While talking about Bebe..he rated him above Nani.

He will not be as good as Ronaldo but will be better than Nani. Somewhere in between. But he will be humble and he will learn. He will be like a little boy with Ferguson. He will just wait for the orders. Then, one day, he will explode on the field.’

If you would like to read more about the incredible rise of a lost street kid who is now playing with Manchester United – Bebe. You can read here. A very nice article!!

After much debate, crocked midfielder Owen Hargreaves has been included in the 24-man Premier League squad.

New rules require all Premiership clubs to register a maximum of 25 players following the close of the transfer window between now and the re-opening of the transfer window in January.
Players who are under 21 at the turn of 2011 can play without being named in the squads.
Eight of the 25 need to be ‘homegrown’, which means they must have been trained in England or Wales for three seasons before they turned 21.
Changes to the squads outside of the transfer windows can only be made in exceptional circumstances, such as when a move made be allowed because of a goalkeeping crisis.

This is not the first time United has been linked with Van der Vaart. When he is still with Ajax, United were hot favorite to sign him but as always.. Whoever United want…Real will also want!! And…normally.. they get it!

Then, Sir Alex needs to find new players and end up with the trophy but not Real Madrid. Haha!.

With the arrival of Ozil, Van der Vaart will be in trouble. Even without Ozil, he already had a difficult time to break into the squad.
That is why he chooses to issue Manchester United ‘come and get me’ plea…

Sir Alex Ferguson is understood to have made enquiries about the Dutch midfielder, who is one of four Galacticos to have been put up for sale by the Spanish club.

Van der Vaart, 27, said: “I could never play for another club in Spain and the truth is that if you are leaving Real Madrid, there is only one club you can join that is not a step down – and that’s Manchester United.

“They are a huge club and if the reported interest they have in me turns out to be true, then I would really have to sit down and listen.

“If Manchester United could offer me first-team football with the situation as it is at Madrid, it would be very hard to turn down. Alex Ferguson is a great coach and I would never think about joining a team where I didn’t believe I could win things, so all of a sudden that limits your choices.

“At Manchester United you know success is likely and that’s a big factor for me at this stage of my career.

“If [Real boss] Jose Mourinho makes it clear I won’t play much, I see my future in English football.”

His best achievement maybe represented Portugal in Homeless World Cup!!.
Then, United made a shock £7.4million move which activated the release clause in his contract after Sir Alex Ferguson agreed with his former Manchester United assistant coach and current Portugal manager Carlos Queiroz recommendation.

We are waiting for Ozil..but we got Bebe! Some said he is our 8th striker this season…but some also said..he is actually an attacking midfielder. But..Sir Alex Ferguson said that he is a winger!!.

He is 20 years old and his height is 6ft 2in. By watching below video, he looks like a very straight forward player and very fast too. Its hard to find the player as tall as Bebe can run that fast with a ball.

From living on the streets, to growing up in a shelter and playing within the organization that puts together Portugal’s Homeless World Cup team and finally, signing with one of the biggest clubs in the world at the age of 20. Surely Disney is already scheduling a release date for his biopic. Hahah..

And..and…and..the best quote about this signing from our fan..

” We got Mame, Nani, Bebe and now we need Dade “

Sir Alex’s men were by far the better side in an entertaining first half, while Chelsea edged a slower-paced second 45 minutes. But the quality of United’s finishing decided it. Valencia’s beautifully-crafted first-half effort and Berbatov’s lofted strike came either side of Hernandez’s comically deflected effort to secure a 14th Shield triumph.

Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) on Saturday kicked off its five-year partnership programme with Manchester United by officially making MUTV, the official TV Channel for Manchester United, available in Malaysia.
The partnership enables TM to exercise various licensing rights, intellectual property (IP) and dealership rights to produce and distribute selected merchandises bearing the Manchester United crest and team images.

But the most interesting aspect of TM’s partnership with the football giants is that it has made it possible for MU fans and TM customers in Malaysia to get access to the long awaited rich football content on Manchester United such as latest news, statistics and much more — with the arrival of MUTV.  

“MUTV will be available on TM’s IPTV service — HyppTV, whereas MUTV Online will be accessible through its broadband TV portal, Hypp.TV (http://www.hypp.tv/manutd).

This ground breaking partnership will bring the action of Manchester United direct to the more than 4.2 million fans of the club in Malaysia. Streaming on broadband connection powered by TM, this is indeed a great way to share the excitement of the English Premier League with football fans and TM customers.

This is a really good one. But.. I am not IPTV user. Sigghhh..

About playing with Manutd;

Hernandez said: “It’s an honour because I want to achieve big things. It’s a very nice challenge and hopefully I will be able to contribute. I will always try to enjoy it because sometimes we focus so much on the achievements and our dreams, and maybe we forget to enjoy it.”

“Besides wanting to do the best job I can, grow and learn plenty, I also want to add my little grain of sand because this is a team sport. I want to win a title. I want us to be a great team.”

About playing in EPL;

“I have spoken to them ( Vela & Dos Santos) and they are definitely happy for me and they know that this is the most powerful league in the world. They tell me to take advantage of the situation and I should thank God for the opportunity.

About the pressure playing with the biggest football club in the world;

“I always try to see pressure in a different way – more like motivation. There are millions of people in the world who would do anything to be in my position and have this opportunity.

About playing with football legends such as Ryan Giggs & Scholes;

“These are people I would watch on the television, that I would even play with them on PlayStation,”
“I dreamed of one day being able to play with all of them and I’m going to try to learn from them the most I can.

After playing against MLS All-Star, Manutd will travel to Mexico and playing against Hernandez’s former club, Chivas Guadalajara on Saturday to mark the opening of tits new 45,000-capacity stadium.

Ferguson reveals that the striker will play “one half for Chivas and one half for Manutd”.
However, when asked what he would do if Hernandez scored against United, the manager joked:

“He’ll be fined and transferred back.”

Hahaha…Good one SAF!
