Holy ****, looks more like Nani, can't wait to see how much of a difference it makes.

I just love the anticipated surge of Ando's talent to take over the EPL but as always we will surely be left down.......

Good to see Will Keane and Larnell Cole (or is it Cofie?) training with the first team. Keane looks so skinny though!

berba's contract has been extended by the year

never thought that wouldn't happen to be honest. Even if we are planning for next season without him, makes more sense to sign him up for the year and make some money in the summer.

What is interesting is whether we will option the extension on Pogba's contract - or just let him go if he does not want to sign a new one.

Do you reckon he will play against Blackburn?
I reckon you will score a sackful of goals and you will rest a good few players again, maybe Nani?

If Pogba wants to leave, which Im not convinced of the club should still extend his contract and try get a price for him, if rumors of multiple clubs being interested in him should he leave us then surely one will agree a fee to make sure they get first pop at him

Would be nice, only thing is that the QPR team doesn't strike me as having the best influences for a head the ball like Macheda.

I'd prefer him going to Wigan cause he'd still be around Manchester...easier to keep an eye on him as opposed to him being in London!

if kiko is to make it at united, he needs to get his ass in gear asap.

a spell at a prem club is a must, sending him out foreign just is a waste of time.

qpr would be good for him i am sure. not, to send diouf out also.

Hopefully a win, can't take it for granted. Bookies are certainly.

A city loss along the way somewhere soon would be good. We have massive games away from home to play yet.

Dying to see Cleverly back. Had such a bright start to the season. No point in rushing him though, he'll be back soon enough.

Hopefully quicker than Fergie is letting on. This is what he said:

Less encouraging was Sir Alex's assertion that Michael Owen and Tom Cleverley are "still nowhere near" returning to action, and he added that the latter has been sorely missed.

"Cleverley’s a massive loss," he said. "He, to my mind, is probably the best midfield player in Britain, potentially. He has fantastic promise, so it’s a loss to us."

Thats a balls. I thought he'd be back within the next 2-3 weeks. That makes it sound a lot longer. Even though he's sorely missed, our midfield isn't doing too bad at all, Jones and Carrick are solid there, but with the injuries, its tough.

Edit, since its past 12, might as well. Happy Birthday to Sir Alex Ferguson, 70 today. Hope we have many more great memories with him.

Maybe one of SAF's mind games. Let city think we're weak before the FA cup tie then let him lose? hopefully anyway. He has been a big loss over the doom and gloom period.

I can't believe it's taken the boys so long to get over the LOSS :mad: usually we bounce back from these things in impressive fashion but this one seems too have taken its toll on the boys more then usual. Thankfully it looks like its out of the system and reversed our fortunes and have managed too get level on points and cut the big goals difference.

The one nils were good but christ we played ****e for most of them and didn't inspire me with confidence but the last 3/4 games were good and the spirits have picked and im looking forward too the new year. GGMU Always!

Obviously the scientists are wrong about the secret to staying young . The great man has proven that abusing the ****e out of referees and the authorities in general is the way to stay young at heart. Long live our leader!!!!!!

theres 14 players missing who would be better than those on the bench.

Sir Alex - The best,
you conquered the rest,
You don't need to pose,
With United you rose,
You are our provider,
In January please don't buy Wesley Sneijder,
Instead buy Ozil,
The frog eyed looking weasel,
I hope you stay longer,
As we continue to grow stronger,
Your as clean as a white dove,
Sir Alex you hold our love.

We shouldn't be rotating our starting goalkeepers. It's absolutely ridiculous in both practise and theory, especially when one of them inspires no confidence at all. Lindegaard is clearly the far better keeper, pulling him and out of the team to make it look like we still have confidence in De Gea is retarded.

Patched up team or not, the way they let that game fizzle out having got back to 2-2 is inexcusable and baffling.
