Manchester United held by Toffees at Goodison Park


Wayne Rooney could not score his 100 goals of his career as Manchester United were held with a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park. United goal came in the first half by Darren Fletcher while Everton could equalized in the second half by Fellaini.

By dropping two valuable points, United have to wait other results to check their position in the Premier League table and they must win their postponed game against Fulham to stay close from the top four.

Manchester United starting lineup had seen the comeback of Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra. Ryan Giggs started the game again as a central midfielder, duo to Carrick and Hargreaves injuries, partnering Darren Fletcher who scored the game only goal.

The first threat came from Louis Saha. In the 10th minute the former United striker has wasted a glorious chance to feed in Arteta, who had drifted off his marker at the far post. The Frenchman went for goal but his effort from the edge of the box was blocked by Wes Brown’s fine challenge.

Then United have dominated the game. After many chances Darren Fletcher has opened the scoring from Ryan Giggs’ clever pass. A superb first touch took him past Lescott, and the finish was perfect pass Howard legs. Read the full story

Everton x Manchester United preview, Rooney to score 100 goals


Manchester United are heading to Liverpool to face Everton at Goodison Park. United hope to continue their good forms by recording another victory in the Premier League to get closer to Chelsea and Liverpool.

Wayne Rooney will be looking to score his 100th goals in the Premier League against his former club stadium where he scored his first ever goal.

“For obvious reasons, Saturday is a big game for me.

“It is always nice for any player to score 100 goals and if I can do that back at Everton, where I started and at Goodison Park, where I scored my first Premier League goal, it would be really pleasing.

“But it wouldn’t really matter if it was my first or my 100th, it would still be really sweet.” Read the full story

Saha move to Everton and join Neville


Frenchman Louis Saha is set to join Phil Neville with Everton, subject to the Manchester United striker passing a medical. United have accepted an undisclosed fee for Saha who joined the English champion from Fulham in 2004. Saha, who scored 42 goals in his 124 appearances for United, has been offered a two-year contract with the option of a one-year extension.

Saha, 30-year-old, will be the third signing in a week for Toffees after the captures of Lars Jacobsen and Segundo Castillo, if he passes the medical. The former Fulham and Newcastle man has thanked Sir Alex Ferguson for his advice and support during his time with United.

Now, the number of strikers in United list is decreased and Sir Alex Ferguson is “less optimistic” about signing Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham.

“I’ve no idea what’s going on. It’s very hard to get communication with some people in life.”

This may make defending the Premiership and UEFA Champions League more difficult as only Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez are the only strikers.

However, there is some good news about Manucho. The 25-year-old Angolan is recovering from injury after breaking his metatarsal in his right foot in pre-season training.
