The truth on transfers!

Year after year, United fans have to suffer the rumours and lies that are spread throughout the media. Last year it was Sneijder and this year it was Hazard. Various sources claimed the stars had chosen to join United. or claimed to have inside information. Unfortunately, this just got our hopes up and in the end we were left disappointed.

I always believed the media reported the truth. Sadly I've come to learn that the majority of them spew lies and rumours. Most journalists seem to get their information from twitter, they don't carry out any research. All it takes is for someone to tweet a rumour, or an idea and a journalist will create a story on the player. Why? Well a big headline with "Sneijder set to join United" will sell and it's a sensationalised story. People will enjoy reading that!

So why United? Why not any other club? The problem is, we are the biggest club in the world. We have the biggest fan base in the world and in England. So anything regarding United has the most chance of selling. Of course some papers do report facts and even if the story is just pure speculation, it can turn out to be a good read, but people need to stop accepting everything they read as the truth.

So who are United going to sign? Well Sir Alex Ferguson said in his press conference, "one player but possibly two." So this indicates to me the following. We are in desperate need of a left back. No disrespect to Brady, but if Evra gets injured in March, we cannot afford to play Brady against Barcelona. So a left back surely has to be the priority. Sir Alex said hopefully we can get one more. There has been speculation surrounding Moura and Van Persie, but I won't get my hopes up.

Why Moura after we've just signed a attacking midfielder in Shinji Kagawa? Van Persie seems the more likely option for me but I still doubt that. Signing the Dutchman would be a huge buy and we're not desperate for a striker, yet it would be exciting to see how he'd pair up with Wayne Rooney. A left back is the definite signing for me and anything else is a bonus. With Vidic back and the addition of Kagawa and Powell, we are looking very strong. This is adding to a team that came away with 89 points last season. This can only leave a bright future for Manchester United!

Aguero goal will be a blessing in disguise for years to come!

It's finished at Sunderland, Manchester United have done all they can, that Rooney goal was enough for the three points, Manchester City are still alive here, Balotelli.... Aguerooooooooo...... hits the post!

It could have been so different. Manchester United were on the verge of completing the great escape, with three minutes to go, Manchester City had to score twice to snatch the title from Manchester United and their dreams came true in blue. It was as painful as it gets for the United faithful, who watched their team devastatingly throw away an 8 point lead. Yet this could be the start of something very special for United.

Had United won the title, would Sir Alex have been able to convince the Glazers for more investment? Would Mancini have been offered a new 5 year deal? Arguably there are better valued and more respected managers across the world. It's possible that the panic button would have been struck with full force and Manchester City would have gone berserk in the transfer window.

Madness with Mancini is what comes to mind when I heard the news of a new 5 year deal. That's a lot for a man who won just one league title on goal difference. Of course they are the Champions and we have to respect that, but will the dice role up the right number for him every season? Mancini looked clueless on the touchline when Mackie completed a wonderful QPR counter attack to take them into the lead, only for some Arab cash to bail him out in the last few minutes.

Manchester United came back from the Munich air disaster. Sir Alex Ferguson has defeated Dalglish, Wenger, Mourinho and Ancelotti. I can see Mancini being added to that list in the near future and this might just be the start of another United dynasty. Forza Sir Alex!
