yeh i mostly agree with the smalling/neville comparison. just a few things i would like to add...
neville had a unique effect on our fans simular to robson where the fans responded and lifted the rest of the team. also in 05-07 ish his effect helped ronaldo ,as he could rely on good cover behind him, to develop meaning he was crucial to us.
my other point is smalling is still young and has his career ahead of him. when neville was his age he was seen as a bit of a weak link in what i believe was the best united squad ever (95-96)

TBH it would have been better to compare Rafael and Neville. Smalling will be a CB for sure. He is a beast there. He is playing as RB as we are short of RBs. Dont know why Fergie is not playing Fabio, maybe he didnt want to change winning team but still Smalling will always be a CB.

Good read though. Pretty much spot on, but Neville was not that slow. He lost more than yard of pace after the horrific injury.

Revealed: The banner that inspired Tom Cleverley
MANCHESTER UNITED fans are not worried about getting Wesley because they have got Cleverley.

United have fought a complicated battle all summer to land Wesley Sneijder from Inter Milan in a £35million deal.

But the faithful raised a banner in support of their homegrown 22-year-old star who has come from nowhere to make a stunning impact on United this season.

"Who needs Wesley? We've got Cleverley" it read. But did the young man himself catch sight of it?

Cleverley said: "I did! Wesley Sneijder is fantastic but if the fans think that I must be doing something right."

He certainly is. From the centre of midfield on Sunday he was the cog that made the rest of the team tick as United destroyed Arsenal 8-2.

'Ruthless', 'exciting', 'a joy to watch' are just a few of the terms Cleverley uses to describe this new young team of Alex Ferguson's which swatted the Gunners aside.

Cleverley said: "It is a real pleasure to play in a display like that with world-class players.

"I see in training that we have it in our locker but when it all comes together it is pretty exciting.

"We are a young, high energy team and hopefully we will keep putting on performances like that and the trophies will come. We were ruthless in front of goal."

As they were in the Community Shield, coming back from two down to beat Manchester City 3-2, at West Brom to win 2-1 and at home to Spurs in a 3-0 win. He added: "We look good going forward. Our versatility means almost anybody can occupy the forward positions and we can swap about.

"We know each other's games inside out. It must be a joy to watch."

And a joy to be involved in for the Basingstoke-born lad who has been at United since he was 12. Loan spells at Leicester, Watford and Wigan have turned him into a man. Cleverley said: "I have always looked on thinking one day I want to be on the pitch.

"It is happening, but I have got to work hard and stay there. Growing up around Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Nicky **** and David Beckham you know the history of the club.

"I looked at Scholes and Beckham, top professionals you can model your game on."

Cleverley even chose No '23' because Becks still wears it.

He said: "The manager offered me 22 or 23. I prefer wearing odd numbers.

"David Beckham was my idol growing up, and he wore No 23 at Real Madrid and still does with LA Galaxy."

Cleverley is now walking in his idol's footsteps.

Who needs Wesley?

Cleverly is really good..... and hes walking in right number... plays similiar like him and will carry the same #23 like Becks' have so gonna be pleasure see him continue playing.
So Wesley or no Wesley we still got Cleverly :)
 
Interesting fact;
"Manchester United's David De Gea has made more saves than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League this season."
 
Seeing as DMF is plugging his blog, may as well leave this here. Got a few bits on how United's shape is progressing and so on and so forth.
 
I will be absolutely gutted if Owen Hargreaves proves his fitness this season and shows his worth. Love the guy, and part of me hopes he shows Fergie what a mistake he has made.

That's a disgraceful thing to say. He's been a loyal, if unfortunate, servant, even offering to play for free. I hope you get 'injured'.

Fine, what I said was very harsh but I just can't bear it if Hargreaves comes out good for the scum
 
I believe Hargreaves has been signed basically to cover when Yaya Toure leaves for the African Cup of Nations.
And he is English which doesn't hurt.
 
Any news on Macheda? everything has gone quiet regarding his loan move to Newcastle or QPR.
