• Brazil 'are a supplier of great players' says United manager • 'Liverpool would struggle' to produce young English players The Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson does not believe England will win the World Cup next summer, even though nine members of his squad are aiming to be in Fabio Capello's line-up for the finals. The Scot is instead tipping Brazil to win the trophy for the...
Manchester United lost to Chelsea after the referee awarded a freekick against Darren Fletcher after the Scot won the ball well from Ashley Cole. As the ball came in, Didier Drogba pulled Wes Brown to the ground and was in an offside position, interfering with play due to his proximity to the goalkeeper. The goal [...]
A short and fun interview with Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown, courtesy of talksport. Did you know that Wes Brown was playing for United back in 1999? The lad gets very little credit for all the hard work he puts in. So where do you see Rio in 6 months? "Fun interview with Manchester United’s Ferdinand and Brown" [...]
ITV's coverage of Doha was too negative. I talked to a mate yesterday and he agreed. He said it was "over the top." In fact, the whole media reaction was too negative. Brazil beat England Reserves 1-0 on a very warm evening on the Persian Gulf. And all our press said it proved Fabio Capello has no depth in his squad. I can't really go along with that.

With Michael Carrick making a late withdrawal, even the Italian's second choices were...

England defender Wes Brown expects to get a taster of what the latter stages of the World Cup will be like when Fabio Capello's men take on Brazil at the weekend.
Aston Villa's versatile and humble winger is being drawn further into the England manager's World Cup plans It is as well that football is not ruled exclusively by superstition.
