Manchester United Fans Club

Sir Alex Ferguson is confident the future of football is in safe hands as long as players like Wayne Rooney are around.

The Manchester United striker is expected to face former club Everton at Old Trafford, knowing he will be subjected to another barrage of abuse from the visiting fans, just as he was at Liverpool last weekend.

Yet, Ferguson knows Rooney will respond in the same energetic manner as always, determined to answer his critics in the best way possible - on the pitch.

“Wayne has a wonderful heart for the game,” said the United manager.

“Every time the crowd roared at Liverpool last week, he got a free-kick given against him.

Luis Nani is convinced a Premier League and Champions League double is a possibility for the Red Devils this season. The £17million Portugal international is adapting to life following his summer arrival from Sporting Lisbon

Sir Alex Ferguson had the strongest squad ever at present that the 21 year-old did not even make the bench for Sunday’s win at Liverpool,
although he has been an effective performer when called upon and scored a hugely important winner against Tottenham earlier in the season.

Having been told by Ferguson he would not play regularly during his maiden campaign, Nani is content with his impact so far. (more…)

Manchester United has reached agreement with Petro Athletico of Luanda to sign Mateus Alberto Contreiras Goncalves – better known as “Manucho.”

The 24-year-old Angolan international striker, who has scored twice in 10 appearances for his country, has agreed personal terms and will join the Club in January on a 3-year agreement. An application for a work permit will be made in due course.

He was top goalscorer in the last two seasons of the GiraBola, finishing with 16 goals for Petro Luanda in 2006 and 15 goals this year. Manucho will be part of the Angolan squad for the African Nations Cup in January.

Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted by the new arrival, saying: “We have had Manucho here for a 3-week trial and have been impressed enough to offer him a 3-year contract.

“He is a tall, agile and quick forward and through contacts that Carlos [Queiroz] has was brought to our attention around six months ago.”
