The Boy Carrick
“He put in several impressive displays for the Spurs midfield. He was subsequently selected for England’s World Cup Squad and put in good performances at the finals. The summer of 2006 saw him moving to United with much expected of him. Only time will tell whether this young geordie will truly fill Keano’s boots.”
Last year this was said about Michael Carrick on this very site and I think that it is fair to say that he has delivered. Last season, Michael Carrick led the midfield valiantly and the fruits of his labour can be seen in the results of the Premiership. Hopefully they will lead on to European glory in the coming season!

12:30 am | Alex Ferguson - The Best Modern Manager
Sir Alex Ferguson has ben in charge of Manchester United since 1986. This spell is one of the longest in recent history as managers can generally be hired and fired within the space of a year or so these days. The amount of success he has had is unparalleled and deserves the title of best modern day manager.
Ferguson took over from Ron Atkinson in 1986 but his first few years were anything but easy. Poor spells made him a target for calls for his job from the fans. Undaunted, he continued in his role but had to wait until 1990 for success. His first trophy came in the form of the FA Cup. The first league title he was to win came in 1992/3 and was followed by many more. The trophy cabinet is indeed full with 8 Premiership titles (1992/93, 1993/94, 1995/96, 1996/97, 1998/99, 1999/00, 2000/01, 2002/03), 5 FA Cups (1993/94, 1995/96, 1998/99, 2003/04), 2 League Cups (1991/92, 2005/06), 5 Charity Shields (1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2003), 1 Champions League (1998/99) and 1 European Cup Winners Cup (1990/91).
This level of success has assured Ferguson of a place in history. However, it has been his attitude that has enabled him to survive over the years. No player is bigger than a club, and he has let go of numerous players who have believed themselves to be bigger than he is, Roy Keane and David Beckham are just two of the notable names there. He has stood firm where other managers have crumbled, and now he deserves his due!
Here is to Sir Alex Ferguson!

8:56 pm | Manchester United Transfer Talk
It has now been confirmed by none other than Sir Alex that the young duo of Phil Bardsley and Jonny Evans will be joining Sunderland on short-term loan after he was approached by former Red Roy Keane. Bardsley had earlier been loaned out to Rangers and came back with some good performances to his name and a stint now at Championship outfit should provide a sterner albeit a different test.
In other transfer-related news, Fergie has now officially denied rumours stating that the Glazers had put some some sort of a ‘cap’ on transfer spending at the club. The amount was believed to be in the region of 25 million quid. Must say, I would’ve been gutted to say the least if that one was true and now that Fergie has called it nonsense, fans all-around have breathed a huge sigh of relief.
United have been linked with Bayern midfielder Owen Hargreaves and Southampton full-back Bale in particular lately and it remains to be seen whether either or both of them will move to us in the coming days. Have to say, the move for Hargreaves looks very unlikely now that Bayern chairman himself has stated that he will not sell the englishman under any circumstances.
There is another interesting story doing the rounds today in the tabloids about the alleged spiralling of United’s overall debt in the coming years. An independent supporters’ group, who go by the name of MUST, have claimed that the Glazers have increased the Reds’ debt in the long-term which is unhealthy to say the least. If it indeed is true, it presents some worrying signs but one thing is for sure … the issue will get a lot more media attention.

11:44 pm | Manchester United Memorabilia
Time for us to review some more United memorabilia spread over the internet. This time, we will be turning our attention to collections elsewhere on the web having reviewed the commonly-visited resources of Yahoo! and eBay in our previous posts.
First up is the United legend, Roy Keane, figure. Rendered in a game action pose, the figure is about 6 inches tall according to the details provided over at their web site. A nice collection item for the kids certainly. Brought to you, courtesy of target.com.
Next up is the United Logo Poster with the words ‘Glory Glory Man United’! Quite an awesome addition for all United fans young and old.
Last, but not the least, is an official football from NIKE. Brought to you by soccer.com.
Needless to say, but these are really some of the must-haves for a United fan and it goes without saying that I already got them!
