Nani aka reject from jackson 5, is nowhere near as good as ronaldo was when he started out at manchester.
His over-rated and has shown with the amount of games his played this season that he cant do anything with the ball.

The only thing the guy is good at is picking up cards.The guy at 21 has not won one pro award so far, shows that fifa or any other organization dont think his any good.

Sir Alex Ferguson still intends to buy a new striker this week - and has failed to rule out a shock move for Thierry Henry.
With Louis Saha written out of his plans and Wayne Rooney only just returned to training after picking up a virus in Nigeria, the Manchester United boss had only Carlos Tevez to call on for this afternoon's Community Shield win over Portsmouth at Wembley.
Tevez responded with a man-of-the-match display containing everything but a goal as United triumphed in a penalty shoot-out.
But Ferguson admits getting a forward in time for Sunday's Barclays Premier League opener with Newcastle is now a pressing concern.
'It has been pressing since the end of last season,' said the Scot.
'We like to operate with four strikers and we have not been able to do that.'
There is bound to be fresh speculation over a move for Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov, while Karim Benzema, David Villa and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar have also been linked with Old Trafford over the last few months.
Henry's name has just been added to that list despite the 31-year-old's obvious link with Arsenal.
Tellingly, it was an issue Ferguson chose to skirt round rather than reject.
'There is a name every day,' he said.
'I can't answer the question because I don't have the right answer.
'It is possible I will sign someone this week. We are trying and we are looking at one or two options.
'Hopefully we will get something done.'

United boss reveals official approach from Spanish giants
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Real Madrid did make one official bid for Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
The future of the Manchester United star has dominated the headlines since the end of last season, but he has finally pledged to remain at Old Trafford for at least one more campaign.
Real made no secret of their desire to bring the Portugal international to Spain with a series of public statements from various members of the club's hierarchy, but never confirmed a bid had been lodged.
The Red Devils have always steadfastly refused to budge from their long-held position that Ronaldo is not for sale and would be remaining in the Barclays Premier League.
United boss Ferguson insists the decision that their star man would not be leaving was taken at the start of the whole saga, and admitted that Real have made no attempts to make peace following the long-running battle for Ronaldo's services.
Nonsense
Ferguson said: "We haven't had any recent contact with Real Madrid. Has there been any attempt to heal the rift? Yeah, that will be right!
"They put a bid in. I don't know if it was fax or letter or whatever. Just one. It was sometime in the summer.
"But the final decision was taken at the end of the season when the first nonsense appeared and Cristiano referred to his future being decided in the next few days.
"It was decided there and then he was staying. There was never any change in our stance."
Great club
The Scot is happy for the matter to have been resolved, and feels Ronaldo could well stay longer than the single season he has pledged.
He added: "I think we will just let the thing settle down now. It will take its course.
"The whole business will settle down, he will realise he is at a great club. It will sort itself out, his future will sort itself out."

Real Madrid are reportedly set to demand £17m in compensation from Cristiano Ronaldo after the Portuguese forward refused to demand a transfer from Manchester United.
Ronaldo's announcement last week that he would be remaining at Old Trafford heaped embarrassment on the Spanish giants and their president Ramon Calderon following their summer-long pursuit of the forward.
According to the News of the World, Madrid are adamant that 'they agreed personal terms with the Manchester United star at the start of the summer and insisted on the compensation clause if the transfer was not completed.
'Spanish media sources, who have become Madrid's unofficial mouthpiece during the Ronaldo negotiations, are reporting that Real president Ramon Calderon is determined to press ahead with the claim.
'Calderon might be prepared to waive compensation if he gets a guaranteed assurance from Ronaldo that he will join them next summer.'
However, that claim is contradicted by the Sunday Express which says that, such is Madrid's anger at being rebuffed, Ronaldo may never be allowed to fulfil his boyhood dream of moving to the Bernabeu.

I think it will be harder to emulate it again this year. I do think that we should at least win the league though. It will be very hard to win the UEFA CL again.

I agree. The year after winning Doubles or the Treble always tends to be a bit of a let-down.
I'd settle for just the league or maybe the Fa Cup as well again - it has been a while since we have won our trophy :D

Bunch of tjankgatte is you ask me :rolleyes: They're acting like spoilt brats. I'd never play for them. I'd spit in their face. * spit *
This is fake, how can Real Madrid agree personal terms with Ronaldo if they were not allowed to officialy speak to by Manchester.

I agree. The year after winning Doubles or the Treble always tends to be a bit of a let-down.

Yeah, definitely the FA Cup as well.

Why on Earth would they sell him for less to another club? That's the most retarded thing I've heard. They already said they won't let him go for less than 20 or 25 mill(I think this was the figure).
Shows how much you know about football. If you knew anything about the club you support, you would know how Carrick landed at Old Trafford.
Spurs still remember that, and they wont sell to United. Its been posted countless times on various footy forums and websites that Spurs will sell Berbatov cheaper to another club just so that he doesnt go to Old Trafford.
Know your stuff before you open that mouth of yours.

Other than yourself who doesnt even know simple facts about your own team, not to mention no other team in the league.

So basically your saying you support Man united and the EPL, ok i got the feeling you hated man united and did not like english footie.
Well you live there so i suppose it might be a little more easy for you go see a match when you don't live 20 hours and 14k away. The 14k is for a plane ticket incase your a bit slow and was wondering what i was talking about.
Good to know we have another Man united Supporter.
/calls the goggle supplier for extra large goggles.
If simple facts mean not knowing that rooney screws grannies, then yes i did not know. I don't much care what people do off the pitch. People magazine is a bit lame and i don't care about other people's lives to be honest. If someone like grannies than thats their thing, i don't feel the need to know that, nor would i want to know that :)
/queue's the rooney vs the granny vid for supa to use while alone in the bathroom :p

lol are you off your head?Did I say im a manchester supporter...is that how you jumped on the bandwagon because you friends told you that you a supporter without your choice lol.
Also if you think its that easy to get a ticket go and look at any epl match in london you will see they sold out long before the game and sold to members not the public.
My comment about you not knowing anything is in relation to simple things like the offside rule,the fact you never knew manchester (your team by the way) did not qualify for uefa a couple of years ago (obviously u never jumped on the bandwagon then) and the fact that fergie almost lost his job because of it.
Regarding rooney, the fcking BBC covered it.Everyone who actually follows football knows it, you would not have been able to turn on sky,bbc,ITV,goal.com etc or any other big FOOTBALL site/tv programme without knowing about it.For me that is the most clear example of the fact you are a bandwagon jumper, for not knowing that.

- SAF has apparently gone 'cold' on berbatov (thank god i say, my presonal opinion is that berbatov would not have fitted in with the current squad anyway. he's a good player but too much ego and his style of play is similar to saha. I think Man U needs a centre forward to complement rooney and tevez up front.)
- And the funniest of them all... Real are apparently planning to sue Ronaldo for £17 mil after he opted to stay with Man U. He apparently agreed terms with Real and the contract entitles Real to a nice mount of compensation now.
Thats my 5cents worth of soccer journalism for today :)

I'm sure this has been mentioned many times before.
But now its being widely reported by all news sources (except Marca who are still running "ronaldo house hunting in Madrid" ).
Seems like Fergie has decided to break the bank for this guy and give us a striking trio (or quintet if you count one of Saha/Frazier/Manucho coming good) fit to run rampant on Europe's best teams.
On a side note the Silva rumours are just wierd and I cant see it happening especially when we've already got 4 wingers (albeit 2 fit ones).
Berbatov on brink of £28m move to Old Trafford
By Dale Johnson
Dimitar Berbatov: On his way out?
Spurs have been holding out for a fee in the region of £38million for their star striker, but it is thought they have now reached agreement with the Premier League champions on a £28million deal. Spurs are closing in on a replacement signing and have also been boosted by the form of striker Darren Bent who has hit 13 goals in pre-season.
The Bulgarian has been tracked by United for months and their conduct had angered the White Hart Lane club, who believe the Red Devils were pursuing a public transfer campaign. United were reported to the FA by Spurs but it is likely any deal would see this complaint withdrawn.
Reports suggest the 27-year-old could be a United player by the time the Premier League kicks off this weekend, with some claiming he was at United's Carrington training ground for talks on Tuesday.
Berbatov has made no secret of his desire to move to Old Trafford, something which has frustrated bosses at Spurs who felt he should have shown more loyalty, and he has been criticised for his lack of application since returning from the summer break. It will come as a second blow in a matter of weeks after Robbie Keane insisted to be given permission to move to Liverpool.
Zenit St Petersburg forward Andrei Arshavin and Spartak Moscow star Roman Pavlyuchenko both remain at the top of coach Juande Ramos' wanted list, and the sale of Berbatov could free up enough funds for the Russian strike pair to be reunited in north London. West Ham United striker Dean Ashton - reportedly told to shed pounds by England coach Fabio Capello - has also been tracked, but a move for David Villa would appear to be doomed to failure.
Berbatov has scored 27 Premier League goals in 63 starts since moving from Bayer Leverkusen but his time at the club has been dogged by transfer rumours and questions over his commitment.
But now its being widely reported by all news sources (except Marca who are still running "ronaldo house hunting in Madrid" ).
Seems like Fergie has decided to break the bank for this guy and give us a striking trio (or quintet if you count one of Saha/Frazier/Manucho coming good) fit to run rampant on Europe's best teams.
On a side note the Silva rumours are just wierd and I cant see it happening especially when we've already got 4 wingers (albeit 2 fit ones).
Berbatov on brink of £28m move to Old Trafford
By Dale Johnson
Dimitar Berbatov: On his way out?
Spurs have been holding out for a fee in the region of £38million for their star striker, but it is thought they have now reached agreement with the Premier League champions on a £28million deal. Spurs are closing in on a replacement signing and have also been boosted by the form of striker Darren Bent who has hit 13 goals in pre-season.
The Bulgarian has been tracked by United for months and their conduct had angered the White Hart Lane club, who believe the Red Devils were pursuing a public transfer campaign. United were reported to the FA by Spurs but it is likely any deal would see this complaint withdrawn.

Arsene Wenger does not believe there is any truth in the rumours linking Barcelona forward Thierry Henry with a transfer to Manchester United.
Henry ended his eight-year stay at Arsenal last summer, joining Spanish giants Barca for a £16million fee.
The Frenchman has, however, struggled for form at Camp Nou, and recent press reports have claimed he could make a dramatic return to the Premier League, with Gunners rivals United mooted as an interested party.
But Wenger feels Henry would only come back to play in England's top flight to re-sign for Arsenal.
"I don't believe in that," Wenger told the club's official website.
"I don't believe Thierry Henry will come back to England. That is my gut feeling.
"But I think if he comes back to England then he comes back to Arsenal."
http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_3975204,00.html
Wenger agrees with me :)
Still, imagine if we got Henry and Berbatov.
Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez, Henry and Berbatov in one team would not be too bad :)

ROO READY BUT FERGIE QUIET ON BERBA
Prem 2008/09 Win Outright: Man Utd 11/8
Sir Alex Ferguson's search for a new striker will continue even though Wayne Rooney will return for Manchester United when they begin their Barclays Premier League title defence against Newcastle on Sunday.
Last week, Ferguson claimed he expected to have a new face at the club within the next few days.
So far, no-one has materialised, although strong rumours are sweeping Manchester that Dimitar Berbatov will complete a move to the Red Devils from Tottenham over the weekend.
Ferguson was not prepared to expand on the gossip on Friday, although the ambiguous nature of his response merely fuelled the increasing speculation.
"I cannot give you an answer because there isn't one," he said, when asked whether he still expected to bring in a new player.
"We have been trying to add to the squad but nothing has changed, I have nothing else to say."
If, as expected, Berbatov becomes a United player over the next few days, he will gain an official seal of approval from Owen Hargreaves, who played for Bayern Munich in the striker's Bayer Leverkusen days.
"Berbatov is a fabulous player, who would be a fine addition to any team," said the England midfielder.
"The thing is, if Manchester United sign a player, it has to be a top player and that would be exciting for us all.
"Obviously, you can never have too many strikers, although I don't actually think we need to improve on too much from last season."
Even if Ferguson does complete a deal for Berbatov, the Bulgarian will not be considered for Sunday's clash with Newcastle, making the return of Rooney more important.
Much is expected of the England forward this season. Unfortunately, his summer has been hampered by a virus he contracted in Nigeria.
Rooney missed last weekend's Community Shield duel with Portsmouth at Wembley. However, he was able to train, work that he maintained during the week, leaving Ferguson content to pick him against Kevin Keegan's men.
"Wayne has progressed in training all week, he is fit now and he will play," said Ferguson.
United do have plenty of players missing though, including Nani, who is suspended, and Anderson, who is on Olympic Games duty with Brazil.
Yet those two, plus Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, are the major reason Ferguson does not believe John Terry's theory that his side have peaked.
"The challenge for us is to improve," he said.
"You would think with young players like Anderson, Ronaldo, Rooney and Nani we have the capacity to do that.
"There is no doubt in my mind this team will win championships long after I have left.
"There is a good foundation here now."
While the battle to retain Ronaldo's services has been won - for now at least - Ferguson is resigned to being without the Portugal winger until the end of next month following his ankle operation.
But the good news is Ronaldo's rehabilitation has gone well so far, so there are no delays anticipated in the 23-year-old's comeback bid.
"The specialist was most surprised at the condition Cristiano is in," he said.
"He is ahead of schedule, so he will be in rehab for the next three weeks, then he will move onto endurance work and serious running before he goes onto the football side with us."
After being caught cold by decisive starts from Arsenal and Chelsea during a three-year barren run, Ferguson does not need to impress on his players the need to make another fast start.
Against Newcastle, who have not won at Old Trafford in 25 years and conceded 11 goals against United in two meetings last term, victory is normally guaranteed.
But after a sluggish start last term, which brought United only two points from their opening three games, Ferguson is aware victory is not absolutely essential.
"At the time those starts were electric and it made them hard to peg back," he said.
"We corrected that by having a good start, then last season it took us a bit of time to get ourselves focused before we really went on a consistent run.
"You would prefer to get a good start but we are able to go the long distance."

The new lighties from Brazil are clearly not up to scratch yet. For me, Fletcher never will be. I am beginning to worry that Campbell will go the same way.
I am still haaaaating Wes Brown's attacking contributions if you can even call them that.
Giggs looked surprisngly sharp - I was surprised when they took him off.
Dont know what is wrong with Rooney - must still be playing out of position.
For me there were five players in that starting 11 that would not be there, if we had our full squad
Campbell --> Tevez
Fletcher --> Ronaldo
Wes Brown --> Neville G
Giggs --> Nani
Scholes --> Hargreaves

I hope he goes to United by the way.
Why on Earth would they sell him for less to another club? That's the most retarded thing I've heard.
TOTTENHAM would rather sell Dimitar Berbatov to Barcelona for a cut-price fee than flog him to Manchester United.

I agree with your take on Giggs. He was surprisingly good. As usual, we start the season slowly and not well. We usually start peaking around December, so I'm not concerned at all. It certainly doesn't help that half our team is injured.
Henry, put those t-rolls on ignore. Don't feed them. It's the best thing I ever did.

I'm not but give credit where its due. They played with only their central defenders in their own half, the full backs pushed right up, making it an almost 7 man midfield, choking Portsmouth properly, which United could not do in their game. 69% possession, speaks volumes for the way they played.

United Keep Huntelaar In Mind
20/08/2008 16:04
Steve Michaels, Goal.com
El Mundo Deportivo reports that Ajax star Klaas-Jan Huntelaar remains on the agenda at Manchester United, at least as a backup option. Should they fail to land Dimitar Berbatov then the Dutchman could be subject to an approach...
It is thought that Tottenham Hotspur have rejected a recent bid from United for Berbatov, who is commonly regarded as the Red Devils' number one target this summer.
With €32m apparently not being enough for the Lilywhites, United may soon take their interest elsewhere, and that could be in the direction of the Dutch capital.
Ajax, no stranger to selling their top talents, may accept a bid of slightly under €30m for their international striker, who has a great admirer in the form of United boss Alex Ferguson.
MD additionally reports that, should Ferguson make his interest concrete, a "war" could be on the cards. Real Madrid have made it clear in the past that they too are fans of Huntelaar, and if they do not make a move this summer certainly they would at least consider it next year.
As such if United make a formal offer, Madrid could potentially follow, reawakening the ugly scenes of "Ronaldogate." That said, Madrid are currently preoccupied with the fate of Robinho, to whom they are trying to offer a new contract.

Juande Ramos wants Dimitar Berbatov's future settled - so he can move for Diego Forlan and Roque Santa Cruz
By Martin Lipton 20/08/2008
In association with Setanta Sports
Spurs boss Juande Ramos wants the Dimitar Berbatov saga to end this week - so he can buy Diego Forlan and Roque Santa Cruz.
Ramos has decided Berbatov's imminent exit will clear the air at White Hart Lane and allow him to bring in the strikers he needs.
The Spaniard has been tracking former Manchester United frontman Forlan for the past month and is ready to offer Atletico Madrid £14million for the Uruguayan.
Forlan has claimed he is happy in Spain but Atletico have privately placed a £17million price-tag around his neck, suggesting Ramos may get his man.
And the Tottenham chief is also hoping to step up his interest in Paraguayan striker Santa Cruz despite Blackburn insisting the South American will not join the Ewood Park exodus.
Santa Cruz scored 23 goals in his first season in English football and with Darren Bent's impressive pre-season form disappearing under the scrutiny of England assistant manager Franco Baldini at Middlesbrough on Saturday Ramos is increasingly determined to land his man.
The money will come from the sale of Berbatov, with White Hart Lane chairman Daniel Levy remaining determined to hold out for at least £30m before he will let the want away Bulgarian complete his "dream" move to United.
But Tottenham remain furious at their attempts to force a cut-price deal.

It was on Footy365 all day. We have put in a solid 25 mil bid...
And the manager wants him out. He wants out. The other players want him out.
He must come already!

Rooney's been over-rated for ages and will be out of a starting 11 position pretty soon with the purchase of a new striker.
Next I hope he does not get selected for the england squad as they really struggle with a striker who doesnt actually score goals.

Most certainly - many English supporters I have spoken to ask the question why he doesnt play as well for England as he does for Man U. I dont know what they are on about - he plays exactly the same for both - check the stats - he hardly ever scores for either...

Yep the last english game even the english commentators were saying they need to get a new striker.
Rooney is not creative off the ball which is key to being a good striker as you need to play yourself into space.

Dimi Berbatov has been told by Tottenham that they are prepared to make him rot in the reserves rather than sell him for less than £30m to Manchester United.
The stark warning is understood to have been delivered to the Bulgarian and his agent, Emil Dantche, over the weekend in the wake of his no-show against Sunderland.
While the striker's sale to United has been depicted as an inevitability, Spurs' intransigence has only intensified in recent days. Not only have relations dramatically deteriorated between Spurs and Berbatov, but they remain strained between the two clubs.
There has been no official confirmation that the champions have tabled an improved bid of £25m over the weekend and, according to The Independent, 'Spurs are also annoyed that United have suggested that they must drop their complaint that they made an illegal approach for the Bulgarian. Spurs regard this as a ridiculous demand, especially as they secured an apology, and a donation to charity, from Liverpool after a similar complaint over their courting of Robbie Keane, who eventually left for £19m.'
Speaking last night after his side's 1-0 win at Portsmouth, Sir Alex Ferguson admitted he was growing concerned at the situation.
"There is only a week to go," he said. "You start to concern yourself a bit, but we have shown we have a good quality of player here."
Ferguson's dismay is likely to pale alongside that of his Tottenham counterpart, however. Juande Ramos' call on Sunday for the Berbatov saga to be swiftly resolved has fallen on deaf ears, with the determination of the Spurs hierarchy's to play hardball with United intensified by Berbatov's no-show. It's thought they considered fining the Bulgarian a week's wages until Ramos issued a statement on their own website insisting that the decision to omit the striker for the fixture with Sunderland was his alone.
While it is understandable that Spurs do not want to sell their prized asset for anything less than what they consider a fair price, the longer the saga continues the less time they have to buy reinforcements. Ramos pointedly attributed the defeat to Sunderland to the availability of just a single striker.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Radamel Falcao, Diego Forlan, Andrei Arshavin and Emile Heskey are all potential targets but, with their attention still focused on Berbatov, the north London outfit are not thought to be close to making a new signing.

Well Tottenham are are close to buying a new Russian striker by the name of Pavlyuchenko. According to him, it's a done deal. Maybe this will help our cause, since they will now have a striker if Berbatov leaves.

VIDIC WANTS OUT OF RAINY MANCHESTER
Nemanja Vidic has rained considerable doubt on his future at Manchester United by revealing that he cannot abide the weather in England's third city.
Speaking to a Russian magazine, Vidic described the population as being as gloomy as the weather itself and said the highlight of Manchester was the train station where people could escape to less rainy destinations.
"I will never stay to live in England, that's for sure," the Serbian told Russian magazine Football Weekly. "You get only a brief glimpse of sunlight before it's all cloudy again. The winters are mild, but in summer the temperatures seldom go higher than 20C. And it rains, rains, rains.
"In future, I would like to test myself in another top league. I'm thinking of Spain. At least there will be no reason to complain about the weather. In England, they say that Manchester is the city of rain. Its main attraction is considered to be the timetable at the railway station, where trains leave for other, less rainy cities."
While Mancunians might sympathise with Vidic's opinion of their weather, they are unlikely to be so tolerant of his opinion of them.
"It's not only the weather that I'm not happy about here," he continued. "In Russia and Serbia the people's way of life is similar. In England it's totally different. Here they just don't have time to feel the joy of life.
"Throughout the week they all work so hard. They only talk to people at lunch break. Then in the evening they come home and watch the telly, so they can get up early for work the next day."

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic has sought to clarify comments attributed to him as disliking the English lifestyle and Manchester weather, saying that an interview with a Russian magazine had either been taken out of context or misquoted.
On a statement released on the club's website, the Vidic admitted discussing how difficult he found it adapting to life in England when he first joined from Spartak Moscow in January 2006. He admitted struggling with a new language and culture which contrasted with that of Russia or his native Serbia.
Yet he denied he had ever said: 'In Manchester the main attraction is a timetable at the railway station where trains leave for less rainy cities!
'In England people don't have time to feel the joy of life. Throughout the week they work so hard. They only talk to people at lunch. Then in the evening they watch TV so they can get up early for work the next day.'
The 26-year-old said: 'I'd like to clarify that I did not make these particular remarks. I spoke about the difficulty I had settling in to life in Manchester, but that does not reflect how I feel now.
'I enjoy my life very much as a footballer at Manchester United and I'm very happy to be a part of this great club. I think I show that in the way I play every week. I also have far too much respect for the people of Manchester, and England, to criticise them in this way.'
Neither Vidic nor United chose to remark on other comments attributed to him that stated he aspired to spending some of his later career in Spain.
