Man Utd vs Rangers: UCL Preview

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has no plans to take Rangers lightly in their Champions League Group C opener at Old Trafford.
Ferguson has stressed his former club must not be underestimated by his side, who have already thrown away winning positions twice this season.

”We don’t have frailties,” said the Scot. ”It has been a lack of concentration in our defending. People say this is a mismatch but they said that about Barcelona on Saturday night [Barca lost 2-0 at home to Hercules].

”Football throws up surprises. We are never going to forget Rangers’ history and this will be a tough game. I know Walter Smith personally and he has worked with me twice. I know how astute he is and how good a tactician he is. I can almost see that little brain working at the moment.”

Wayne Rooney is set to return to the United starting line-up after being left out of Ferguson’s matchday squad for Saturday’s 3-3 Premier League draw at Everton following lurid allegations over the striker’s personal life. Continue Reading >>

Football almost lost another life in Ajax’s Sno

Evander Sno almost lost his life after suffering cardiac arrest during Monday’s reserve game at Vitesse Arnhem, according to Ajax reserve team assistant Albert van der Dussen.

Sno, 23, fell to the ground 18 minutes after coming on as a half-time substitute and was treated on the pitch for more than 10 minutes and had to be revived by a defibrillator on three occasions before being taken to hospital.

“At first I thought he stumbled, but very quickly everyone realised there was something seriously wrong due to the foam around his mouth,” Van der Dussen told AD. Continue Reading >>

Devils got to taste their own medicine!

Saturday lunch time match between Everton and Manchester United made one of the famous headline, Manchester United was made to taste their own medicine of late goals following lapse of concentration toward the end of the match.

Everton scored twice in stoppage time to snatch a dramatic 3-3 draw at home to Manchester United, who left Wayne Rooney out of their squad after a week of allegations about his private life.

Rooney did not even travel to Goodison Park as manager Sir Alex Ferguson, on the occasion of his 700th Premier League match, claimed he wanted to protect the 24-year-old from abuse from the fans with whom he used to be a favourite.

The disruption appeared to affect his team-mates early on as they fell behind to a Steven Pienaar goal but Darren Fletcher, Nemanja Vidic and Dimitar Berbatov put United well ahead before the Toffees’ stunning late comeback through Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta.

Whether Rooney’s absence affected the overall result is open to debate but for the first 15 minutes, United found themselves under constant pressure.

Arteta’s sixth-minute free-kick clipped the top of the bar before the Spaniard had another shot deflected behind by Jonny Evans. Pienaar saw his shot from Arteta’s corner blocked and Leon Osman blazed over all in the same passage of play.

Ferguson was less than happy and was soon prowling his technical area barking orders at the players.

John O’Shea’s response was a blistering drive from the left angle of the penalty area which grazed the outside of Tim Howard’s left-hand post. Continue Reading >>

Rodwell on Devils’ radar?

Everton’s teenager Jack Rodwell is believe to be on Sir Alex tracking list. Boss Fergie is set to offer £10million plus out-of-favour Michael Carrick before the window closes later. While Everton are desparate to hold on to the under-21 ace but may find the deal too tempting.

Rodwell, 19, is a central midfielder who can also play at centre half and has been compared to a young Rio Ferdinand. United have been unsure whether to go for the player now or wait till the end of this campaign, by then his value will have rocketed when Rodwell add another season of experience under his belt.

Rodwell has been at Goodison since he was seven and became the club’s youngest player in Europe when he was 16. He made his Premier League debut in March 2008 and scored last season in their 3-1 home win over United.
