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 =)

Edit (08 Nov 2010): Looks like the link is no longer working (thx to sinoffire for notifying) so I reuploaded the video to a new link:

Anyone watch Carrington Revealed before?
really worth watching it

In the video you see what goes on at Carrington and Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand provide
a tour of United's training ground.

here are the links

Yeah. That was quite some drama.

Anyways, there should normally be no confirmed line up until just before the match, right?

One of the most bizarre goal we ever had! laugh.gif

Although the players should had play by the whistle but the referee & linesman have to share the blame as well. They got 2 key decisions wrong which were the penalty claim which was a legit claim and the handball by Nani which should had been a freekick for Spurs. Yet neither were given and somehow bizarrely Clatternburg allow the play to go on.

Good to see our flank players (Evra, Park, Rafael, Nani) managed to shutdown Bale and Lennon quite effectively.

Sir Alex: Ref got it right

QUOTE
Sir Alex feels Mark Clattenburg's decision to allow Nani's late goal against Tottenham to stand was the correct one.

Confusion reigned for the final few minutes of United's 2-0 victory at Old Trafford after the Portuguese winger had stolen in to poke the ball in to an empty net after Spurs stopper Heurelho Gomes had put the ball down believing his side had been awarded a free-kick. In actual fact, the ball was still in play after Clattenburg had waved play on following a penalty appeal and hand-ball from Nani.

Sir Alex admitted to being totally baffled by proceedings at the time, but having seen the replays and spoken to his players he feels the outcome was the correct one.

"At the time I had absolutely no idea what had happened!" the boss told MUTV. "We appealed for the penalty and didn't get it and as Nani fell the ball hit his hand and went into the goalkeeper's arms. At that point the goalkeeper's got control of the ball and the referee said to play on.

"The linesman didn't flag until after the goal was scored and I've still no idea why. The referee didn't blow his whistle at all and Nani actually looked at him to check. He said play on, so Nani put the ball in the net.

"The goalkeeper should know better. He's an experienced player and made a bit of a mess of it. You've got to play to the whistle, but he put the ball down thinking he was going to take a free-kick and, of course, it wasn't.

"The goal should definitely have stood because the referee has played on. It's the linesman and goalkeeper who have made the biggest mistakes."

Up until the controversy in the latter stages, it had been a closely fought game with Spurs, and Rafael van der Vaart in particular, causing more than a few scares for United's defence, especially in the first half.

"We gave him too much room and caused ourselves problems by doing that," said Sir Alex. "At the same time though, we played some good football and created some decent chances, but the game was probably too open.

"Once we got ahead we needed to make sure we didn't leave as much space as we had in the first half and we were far better in the second. Tactically and concentration-wise we did really well."

The victory over Spurs was United's third in a week following wins over Stoke and Wolves in the Carling Cup, and the manager feels his side are now heading in the right direction following some indifferent form.

"I think the result at Stoke last weekend has lifted the team," he added. "Getting in front in these big matches is important and I think we played some good football against a strong side. Hopefully we can kick on from here."

Skipper salutes team ethic

QUOTE
Nemanja Vidic praised United's collective defending against Tottenham, after the Reds rode out a tricky opening period to keep Harry Redknapp's side at arm's length and post a crucial victory.

The Serbian headed United into the lead before Nani sealed the three points late on, but it was the calm, composed manner with which the Reds kept Spurs at bay which stood out at Old Trafford.

Rather than hog the limelight for his contribution at both ends, or single out central defensive partner Rio Ferdinand for special praise, skipper Vidic insisted on praising the diligence of the entire team.

"It's important for the team to keep a clean sheet," he told MUTV. "We lost so many goals at the beginning of the season which didn't really happen before.

"They're a good side. With the pressure in the first 20 minutes, they looked good. We left them so much room to play, we were a bit far from their players. After 20 minutes I think we settled and after that we controlled the game.

"Rio is an important player for us. He has experience, he has good abilities and this is nothing new. I think as a team we played well today, especially in the second half when we had the 1-0 lead. We defended together and it was not just about one or two men.

"The whole team did well and we got a clean sheet. We did well, we have the three points and hopefully now we win more games in a row, which will be important to catch Chelsea."

Vidic's thumping header takes his season's tally to two goals, and he feels that he will take heart in his ongoing bid to contribute goals more often.

"I think I should score more but I try," he laughed. "Sometimes it's not happening but today obviously Nani had a good cross, I was in the right place and it was a very important goal for me. I'm trying to score more, it will be good for confidence and hopefully there will be more."

Fletch: It's all about us

QUOTE
Darren Fletcher feels United's sights should be set internally, rather than on league leaders Chelsea, as the Reds bid to reel in the reigning Premier League champions.

United registered back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time this season by topping last weekend's win at Stoke with a hard-fought home win over Tottenham. Chelsea remain five points clear after snatching victory at Blackburn on Saturday, but Fletch - outstanding against Spurs - feels United are in sufficiently good form to be optimistic.

"We just want to take care of ourselves," the midfielder told MUTV. "We realised that Chelsea had scored a late goal to win, but all our focus and concentration was on the match.

"We can't control what Chelsea do, we can only control what Manchester United do. That's always been said by the manager and the players, so we were fully concentrated on the game and we wanted three points so we could keep going on the little run that we've started.

"We'd have to liked to have created more chances in the second half (against Spurs), but we felt solid and comfortable even at 1-0. They weren't creating many chances, we were solid, we were getting behind the ball and we were keeping possession.

"We've played well this season, I think the only time we haven't really played well was at Sunderland. Apart from that in every game we've done well and if we can put a run of wins together then let's keep it going."

Fletcher empathised with Tottenham's frustration over Nani's controversial clinching goal, but felt that a degree of justice had been done by the goal's bizarre award.

"I knew that the referee hadn't blown for a foul and the ball was still in play," he said. "The goalkeeper had a bit of a misunderstanding, he's put the ball down and Nani's put it in the back of the net.

"Tottenham will be very aggrieved by that, and perhaps rightly so, but in the first instance I think it's a stonewall penalty so in some ways we got a bit of justice."

I would take it with a pinch of salt. SAF know that by declaring he is out to get someone in January, the price is bound to go up. Plus the last time he said we are done with transfers, we end up signing Bebe not long after that! laugh.gif

come to think of it, why is Rio allowed to listen in while for other Spurs player, they were shooed away? maybe Spurs players will keep on protesting so it is right to wave them away, but being fair that means no United players should be near as well.  hmm.gif Plus he's not even the captain, the person who i believe can chip into the discussion, if allowed, should be both team's captain.

Yeap, Rio should not be there when Clattenburg was talking to the linesman. If anyone from our side need to be there, its Vida himself.

Watched the MOTD highlight. Clattenburg was the referee for the game where Carroll "fumbled" the ball crossing the line as well laugh.gif

Five more weeks for Rooney

QUOTE
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson expects Wayne Rooney to be out of action for another five weeks with an ankle problem.

Rooney has not played since the 2-2 draw against West Brom on 16th October, when he came on a substitute for the final 20 minutes.

He was then ruled out of the UEFA Champions League clash with Bursaspor a few days later after suffering an injury in training, as talks over his future at the club dominated the headlines.

The striker has therefore already been sidelined for almost a fortnight with an injury that was initially expected to keep him out for just three weeks.

Ferguson admitted on Friday that he would be out for longer and the England striker is now not likely to be back until early December.

"I think Wayne Rooney will be out for another five weeks," said Ferguson.

"He'll have to pick up his fitness again. I would think five weeks should be about right."

If Ferguson's estimation proves correct then Rooney could miss several vital Premier League games as well as United's three remaining Champions League Group C fixtures.

I will not be surprise at all if somehow he play in the Manchester derby! tongue.gif laugh.gif

Fergie rules out signings

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he is not planning to sign any new players during the January transfer window.

Manchester United remain five points behind leaders Chelsea in the Premier League table following a 2-0 victory over Tottenham on Saturday.

They are unbeaten this season but there has been plenty of discussion about whether Ferguson might need to strengthen his squad in the New Year.

Wayne Rooney recently questioned the club's ambition and ability to attract the world's top players, before being given reassurances and deciding to sign a new long-term contract.

And Ferguson does not see the need to bring in a single fresh face when the transfer window reopens, with a number of key players set to return to fitness for the second half of the campaign.

"We won't be buying in January, definitely not," Ferguson said in the Independent.

"If you want someone to play in Europe, you are limited right away. There are hundreds of players cup-tied.

"You have five months left of the season, I will have Antonio Valencia back hopefully towards the end of February, which is a new player coming back.

"If Michael Owen gets back, it is another new player coming back. So with the squad I've got, I don't see any reason for us to buy anyone."

Nani leads the most goal assists in BPL which is 8. Man, we are very dangerous in our attacking set-pieces. Most of the times we scored after having attacking set pieces.

I think the premierleague.com website got the assist stats wrong though. I have been tracking our stats on game-by-game basis and Nani has 6 assists, not 8.

Ronaldo behind Nani success

QUOTE
Nani has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo has been a key figure in transforming his game since his departure from Old Trafford.

Ronaldo left Manchester United in a record breaking £80million deal last summer to fulfil a boyhood dream to play for Real Madrid.

But he has been encouraging Nani to fill the breach created by his departure, which has inspired his protégé to achieve a new level of consistency.

Cristiano

"Cristiano is always there for me. We are big friends and he helps me with my game - even though he is in Madrid we speak all the time," Nani told The People.

"It is great to have a friend like that, someone who can hear me out and give me encouragement.

"Things are going well this season and now people are seeing the real Nani. My performance in the team has been very good, but I want to do more and I have to keep learning and improving."

Nani, along with the other young players in the squad, has also been given a fresh injection of confidence by the old sage of management Sir Alex Ferguson.

Opportunity

"The manager has already played a big part in my form. He has a meeting with all the young players because now we are getting more opportunity," added Nani.

"He is always impressing on the young players how it is important to get better. United is a big club and we need to win, so every player on the pitch needs to think he can be the best in the world.

"The manager tells us we are here because we are the best. The young players have been playing a lot in the team lately.

"We have to be strong in our minds and when we get our opportunities on the pitch we have to think we can play well and be part of a winning team."

Strong squad for Turkey trip

QUOTE
Sir Alex insists he will be taking a strong squad to Turkey for the Champions League clash with Bursaspor on Tuesday as United continue their pursuit for a spot in the knock-out stages.

With Rangers and Valencia - United's closest challengers in Group C - meeting in Spain on the same night, victory for the group leaders over bottom-placed Bursaspor, who are yet to pick up a solitary point, would see the Reds take a big step towards qualification for the last 16.

Asked by MUTV if he might be tempted to leave some of his big names in Manchester, Sir Alex said: "I'd rather take a strong squad and try to make sure we move closer to getting through to the next stages.

"If we win we'll be on ten points and we're virtually qualified then. That's the way I need to look at it.

"If there are any doubts [over players' fitness] I won't take them, but it looks like they're all okay," added the boss, who saw his side beat the Turkish champions 1-0 at Old Trafford eleven days ago

The Reds' last visit to Turkey, for the group clash with Besiktas last September, ended in victory thanks to Paul Scholes' late winner. Sir Alex would certainly take a similar result on Tuesday night in Bursa.

ManUtd.com will bring you the travelling squad on Monday morning. You can also follow our 'Today in Bursa' blog throughout United's stay in Turkey.

Let's get the win needed to reach the 10pts mark and then we can give a run-out to some of the squad members who need more game time under their belt.

ps: We alongside RM, are the only teams who yet to concede in group stage so far
