There were reports yesterday suggesting that
Man United defender
Rio Ferdinand will
be out for a few months. During Sir Alex Ferguson's pre-match press conference he doesn't seem to

The story linking Jose Mourinho with a move to Manchester United as manager one day continues to
rumble on. Mourinho has in the past hinted that he would like the job, and again this week, that he
sees his long term future in England.
It would seem unlikely that a return to Chelsea would be on the cards and, going on the assumption
he would only go to a top 4 club, unless there is new ownership at Arsenal then his style of play
wouldn't exactly be welcomed at the Emirates which leaves Man Utd or Liverpool.

Sir Alex Ferguson has recently been handed a two-game touchline
ban but he will be allowed to be in the dugout this Saturday. The Football Association (FA) has

week.
This means that Sir Alex will not be in the dugout for a Premier League game against Portsmouth and
the Carling Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur.

Man United captain
Gary Neville has said that only the most experienced and ‘elite'
referee's should take charge of the biggest games. I think it is fair to say that there have been
some high profile decision's that have gone against United but should ‘elite' referee's really
take charge of high profile games?

Man United defender
Rio Ferdinand hasn't had the best start to the season. He has
either been injured or he hasn't been in his best form.
Other rumours have been that one of Ferdinand's legs is shorter than the other, which is why he has
been suffering from back problems.

It doesn't take a genius to work out that Man Utd are not the team they were last year with the
only loss to the team being Cristiano Ronaldo. Wayne Rooney has been given much more of free role
and is playing better than he ever has but he can't do it alone. Just like Ronaldo needed Rooney in
the team Rooney, needs a Ronaldo and Antonio Valencia just isn't it.
