United hadapi laluan mudah UCL

United menghadapi laluan mudah dalam liga Champion League apabila di undi bersama:
1.Villareal - Sepanyol
2. Celtic - Scotland
3. Aalborg - Denmark

Semoga united berjaya sekali lagi dalam UCL musim baru..

Ronaldo pemain terbaik Eropah

Ronaldo dinobatkan sebagai pemain terbaik Eropah serta penyerang terbaik dalam anugerah UEFA di Monaco Perancis.Beliau menjadi pemain kedua united menerima anugerah itu selepas David Beckham melakukannya musim lepas.

Undian UEFA Champion League hari ini

Undian UEFA Champion League akan berlangsung hari ini. Kelab British diwakili lima wakilnya iaitu manutd, chelsea,liverpool,arsenal dan celtic.Blog ini akan cuba mengikuti dan menganalisis keputusan undian ini dari masa ke semasa...

Ronaldo sudah bosan

Ronaldo membayangkan beliau sudah bosan berada di bangku simpanan..Sabar...jangan gopoh..Pemain itu mengalami kecederaan dan menjalani pembedahan.Pemulihannya berjalan mengikut jadual dan minggu ini Ronny sudah dibenarkan berlari-lari nak...Awas..apabila Ronaldo sudah sembuh bala menanti Chelsea dan Liverpool..

Piala Super Cup

Manutd akan menentang Zenit St Petersburg Jumaat ini local time ( 2.45pg sabtu ).Perlawanan ini mempertemukan Juara UCL dengan Juara UEFA Cup musim lalu.Ia akan berlangsung di Monaco Perancis. United dijangka akan menurunkan Neville dan Hargreaves sebagai pemain utama untuk perlawanan tersebut.Saya menjangkakan perlawanan ini akan sengit memandangkan kedua-dua pasukan tersebut akan cuba membuktikan siapa lebih hebat di antara sang juara.Saya yakin united akan menang. Sama sama kita tunggu...

Manutd terdesak untuk dapatkan Berba

Manutd agak terdesak sekarang untuk mendapatkan Berbatov setelah Spurs bermain tarik tali terhadap penyerang tersebut.Price tag yang diletakkan adalah sekitar 30mil pound.Masalah striker menghantui united sejak akhir-akhir ini.Walaupun menang perlawanan keduanya 1-0,namun ketajaman serangan masih lagi menjadi masalah buat united dan buktinya Fletcher,seorang midfielder menyumbangkan gol buat united..harapan kita united akan kembali tajam selepas ini.

Manutd buat tawaran kedua untuk Berbatov

Sir Alex dilaporkan oleh media British telah membuat bidaan kedua sebanyak 25mil pound untuk mendapatkan Berbatov.Mungkinkah perpindahan beliau akan menjadi kenyataan?mari kita tunggu keputusannya nanti sebelum tirai perpindahan ditutup pada 31 Ogos nanti.

Misi untuk menang

Manutd perlu memenangi perlawanan menentang Pompey jam 3 pagi esok waktu Malaysia untuk meningkatkan tahap keyakinan pemainnya setelah Liverpool dan Chelsea memenangi perlawanan ke 2 masing-masing sebentar tadi.Kedua-dua pencabar United ini mencapai 2 kemenangan berturut-turut dalam 2 perlawanan liga.Manakala Manutd pula hanya mampu mengutip 1 mata.Pengurus United telah memanggil Rooney dan menasihatinya agar lebih tajam ketika di depan pintu gol lawan.Kecederaan Ronaldo yang menyumbatkan 42 gol musim lalu sedikit menjejaskan rentak United.Diharapkan peminat United akan menunggu perlawanan ini lewat pagi esok.Kepada pemilik blok syahidadam agar setia menanti perlawanan ini..

Berbatov berkelahi dengan Ramos

Berbatov dilapor berselisih faham dengan pengurusnya Ramos dan tidak diturunkan ketika Spurs tewas kepada Sunderland semalam.Ramos berpendapat Berbatov tidak lagi fokus terhadap kelab tersebut kerana beliau ingin melengkapkan perpindahannya ke Manutd secepat mungkin.Mungkinkah ini adalah tanda-tanda Berbatov sudah "out of favour"terhadap pengurusnya dan berkemungkinan Ferguson akan mengambil peluang tersebut untuk membawa beliau ke Old Trafford.

Six Manutd Player in the list of UEFA Award

Six Manutd Player likes Scholes,Ferdinand,Vidic,Van Der Sar,Ronaldo and Rooney have a chance to win UEFA award who likely to be announce soon.This contribution was a good news for United when they secured double winner last year..

Malaysian Manutd ( Kedah ) win with style

Kedah FC ( Malaysian Manutd ) trashed out with style to win Malaysian Cup after beat Selangor 3-2 in final last night.Selangor entered this game with the highest level of confident to lead 1-0 but Kedah did not panic and continued with the astonishing finish from Marlon,Nelson and Fadhli.The goal from Kedah came with really unbelievable and world class touch by Marlon.I think Nelson was scored a great goal when he dribbled a ball into Selangor penalty and fired an extraordinary finish.But important to know that this year Kedah make a big impact into Malaysian Football history when they make treble winner for the second consecutive year.Glory to Kedah player who played typically Manutd style.

Picture : New Muhaimin style was born..

Manutd terima khabar gembira

Manutd hari ini menerima khabar gembira apabila beberapa pemain utamanya dijangka kembali dalam perlawanan EPL Ahad ini menentang Pompey.Beberapa pemain yang dilaporkan turun menjalani latihan ialah Tevez,Giggs,Hargreaves,Ji Sung manakala Anderson dijangka kembali ke Manchester Ahad ini.Penjaring terbanyak liga musim lalu,Ronaldo juga turun berlatih dan dijangka proses pemulihannya lebih cepat dari jadual sebenar.Carrick juga sedang pulih dari kecederaan dan dijangka berehat 3 minggu.Petunjuk positif tersebut menggambarkan United akan melakukan misi terbaik mereka Ahad ini untuk memunjukkan jagoan mereka kepada pasukan bimbingan Big Phil itu...

Tunggu kejutan 48 jam akan datang

Sir Alex mengakui dalam sidang akhbar terbarunya tentang new signing musim ini akan menghadapi kemuncaknya tidak lama lagi.Menurut sumber Sir Alex merujuk kepada dua sasaran utamanya iaitu Berbatov dan Hunteelar.Harapan kita agar ia menjadi kenyataan tidak lama lagi.

New Manutd fan

My eldest kids was joined manutd fans during holiday at Gong Badak Keytee...Her father was the presiden of manutd fans in Bandar Seri Putra recently..good luck to Nadhratun Naim..

Nadhratun Naim posing great action behind water..

Brown yakin dengan rooney dan tevez

Wes Brown yakin dengan keupayaan Rooney dan Tevez untuk menggempur kubu lawan musim ini setelah menghadapi permulaan yang lembab akibat seri dengan Newcastle.Rooney menghadapi masalah kecergasan dan penyudahnya yang agak tumpul tetapi Tevez agak hebat ketika perlawanan sumbangsih dahulu tetapi masih belum menemui sentuhan gol.Walaubagaimanapun perjuangan masih baru dan United masih ada baki 37 perlawanan untuk diharungi...

Silvestre ucap goodbye to manutd

Mikael Silvestre mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada manutd setelah melengkapkan perpindahan ke Arsenal semalam. Beliau yang menyertai united sejak 1999 telah membuat 361 penampilan terhadap united dan telah mengecap 10 kejuaraan sejak bersama united.Fergie mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Silvestre atas khidmatnya yang hebat di united.Beliau mengambil keputusan meninggalkan united kerana tidak mendapat tempat dalam kesebelasan utama united sejak akhir-akhir ini dan sentiasa dibayangi oleh rakan senegara Patrice Evra..Apapun selamat berjuang untuk Silvestre..

terpulang kepada anda untuk mempercayainya atau tidak...

Manutd lambat panas dikala Chelsea mengganas..

Saya baru pulang dari Keytee dan tidak sempat update blog selama 2 hari..dlm kesibukan saya menghadiri majlis pertunangan adik ipar saya,sempat juga saya menonton match pertama manutd di kedai mamak di Gong Badak keytee.Keputusannya cukup mengecewakan saya sebagai seorang fanatik manutd.Manutd menguasai perlawanan dan mempunyai beberapa peluang menarik tetapi penyudahan yang tumpul menyebabkan united hanya sekadar meraih satu mata sedangkan Chelsea pula sudah melaungkan amaran betapa mereka akan cuba membaham united dengan lahapnya.Saya yakin Fergie sudah menyedari kelemahan serangan ini tetapi beliau masih lagi berusaha untuk membawa masuk striker baru.Lantas saya cuba menjengok beberapa akhbar di UK.Rata-rata laporan di sana menyatakan perpindahan Berbatov memasuki fasa yang mendebarkan lantaran united berkeras tidak mahu menaikkan yuran perpindahan.Walaupun united dianggap kelab terkaya tetapi pemiliknya masih berhutang untuk membeli kelab tersebut suatu ketika dahulu.Laporan juga menyebut Fergie sudah pun beralih kepada Hunteelar dari Ajax namun perkembangan setakat ini masih belum menunjukkan tanda-tanda positif.Walaupun begitu Fergie tetap positif menjelang pertemuan dengan Pompey minggu hadapan.Yang pasti Tevez akan kembali berpasangan dengan Rooney yang masih lagi belum menemui ketajaman penyudahnya.Anda tentu tertanya-tanya di mana Tevez ketika pertemuan pertama united.Khabarnya Tevez pulang ke tanahairnya menziarahi pakciknya yang meninggal dunia di sana.Sesuatu yang positif dari perlawanan tersebut adalah penonjolan Fletcher yang memukau peminatnya serta kemunculan Da Silva telah memberi impak yang positif walaupun beraksi dalam tempoh yang singkat.Saya fikir Da Silva mampu menyerlah jika dimasukkan lebih awal.Possebon masih lagi kurang pengalaman dengan aksi liga EPL.Apapun saya harap united mampu bangkit dalam perlawanan seterusnya dan harapan kita striker baru dapat dibeli sebelum penghujung Ogos ini...

Edwin Van Der Sar news

Edwin van der Sar says he will make a decision on his United future at the end of the year.The 37-year-old stopper, United's shoot-out hero in last season's Champions League final, joined from Fulham in 2005, but is out of contract next summer.Van der Sar recently retired from international football following Holland's quarter-final exit from Euro 2008 in a bid to prolong his club career.The Dutchman has not ruled out playing beyond the new season, but believes waiting until December will allow him to properly assess all the factors involved."I do not know [if it is my final year]. I look at it from year to year," he told Voetbal International."If everyone is happy, okay. But if you are faced with injuries and you miss long periods, then you have a different outlook."I could play a very steady season and do well or the club might no longer be satisfied."In December I will look to see how things are - that's a good time to decide."

Sisipan Jumaat.Manchester United to clinch £28m super signing by FRIDAY: What a strike force!

Well according to this report, the long drawn-out saga involving Manchester United’s chase for this Tottenham man will be over before the week is out!
Tottenham striker Berbatov on brink of Manchester United transfer by the end of the weekManchester United are closing in on a deal that should finally see Dimitar Berbatov leave Tottenham for around £28million.The striker has become increasingly desperate to move to Old Trafford and is expected to get his wish.Tottenham reported United to the Premier League over their pursuit of the Bulgarian international last month, but that won’t prevent the transfer from going ahead.Spurs are believed to be close to signing an additional striker and that is why they are now ready to let him go, although the club are determined to get the best possible price for Berbatov.They have been pursuing Zenit St Petersburg forward Andrei Arshavin and Spartak Moscow star Roman Pavlyuchenko, and head coach Juande Ramos still has a large transfer fund. (Telegraph)
The Charity Shield performance against Portsmouth may have spurred Sir Alex Ferguson into action after they failed to break down the Pompey defence, and now it appears the United boss is willing to meet the £28m valuation for the Bulgarian. Wayne Rooney is supposedly fit for the weekend encounter against Newcastle and it will be interesting to see how the club can accommodate Berbatov as well as the current front two at Old Trafford?
Dimitar has made it clear for some time that he wants out of White Hart Lane, and his sulky behaviour has at times been cringeworthy to watch, but Spurs Ramos is already planning a replacement which could come in the form of either of the two Russians mentioned in this source. Do Man United fans think their team can secure even more silverware than last term?

Manchester United plan to seal £60m double raid in DAYS: Can Sir Alex complete this megadeal?

Sir Alex Ferguson has some big spending plans which, according to this report, will come to fruition before this weekend!
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson wants to sign David Villa and either Dimitar Berbatov or Thierry Henry before the start of the season. (Manchester Evening News,)
Old Trafford’s head honcho really wants to add even more firepower to his already-impressive line-up. If Fergie did indeed pick up two of this trio, then it would scare the life out of the rest of the Premier League. It’s well documented that Sir Alex likes to have a good quartet of strikers and he seems to have forgotten all about Saha (understandably) and may not give Fraizer Campbell much more than a few sub appearances and a Carling Cup run, so I guess he is after two to go with Rooney and Tevez.
However, would any of the three players quoted in the source be happy to play second fiddle? I think not. Do United fans think that their boss should use funds to help fill other positions rather than in attack?

Catatan tengahari..Owen to miss Old Trafford opener

As Manchester United moved for Dimitar Berbatov, there was increasing belief on Tyneside that Michael Owen will not be fit for Sunday's season opener at Old Trafford.
At a Newcastle open training session at St James' Park yesterday morning, Owen merely jogged around the pitch as he recovers from a calf strain and, having not kicked a ball in pre-season, is almost certainly out of Sunday's match.
Obafemi Martins was also missing yesterday -- he has been granted compassionate leave to attend his mother's funeral in Nigeria -- and it is unknown if he will be togging out in Old Trafford.
Mark Viduka is out due to injury and Shola Ameobi is said to be in talks with Ipswich Town, pending a transfer to the Championship. That leaves teenager Andy Carroll, who is unfit, and Alan Smith, who has not yet scored a competitive goal for Newcastle, one year on from his £6m signing from Manchester United.
As of yesterday afternoon, Jonas Gutierrez, Kevin Keegan's signing from Real Mallorca, had still not received international clearance from FIFA, so there is concern about his participation -- and Keegan will have to deal with an increased bid of £8m from Aston Villa for James Milner.
Gutierrez's compatriot Fabricio Coloccini did not train yesterday but at least his Premier League registration is expected through before tomorrow, meaning the £9.1m defender from Deportivo La Coruna should be in line for a debut.
But with seven spaces on the substitutes' bench this season, Newcastle may be struggling to fill them all with recognisable first-team players.
The Magpies are hoping to sign Tiago, the Portugal midfield player, from Juventus. An agreement in principle has been reached between the clubs for the player to leave Turin on a season's loan, with an option to complete a permanent £10m transfer next summer.
Tiago, who played for Chelsea and has been courted by Tottenham Hotspur, has been a disappointment in Italy after his £10m transfer from Lyon last year.

Ferguson anggap remeh Scolari

Chelsea bakal menjadi juara Premier League karena faktor pengalaman Luiz Felipe Scolari? Omong kosong. Pelatih Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson tidak terima.
Sebagai peraih gelar Liga Champions dan Premier League musim lalu, Fergie panas membaca prediksi dini media Inggris yang menjagokan The Blues berdasar rekam jejak pengalaman melatih Big Phil. Kalau cuma berpatokan pada pengalaman melatih, dia mengaku tidak kalah kelas dengan pelatih asal Brasil itu.
“Saya baca Scolari lebih berpengalaman dari saya. Apa yang saya lakukan dalam 34 tahun ini? Saya mungkin ketinggalan sesuatu atau tertidur di mana,” ketus Fergie.“Mereka mengatakan Chelsea bakal juara berbekal pengalaman Scolari. Saya tidak paham kenapa? Saya memiliki pasukan yang sama seperti musim lalu dan saya harus yakin kemampuan skuad ini tidak akan menurun. Saya tidak melihat hal itu (Chelsea juara) bakal terjadi,” ungkapnya lagi.
“Saya percaya tim ini (Man Utd) bisa mempertahankan gelarnya,” pungkas dia dilansir Sporting Life, Sabtu (9/8/2008).

Manutd bakal mengganas lagi..

Saya rasa Manutd akan mengganas lagi musim baru ni..Ini bukan cakap kosong tetapi berdasarkan research saya tentang kebolehan dan semangat yang meluap-luap pemainnya yang dahagakan kejayaan.....amaran awal kepada Wenger, Benitez dan Felipe Scolari...

Tendangan bebas Beckham

Masih ingatkah lagi anda dengan kehebatan sepakan free kick Beckham? Saya masih merindui sepakan itu di Manutd. Setakat ini tiada pemain yang mampu menandingi Beckham di United.Ronaldo jarang-jarang melakukannya musim lepas. Namun diharapkan Hargreaves mampu melakukannya musim ini memandangkan beliau mempunyai kualiti tersebut setakat ini. Teves juga mampu tetapi tidak sama dengan apa yang dimiliki Beckham..saya percaya anda juga begitu...

Catatan tengah malam

Sejak akhir-akhir ini akhbar di UK sibuk memaparkan tentang perpindahan Berbatov ke MU tetapi setakat ini belum ada pengumuman rasmi tentang Berbatov di laman web MU.Pencarian striker baru untuk MU sangat penting memandangkan pilihan sedia ada sangat terhad dan pemain muda pula kurang pengalaman bermain di pentas tertinggi.Bagi penulis Berbatov memiliki ciri-ciri striker yang sesuai di EPL.Fizikalnya yang mantap,skil yang tinggi,kebolehan menjaringkan gol dari sudut yang sukar dan bijak menghidu peluang di depan pintu gol.Ia mengingatkan penulis tentang kehebatan Nistelrooy ketika di MU dahulu.Penulis juga berpendapat Sir Alex perlu menambah seorang lagi striker baru disamping Berbatov iaitu Klass Van Hunteelar dari Ajax.Beliau sangat mantap, mirip Nistelrooy,masih muda dan bertenaga.Jika ia menjadi realiti, tiada siapa yang mampu menyekat MU musim ini.Jauh sekali Chelsea dan Arsenal yang masih terkial-kial mencari rentak dan sering bertukar pengurus. MU bertuah kerana memiliki Sir Alex yang sangat bijak dalam pengurusan MU, cumanya beliau perlu mencari asisstant manager dengan segera. Calon yang layak dirasakan waktu ini adalah ......akan diulas sedikit masa lagi..salam hormat dari Hj Shubki..

Perlawanan rasmi EPL 2008/2009

Perlawanan pertama manutd adalah pada 17.8.08 antara Manchester United menentang Newcastle United di Old Trafford Stadium.Saya menjangkakan perlawanan tersebut menarik memandangkan manutd akan menurunkan striker baru mereka yang masih lagi misteri.Saya mungkin terlepas peluang menonton perlawanan tersebut memandangkan saya akan menghadiri majlis pertunangan adik ipar saya, Mohd Zulhelmey dengan pilihan hatinya Badriah Kamaruzaman di Kuala Terengganu.Walaubagaimanapun saya akan cuba memecut pulang selepas acara tersebut secepat mungkin.Isteri saya mungkin tidak setuju jika saya pulang awal kerana ini akan menyebabkan beliau kempunan untuk jalan-jalan cari makan,tapi saya tiada pilihan...saya akan menjadi tidak ketahuan hala jika tidak dapat menonton manutd secara live..penyakit ini telah saya hidapi sejak 1999..Namun saya berharap rakan-rakan manutd saya terutama syahid adam dan nazmi IPTAR akan membuat posting live malam tersebut.Saya menjangkakan Manutd akan menang 3-0...insyaallah.salam hormat dari Hj Shubki...

Community Shields- Player Rating

Manchester United dominated for ninety minutes against Portsmouth but left the Red masses frustrated as they failed to convert a series of excellent chances. The dominance, luckily, continued with the spot-kicks that followed as the Red Devils retained the Community Shield. ManUtdWeb rates the players following the penalty shoot-out win over Harry Redknapp’s F.A Cup winners.
document.write('');



Edwin van der Sar - The Dutchman was something of a pedestrian throughout the game. Faultless when called into action and saved one spot-kick with his leg but VDS won't have had many quieter afternoons. 7/10.
Gary Neville - Making his first start in seventeen months, few were expecting great things from Nev. The skipper completed 66 minutes and made some neat passes but was clearly lacking pace and needs more time to find his fitness. 5/10.
Rio Ferdinand - Another player who wasn't called into action all that often. However, Rio kept Pompey's frontline quiet and looks set to continue a formidable defensive partnership with Vidic. 7/10.
Nemanja Vidic - As above. The hard-hitting Serb received a great reception from United's following and responded with a confident display at centre-half. He dealt with more or less everything thrown at him.
Patrice Evra - A lively display from the Frenchman who was keen to attack the ball down the left flank. A few sloppy touches but Evra will be confident of another good season. 6/10
Darren Fletcher - missed a glorious open-goal opportunity moments before the interval but produced a tireless display. The Scot is lacking confidence but worked hard and sent a deft chip against the crossbar in the second-half. 6/10.
Paul Scholes - The midfielder played very deep which probably contributed to United's lack of spark in attack. At times, he made some excellent, creative passes but had a largely quiet afternoon. 6/10.
John O'Shea - Sheasy rarely looks comfortable in centre-midfield and he wasn't heavily involved on Sunday afternoon before coming off after 66 minutes. However, with United dominating throughout, the Irishman didn't need to do a lot more. 5/10.
Nani - More cynical United fans criticised the winger as he wasted chances to create goalscoring opportunities for United. However, Nani also proved the Reds' most dangerous asset and looked the most ambitious player on the park. The jury is still out. 7/10.
Ryan Giggs - Making his 760th appearance for United, the 34-year-old produced a couple of darting runs which terrified Pompey and he took his penalty well - but tired legs slowed him down as the game rumbled towards a stalemate. 6/10.
Carlos Tevez - After a cracking pre-season, the powerhouse striker looks raring to go. He was United's busiest player and came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock on a number of occasions. If he scores against the Barcodes, he'll be brimming with confidence. 8/10. MAN OF THE MATCH.
Substitutes:
Wesley Brown - Replaced Neville during the second-half and will be desperate to make the right-back spot his own. Brown had a quiet spell on the pitch as the Reds controlled the latter stages. 6/10.
Michael Carrick - Took his penalty well and strung some nice passing moves together during a cameo 24-minute appearance. 6/10.
Fraizier Campbell - A player with bags of potential, the 20-year-old should have been introduced earlier-on. Showed some great skills to create a super chance for himself and looked delighted to get his hands on the Shield. 6/10.

Big things expected from Nani

Sir Alex Ferguson believes United fans will witness increasingly mature performances from Nani this season once he has completed the remainder of his three-game domestic ban.The Portuguese winger was dismissed for head-butting Lucas Neill in retaliation for a nasty challenge by the Australian in the penultimate league game of last season against West Ham.Nani was forced to sit out the last-day trip to Wigan back in May and will miss United's next two league matches against Newcastle and Portsmouth.However, when he does return to action, Sir Alex is expecting big things from the 21-year-old."Nani has gone through the same process as all the young players and you are looking for that jump up in performance level," explained the United boss.“His maturity should be better as well, which is important. He is a very young 21. That immaturity showed itself against West Ham at the end of the season. That has cost us because he is missing for the first two games.“But when he develops that he will be an outstanding talent. He has courage and speed, can play with both feet and does not melt in big atmospheres.”

Manutd set to land Berbatov with 28mil bid

Manchester United are expected to seal the signing of unsettled Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov for £28 million in the next 24 hours, which would be a powerful retort to Chelsea captain John Terry's suggestion that Sir Alex Ferguson's side had "peaked".

It is understood that the Premier League and European champions have already tabled a bid of £23m for Berbatov while Tottenham have been holding out for £30m, but an offer of £28m is likely to swing the deal. Tottenham refused to comment on the future of the Bulgarian, who had returned to training at the club having expressed his desire to move to Old Trafford.
United's approach was stepped up after they were rebuffed in their attempts to capture Spain star David Silva. Julio Llorente, the striker's agent, disclosed that a bid had been turned down by Valencia. The European champions are offering Berbatov a deal worth more than £80,000 per week as the 27-year-old seeks to leave Tottenham. Despite guaranteeing Uefa Cup football this season through their Carling Cup triumph, Spurs could manage only an 11th-place Premier League finish. Berbatov, who has scored 46 goals in his two years at Tottenham, covets a chance in the Champions League.
His signing would send out a strong message to United's rivals. Terry claimed that while his club could "raise the bar", United did not have another level to reach. Describing last season's two-point gap, Terry said at the Premier League launch: "I think Sir Alex realises we weren't too far away from them at the very top of their game. I don't think they've got another level to go to."

Striker option for UNITED

Spain aces...

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson wants to land Valencia's Euro 2008 star David Silva in a shock swoop.
The Old Trafford club made their move last week when a £20million offer was knocked back by the cash-strapped Spanish club.
But Fergie is not taking no for an answer and is ready to improve his bid over the next 48 hours, especially if Spurs insist they will not accept a cut-price fee for Dimitar Berbatov.
The left-sided Silva was a key member of Luis Aragones's European champions although he is best remembered in this country for the 35-yard stunner he smashed past Chelsea keeper Petr Cech in the Champions League quarter-final at Stamford Bridge last year. Silva is more of an attacking midfielder than an out-and-out striker.
But Ferguson believes veteran Ryan Giggs is now only really able to operate through the middle, rather than out wide. Valencia are in financial chaos after the collapse of takeover talks.
But they insist they do not want to sell either Silva or team-mate David Villa.
