Man Utd Ready To Change Club Badge...

Manchester United are considering changing their club badge.

Chief executive Ed Woodward says he and co-owner Joel Glazer want to reintroduce the words’ football club’ to the Red Devil emblem.

The words were removed in 1998 in a commercially-motivated move which angered may fans.

Woodward said: ‘I didn’t like that change of badge. Joel (Glazer) didn’t like that change. We will look at that and have a think about that.

‘We are a football club, not a business.

‘I described it to our staff that we are a 135-year-old club and that’s what you have to remember. We are a football club, a club with a capital C.

Manchester United Replace Fans With TV Cameras At Old Trafford

Manchester United have evicted around 60 loyal season ticket holders from their seats at Old Trafford – in order to replace them with television cameras.

The supporters were told they would not be given their usual seats when they went to renew their season tickets ahead of the new season.

However, it wasn’t clear why until now, with United planning on replacing their seats in the East lower and Stretford End stands with cameras.

Old Trafford already boasts a huge number of camera spots all over the stadium, but United want more spaces for large 3D cameras – to beam matches all over the world in stunning accuracy.

So while the fans might not get to sit where they want, they’ll at least be able to take in the view from their favourite spot on television next term.

Manchester United Not Offering Wayne Rooney New Deal!!!

Manchester United say they are not planning to hand unsettled striker Wayne Rooney a new contract.

But manager David Moyes has again stressed that the England man, who has been linked with Chelsea and Paris St-Germain, is very much part of his plans for the upcoming season.

Rooney, who has had to leave United's pre-season tour with a hamstring injury, has two years left on his current contract but an extension is not on United's agenda.

Chief executive Ed Woodward said: "No contract renewals are being discussed. I am not sitting down with any player on an extension and there is no trigger date in the diary.

"Would we be afraid to run a contract down? Of course not."

Major role to play

However, Moyes still sees Rooney as a key figure at Old Trafford and said: "I think he's got a major role to play, because we need to get as many goals as we possibly can.

"I think Wayne can play up-top, he can play dropped in. If for any reason we had an injury to Robin (van Persie) we're going to need him and I want to be able to play the two of them.

"It's a chance for me to get Wayne right back to where he was. That's a challenge I want to take on.

"But I've also got to make sure we don't just concentrate on him. Manchester United isn't about Wayne Rooney.

"Manchester United is about the team, the club. What I won't allow is Wayne Rooney to become more important than the football club."

Sir Alex Ferguson To Retire At The End Of The Season!!!

Sir Alex Ferguson will step down as Manchester United manager at the end of the season after 26 years in charge.
The Scot, 71, has won 38 trophies since taking over from Ron Atkinson on 6 November 1986, including this season's Premier League title.
His haul includes 13 titles, two Champions League crowns, five FA Cups and four League Cups.
"The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about. It is the right time," Ferguson said.
"It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so.
"The quality of this league winning squad, and the balance of ages within it, bodes well for continued success at the highest level whilst the structure of the youth set-up will ensure that the long-term future of the club remains a bright one.

Champions United given guard of honour by Arsenal... but Van Persie's reception is not nearly as warm...

Arsenal's players today gave Premier League champions Manchester United a guard of honour to mark their impressive title victory.

There had been speculation the two clubs' status as rivals, as well as former captain Robin van Persie's summer transfer to United, would encourage the home side to resist continuing the long-standing tradition.

But after manager Arsene Wenger had revealed a desire to do so, his side produced the painful guard of honour and applauded champions United onto the pitch for today's match.

Manchester United Win Premiership Title, Claim 20th League Championship...

Josè Mourinho Faces Real Madrid Exit If He Loses To Manchester United

Jose Mourinho’s future at Real Madrid rests on the outcome of the Champions League clash against Manchester United, despite an extraordinary move by Florentino Pérez, the Spanish champions’ president, to reject claims of a player revolt against the Portuguese coach.

The former Chelsea manager is facing the end of his turbulent three-year reign at Real if United win the forthcoming last-16 tie, with assistant coach Aitor Karanka being viewed as a potential caretaker manager until the summer.

Pérez staged an unscheduled press conference in Madrid on Thursday to deny reports in the Spanish newspaper Marca, a publication with close links to Real, that senior players Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos had delivered an ultimatum to the club’s hierarchy insisting that there would be an exodus of star names at the end of the season should Mourinho remain in charge.

Van Persie and Kagawa let loose at Manchester United Christmas Bash...

It is a football ritual that has been honoured throughout the ages, but Manchester United appear to have taken 'making the new guy sing a stupid song' to the next level.
When Rio Ferdinand tweeted that Shinji Kagawa 'is one funny guy' during Manchester United's Christmas bash on Saturday evening, you knew that something pretty funny had gone on - and my word it did

The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder stepped up to the plate in the best way possible to perform a rather peculiar version of the annoyingly catch South Korean pop hit 'Gangnam Style'. It really does have to be seen to be believed.

Not to be outdone, fellow summer signing Robin van Persie stepped up to the mic to give his own version of 'Glory, glory Man United', which luckily for us was over not long after it begun.

Manchester United wins Manchester Derby...

Robin van Persie's injury-time winner sent Manchester United six points clear at the top of the Premier League after a stormy derby win against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Wayne Rooney's two first-half goals put the leaders in control against the reigning champions - but Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta put City level as the game entered its closing moments.

United were overjoyed at a result that gives them a stranglehold on the title race, with Rooney taking his tally to a record 10 derby goals. But it capped a miserable week for City after the conclusion of their abject Champions League campaign.

Van Persie's strike ended the Blues' unbeaten home Premier League run stretching back to a 2-1 defeat by Everton in December 2010.

Striker Robert Lewandowski heading to Man Utd!!

The Poland star has indicated to friends he has set his sights on the move from Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.

After rejecting overtures from United last summer, the German club have reluctantly accepted they are about to lose their leading marksman.

With his Dortmund deal running out at the end of next season, United hope the fee will be little more than the initial £12million they paid for his former team-mate Shinji Kagawa last summer.

Sir Alex Ferguson believes pairing 24-year-old Lewandowski with Robin van Persie — and Wayne Rooney operating just behind — would give him the most lethal attack in the Premier League.
