On a side note, why are they bothering with Carling Home Nations Cup at all? Even in the olden days, i didn't see the point when England played in it.

David De Gea To United... It's official.

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Manchester United will sign Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea this summer.

The Red Devils have been scouring Europe to find a replacement for veteran shot-stopper Edwin van der Sar, who will retire after Saturday's UEFA Champions League final with Barcelona.
Talented Spanish youngster De Gea has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford and has won Ferguson's vote ahead of other reported targets such as Ajax's Maarten Stekelenburg and Schalke's Manuel Neuer.
As revealed by skysports.com earlier on Tuesday, a deal between the Red Devils and Atletico is in place, with a fee understood to be in the region of 21million euros (£18.3million) with additional add-ons.

"He's an outstanding replacement for Edwin van der Sar."
Sir Alex Ferguson
Quotes of the week
And Ferguson feels that the 20-year-old is the ideal man to fill the giant void which will be left by the exit of veteran Dutchman Van der Sar this summer.

The Scot told Sky Sports News: "We've been working on it for quite a while, we identified him a while back as one we should go for.

"He's a young goalkeeper, very quick, with good composure and presence.

"He's an outstanding replacement for Edwin van der Sar.

"We were looking for someone with the same types of qualities. One great quality Edwin always had was his composure and organisational ability.

"David De Gea is very similar that way."

De Gea is amazing, his reflex is outstanding.

Great signing for Utd, congrats!

If age is what determines a good keeper we still got a 28 year old on the bench! But, thought u'd seen at City how ability is more important- Hart VS Given battle.

looollololol, City's new kit

Blue half of Manchester

looollololol, City's new kit

You gotta be kidding me?

[Unscarred]

this can't be the home one

Nah of course, it's the away

I stil don't believe this could be the real one thought, that would be so lame.

Actually it is i just checked there website

[Drug.Ballad]

haha, what a gay kit.

I was disappointed with the Gary Neville match, losing 2-1 Suppose it didnt matter but still would have liked a win. And i kinda found it annoying with everyone going mad and over the top cheering for Beckham.

Looking forward to saturday

looollololol, City's new kit

Ahh, the poor general knowledge of the plastic united fans.

This was the kit we wore the last time we won the FA Cup (before this year), and it's also in memory of Neil Young who scored the winner in that game and who died this year.

Red and Black striped away shirts are part of our history, but I wouldn't expect you to know this.

[One Mic]

cityfan31 - you attended the FA Cup Final right?

Have you done this so you can see yourself in the crowd?

We've teamed up with Wembley and 360Cities.net to take this picture, which has been shot with a special hi-res camera. It means you can zoom in close and see every individual in the crowd.

It is the largest sized image of a sporting event ever taken.
