This is an amazing compilation of all the 42 goals scored by the World’s Best Player 2007/08 for Manchester United in the 2007/08 season.

After Aaron Ramsey preferred to join Arsenal rather than the Premier League and European Champions, when everyone (Ferguson, Gill, fans and board) thought that he would opt for Manchester United, he will NOT be the Red Devils’ first summer signing. Ferguson is thought to be furious after Ramsey snubbed Man Utd. But life goes on. He will neither be the first nor the last player to snub United, but the Manchester giants still manage to find the right combination of players to dominate football. Robben was on the verge of …

Unfortunately my colleague reddevilrooney was a little ahead of himself. United may have indeed agreed a deal for the 17 year old Cardiff starlet, but unfortunately, reports suggest that he has chosen to move to Arsenal instead… Proof that a private jet to Switzerland can indeed work wonders

Manchester United have made an official offer to Cardiff City for 17-year old promising midfielder Aaron Ramsey. The Welsh midfielder has also caught the attention of Arsenal and Liverpool. The Man Utd is thought to be around £5 million with a clause stating that the player can join Cardiff back on loan for the 2008/09 season. This will convince Cardiff to sell their youngster. The negotiations are also helped by the good relationship between the two clubs, where Man Utd goalkeeper Tom Heaton was loaned out to Cardiff last month.

The Real Madrid player that plays in the Number 7 is team captain Raul. When Beckham, Man Utd’s ex-number 7, left for Madrid, the club allocated him the number 23. David was ready to give up his number, but the good news is that Cristiano Ronaldo is NOT. Also, if you’re currently thinking…’Raul has to retire sometime in the future’…Real Madrid chairman Ramon Calderon has proposed retiring the Number 7 shirt, as a sign of gratitude to the player!

This means that Ronaldo, who said that he can’t see himself playing …

On Tuesday, it was reported that Olympique Lyon hold an interest in Sevilla striker Fabiano, who has been linked with a move to United in the past weeks. This is seen as a precautionary measure by Lyon, which are evaluating their actions in the case that Benzema decides to move to Man Utd.
Benzema may say that he is happy at Lyon, but a chance to play for the best club in Europe with the world’s biggest fanbase doesn’t come knocking everyday. A fee of between £25 and £35 million may …
