Fans take pride in their soccer jersey, no matter the game, fans will wear the jersey that shows support for their current club, that was no different during the Real Madrid and DC United game on Sunday. The OTWT Tailgating Crew did our best to create a running list of the some of the jerseys that we saw in the crowd.

"Au revoir Cantona and Man United... come back when you've won 18" read the banner at Anfield all those years ago. Back then it appeared laughable that this rejuvenated United team, under the guidance of Alex Ferguson, could even dream of going on to win eighteen titles. But if we were ever to win eighteen, they certainly would have added another ten or twenty league titles to their collection.

It's perhaps inevitable in this day and age that footballers will not follow in the footsteps of their predecessors into the inevitable job opportunities that present themselves. Manager, Coach, Television pundit, Pub landlord, Priest and Horse trainer are just some of the roles that former players often either fell into, or chose to follow their career.

Some of you may have heard by now that there is a film due to be released on 12th June called 'Looking for Eric' and it is indeed, a story surrounding the ex-United legend, Eric 'collar up' Cantona.

I've actually seen a trailer for the film. Not because I've looked online I might add - because i went to the cinema recently and it was on there.

Giggs, Owen star as Man Utd rout Zhejiang Greentown
I can't help myself. I have to admit that I have been keenly following the pre-season tour exploits of the Red Devils. Central to my interest is the performance of Michael Owen. And he has surely not disappointed! From the moment he signed for United, I felt he had found the one of two clubs (the other being Arsenal) that could offer him the opportunity to rediscover himself.

Will there be more to come for United?

As far as title winners go, Manchester United's Class of 2009 have been one of the best. In cold, hard terms of consistency United have been absolutely incredible - 27 wins from 37 games, 87 points from 37 games and just 7 points being dropped at home belies a level of reliability unmatched since Mourinho's glory days in the mid-2000s.

At age 22, Zinedine Zidane was playing in the Intertoto Cup with Bordeaux. At that same age, Éric Cantona had just got a move from Auxerre to Marseille. Rivaldo had just moved from Corinthians to cross-town rivals Palmeiras in São Paulo.

With the money involved in today's game and globalized scouting networks, such players would already have been with one of the European giants before they had the chance to establish themselves in their local teams.

I have fought Dimitar Berbatov's corner since he joined Manchester United and came under criticism from our own fans as much as elsewhere. I saw enough in him to stick my neck out and acknowledge that whilst he wasn't scoring as much as we'd hoped, he was class and we needed to give him time. If you don't get Berbatov, you don't get football became somewhat of a catchphrase, feeling the need to repeatedly defend the guy.

A familiar face returns to Marseille.

Deschamps was part of the Bernard Tapie revolution of the late 80s and early 90s that saw L'OM dominate Ligue football culminating in their CL triumph over AC Milan in 1993. The squads became a virtual who's who of the international game.

He takes over Eric Gerets who resigned a week ago.

The topic of who the greatest Ferguson team was has come up recently, with some arguing that the 1994 Double winning side was the best. They didn't have any European success to back up their claim though, with Ferguson often criticised for not winning any many Champions League titles as he should have.

At last, the Winker has left the building. The self professed greatest player in the world has finally decided to join Florentino Perez's Galactico's part II. The silly season is well and truly here.

Are you glad to see the back of him? Will the Premier League miss his sensational free kicks, goals, dribbles & showboating, or will he be remembered for his diving, sulking and all round petulance.

Most United fans would love to see Cantona back at Old Trafford but may'be United need someone with a bit more experience in management when Fergie retires.

Well, well, well, well, well........well.

It looks like Ronaldo will be joining Kaka sooner rather than later. United have today accepted an astonishing £80 million bid from Real Madrid. (is he really £21 million better than the Brazilian??) Quite incredible.

It looked like initially we were going to have to endure the summer-long transfer saga again.

Best, Charlton, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, and now Owen. Yes Owen. Manchester United announced today that former Kop hero Michael Owen will wear the famed number 7 shirt. It may sound a little strange to have the former Anfield legend wear the shirt, but if you think about it might make total sense.

People say Nani could one day fill Ronaldo's shoes, but giving him the famed jersey at this point in his career might bring him undo pressure.

We continue to edge closer to United related news, but this was too difficult to pass up. When the King speaks we have to listen:

"I think that Raymond Domenech is the worst coach in French football since Louis XVI. If it was up to me, I'd put (Bordeaux coach) Laurent Blanc in charge of the France team," the former Manchester United hero continued.

I think there is little doubt that we would all love the opportunity to spend the Ronaldo war chest of money for Sir Alex. It would be a pleasure. We would all pick a David Silva here, maybe a David Villa there. Some would plump for precocious talent such as Alexi Sanchez, or Douglas Costa.
