Where can you find Manchester United Stuff?

Did you remember Manchester United Retro Champions League Final Shirt 1999 looks like? Yes, SHARP owned the shirt sponsorship. And did you know who sponsored Manchester United before SHARP? No one, I thought. I don’t believe there is any. Manchester United has only three main sponsors since they started shirt sponsorship. The first Man United shirt sponsor was Sharp, then Vodafone, and the current one is AIG (Click to download wallpaper: Cristiano Ronaldo wear AIG t-shirt).

There was an issue on who will sponsor Manchester United on the end of 2005. Google and Yahoo seem to be so fanatic when these two giant Internet Company started to become interested in the world of Sports Marketing, as both are apparently in talks with Manchester United people. But, they seem worried about this. No one got it. Vodafone was the winner. And recently, AIG did it. AIG own the shirt sponsorship.

Where to find the newest Manchester United t-shirt? Simple, Man United Official Store has it. But sometimes you’ll find them no more left. Don’t worry, SoccerPro.com stock is already available. SoccerPro.com is quickly growing and has reached all 50 states. Their customers range from the beginner, professional, all kind of customers. They have a lot of football (soccer in the US) stuff. T-shirt, ball, shoes, magazine, and all of things related to football.

You could also find the Cristiano Ronaldo Jersey, nike vapor cleats, and all of Manchester united stuff. Just check out, and you’ll get your football stuff…

Real Madrid will pay 'whatever it takes' for Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid will pay 'whatever it takes' for Cristiano Ronaldo
Real Madrid are prepared to smash the world transfer record with an £80 million bid for Cristiano Ronaldo after the Spanish club's manager, Bernd Schuster, said they would "pay whatever it takes" to lure the Portuguese winger from Old Trafford. With the Spanish champions also offering to pay Ronaldo £182,000-a-week after tax, the potential deal is nearly double what is currently the biggest transfer in football history which occured when Zinedine Zidane joined Madrid from Juventus for £46 million in 2001. With Ronaldo having announced his "dream" of joining Madrid, the club expect the 23-year-old to force United's hand over the sale, or put in a transfer request. Madrid may offer a cash-plus-player deal involving Wesley Sneijder or Robinho.
Ronaldo's future continues to dominate the media, with former France talisman Zidane quoted in several newspapers as saying he expects to lose his tag as the most expensive player of all time if the Spanish giants get their man.

Cristiano Ronaldo admitted that he is looking to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo admitted that he is looking to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo last night all but admitted that he is looking to leave the European champions for Real Madrid. The 23-year-old finally broke his silence about his club future after Portugal's 3-2 defeat to Germany in the quarter-finals of Euro 2008. "In two or three days' time I will announce my future because the tournament is over for me," he said in Portuguese after the game. "I will speak to Manchester United. I will try to reach an agreement and we will see." "In the coming days there might be news," Ronaldo added. "The possibilities are great, but it does not depend on me.
"I think there is a specific proposal, let's see if we reach agreement in the coming days." Though when asked if he had made a decision regarding a move to Real Madrid, he replied: "No, not yet."
Ronaldo dominates the newspapers today, although The Sun does claim Dutch international Rafael van der Vaart has told United and Chelsea to call off transfer talks until Holland’s Euro 2008 campaign has finished.
“Everybody knows I am willing to consider a move,” van der Vaart said, “but my main focus is purely on the national team.”

Cristiano Ronaldo: I Want to Join Real Madrid

Cristiano Ronaldo: I Want to Join Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo has rocked United by insisting: I want to join Real Madrid. The Portuguese winger dropped his bombshell on the eve of the European championships. He will be offered incredible wages of £75million after tax over five years and the Spaniards are also prepared to pay a £75m transfer fee. Ronaldo, 23, told respected Brazilian website Terra: “I would like to play for Real Madrid but only if it is true they are ready to pay what Manchester United ask of them. However, it does not depend on me.” The loss of Ronaldo would be a huge blow to United and defender Rio Ferdinand immediately pleaded with him to stay at Old Trafford. He said: “This team can get better but we need it to stay together.” Rio, in Nigeria promoting Education in Football, added: “We have worked hard to get to the position we are in and want to build on the success we have had. That means keeping all the players at the club."

In other news, new Manchester City boss Mark Hughes wants to make the Blues as big as their red rivals from down the road. “The ambition is to challenge the top clubs — not just in the Premier League, but in Europe," he said.

The Sun claims he and Sir Alex Ferguson are both chasing Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz. “The interest from United is real," the striker is quoted as saying. "But I’m busy now so my representatives will handle anything if there is a concrete offer.”

The Daily Mail report that United have told Sunderland they will not let them sign centre-back Jonny Evans permanently until they have sufficient defensive cover, after selling Gerard Pique.

Quote, Unquote: Manchester United, The New Kings of Europe

Quote, Unquote:Manchester United, The New Kings of Europe
For some players it was the first time, for others it was the second occasion... for all, winning the European Cup is a magical moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo
"We showed this season that we are the best team in Europe and in England and it’s a great feeling. Next season we will try to do the same. I feel very proud. It means everything to me - it is the happiest day of my life."

Nemanja Vidic
"The game against Manchester City [which marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash] was very disappointing. But I think we made up for it in Moscow and by winning the league. We gave the fans what they wanted."

Edwin van der Sar
"Of course, nights like this are what you dream of. It’s been 13 years – a long time – since I last won the competition and it feels fantastic, especially in the way we won it. Saving the last penalty... I don't have any words for it. What can I say? It's great."

Rio Ferdinand
"I said before the game that you’re only really considered a great player at this club when you win the Champions League. A lot of top players have played for United, but becoming a European champion sets you apart from others."

Cristiano Ronaldo quashed rumours that he could join Real Madrid this summer
On a night of European glory, Cristiano Ronaldo gave Reds fans even more reason to celebrate when he quashed rumours that he could join Real Madrid this summer by pledging his future to United.
When asked by a TV reporter whether he would be leaving the club with which he has already achieved so much in his short career, Ronaldo gave the emphatic reply all Reds fans wanted to hear.

No, no, no. I’m going to stay,” he said.

It was a fitting end to an emotional night for the Portuguese winger who opened the scoring in the 26th minute, but then missed his spot-kick in the dramatic penalty shoot-out.

Ryan Giggs Takes United to be a Champions

Ryan Giggs Takes United to be a Champions
Ryan Giggs couldn’t contain his delight having scored the goal that sealed United’s tenth Premier League crown.

But the Reds’ winger, who was a second-half substitute for Ji-sung Park, says doing it in a game where he equalled Sir Bobby Charton’s appearance record is a mere aside.

“It feels great,” he said of his record-extending tenth title. “I’m not bothered about individual records, this is what it’s all about – championships.

“We knew it would be a tough game, and it was. We did well in the first half and got that first goal. Then it was a case of holding on.”

Ryan Giggs Takes United to be a Champions
Giggs’ goal nine minutes from time ended any hopes of a late Wigan intervention, and it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving player.

“It was a great goal just to settle us down,” added the Welshman. “We felt a little more comfortable after that.”

The 34-year-old is now targeting a double in Moscow a week on Wednesday. The Reds travel to the Russian capital to take on Chelsea in the Champions League final, and Giggs says: “Winning the league feels great, and hopefully we can win another trophy in ten days’ time.”

Chelsea Await Manchester United in Final

Chelsea Await Manchester United in Final
Manchester United will face Chelsea in the 2007/08 Champions League final, after Avram Grant's side overcame Liverpool in a five-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge.
With the scores already locked at 1-1 from last week's first leg, goals either side of half-time from Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres took the second leg to extra time.
Michael Essien had a goal contentiously disallowed for the hosts, before Frank Lampard put Chelsea ahead from the penalty spot.
The tie was seemingly put to bed when Drogba lashed in a second from Nicolas Anelka's pull-back, but Liverpool substitute Ryan Babel struck from long range.
Chelsea saw out a nervous few minutes, though, to advance 4-3 on aggregate and ensure that they and United will now do battle over the coming three weeks for both the Premier League and Champions League trophies.

Paul Scholes Takes Manchester United Goes to Final

Paul Scholes Takes Manchester United Goes to Final
This was not a match for the faint-hearted. The excitement and anticipation before it, the jubilant celebrations after Scholes' 14th-minute strike, and the fretting and nail-biting that accompanied the tense final few moments (six minutes of injury-time included). But it was also an excellent semi-final tie, full of attacking endeavor, and no shortage of drama.
The Reds were dealt a real blow before the game when Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney were ruled out. Vidic hadn’t recovered after losing a tooth in a challenge with Didier Drogba against Chelsea on Saturday, while a persistent hip problem denied Rooney his part.
Semi-finals can be occasions that demand supporters are on their game as much as players, and the scarf-swinging Red Army didn't let anyone down. The fans cheered each passing move, every tackle won, even throw-ins as if it were a winning goal. With such an occasion, it was no surprise that the first 10 minutes were fraught and frenetic. But as the dust settled, Barcelona did as the European away manual would dictate: they attempted to keep the ball, silence the support and frustrate United’s players.
The Reds, seeking to use Ronaldo as an outlet on the break, were subsequently sure not to sit on the lead. After 25 minutes, the Portuguese winger’s pull-back found Ji-sung Park on the edge of the box, and his side-footed shot was desperately close to doubling the lead. At the other end, Deco twice went close from long-range, while Nani headed agonizingly wide from Park’s pinpoint cross. The tie ebbed and flowed in a first-half that highlighted two clubs built to attack.
The six minutes of injury time, which followed a delay after Patrice Evra suffered a head wound, seemed like an age. But United defended bravely, valiantly, and finally held out.
The Reds have had more than a fair share of semi-final disappointments under Sir Alex. But this wasn't to be one of them, as the fans emptied the stadium singing: "Follow, follow, follow... United are going to Moscow."
