After Ferguson’s announcement some days ago, David Gill has said that it is possible that ManUtd will continue to be active on the transfer market, even during the pre-season Asia trip.
Once SAF had declared that he would not sign anymore players the rumour mill has died up, but actual prices of certain players don’t seem to be as high as thought. Real Madrid has accepted a £15.5m offer from Stuttgart for Huntelaar which seems really good value. It is rumoured that the Dutch striker is holding out and hopes a Premier League club will make an offer. Spurs are said to be negotiating with Madrid, who would have to pay Ajax €6m if Huntelaar joins another club. I think Gill and SAF are already on the case, but we will not move for Ibrahimović because he is massively overvalued. So are Aguero and Villa.
New kit revealed and eternal transfer gossip.
I hope you still remember me because with the start of a new season nearing you will read more from me here again.
Manchester United revealed the new kit for the 2009-2010 season today.
For a second year in a row the kit is rather nostalgic. ManUtd is full of history and our history shall never be forgotten at Old Trafford. Nevertheless I can not say I am entirely convinced by this outfit yet, certainly the goalie kit will take some to get used to even if I find the white kit a lot more stylish than the field player kit.

United Crush Villa
Match Report
Aston Villa 1 Manchester United 4
Wayne Rooney struck twice and missed a penalty as Manchester United eased to victory against nine-man Aston Villa. Gabriel Agbonlahor headed Villa into an early lead, but Rooney’s two composed finishes put United in front. Craig Gardner’s own goal gave United a third before half-time, and Nigel Reo-Coker was sent off on the hour. Keeper Scott Carson followed for a foul on Carlos Tevez, and even though Stuart Taylor saved Rooney’s spot-kick, Ryan Giggs added a deflected fourth.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson rested Cristiano Ronaldo and gave fellow countryman Nani a place in the starting line-up. Villa opened brightly and were ahead in the 11th minute when Ashley Young retrieved Gardner’s dangerous centre and crossed for Agbonlahor to flick a header beyond Edwin van der Sar. Tevez and Rooney looked a dangerous combination, and Carson did well to block the Argentine as the pressure mounted. But it took a lapse of concentration from Villa defender Zat Knight to allow United to draw level after 36 minutes.
