i pray you guys will qualify and face barcelona in QF. show them how to play the beautiful game....english style

Tottenham vs Barcelona (Total warfare with all guns blazing)

Manchester United vs Real Madrid(tactical battle between 2 great minds)

The Marseille match is gonna be really tricky. We cant afford to concede at all. I really hope we get at least 1 goal by half time,even then it really wouldnt mean much as all they need is one goal too to qualify but we must really stifle them. I dont envy SAF who has to come up with the formation,tactical flow,and players for this huge game.

can afford to concede...just as long as we score one more then we concede then settle already

abit OT
SHEEP is this ur JOB?
SAUCE

can afford to concede...just as long as we score one more then we concede then settle already

It very dangerous for home side to concede in the 2nd leg; we Devils had suffered pain of away goal rule in the past... remember Bayer Leverkusen in 01-02 and last year vs. Bayern?

Manchester United have decided they want David de Gea to replace Edwin van der Sar as their
first choice goalkeeper.

The move for a 20-year-old will be seen as a huge gamble, but United scouts and coaching staff are convinced the Atletico Madrid star can handle the responsibility.

Sir Alex Ferguson has watched De Gea extensively over the past year and hopes a £15million deal can be finalised quickly, and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele is laying the groundwork for his arrival by taking Spanish lessons.

Van der Sar, 40, reiterated his intention to quit at the end of this season after starring in the FA Cup win over Arsenal on Saturday, but United hope the multi-lingual Dutchman will take up a coaching role and help smooth the transition for his successor and new No 2 Anders Lindegaard.

United have studied various candidates to replace Van der Sar, with Schalke's Manuel Neuer, Julio Cesar of Inter Milan and Ajax keeper Maarten Stekelenburg all coming under consideration. However, De Gea has similar - if not better - qualities plus age on his side. At 6ft 3½in he is very much part of
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque's plans, despite the presence of Iker Casillas and Liverpool's Pepe Reina.

United have studied various candidates to replace Van der Sar, with Schalke's Manuel Neuer, Julio Cesar of Inter Milan and Ajax keeper Maarten Stekelenburg all coming under consideration. However, De Gea has similar - if not better - qualities plus ageDespite a rather unconventional attempt by Wayne Rooney to persuade him to reconsider, the Dutchman is adamant this season will be his last.

'I was just speaking to him in the shower,' said Rooney, who headed United's second after Fabio da Silva had scored in the first half.

'The players are trying to persuade him to stay on but it's his decision. Despite his age, he's still the best keeper in the world.'

Although Van der Sar can look back on a glittering career, the FA Cup is a notable omission from his cv.

He said: 'Of course an FA Cup winner's medal means a lot, despite what I have won. I've played one final and lost a semifinal. It has got away all the time, so hopefully this can be the one.

'It will be nice to finish at my peak. I don't hate retirement - I'm looking forward to it. Everybody doubts themselves. Every writer doubts himself, every artist doubts himself and every footballer does. That is what certain players thrive on.'

Ferguson's team selection, with the Da Silva twins and Rooney starting in midfield, underlined the injury problems at Old Trafford as well as the manager's priorities.

Even after defeats by Chelsea and Liverpool, Ferguson refused to jeopardise his Champions League chances by risking Ryan Giggs or Paul Scholes from the start. Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher are doubtful to face Marseille, with Nani, Rio Ferdinand, Anderson and Michael Owen all out.

Park Ji-sung could return but United's problems in midfield were not helped by a late cameo appearance from Scholes.

He picked up his 10th booking of the season and will miss the next two matches at home to FA Cup semi-finalists Bolton and away to West Ham.

Kuszczak will leave in summer if he fails to get first team spot. Neuer, Reina or De gea...i wouldnt mind whoever joins us

De gea's only 20. Means if he turn to be a success, he'll guard the goal post for another 20 years ?

Most of our young keeper unable to shine at OT… only when they been loan or sold to other club … hmm.. too bad…  dont put too much hot on young keeper..~~

Still favor the mature ( old ) keeper like van der sar..

Maybe Reina?

reina is no better (or no worse) than gomes
