working hard to win every game.”

While Nani played down his contribution, Ryan Giggs wasn’t so reticent.

“It was a really good performance from Nani,” said the veteran.

“His positional play was good. He was staying out wide and getting the crosses in. He ran inside. He scored a goal and made one. He could have had a few more.

“I was really pleased for him today. He deserved man-of-the-match.

“We all feel that as a team we need to score a lot more goals. We cannot just rely on Wayne as we did last year. Dimitar Berbatov has started on fire. All the midfield need to chip in, defenders, everyone.

“Obviously we would have liked nine points to start with but it’s not to be. In our two home games we have played some really good football.

“It could have been better but the previous two seasons we have been beaten at Fulham so maybe it was a point gained last week at Craven Cottage.

“We still have Rio Ferdinand to come in and Gary Neville and Anderson. It is a headache for the manager but it is one that he would rather have than be struggling for players.

“We are going to need everyone, it is a long season and the manager realises that.”

Edwin happy to keep going

QUOTE
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has admitted he no longer worries about when he will have to call time on his career.

Van der Sar turns 40 in October and remains at the top of his game for United, who he joined from Fulham five years ago.

Each passing season has led to suggestions it could be Van der Sar's last, but the Dutchman is now just happy to be playing at such a high level.

"I don't worry about when that day arrives," he said. "I am now exceeding my own expectations so it doesn't bother me.

"When I was younger I thought maybe I would finish in my mid-30s. But that is a normal time to be thinking about it when you are younger and for players at this level.

"That would have been the obvious time to finish, but I only came to United late in my career and maybe that is why I am still enjoying it.

"Coming to Old Trafford probably gave me a new lease of life."

Confidence

Van der Sar also believes that, while he retains the faith of United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, there is no need to contemplate retirement.

"The club have to be happy," he said.

"If they are not happy with the quality you are producing then there is no need to keep on going.

"I broke two fingers in pre-season last year and then got another knee injury later on, but every time I was fit I was picked again so that was a good sign for me.

"It proved he still had confidence in me and my qualities and ability.

"It is always nice when you work hard to get back and then the first opportunity to put you back in the team he does it. It is important to know he has that faith."

International Reds

QUOTE
Carrington will be quieter this week as United players begin their international duties at several different levels of the game.

The list of senior players away with their countries includes just two in the England squad. With captain Rio Ferdinand injured and defender Wes Brown recently announcing his retirement from the international scene, the only Reds in Fabio Capello's 23-man party are Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick. The United pair will be hoping to help England get off to a positive start in their European Championships qualifying matches against Bulgaria at home and Switzerland away on Saturday 3 and Wednesday 9 September respectively.

United also have two representatives apiece in the Northern Ireland squad - Jonny Evans and brother Corry Evans could both face Slovenia this Saturday - and the Republic of Ireland squad, following John O'Shea and Darron Gibson's expected call-ups for the Armenia (away) and Andorra (home) games.

Darren Fletcher will captain Scotland against Lithuania (away) and Liechtenstein (home). Elsewhere in Europe, Nemanja Vidic's Serbia travel to the Faroe Islands before entertaining Slovenia while Nani and Portugal have a home clash with Cyprus before a trip to Norway next midweek.

Further afield, Javier Hernandez and Antonio Valencia could face each other when Mexico host Ecuador. Ji-sung Park will skipper South Korea in another friendly against Iran in Seoul.

The Reds also have a number of players away at Under-21 level. Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling are both in the young England squad for games against Portugal (away) and Lithuania (home), Federico Macheda will be looking for goals as Italy face Bosnia and Wales and United's final signing of the summer, Bebe, is involved in Portugal's Under-21 squad. Reserve-team players Robbie Brady (Republic of Ireland) and Oliver Norwood (Northern Ireland) are also away.

Finally, at Under-19 level, goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, defender Zeki Fryers and striker Will Keane are on duty with England, defender Marnick Vermijl has been called up by Belgium and midfielder Etzaz Hussain is in Norway's squad.

Cleverley agrees Latics loan

QUOTE
United midfielder Tom Cleverley will spend the remainder of the 2010/11 season on loan at Wigan Athletic.

The England under-21 international has impressed in loan spells with Leicester City and Watford in the last two seasons, and will aim to gain Premier League experience with Roberto Martinez's side this term.

After toying with the idea of retaining Cleverley as a member of United's first team squad, Sir Alex Ferguson decided that a move to the DW Stadium would most hasten the promising youngster's football education.

Latics manager Martinez told Wigan's official club website: “Tom is a very exciting young player and we are delighted he his coming to us. He can play in a number of positions and will provide us with some good new options, and add great competition to the squad.

"We have been watching him for some time and feel he is the right sort of player to join our squad; young, hungry, desperate to play for the club in the Premier League and to grow with us."

Cleverley is currently on England under-21 international duty, but will join up with his new team-mates later this week and could make his Latics debut against Sunderland - and fellow United loanee Danny Welbeck - on Saturday, 11 September.

Martinez lauds Cleverley loan

QUOTE
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez believes that Tom Cleverley possesses all of the characteristics to prove a success at the DW Stadium.

The Manchester United midfielder has officially agreed a season-long loan deal with the Latics, as revealed by skysports.com earlier on transfer deadline day.

Martinez is pleased to have signed Cleverley and thinks that the England Under 21 international will be a positive acquisition.

"Tom is a very exciting young player and we are delighted he is coming to us," said the Wigan boss.

"He can play in a number of positions and will provide us with some good new options, and add great competition to the squad.

"We have been watching him for some time and feel he is the right sort of player to join our squad; young, hungry, desperate to play for the club in the Premier League and to grow with us."

Cleverley has previously had loan spells at Leicester and Watford in the last two seasons.

Korea Republic coach Cho Kwang-Rae has recalled midfielder Kim Do-Heon and handed a first call-up to young Ajax striker Suk Hyun-Jun for the 7 September friendly against Iran in Seoul.

Cho, whose side defeated Nigeria 2-1 earlier this month in his first game in charge, named 14 overseas players in his squad of 23 as Korea continue preparations for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup.

Again, we spent 20++m on Hernandez, Smalling & Bebe so there is money when needed. With the level of debt we have, the Glazers could just simply say no money and we won't able to do any signings at all but the fact is that they DID made the money available.
