FIRST LOSS FOR UNITED

Published July 29, 2014 / by admin

Louis van Gaal went through his 2nd match in charge of Manchester United as the head coach of the Premier League club and his influence in the team has already shown positive results as Manchester United defeated AS Roma in a match that concluded with a scoreboard of 3-2.

Manchester United took the lead in the 1st half through 2 goals from Wayne Rooney and 1 goal Juan Mata but the Italian side As.Roma got back in the match when Pjanic and Totti both managed to find the back of the net in the 2nd half but it was the team of Louis van Gaal that came out on top with the victory.

It was a very entertaining match with both teams getting ready for the upcoming season but even with all of the recent signings, departures and positive results that Louis van Gaal has made since being delegated with the role of head coach, the Dutchman still has a lot of more things left to do before the start of the next campaign which kicks off on August 16.

Van Gaal wanted the match to be stopped for another drinks break, like in the World Cup but Roma wouldn’t allow it.

The Colombian Juan Cuadrado made a big impact for his team during the 2014 World Cup with remarkable performances throughout the entire tournament and now Manchester United wants to sign the winger from Fiorentina but will face stiff competition from Barcelona as they are also interested in securing his services.

The player himself remains unsure about his near future as he revealed to the media after the World Cup was over.

Cuadrado said: ‘’I don’t know yet what will happen. At this moment I haven’t received any concrete offers from any club’’

James Rodriguez has already been unveiled as an official player of Real Madrid and now the future of Angel Di Maria is being fought between Manchester United and PSG with both of those clubs leading the race to sign the Argentine midfielder.

Van Persie’s United Future Doubtful

Published February 25, 2014 / by admin

Manchester United is all set to restructure its squad this summer which could mean the axe falls on some of its existing players. One of the most possible names to be axed is Dutch captain Robin Van Persie – he is odds-on to leave according to one online betting offers website.

After Vidic’s announcement on leaving Man U for a fresh challenge, speculations were that persie could be the next skipper. After all, the soccer star is that present captain of Netherlands soccer team and also holds experience of leading Man U arch rival Arsenal.

But a recent article published on Man U website has shattered all such speculations by omitting Persie’s name from the possible Man U captain roster. It is now being said that with Manchester United boss David Moyes prepping up for a series of new signings, Van Persie might be out of the team by the end of summer season.

According to sources, Moyes has planned a grand 200 million pounds for world-class signings as part of their team restructure campaign. With Vidic and Patrice Evra moving out, it’s only natural for the Old Trafford club to look for new stalwarts in their squad. As there is not enough room inside the squad at present for the new signings, there are high chances that Moyes could order a depart for 4 team players.

Persie does not claim a happy innings with the Old Trafford club and has even tagged playing under Moyes as a frustrating session in his career. Over time, he has reported of increasing differences with the Man U boss which could be a string reason of the Dutch captain’s name in the list of possible players to be excluded.

The other possible names to be excluded are Javier Hernandez and Nani.

Man U is planning to sign in Mario Mandzukic from Bayern Munich & Edinson Cavani from PSG.
