Park Ji-sung has silently achieved a feat that many cannot even think of - to play 200 games for
Manchester United. He completed the milestone when he was introduced as a substitute in United's
staggering comeback draw at Chelsea on last Sunday. The 30-year-old energetic midfielder who joined
Manchester United in 2005 from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven was considered a money-making venture by
many

Britan men's
By now all Manchester United fans would have known that we've agreed to sell Mame Biram Diouf to
Hannover 96. The question, I'm pondering over is Why? Diouf was signed from Molde FK in July 2009,
and after a 30-month stay in English football, he's moving to Germany. I find his transfer really
weird! During all this time, he has played lot of football, he has gained valuable experience and
made

Manchester United during their FA Cup fourth round match. These two teams have locked horns 16
times in the FA Cup in previous seasons. While United have nine of those meetings, Liverpool have
managed to win in only three.
I was surprised when I read in the morning about Scholes coming out of his retirement and rejoining
United as a player. That made me wonder whether Scholes is the new Henrik Larsson that Sir Alex is
trying to create to see-off an injury crisis at Old Trafford. If you remember, Sir Alex signed
Henrik Larsson on loan from January - March in 2007.
Manchester United scored 5 wonderful goals against a hapless Wigan Athletic to draw level on points
with leaders Manchester City on a busy afternoon of Boxing Day. Ji Sung Park opened the scoring in
the 8th minute before Berbatov made it 2-0 before the break. Conor Sammon was sent off for a wild
attack on Carrick's face.
Argentine playmaker Nicolas Gaitan is set to join Manchester United, hopefully next summer. He
currently plays for Portuguese side Benfica and has even admitted to willingly join the Red Devils.
Gaitan's signing is not official yet but the deal looks almost done. The only problem to sign him
is the €45 million release clause that is written into his contract, which United have refused to
meet.
Paul Scholes has paid tribute to the facilities at Carrington. He said, "Everything can be done
here that is needed to support a football team." Paul hailed Carrington while he was speaking about
the inner workings of the training complex during an exclusive MUTV programme - Inside Carrington.
He further said, "Having the Academy here is great and it's all geared towards a family feel and

Every year Manchester United organizes United For UNICEF gala dinner. Its a glittering annual event
which brings together famous faces from football, music and showbiz in support of the charity's

Manchester United have landed PSV starlet Andreas Pereira and he will be joining his new team in
January. The 15 year old Brazilian-born Belgium youth international was monitored by a host of
European clubs but the Red Devils got him from under the noses of their rivals. Andreas Pereira

Manchester United is considered one of the top European Football teams in the world but they are no
longer in first place in the Premier League and they are not the favorites to win the Champions
League. Is Manchester United now vulnerable in sports betting odds? Manchester United trails
Manchester City for first place in the Premier League but they host their rival this week so United
could
Manchester United haven't found a worthy replacement after the retirement of Paul Scholes. There
were lot of talks linking Wesley Sneijder with a move to Old Trafford during the summer, but they
didn't materialize. The Red Devils could have found their man in the form of Bruno Soriano who
plays in the Spanish La Liga for Villarreal.
Its never a surprise when Manchester United are linked with young talented players. The latest in
this list is Dutch player, Ricky van Wolfswinkel who currently plays for Sporting Lisbon. Sir
Alex's assistant Mike Phelan too admitted the club is keen on 22-year-old Dutchman. He moved to
Portugal this summer from Utecht and has netted six goals in last six games, which is impressive.
