Manchester United: updated

Newcomers
As of current, sir Alex Ferguson has made 3 new signing during the transfer window period: Luis Nani (Sporting Lisbon), Owen Hargreaves (Bayern Munich) and Anderson (Porto). Plus there is possibility that Man Utd will make another hit on Carlos Tevez (West Ham), though they still face some problems regarding this matter. With these signing, I believe Man Utd will become another force to be reckon with next season, and I hope it won't be like season 2001-2002; spending a hefty tag on Nistelrooy, Veron but unable to secure the title. Anyway, I expect some competition in midfield place, since they already have some good players like Giggs, Scholes, Ronaldo and Carrick.


New Jersey
so now they have another new jersey, which have been worn during the Asian Tour match against Shenzhen. Basically there's not much change in the jersey, still mantain the red theme (and blue for goalkeeper), the only major change that I see is the white stripe at the back of the jersey, with I found rather weird.
It's plain red, very little white and the badge looks like it has been stitched on at the very end and is also a similar size to the Nike logo. The AIG sponsorship logo dominates the top. At the bottom side of the shirt, there's another sew on patch which reads, 'The Red Devils'. On the back of the shirt is a white line at the top and at the bottom. It's a shirt you'll probably love or hate :3




Asian Tour/Friendlies
Before commencing their 2007-2008 campaign, Man Utd have some friendly matches against some Asian club. They start it with a 2-2 draw against Urawa Red Diamonds, then beat FC Seoul 4-0, beat Shenzhen 6-0 and latest, lost 2-3 to Port Vale (reserve match). 3 matches left for them, against Guangzhou, Inter Milan and Doncaster. In the match against Shenzhen, Chris Eagles scores a goal with spectacular volley, while Nani also scores in this match (his debut), followed by his trademark somersault goal celebration.
Well at first Man Utd had planned to come to Malaysia, unfortunately it clash with the Asian Cup, thus was prohibited by Malaysian authority from coming, scared that it'll draw the attention away from the Asian Cup lol. What an excuses to made, let alone Malaysia did terribly poor in Asian Cup. Well, at least it'll save Malaysian team from being humiliated 6, 8, 10 goals from Man Utd :3
