Van der Sar - Man Utd's David de Gea must deal with tough start
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar insists David de Gea has to "deal" with his tough start to life at the club.

De Gea, 21, was signed in an £18.3m deal from Atletico Madrid last summer following Van der Sar's retirement.

The Spaniard has attracted criticism after struggling to adapt in his first months in the Premier League.

"He has to deal with that. They paid a lot of money for him and he has to come through that," Van der Sar said.

"It's always difficult if you're coming into a new club and new league, especially the English one. It's a very demanding one and can be very tough."

De Gea's ongoing problems, coupled with Anders Lindegaard being out for a month with an ankle problem, has led to some speculation that Sir Alex Ferguson could ask Van der Sar to follow Paul Scholes out of retirement.

Former Ajax, Juventus and Fulham goalkeeper Van der Sar, 41, called time on his career at the end of last season, bringing an impressive six-year spell at United to a close.

Ferguson has dismissed any suggestion that the Dutchman, who has described Lindegaard's performances this season as "magnificent", could return to Old Trafford as a player.

Hard act to follow
Edwin van der Sar won four Premier League titles, one Champions League and two League Cups in his six years at Old Trafford.
Van der Sar also maintains that, while he is not surprised to see Scholes back at United, he has no intention of reconsidering retirement.

He added: "I got a few text messages from friends saying, 'What about you?' I'm quite happy at the moment. There's no doubt in my mind.

"I was at (United's training ground) Carrington and Scholes was watching a training session and I said 'So, how do you like it?'.

"He said, 'Not really. I miss it'. He was still there doing his work as an assistant coach with the reserve team so it was probably a little bit easier to get back in."

Van der Sar believes his old club have shown their character since the turn of the year.

Ferguson's side are two points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City and Van der Sar believes his old team can win a fifth title in six seasons.

He said: "I think United have had a reasonably strong, competitive last month.

"I see the qualities United have and the tactics Ferguson can deploy. Hopefully that can be enough for another title."

EVDS making lots of good points:).

Patrice Evra believes Manchester United have shown great character to overcome an injury-hit season and still compete with Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Sir Alex Ferguson was without first-team regulars Phil Jones, Nani and Chris Smalling for United’s 3-3 draw with Chelsea on Sunday, while the Red Devils boss lost Nemanja Vidić to a season-ending knee injury last December.

“I don’t know what is happening, I think someone is doing some voodoo on us!” Evra told United’s website. “It’s amazing how many injuries we’ve had. I see many teams complaining about the injuries they have but, for us, it has been amazing.

“To lose a player like Nemanja Vidić for the season yet we’ve coped with that. I think to get so close to Manchester City, given the injuries we have had, shows we have really good spirit in the team.

“That’s the most important thing and that’s the culture of the club. No matter what happens, we don’t like to have excuses. I just say ‘well done’ to every player but the job is not finished. The most important part is still to come.”

Evra is confident United can retain their Premier League crown despite a difficult month ahead, with games against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, while they also have a Europa League clash with Ajax to prepare for.

“There’s still a long time to go,” he continued. “I always say the league is a marathon not a sprint.

“Next we have Liverpool and then the Europa League against Ajax. I think that’s why we play for Manchester United because we want to play in those type of games. We have to make sure we show that now on the pitch.

“Every game is difficult but we just have to say to ourselves we have to win all of them. I know it’s not easy but if you want to win the league, you have to win these sort of games.”

Evra gets what United is about, however, he needs to work on his defensive side of play more;).

Ha Ha. SAF is a legend!:worship::D

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has demanded a hardline stance on any new incident of racism in football.

Ferguson, whose side play rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford this weekend, has been shocked by the re-emergence of the issue of racism in the game, with one of his own players on the receiving end this season.

Reds forward Luis Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing United defender Patrice Evra during a fixture back in October and subsequently served an eight-match ban.

Other incidents have seen fans arrested after allegations they racially abused players, while Chelsea defender John Terry is to stand trial in July to deny a charge that he racially abused QPR's Anton Ferdinand, brother of United's Rio Ferdinand.

Ferguson told CNN: "I don't understand at all where it's coming from. This is a moment where we have to take stock and we should do something about it if it's surfacing again, and be really hard and firm on any form or shape of racism.

"There have been a couple of examples recently which is not good. In 2012, you can't believe it. It was obvious maybe 20 years ago and the improvements have been for everyone to see. I have had some fantastic black players, absolutely magnificent black players, and with every one of them I have enjoyed my working relationship with them."

LOL at bucktooth:laugh2:, still in denial he did anything wrong when the FA proved he did. KKK Dalglish can do one too chatting **** too because he is a moron!

David De Gea intends to remain at Manchester United for "many years" and is determined to be remembered as one of the club's top goalkeepers.

De Gea, 21, signed for United from Atletico Madrid last summer for £18.9 million, but has failed to impress at Old Trafford following a number of high-profile errors.

The Spaniard, though, has shown flashes of quality, the most recent of which came at Stamford Bridge on Sunday when he made a fine late stop to deny Chelsea in their 3-3 draw.

De Gea said: "I have every intention of spending many years at Manchester United. I want to go on to become a great United keeper and to earn and deserve respect. I want to help United make history."

Of his transition from La Liga to the Premier League, De Gea said: "I think it is fair to say La Liga and the Premier League are the two best leagues in the world.

"But it's well known the style of play here is rather more physical and, as a goalkeeper, you have to be right on it. You have to be attentive all through the match.

"The players coming at you can shoot from any angle and from distance. You need to be aware you might get a shot from distance at any time.

"Having said that, there's a lot of crosses from the sides, a lot of high balls and aerial play. So you have to be able to get in there and block, interfere and stop shots being taken.

"I knew when I was coming to United this was the style of play. So I was pretty much ready and I was already confident."

Manchester United defender Chris Smalling has set his sights on a goalscoring return to action against Liverpool this weekend.

The 22-year-old England international was absent during Sunday's epic 3-3 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and has been one of a number of defensive casualties in a season of woe for the Red Devils on the injury front.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson's side remain in the fight for the title and are just two points behind 'noisy neighbours' Manchester City going into this weekend's fixtures.

A win against Kenny Dalglish's side would add to the pressure on the Citizens, and Smalling is hoping to help the strikers with a goal against the Reds.

"I’m definitely working hard on my role at corners and free-kicks in order to make an impact," he told Inside United and the official United website.

"When I joined, one or two of the coaches pointed out that they were looking for goals from the centre-halves. Obviously Nemanja Vidic scores a few and if you can add goals to your armoury it’s a massive plus point."

The former Fulham defender has previously shown an eye for goal, scoring against Scunthorpe United in the League Cup during his debut season for United and notching striker versus Chelsea and Manchester City this term.

It's a trait the player is hoping to continue, although Smalling is well aware that stopping opposition strikers from getting past is his main task for the champions.

"Hopefully I’ll keep finding the net and contribute a bit more in the future. I don’t want us to be relying all the time on the strikers for goals," he added.

"I think centre-forwards are changing a little bit. We’re used to defending against either big strong forwards or quick nippy ones. But the likes of Demba Ba [Newcastle] and Bobby Zamora [ex-Fulham, now QPR], as well as a few other strikers in the league, combine elements of both and I think that’s made things a little more difficult for defenders.

"That could be a reason why we’re seeing a lot more goals."

Man i would actually cum in my pants if Clev is back for the weekend

Sir Alex Ferguson has described Ryan Giggs as an example to all of his players at Old Trafford after the midfielder penned a fresh one-year contract extension to keep him at Manchester United for a 22nd season.
The 38-year-old Welshman made his Red Devils debut back in March 1991 and has gone on to make a staggering 898 appearances for the club.

Giggs has featured 22 times this season, scoring three goals as he looks to secure his 13th league title at United.

“Ryan is a marvellous player,” said Ferguson. “In many ways, he epitomises all my teams here at United: he has constantly re-invented himself, adapted to the changing nature of the game and retained that desire and hunger for success.

“In every training session and match, he is the example for others to follow. The young players in the dressing room have a great chance to learn from a player who will continue to break records that anyone in the game will find hard to beat.”

Giggs is convinced he will still be able to contribute to the team for the rest of this season and into the next.

He said: “When I signed my first contract, I never thought I’d be able to play at United for 22 years, but I feel good and I know I can still contribute to keeping the team pushing for honours.

“Winning the club’s 19th title was a great feeling but this club is all about what we do next and I’m really pleased I can be part of that.”

Giggsy is a United legend, great news:):devil:.

Tom Cleverley is back for the Liverpool match, really pleased about this news:D. Missed him!
