Two key players are going to leave. But we still have Rooney. I believe that Rooney is capable to step up and prove himself, as what he believes too. For the past couple of seasons, he was outshone by Ronaldo as he played out of position in a wide role to help accomodate Ronaldo's role.

This is what he told the paper:

"We've lost two key players and obviously I hope we can get a few players in. Between them Cristiano and Carlos scored a lot of goals for us last season and the season before, but I would like to think I'm capable of filling that gap. I've said before that, if I can play in my right position, I'm capable of doing that.

I want to play in the position where I feel I'm best. A lot of people think I'm best as a centre forward. To play in a Champions League final and to play week in, week out for Manchester United is a privilege and it's something I'm very lucky to be doing, but I don't think playing on the wing I can express myself as much as I like to."

Yes. Believe in yourself and you can make it, Mr. Rooney.

No worries. We are going to lose Cristiano Ronaldo, but we are not going to lose the support of United fans around the world. At least we have the great Pele showing his support to our team. He admits he used to support Liverpool but switch to United then.

"I have always liked English teams. In the 1970s ad 80s I was a Liverpool fan. I don't know why especially, perhaps because they were the top team back then. In the last 10 or 15 years I have enjoyed following Manchester United the most. They play the game the right way and, in Brazil, Manchester United are far and away the most popular team. The Premier League is the most exciting league to watch in the world, there's no doubt about that at all."

United are recently linked with plenty of names after the announcement of the sale of Ronaldo. All the big names like David Villa, Samuel Eto'o, Karim Benzema and Antonio Valencia are in the purchase list. But it seems Fergie forget to build up the defence. We rely heavily on the service of Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra.

If one of them are injured or suspended, we can't really find a good replacement for them. Jonny Evans is still lacking stability. John O'Shea is a good replacement, but it's impossible for him to play in all positions at the defence line. Perhaps we should spend money on at least two defenders, one centre back and one left back. Last season there are occasions where our defence malfunctioned due to growing fatigue. We definitely don't want to see the scene Fernando Torres outperforms Nemanja Vidic next season.

With the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo, United have big money in pocket this summer. Reports claim that United have new target in the front line, Sergio Aguero. Will Tevez help in this transfer?

But Atletico Madrid are not willing to lose this striker. Club president, Enrique Cerezo insists they are not going to sell the star player. Though the striker carries a price tag of around £50 million, United will have difficulties in signing the Argentine with the competition from Chelsea and Inter Milan. I personally feel that the price is too high for this player, though he has proved his scoring ability in La Liga. Perhaps keeping Tevez in the team is a better option than signing another Argentine with high price. But nothing can save the situation since Tevez has announced leaving the club.

There would be another story if the price tag changes to £35 million. As United need a great striker to partner with Wayne Rooney, Aguero would be the right person if the price is of that range. Let's wait and see what happens the next few weeks.

United has announced pre-order for new home kit for 2009/10 season today. The official launch will be on 1st July.

This is the last time United have the AIG logo on the shirt. From the image there is a black V-shape stripe featured on the shirt's chest, as well as a black round-neck collar. Except the V-shape stripe, there is not much difference with the previous kit they have been wearing for two seasons. The white shorts have a thick red stripe running down the outside.

A quote from a release issued on behalf of Nike:

"The new Manchester United home kit has been designed by Nike to recognise the clubs glorious history at Old Trafford in the ground’s centenary year and features several design cues that pay homage to the side that first played at the Theatre of Dreams,"

Pre-order is available at the official site. I am excited to see it available in Malaysia.

After announcing the record breaking transfer bid of £80 million for Cristiano Ronaldo last week, Real Madrid quickly put a buy-out clause of almost £170 millionin his contract. Wow! Which club would have the money to spend on him? Many think that this would be a waste of money. And the sum can be spent on many players, which would be more than enough to build another 'Galacticos'.

I would say that Real Madrid is not only a football club. It's a trading centre too. They spend on a superstar with a dollar, and will be able to generate a double return. So let's guess which team could spend that money. Barcelona? No. They have Lionel Messi who is comparable with, even better than Cristiano Ronaldo. Inter Milan? Don't think this diver could survive in Italy. Okay. Stop thinking that. Because all depend on his form in the coming 4 to 5 years. Am I right?
