Wes Brown will fly home early from South
Africa tour following the death of his pregnant sister. This is a further blow after his father, Bancroft, died in February.

My deep condolences and sympathy to Wesley Brown and Family. All my heart and mind is with you.

Manchester United drawn 1-1 against Kaizer Chefs, yesterday at Vodacom Challenge in South Africa. Young Chris Eagles scored the equalizer in the 59th minute.

On other news, Sir Alex had hit back to Spurs’ boss Daniel Levy:

It will be “very embarrassing” for Tottenham if they decide to carry out their threat to report Manchester United to the Premier League. But you know what Daniel Levy is like. He’s different.

Sir Alex maintains he never mentioned anyone by name when he revealed they had tabled a bid for a player.

Ferguson claims his remarks were misreported by a national newspaper and that United may now bring in their legal team.

Ha ha Levy.

Been a while since my last Reds Related Roundup. But news are flowing through the world wide web and there are some interesting things going on relating to Manchester United.

1. Soccerlens : Is Sepp Blatter a Marxist?
2. United legend Gary Pallister: Speak Up Ronaldo!
3. Manchester Evening News: Saha misses African Tour (again?)
4. The Boss is confident that Owen Hargreaves will be fit at the start of the season.
5. Spurs’s chief blasts Fergie (at least we table the money…).

Do i miss something? Oh yeah.

Clichy (Arsenal defender) compare Robin Van Persie with Ronaldo. Ok, i admit Robin Van Persie is scary. He netted some goals to our team. But comparing him to Ronaldo? Ehhh… Is this a wrong English translation from the French defender quote or what?

Anyway, have a great weekend.

Quick update:

1. Reported by Manchester Evening News (i don’t buy other newspaper on this), Sir Alex Ferguson has met with the Portuguese winger. The boss is firmly believe that Reds no. 7 will play in Red Uniform (oh no, that away kit is terrible…!) next year.
2. Patrice Evra has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association following the post-match brawl that marred the Premier League clash at Chelsea in April.
3. SAF also confirmed the club’s bid for Dimitar Berbatov.
4. Hargreaves injured and was out of list for the club’s Africa pre-season tour, but believed to be fit for the start of next season.

I guess these news are good news. I can go to sleep now.

Ooopss… i almost forget, EAT THAT REAL MADRID!

Been planning this for a while and i guess there’s no better time to start it out in the near future since the new season will begin shortly.

After trying out installing some new CMS applications on this Manchester United Blog (a Wiki and a Social Voting), i guess it’s time for me to start a blog with and for my fellow Indonesians.

By far i have 1 contributor and we will start to manage the operational of this blog together. However, we’re open for new team members as we plan to expand and want to be the best Manchester United Blog Indonesians can offer. Sounds ambitious remembering that so many forums and fan clubs are out there but, hey, this is internet content era, who knows if we can produce the best interesting contents continuously and gather the biggest crowds?

Anyway, it hasn’t happen yet so we’ll be focus our effort to achieve that.

… and the very last thing we need.

If the same situation continues, which seems like it, then we lost the war against Real Madrid. The heavy winding road to lure Ronaldo away from Theater of Dreams is soon ended with him wanting out afraid of fan’s rage.

However, i trust Sir Alex’s decision whether he’ll let Ronaldo out or stay. As a fan i will support no matter what the decision will.

Manchester United is bigger than everyone. Let’s prove it.

Manchester United has just finished their first pre-season game in a near sell-out crowd of 20,500 turned up for the testimonial game in honour of the Aberdeen side that won the European Cup Winners’ Cup 25 years ago in Gothenburg when Ferguson was manager at Pittodrie.

The team won 2-0 thanks to Carrick’s first half penalty and Wayne Rooney’s header.

In not so football related news, Pele slammed the modern slavery defined by FIFA boss echoed by Busby Babe Albert Scanlon, who at his peak earns $25 a week. However, when Sir Alex who is not in a hurry to find replacement for his no. 2, asked what he think about the Bladder, he simply answered,

No, we’re here to talk about football.

I’m so glad to see we’re back to play football the Manchester United way, thank God Sir Alex is back at work.

I don’t think this thing will go anytime soon. So here’s that Sir Blatter talk about ‘modern slavery’ in football.

I didn’t give a damn to hear the news that Ronaldo is ‘agree’ with that idiot Blatter. But after watching this video i’m speechless. Dude, he agree he is a slave
