And The First Signing Of The Summer Is…

 

The worst kept secret in football may well soon become reality. Owen Hargreaves should complete his transfer to Manchester United in the next few weeks and become Alex Ferguson’s first summmer signing of 2007.

The speculation has been rife for a number of months now that Hargreaves would move from Bayern Munich to the Premiership champions, and may well have done so before now if he hadn’t have broken his foot. However, all parties are keen and a fee has been agreed so here we go… Let 2007/8 commence!

Heartbreak At Wembley

 

Alas, this year the double was not to be. In the first FA Cup final at the new Wembley, Manchester United were beaten by a Chelsea goal from Didier Drogba deep into extra time, which handed Chelsea the cup double this year.

The match was a poor affair and not fitting for the first final back at its spiritual home, which lends itself to the argument that clubs are playing too many matches every season with not enough of a break.

The one bright spark was Wayne Rooney who ran his socks of for all 120 minutes.

There’s always next year lads!

The Day Of Reckoning

 

Well people, the day has finally arrived. We are within hours of the kick off against Chelsea at the new Wembley in the FA Cup Final. Time to look at doing the double methinks. The Old Trafford camp has been pretty quiet this week, which bodes well because the lat thing the players needed was a slanging match between  Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho.

 The preliminary team news is that Gary Neville and Luis Saha are out, as expected, but everyone else is fit to start.

Champions Pics!

 

Here is the picture I promised you yesterday when I told you that Manchester United were once again Premiership champions! It just makes you want to jump with joy!

It’s great to see Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, who are the unsung heroes of the team, lift the trophy. I’m going to be controversial and say that they have been more influential than Rooney and Ronaldo. Sure they scored the goals, but the team would not be haf the team it is without Giggs and Neville.

Unexpected Loss, But Silverwear!!!

Today saw Manchester United lift the Premiership title for the first time in four years, and about time too! It was an amazing sight at Old Trafford, but what went before it was slightly disappointing!

Manchester United were defeated by West Ham in their final game of the season at Olf Trafford. The game wasn’t without incident but West Ham played well and stayed up. Whether they deserved to or not is up for debate!

For pictures of the celebrations, check here tomorrow!

Ji Sung Park Injury Update

 

There are very few Manchester United players that have escaped the injury list this season and one of the newest was Ji Sung Park. He injured his knee against Blackburn on 31st March and underwent surgery in the last week of April. He is now expected to be on crutches until September and it will be at least November before her returns.

Although it seemed inocuous at the time, the Manchester United winger may have had to cut his career at Old Trafford short if he had not have undergone surgery. However, he is now on the mend! We all wish you a speedy recovery!

Setting Up The Cup Final

 

All signs now point to the FA cup final! Not only are Manchester United now Premiership champiosn, they still have to play Chelsea at least once before the end of the season - in the FA Cup final. Whn the two teams met on Wednesday, the result was a boring 0-0 draw. Whilst this was not fun for the fans, it reveals absolutely nothing about the way that the final will go next week. The anticipation is building… come on you reds!
