MU heeft dit jaar weer veel pech met blessures en schorsingen.

Misschien moeten ze dit jaar maar eens alles op de CL zetten na de winterstop

United Notch 1,000 Premiership Goals

Manchester United today became the first team to score 1,000 goals in the Barclays Premiership since its 1992 inception.

Cristiano Ronaldo's injury-time header against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium saw the Reds achieve the historic landmark - unfortunately on a day when everything else seemed to go wrong. Boro were, by then, four goals up and cruising.

It will be of little consolation to Sir Alex Ferguson's shell-shocked side but they reached the 1,000 mark well ahead of their rivals, none of whom have yet scored 900 goals.

ManUtd.com and United Review will be poring over the record books in the coming weeks, to bring you all the important statistics, quirky facts and throwaway titbits from United's first thousand goals in the Barclays Premiership.

We zullen zien in de komende tijd of de titel er nog in zit. Volgende week United thuis tegen Chelsea daar moet het gebeuren.

Keane demands Man Utd clear-out

Roy Keane's interview with Manchester United's TV channel following the loss at Middlesbrough reportedly called for a player clear-out in the new year.

The interview, subsequently withdrawn, also criticised defender Rio Ferdinand.

Keane is quoted as telling MUTV: "Just because you're paid Ŗ120,000-a-week and do well for 20 minutes against Spurs, you think you're a superstar.

"There's talk of putting this right in January and bringing players in. We should be doing the opposite."

The 34-year-old, who has been at Old Trafford for 11 years, issued an uncompromising analysis of United's humiliating 4-1 defeat at The Riverside.

I wasn't surprised by the result - I had been expecting one like this," said Keane.

"The players have been asked questions and they are just not coming up with the answers. I am sick of having to say it and they are sick of listening to me.

"They have let down the club, the manager and the fans.

"The younger players have been let down by some of the more experienced ones - they are not leading. There is a shortage of characters.

"It seems to be in this club you have to play badly to be rewarded. Maybe that is what I should do when I come back - play badly."

Nor did the younger players at the club, currently 13 points adrift of Premiership leaders Chelsea, escape Keane's wrath.

"When they sign the contracts, they think they have made it. They owe it to the manager, the staff and the fans," he said.

"These guys thought getting new contracts was the best day of their careers. They think they have made it. They haven't.

"The fact that (senior players) are out should be enough incentive for those coming in to play better and give more.

"It is not enough to play well for 20 minutes, it is a 90-minute game.

"You get well rewarded but you have to put the hard work to earn those rewards."

The show was due to be screened on Monday but failed to make it to air, with a report on the club's academy side shown instead.


United manager Sir Alex Ferguson refused to comment on the matter when quizzed ahead of his side's Champions League clash with Lille at Stade de France.

Keane is currently out of action with a broken bone in a foot.

Ferguson threatens England action

Manchester United in the dock
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has threatened to pull his England players out of the squad for the November friendly versus Argentina.
He told the club magazine: "I've never had problems with competitive games but I'll not risk my players in a friendly.

"I do not like friendly internationals. England have one this month and you can bet that Chelsea and Arsenal will be pulling their players out.

"And if I have the injury problems I have at the moment, I will be too."

Een echte sloper. Is ongelukkig in Madrid, al doet hij zelf alsof dat niet zo is.

Past er wel bij. Alan Smith is natuurlijk geen echte speler voor die positie.

Ach, er moet nou ook niet te dramatisch gedaan worden. Zo'n seizoen in Europa kan er gewoon een keertje bijzitten. Voor de eerste keer in 10 jaar dat we de eerste ronde niet overleven.

Shit happens.
