Manchester United Thread

[Bosnian]

This year I expect a really tight race since all three teams, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester have greast squads. I think Chelsea probably has the best team at this moment however. One thing is sure, Arsenal will not have as easy of a season as they did last year...

The shineeness of the goalie top makes it look like it is leather.

Its not bad though.

United hire fitness guru

Manchester United have hired top fitness coach Valter di Salvo to join Alex Ferguson’s Old Trafford backroom team.

The 40-year-old Italian, who worked with returning Red Devils assistant boss Carlos Queiroz at Real Madrid last season, was criticised by David Beckham for the England skipper’s lack of fitness during Euro 2004.

Beckham though appears to be in a minority when assessing di Salvo’s skills.

Di Salvo likes to use high-tech methods to measure fitness and will produce individual computerised programmes for every player.

The newcomer was at United’s Carrington training ground today and completes Ferguson’s coaching team for the new campaign, with Queiroz back alongside the long-serving Scot following his ill-fated year at the Bernabeu.

Meanwhile, Ferguson has confirmed he will provide a team to play in Stan Ternent’s testimonial on August 17.

The United boss revealed during the summer that he had agreed to supply the opposition for the benefit match his old friend was awarded by Burnley when he stood down as manager at Turf Moor at the end of the season.

However, the Red Devils side will be shorn of a number of key players because of international commitments during that week.

He's pretty useful, good player from what I saw...

what kind of player is Heinze? i have only watched a part of one of the Argentina matchs in Copa America (dont remember which one) and i dont really know what kind of player he is...

is Heinze fast? is he good at heading? and is he agile? is he dirty? (i mean does he always foul?) does he like to participate in the attack?

i want to know more about our new powerful defender

thanks!

This thread is filled with a bunch of hillbilly homos. The Arsenal club thread on the other hand has 3.....that's right, three fetching females. They are Enigma, Arsenalfc and the very ravishing and buxom Eng4worldcup.


I think I'm going to go play with them now as a matter of fact...

It is provisional and I hope Bielsa chooses other f*cking players to go to the Olympics. O'Shea and Fortune are injured, and we need Gabs as a left fullback.
