Manchester United are going to face newly promoted West Bromwich albion tomorrow at Old Trafford. While United will be missing Micheal Carrick and Owen Hargreaves again, WBA manager’s Tony Mowbray will be hoping for another point from a premier league giant after held Arsenal with a 1-1 draw.

The Baggies have already run Arsenal close away from home this term and will be looking to stop United top form.

Sir Alex Ferguson hopes that Wayne Rooney continues scoring goals with United as he did with England during the last two games of World Cup 2010 qualifications. It is likely to see Berbatov partnering Rooney in the front while Carlos Tevez to watch the game from the bench.

Manchester United had a good record when playing against WBA. The only time United have dropped Premier League points against West Brom was this corresponding fixture on 7 May 2005 when Robert Earnshaw’s second-half penalty cancelled out Ryan Giggs opener and went some way to denying United from finishing the season in runners-up spot.

Starting XI:

Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Ronaldo, Fletcher, O’Shea, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov.

Will United continue their top form?

Manchester United’s Golden boy, Wayne Rooney, could score five goals with England in the last two games against Kazakhstan and Belarus. Now, It seems there is nothing can stop Rooney from scoring more goals for his country and club. Sir Alex Ferguson is the happiest man because of Rooney recent great forms. Let’s hope that Rooney continue playing such a great football and score more clubs for United. Enjoy watching the goals! Continue Reading

Manchester United squad will soon be boosted by the return of two important midfielders, Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves.The England duos are set to make their comebacks United Premiership game with West Bromwich Albion on 18th October. Carrick has missed the last six matches since breaking a bone in his foot against Liverpool a month ago.

The 27-year-old had only started one game before his Anfield sadness but manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he will almost surely be back on time to face the Baggies.

“We are expecting Michael to be available next week. He is almost back to full training now,” said the United boss.

Meanwhile, Owen’s frustrating long-term problem with knee tendonitis has improved.

He has fought the injury on and off ever since he arrived from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2007.

It struck him down again on the eve of the double winner’s pre-season tour of South Africa. Despite treatment and injections throughout last term, the problem returned during the close season and forced the 27-year-old to skip the tour.

His delayed return began with an appearance as sub against Liverpool and starts against Villarreal and Chelsea.

We hope the two players stay away from injuries.

Former Manchester United defender’s Jaap Stam has made a shock return to Manchester United as a talent scout. The former Holland defender’s relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson was critical when his candid 2001 autobiography carped the Fergie and some players like Roy Keane.

The centre back was sold to Lazio within weeks but the 36-year-old, who retired last year after ending his playing career at Ajax, is reported to be working as a scout for United.

Stam was spotted in Porto Alegre in Brazil this week to watch a youth-team match between Internacional and Ceramica. It is believed that United have been linked with Gremio’s Douglas Costa and Stam saw the creative midfielder put in a man-of-the-match performance in just his second start.

Costa has just signed a new contract with Gremio after turning 18, increasing his buy-out clause from £5million to £21m after reports also linked him to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Dubbed the ‘new jewel of Brazilian football’ by Gremio president Paulo Odone, Costa is already impressing coaches and team-mates, scoring from 20 yards in Saturday’s 2-1 win against Botafogo.

Sir Alex Ferguson is pleased that he finally got some talents from Brazil, remember Kleberson’s nightmare, and he will be happy to add Costa to the long young Brazilian players list.

Welcome back Jaap!
