Dong Fangzhou – The Man With No Starts

Who is Dong Fangzhou? Few Man United fans will have heard of him, let alone know that the 21 year old striker is tied to the club until 2010 thanks to a contract extension completed in January. He is one of the best kept secrets at Old Trafford.

Dong was signed almost three years ago from Dalian Shide, a Chinese club, before being loaned to feeder club Royal Antwerp. There he scored 36 goals in 61 appearences and really showed the footballing world what he can do. However, now he is back on English soil, complete with work permit, he has yet to play in the first team for Manchester United. It is doubtful that he will start with the likes of Larsson, Saha, Rooney and Smith in front of him on the team list, so what now? Watch this space for more information on the Chinaman.
