Finally I have chance to see United LIVE! Wow!
Today I take half day leave to attend United training session in Bukit Jalil. This is wonderful. Jersey, camera and poster... all are ready. Hope can get my stars' signature. Get ready! Yeah!
Just like you are looking for a job when your contract expires, football star such as Michael Owen did the same in an effort to look for new employer. Daily Mail has unveiled his 32-page dossier which was distributed by his agent to football clubs across Europe. You can read it here.
Ben Foster has signed a four-year contract with United. This means the young goalkeeper will remain at Old Trafford until 2013. He is the hot candidate to replace Edwin Van der Sar who is going to retire after 2009/10 season.
Ben is famous for saving Jamie O'Hara's penalty in the Carling Cup final against Tottenham earlier this year. "I'm really happy to commit my future to the club. The team spirit here is fantastic and working alongside Edwin and Tomasz [Kuszczak] has been a great influence on my career," he said.
Meanwhile, Fergie was delighted with the contract extension. "We are delighted that Ben has signed a new four-year deal. Ben is seen as one of the best young goalkeepers in England and we genuinely see him as a successor to Edwin van der Sar."
Yes. Another young player set to join United. This is what we hope to see. We need more young blood. Gabriel Obertan, though I'm not really aware of his performance and even did not watch him playing, is going to sign with United.
"There is a very strong likelihood that the deal will go ahead. Manchester United want to sign him and, for our part, we would be delighted to see Gabriel playing for such a prestigious club. We will make the official announcement when the time is right." revealed Bordeaux's president Jean-Louis Triaud.

Now we have Antonio Valencia, Michael Owen and the coming Obertan. We need more top players joining our club. Next season would be another battlefield in Europe, with Real Madrid keep building its million dollar squad, as well as the invincible Barcelona. Move on, Fergie!
Congratulation Michael! The day has come. Though now you are not the predator as you were in Liverpool those days, I'm sure you can do better than that here. Fergie is always a better guy compared to Benitez (he didn't bring you back when you left Real Madrid). You'll have no regret to play under the old man, as long as you don't make him angry (just kidding Fergie!).
We hope to see you to be:
1. able to win a call from Fabio Capello.
2. score against Liverpool head to head.
3. revive England hope to win World Cup in South Africa with establishing partnership with Wayne Rooney, and
4. last but not least, extend your contract at Old Trafford, thus getting higher pay.
"Manchester United, you automatically think winners, you think trophies, you think the stadium, the massive fan base, but until you sign you don't really let yourself get carried away. There's so many top players here, obviously it's a very exciting time for me. Right throughout the squad they are obviously a fantastic team with fantastic players, that's why they've all won so much throughout their careers, and hopefully I can jump on the bandwagon, score a few goals, and help us to further success."
Welcome Michael!

I can only say this is a shock move. Fergie wants to reinforce attacking by signing Michael Owen from relegated Newcastle. Is this a wise decision?
After losing Karim Benzema to Real Madrid, together with Franck Ribery's preference over the Galacticos, United have few options for striker role despite having no problem to spend. Surprisingly, Fergie turn the spotlight to the former Liverpool and Real Madrid sriker. Fergie apparently gambles on the injury-prone striker, with hope tosee him stay injury-free and return to the form that made him a top striker in Europe back to 2001.
Joining United would be a chance for Owen to regain confidence as well as to return to Fabio Capello's England squad. He needs to prove his one-on-one ability to revive his career. Personally I like Owen much because of his goal scoring ability, and the quality of goals he scored. His hat-trick show in Munich was one of the best I would say.
Since Owen is joining on a free transfer, we should look forward for more big signings. At the same time, we should give Owen a chance to shine. Perhaps Fabio Capello would be happy to see him plays alongside Wayne Rooney. After all, I would like to see Owen in the team next season despite negative words from many people.
United finally completed the first signing of this summer as Wigan's Antonio Valencia finally signed a four-year deal with a fee reportedly to be around £16 million. Despite facing competition from Real Madrid, United were the winner to grab the Ecuadorian winger after losing their World Player of the Year to Real Madrid.
"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me. I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here. Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can't wait to get started."
Welcome Antonio!
On the other hand, United have confirmed that Real Madrid have formally completed Ronaldo's move by paying £80 million in lump sum. What a huge profit! Perhaps we should make another Ronaldo to break the record in future. Despite being a controversial figure in United, Ronaldo was hailed by Fergie as one of the greatest player in United history.
"Cristiano has been a marvellous player for Manchester United. His six years at Old Trafford have seen him develop into the best footballer in the world. His contribution has been a major factor in the club's success in that time and his talent, his ability to entertain and his infectious personality have enthralled fans the world over. Everyone here wishes him well in his future career."
Goodbye Cristiano!
