Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

Everytime Pele makes prediction, its never right. So, I hope he doesn’t makes prediction about Manutd winning next season. But… when he talked about Manutd play the best football in the planet… its hard to ignore about it. He is right after all..

Football legend Pele has spoken of his love for English clubs and, in particular, the teams that have been witness to extended periods of great success, such as Liverpool and Manchester United.

He then went on to claim that the Premier League is the “most exciting league” in the world.

The Brazilian told Sport magazine, “I have always liked English teams.

“In the 1970s ad 80s I was a Liverpool fan. I don’t know why, perhaps because they were the top team back then. In the last ten or 15 years I have enjoyed following Manchester United the most.

“They play the game the right way and, in Brazil, Manchester United are far and away the most popular team.

“The Premier League is the most exciting league to watch in the world, there’s no doubt about that at all.”

One of the perks of being a blogger is getting special invites. Last 17th June I got the special invitations to a very stylish party at Club Quattro. The party was hosted by SMIRNOFF® to announce the launch of its limited edition promotional pack design that celebrates its partnership with Manchester United as the official spirits partner and official responsible drinking partner.

Guess what? I did not get to go. I had to work late that day and damn I missed the whole thing. They had whole lot of football fun including a series of foosball and football knock-out challenges for the guests, especially the football enthusiasts, to participate and win attractive SMIRNOFF® and Manchester United merchandises. Some of the guys were supposed to join me and they all complained about missing the chance to check out these babes. Haha!

These pictures I got from my other friend who went to the party. Actually, all of us still stand a chance to win great prizes including Manchester United Malaysia Tour match tickets, Manchester United Jerseys and Caps, laptops, MP3 Players, Mobile phones, and Digital Cameras! All we need to do is log on to www.thespiritofchampions.com or SMS the correct names of the four Manchester United players on the promotional pack, and share in maximum 25 words how they would celebrate with SMIRNOFF®. Besides that, if you opt to participate via SMS, you also stand the chance to win attractive weekly prizes.

It is official. One of leaked image about this kit is almost true..but I have to say that I don’t like it..but..I am still going to get one.

United’s new home kit for the 2009/10 campaign has been officially unveiled and you can now see it in all its glory in our special gallery on ManUtd.com.

The red kit, which can be pre-ordered online now, celebrates 100 years of Old Trafford with a large chevron across the chest, reflecting the design of the shirts worn by United when the stadium first opened during the 1909/10 season.

The back of the shirt has an engineered mesh, which is a series of small chevrons, a performance feature to offer the players even greater ventilation during games. Inside the black round-neck collar is a high quality woven label in red, white and black, while engineered into the side seam is a small label that reads ‘The Theatre of Dreams Since 1910.’

The shirt is made from Nike Dri-Fit fabric, which keeps the players drier, cooler and lighter by drawing sweat from the body to the fabric’s surface, while it’s three-dimensional construction gives more air space around the skin to reduce clinging.

The white shorts have a red stripe along the side, a red devil graphic on the back of the waist band, while the draw cords feature ‘MUFC’ on the tips. The black socks have a red chevron on the calf.

The players will don the kit for the first time during their pre-season tour of Asia next month. The squad fly out to the Far East on 16 July – the day the kit goes on sale and on which pre-orders will be delivered.

Wayne Rooney says it’s an honour to wear the shirt week in, week out and is looking forward to pulling on the latest design.

“It’s always exciting to see the new kit,” he told ManUtd.com. “It’s important that we like it and get used to it before the season starts [on tour]. I’m really excited about playing in it.”

Ji-sung Park echoed those sentiments, adding: “It always feels great to put the kit on and there is always a great meaning behind our kits. History is very important at this club and it’s something all the players are aware of.

“I really like the chevron feature – I like to think of it as ‘V’ for victory and hopefully we can win every game we play in the new kit.”
