Tonight against Birmingham City at Old Trafford will be Manutd first match towards retaining the Premier League title and creating a record 4 titles in a row!!..and also a record of 19th English League Champion!!

Its going to be Alex vs Alex!!
With Nani, Ben Foster and Wes Brown were back from injury…and Alex McLeish has several defenders missing Liam Ridgewell, Martin Taylor, Scott Dann, Giovanny Espinoza and David Murphy are all unavailable. Midfielder Lee Bowyer is suspended. Marcus Bent is sidelined by a hamstring problem.

I don’t think Manutd will have any problem to win tonight with at least 3 goals.

And last night…Sir Alex expect new star will arise in Manutd squad this season..

Losing Ronaldinho….United got Cristiano Ronaldo

Losing Gascoigne.. United got Ince & Keano

Losing Hirst & Shearer… United got Cantona

Losing Ince, Kanchelskies, Hughes… United got those famous “Fergie Fledging”

I hope he is right again!

Sir Alex Ferguson insists new heroes will emerge at Manchester United following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

“This club can produce players all the time and we will go on.

“We almost had Ronaldinho signed in 2003 and two months later we have bought Ronaldo.

“Before that we thought we had Paul Gascoigne but didn’t get him and we got Paul Ince and Roy Keane.

“We had a chance to get David Hirst and then Alan Shearer. Instead we got Eric Cantona. It happens that way.”

The difference this time is more like 1995 when Ince, Andrei Kanchelskis and Mark Hughes were allowed to leave during a single northern summer.

Ferguson’s entire tenure was questioned in some quarters, only for the famed ‘Class of 92′ to emerge and carry the Old Trafford outfit to even greater glory.

And once again, the United boss is looking to players within his own ranks to emerge.

“We are searching to improve ourselves but this time the improvement will come from within,” he said.

“We will miss Ronaldo. He was always a threat and his stats were fantastic, he is the best player in the world.

“But he was part of a good team. Everything you set out to do is about the team.

“We won’t forget what he did for us but we have players who can make the same impact.”

The most obvious examples are new boy Antonio Valencia and Ronaldo’s fellow Portugal international Nani.
