Former Manchester United and current Newcastle United midfielder Nicky Butt was in the Algarve this
week where he had his wedding to Shelley Barlow blessed in a low-key ceremony.
Conducted at the gorgeous botanical gardens of the Monte do Casal hotel, it was a small, elegant
gathering, with only around 30 hand-picked guests, including Roy Keane, Andy Cole and Phil Neville.
With the July 1st salary guarantee date looming just a week away, that is the question that we ask
about two players: Jose Carvallo and Franco Niell. Both were brought to this country in the
offseason that saw the additions of five new South American players. Three of those players
(Gallardo and los Gonzalos) have earned regular roles in the starting XI.
With United's Open Cup debut scheduled for tomorrow evening at the Maryland SoccerPlex, the
coaching staff has some really interesting roster decisions to make. Last year, United took a
Harrisburg Islanders squad way too lightly, and supposedly have learned their lesson. Even though
the Rochester Rhinos are currently struggling in USL, DC should take this opportunity to earn a
Champions League birth seriously.
Hey, remember that time earlier this month when I told you that United's senior roster appears set.
And that the final senior roster slot would go to Jamil Walker. And that Guy Kpene would remain on
the developmental roster. Yeah about that... Um...

end of last season that they didn't have to give up anything for.
