United's new home and away shirts are a celebration of 50 years since the Busby Babes' first league championship. The Nike designed strip has a 1950’s retro style – a tribute to the success of the Busby Babes and their enduring influence – and will carry the logo of AIG, the club's new shirt sponsor. www.manutd.com/news/fullstory.sps?iNewsid=344349&itype=466&icategoryid=119  Loving them jerseys!  Espicelly the crest, like the CL Jersey. Think i'll get them this season. And the crest is also in the proper position! As for Viera, i dont like him but would love if he signed for us, he is a twat but also class, short term solution for the Keano hole. |

Man Utd close to signing Kuszczak
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed they are closing in on a deal to sign West Brom goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak.
Kuszczak, 26, will back up Edwin van der Sar, while both Ben Foster and Tim Howard will be loaned out to Watford and Everton for the season.
Ferguson said: "We are in the process of tying up a deal with Kuszczak from West Brom.
"He has Premier League experience and he'll be number two to Van der Sar."
The 26-year-old Polish international joined the Baggies in the summer of 2004 on a free transfer from Bundesliga outfit Hertha Berlin.
Kuszczak was a member of Poland's squad at this year's World Cup in Germany.
West Brom signed Switzerland's World Cup goalkeeper Pascal Zuberbuhler on Friday, paving the way for Kuszczak's move.
Ferguson revealed Foster would be returning to Vicarage Road after playing a key role in Watford's promotion to the Premiership last season.
"We have an agreement with Watford that the boy goes back for the full year," confirmed Ferguson.

Tottenham closing in on Duff deal
Tottenham are close to completing the signing of Chelsea's Damien Duff, according to reports.
The 27-year-old winger is thought to have completed a medical on Sunday and is expected to make his move across the capital in the next few days.
The Republic of Ireland star, who moved to Chelsea from Blackburn for £17m in 2003, has a year left on his contract.
Duff has won two Premiership titles at Chelsea but has struggled to hold down a regular slot in the starting line-up.
He reported back for pre-season training on Monday at their Cobham base as speculation mounted that he was about to leave Stamford Bridge for White Hart Lane.
Duff would be the fourth signing of the summer after Dimitar Berbatov, Didier Zokora and Benoit Assou-Ekotto.
Since Jose Mourinho replaced Claudio Ranieri as boss in 2004, Duff has been hampered by knee and shoulder injuries, and the summer arrival of Michael Ballack has put his place in the side under further threat.
The signing of Ballack and striker Andriy Shevchenko could mean that Mourinho will revert to a 4-4-2 to accomodate his new signings, leaving fewer opportunites for Chelsea's wingers.
Duff began his career at Blackburn Rovers in 1996 and made over 200 appearances for the Lancashire club.
Since moving to London, Duff has featured 95 times for the Premiership champions.
He was joined at Chelsea's first training session by new signings Salomon Kalou and Hilario.
Duff, Carlo Cudicini, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Geremi and Lassana Diarra were also involved in the sessions.
Chelsea's World Cup stars are expected to begin pre-season training over the next two weeks.

O'Leary parts company with Villa
Aston Villa have announced that manager David O'Leary has left the club by mutual consent.
The 48-year-old's departure follows an inquiry by the Villa board into a statement criticising Ellis that was supposedly issued by the squad.
"Although no misconduct by O'Leary was uncovered it has been agreed that an amicable parting was in the best interests," said a Villa statement.
"A compensation package reflecting the situation has been established."
The statement concluded: "It has been mutually agreed to terminate the contract of David O'Leary, with immediate effect."
O'Leary took charge of Villa in June 2003 and took the Midlands side to sixth in the Premiership in his first season.
But fortunes on the pitch took a tumble for the Irishman, with the club finishing 10th in the 2004/2005 season and 16th in 2005/2006.
"There was no chemistry between O'Leary and his fans and it's questionable how much of a relationship there was between himself and the players," said BBC Radio Five Live's Pat Murphy.
"He underachieved last season. They were boring, moribund tactically dull. It was a terrible season at Villa Park.
"The season-ticket sales during the summer have been absolutely appalling. Fundamentally, the Villa supporters will be glad that O'Leary has gone."
Fans cheered and clapped as the former Leeds boss left Villa Park at 2200 BST on Wednesday following a six-hour meeting.
Leaving the stadium, O'Leary said: "Look, we've just had a chat, that's it."

'Don't Try And Deny We're In Decline...'
Friday July 28 2006
By A United Fan Embarrassed To Wear The New Shirt
Sir Alex Ferguson will this season try and replace the greatest Manchester United goalscorer since Denis Law with Alan Smith, a player who has already failed to replace Roy Keane.
The manager will doubtless announce, with two-thirds of the season gone and United in hot pursuit of a UEFA Cup place, that United are "delighted with his progress" as Smith fails to fill such enormous boots yet again. Is there a United fan left who can't see that Ferguson's attempts to plait poo aren't quite working out?
Me, I'd keep any remaining respect I have for the manager if he accepted the reality of the situation - that United are in terminal decline, saddled with unmanageable debt and unlikely to challenge for anything in the next decade at least - and threw in the towel in protest at how rotten the club has become; a difficult thing to do when you're paid so handsomely I imagine.
Insults to our intelligence will first come with suggestions that United have had a 'fantastic' pre-season with wins in South Africa and up at Champions League contenders Celtic; hardly consolation for Liverpool climbing back on their perch in plain view of the man who helped them off it but hey, we're just thick-as-f*** football fans.
There can be no excuse for Smith being asked to replace Ruud, but more importantly, if no man is bigger than the club, Ferguson should not be allowed to let his personal vendettas get in the way of United's on-field quests. If the club was that important then they could have a group hug and forget whatever it is that's gone on.
Or is Ferguson's famous intolerance of insubordinate players being used as a front for something wholly more disturbing - the sale of top players to help manage the debts incurred to buy our club?
Whilst the team, with such giants of the game such as Fletcher, O'Shea, Evra and Vidic carrying the good name, conspire to depress and bore every United fan, the owners, as they have done already this week, will strive to ensure that the remaining debts are listed against our football club, not their family name. The sale of RVN is evidence of the asset-stripping that we were warned about before the takeover. It won't end there because the Glazers would rather the money came out of our club's pockets than theirs.
Forget the line that the Glazers would never risk such enormous sums to buy United and that therefore they must have a master plan. The risk is no longer theirs in the same way that Ruud van Nistelrooy is no longer ours.
Still waiting and seeing?

[glow=red,2,300] 18.6 MILLION POUNDS [/glow] For Michael Carrick!!! The worlds gone mad or atleast United Have United always pay over the odds coz they are United. I really like Carrick and see a great role at United for him even tho it is a huge price tag. It says up to 18 mill so Spurs woun't be getting all that money, clauses like, winning the league over the next few season will give them moneylike in the rooney deal, also appearences, international games, goals etc will come into this fee |
