The Manchester United thread 2006/2007 - featuring BBB leaving early

[Saha]

Carlos Tevez has told his West Ham team-mates he will quit the club at the end of the season - with AC Milan and Sevilla leading the chase. (The Sun)

Though it is still unclear who owns Tevez - with Media Sports Investment allegedly offering him to five different clubs for £31m. (Daily Express)

It has amused me for some time that Manchester United fans have a chant about Gary Neville being a Red who hates Scousers. Of course, one of their best players, Wayne Rooney, is a Scouser.

Basically i was reading some other sites the other day and they were talking about our greatest side ever. Hardly anyone said the 94 double winning side for reasons mainly that they never saw them play.

So i had half hour spare and tried to dig out some compilations of the sides. Players who played longer will have compilations with a lot of clips after the early 90's but so what.

Some people like the defence you cant get footage of but hopefully when i get chance to have a proper look later on i can find something.

Schmic compilation my favourite, its class and then the Cantona one.

FA Cup final tickets still not arrived.

[Blaine]

Sources close to the Glazer family have indicated that some or all of the six children, five brothers and one sister, on the Manchester United board are expected to attend the final home game of the season at Old Trafford on Sunday and the FA Cup final six days later, scotching suggestions from supporters that they will blank the title celebrations. The Glazers' appearances at Old Trafford have been more frequent in recent weeks, though small numbers of supporters still unhappy at the takeover have attempted to stage protests.

I have to say the '99 treble winning side is my greatest Man Utd team. Mainly because the midfield was so unbelievably awesome. And partly because it picked up a treble and then a hattrick of premiership titles.

Fergie reveals Tevez snub

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that he turned down the chance to sign Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano at the start of the season due to misgivings over the nature of the proposed deal.

United's opponents on the final day of the season, West Ham, were recently fined £5.5million for breaking Premier League regulations in signing the pair from Corinthians, although the London club escaped a potentially disastrous points deduction.

Mascherano has since moved on to Liverpool after a desperately unhappy time at Upton Park, but Tevez will arrive at Old Trafford on Sunday carrying the hopes of Hammers fans on his shoulders after scoring six goals in nine games during a run of inspirational form.

Now Ferguson has explained that the complicated arrangement on offer, involving a third party in MSI, warned him off pursuing a deal for the pair back in August.

"Tevez was offered to everyone," said Ferguson.

"We were offered both him and Mascherano but, if I remember it correctly, we weren't sure of the deal."

The Hammers need just a point to guarantee their Premiership status on Sunday, and Ferguson has recognised the key role that Tevez has played in Alan Curbishley's side's recent renaissance.

"Tevez is the one who has lifted their game a bit," said Ferguson. "He has scored a couple of really good free-kicks and seems to have a lot of enthusiasm for it."

United have been involved in their own transfer controversy in recent days, with the Premier League investigating why Tim Howard was omitted from Everton's side to face The Red Devils after completing a permanent move to Goodison.

The champions have clarified their position after being cleared of any wrongdoing, and Ferguson has dismissed claims that officials within the Premier League knew nothing of the club's wish for Howard to be left out on 28th April.

"There are a few porkies being told because we addressed it with the Premier League at the time," claimed Ferguson.

"We could have just let the loan deal run if we had wanted but the boy wanted his future sorting and Everton knew other clubs were interested in him."
