Man Utd Thread:

[slow corner back]

Nani has had a lot of chances at OT and has failed to take them. With Obertan and Tosic both challenging for the same position it appears Nani is starting to feel the heat and is angling for a move. If anyone were to offer over £10 million bite their hand off. Nani has been at OT fot 2 and a half years now, if he signed a four year contract he will not have long left so £10-15M seems unrealistic. Has he signed a further contract ot OT or is he too young for a Bosman?

He signed a 5 year contract apparently. Makes it a easier to get a bit of money out of him as he'll still have 2 years left on it next summer. Can't see him being sold before then, CL clubs won't want him at Christmas so you'd just be left with a few cut price offers.

JUVENTUS and AC Milan are set to battle it out for unhappy Manchester United ace Nani.
Both Italian giants are keeping tabs on the Portugal winger's situation after he launched a scathing attack on manager Alex Ferguson.

Nani, 22, claimed Fergie has mis-managed him.

Juve are keen on a January swoop and could even attempt a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season for around £15million.

Boss Ciro Ferrara wants a winger who is versatile and can play on either flank.

Milan are looking at an end-of- season deal for Nani for around the same fee to replace England star David Beckham once his six-month loan from LA Galaxy expires.

Nani has so far failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford since moving from Sporting Lisbon in June 2007.

Wouldn't know about £15million, but I reckon £10-12million would be realistic enough. The wee bollix will probably go on to be a world beater.

he must be a hell of a prospect but from what i have seen he is brutal, maybe he isnt cut out for the english gameand a spell in italy or even better Spain might suit him. I dont rate him at all at this stage and he has to go down as one of fergusons worst ever signing given the money spent on him.

You are obviously too young to remember Ralph Milne

I'm not, had the pleasure of seeing him in the flesh several times. Truly awful. He stood out as being poor even in a bad United side. In fairness to the fella I read an interview with him several years later where he said he couldn't believe his luck that he was playing for United

[Goats Do Shave]

I think the stats you're talking about showed that Wiley covered more ground in that Sunderland game than seven of Uniteds starting eleven.

Doesn't mean he was in the right positions! Anyone could do laps of a field!

But that's not what fergie was complaining about.

Ferguson handed Everton reprieve 


Sir Alex Ferguson will be in the dugout for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Everton on Saturday despite being hit with a two-match suspension.

United's boss was punished for comments on referee Alan Wiley's fitness after a 2-2 draw with Sunderland in October.

But the Football Association said that the ban does not start until 14 days after last week's disciplinary hearing.

Ferguson will sit in the stands at Portsmouth on 28 November and again for the Carling Cup tie with Tottenham.

So he is in the stand against bottom of the table Portsmouth and for a Carling cup match.

Shocking stuff

Official Team:

Van der Sar
Rafael Vidic Brown Evra
Valencia Fletcher Carrick Giggs
Rooney Owen

Subs:Kuszczak, De Laet, Anderson, Scholes, Welbeck, Obertan, Gibson.

Nani & berba don't even make the bench

also no Neville, Hargreaves, Ferdinand,Foster, Park, Fabio, O'Shea or Evans for one reason or another

still a strong looking team

[AFS]

Great to see the continued exclusion of that waster Nani, although his trip away with Portugal midweek might have something to do with it. Apparently he was shit for them too.

What's up with Evans? Probably feeling the effects of the disgraceful chest attack by that animal Drogba.
