I Hate Man Utd

Manchester United have been one of the best teams in the Premier league so far this campaign, and their nine-point lead in the table is certainly justified. However, the manager Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out any sort of complacency with the team by pointing to the last season’s title race.

United almost had a similar advantage going into the final eight matches of the season. Hence, it was actually a much stronger position than they are in right now. However, they managed to lose the title on the final day of the season after an incredible collapse.

The Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has said that he wants to end his bad luck when it comes to injuries as soon as possible.

The defender only recently returned to first team action after spending several months on the injury table. He has not played for Manchester United since the end of last season, while also missing crucial matches and tournaments. He was not part of the Euro 2012 as well. A thigh injury has kept him out of action for this long, but he has made a successful return to the first-team and has so far made 12 appearances for the club.

The Reading manager Brian McDermott has said that he is extremely inspired by the person that is Sir Alex Ferguson.

Every season there appears to be speculation on the future of Nemanja Vidic and this term it’s no different, with several reports linking him with a move to Juventus. However, despite the constant speculation, Vidic’s agent remains defiant about his client’s future and says that there have been no negotiations with any club.

The Manchester United target Marouane Fellaini has said that he does not want to leave Everton at least for the next few seasons, according to Man Utd Football News.

Stoke city chairman Peter Coates has said that the club are trying to sign the former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Michael Owen, but the signing might take a little longer.

Brighton and Hove Albion have secured the signing of Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak. The 30-year-old Polish goalkeeper was recently released from Manchester United after his contract came to an end this season, according to the Man Utd news website.

Carlos Tevez has refused to apologise to Sir Alex Ferguson over his ill advised “RIP Fergie” sign which he held aloft at Manchester City’s Premier League victory parade.

City have already apologised on behalf of their striker but Tevez himself has distanced himself from the remarks including those attributed to him in the release from the Etihad.

Tevez accused Ferguson on having “said the worst about me” adding there is “no relationship at all” between the two.

Johnny Heitinga has urged Jack Rodwell to stay at Everton Football Club.

The England Under-21 international has emerged as one of the brightest talents this country has produced in years, and he is being tipped as a potential captain of the future.

Manchester United are said to be willing to pay as much as £25million for Rodwell, but his Toffees teammate, Heitinga, has urged him to remain at Goodison Park.

Wayne Rooney is out for the next four weeks because of “minor” ligament damage.

A club statement said: “We’re pleased to report that Wayne has not suffered a fracture (to his ankle). The scan revealed only minor ligament damage.”

It is not yet known how many games the striker will miss for United. He is expected to miss Saturday’s vital Premier League clash against Chelsea.
