DESTINATION: OLD TRAFFORD

Yesterday, Zlatan Ibrahimovic revealed on instagram that he is officially transferring to Manchester United, for free! He was also featured on a dramatic video by Manchester United with red smoke and everything where he said "it's Zlatan time." 

Another transfer that has been leaked is the transfer of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Manchester United FC store reportedly leaked shirts of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, already. The shirts are found here. But we all know that these transfers are all going to happen anyway and I am really really excited. If you look at the comparisons between Henrikh's stats at Dortmund to Gundogan who played for Dortmund also, alongside the Armenian and transferred to Manchester City this summer, the comparison is phenomenal. 

Sometimes us Manchester United fans underestimate how big this club is. We are able to bring in superstars whereas our rival clubs only bring half good half bad players. 

TRANSFER OFFER ACCEPTED?

Reports how that Manchester United will sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan for 40 million euros. The Armenian midfielder has only got one year left on his contract, and recently his agent has been expressing their desires to sign for Manchester United.  If the reports are 100%, which I think probably is, he would have an immediate medical at the club as the Armenian national team were unable to participate in the Euros in France.

So what would we be getting? Henrikh Mkhitaryan played a very vital role for Borussia Dortmund last season, helping the German club to attain second position in the Bundesliga. Here are some of his stats from last season:

1. 52 games
2. 32 assists
3. 23 goals

Those are unbelievable stats, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan can add to the creativity of the team, supplying our strikers and attackers. Ilkay Gundogan also played for Borussia Dortmund alongside Mkhitaryan, before his departure to Manchester City this summer. Here are his stats:

1. 40 games
2. 3 goals
3. 7 assists

Look at the difference! The Manchester derby continues to fire up!

ZLATAN WANTS REVENGE

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent, Mino Raiola has revealed that the Swedish striker wants revenge on Pep Guardiola who is taking over of Manchester City next season in the Barclays Premier League.

Whilst the former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were both at the club, the pair fell out for whatever reason. Manchester United's manager Jose Mourinho, is not a fan of Pep either. Could this be a rejuvenation of the rivalry between the two clubs.

We look forward indeed to the Manchester derby next season, but who do you think will be on top?

CHANGE OF PLANS?

I personally don't want Louis Van Gaal to leave Manchester United, but, guys, wouldn't it be cool if Jose Mourinho joined with Manchester United to heat up the Manchester derby next season! Manchester United vs Manchester City and Jose Mourinho vs Pep Guardiola. Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola never got on in Spain when Jose was manager over Real Madrid and Pep over Barcelona. If Jose Mourinho joined, the Premier League would be more exciting than ever before! But there is another alternative.

Sir Alex's assistant manager, Carlos Queiroz. Carlos Queiroz was responsible for most of the big signings at Manchester United in the past such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Nani, Anderson (When he was good), etc. the list goes on. This guy knows his football so well. What players to sign. He is the one who made the Ronaldo we know now get to where he is. He is the one that made him grow! Sir Alex loved this guy and I think he will be superb! He carried the Iran National team into the 2014 World Cup and managed to concede only one goal against Argentina in the 90th minute of the match. Phenomenal! Unfortunately though, Carlos Queiroz has a contract for the National Team till the 2018 World Cup. But wouldn't he be great!

SIR ALEX FERGUSON REVEALS WHY MANCHESTER UNITED DIDN'T SIGN DAVID SILVA!

Sir Alex Ferguson said that he had considered signing David Silva from Valencia, however he found a major flaw in hs game. A lack of defensive contribution, which is absolutely ridiculous and the biggest mistake the legend could ever have made. David Silva is recognised as one of the most outstanding playmakers in Europe. He's a double league champion at Manchester City, and World Cup and European Championship with Spain. He joined City for £24 million back in 2010, what a bargain! The question is: Juan Mata or David Silva?

MANCHESTER UNITED HANDED TITLE BOOST!

Manchester United have been handed a huge boost after close rivals Manchester City suffer from crucial injuries including David Silva and Sergio Aguero who is out for a month. However, not all the weight has been lifted, Manchester United have tough fixtures ahead including Everton away and Manchester City. Also one of our key players, Bastian Schweinsteiger has suffered from injury which only lasts for 2-3 days, a key player in the midfield. It's going to be interesting how the rest of the season goes through!

TRANSFER NEWS

This week Manchester United, Tottenham and Manchester City sent scouts to observe Bruno Martins Indi at the match between Porto and Chelsea where Chelsea were defeated 2-1 according to "Portuguese publication O Jogo." Martins Indi represented the Dutch national at the World Cup a year ago under the rulership of Louis Van Gaal and is a player that can play as a Centre Back of Defense but preferably plays as a Left Back. Martins Indi could be the best replacement for the injured Luke Shaw. Who would you like to replace the
injured Luke Shaw?
Manchester United are also interested in signing Hakan Calhanoglu according to Tutto Mercato Web. Apparently Manchester United are looking to sign the Bayer Leverkusen ace in january and have also made a bid of £30 million. The 21 year old is a free kick legend.

DUTCH YOUNG-STAR

Manchester United have gained interested in promising dutch defender Jerry St. Juste. The 18 year old caught the attention by the eye of United scouts as the youngster featured in the game between Heerenveen and PSV. Not only did the defender just impress in that particular game, but so far this season this guy has been impressive! And needs to be signed up quickly, fast, now! Before Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester City steal him! You watching Van Gaal? And you Ed!

WIN MEANT A LOT

The great 3-2 victory over Southampton, reactions from the players include. Firstly Anthony Martial scores two against The Saints away from home and winning Man of the Match. He truly defines the forward position. Anthony Martial has scored 3 goals in 3 games for Manchester United and is getting better and better! Juan Mata said that he has dedicated that victory to Luke Shaw who has completed his surgeries and is now recovering. Louis Van Gaal praised the performance of the team and believes that Manchester United could challenge for the title. However I personally wasn't too impressed by the defence. Manchester United are just two points behind rivals Manchester City sitting in 2nd place.

PEDRO AGREES PERSONAL TERMS WITH MANCHESTER UNITED

Pedro has agreed personal terms with Manchester United despite interest shown from rivals Manchester City, why not? However Manchester United still need to come to terms with Barcelona. It is understood that Barcelona have a release clause for the Spanish winger of £21.2 million and Ed Woodward is in Barcelona. The deal is very close to be finalised. Pedro adds pace and experience winning every cup and trophy possible for both Barcelona and Spanish National team.

WE BAG OUR OWN WONDERKID THEN - INDY BOONEN

Manchester United announce the signing of belgian wonderkid Indy Boonen from Genk aged 16! The belgian youngy was also approached by Manchester City, Arsenal, Feyenoord and Wolfsburg but chose Manchester United in favour, GOOD LAD! He signed his first ever professional contract with Manchester United for three years that is until he's 19. Manchester United are also tracking his younger brother Seppe who is 13 and plays as a goalkeeper. From the picture you can see that he is a great fan of Adnan and would hopefully follow his footsteps of becoming a Manchester United legend and not an Anderson!

   

WILFRIED ZAHA PERMANENT MOVE TO CRYSTAL PALACE

Wilfried Zaha failed to impress at Manchester United and was loaned to Crystal Palace. But now, on deadline day, Wilfried Zaha has completed a permanent move to Cry

stal Palace. The winger has only made four appearances at Manchester United and i am happy that he left. If he had stayed his career would have been wrecked. It's a horrible loss because big teams were in for him including Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal etc. and he's a tremendous player. Please stayed tuned for any other transfer news this deadline day and we wish all the best for Wilfried Zaha on his 5.5 year deal contract!

MANCHESTER UNITED SIGN TRIALIST - YAY.

Manchester United sign 20 year old Sadiq El Fitouri from Salford City. Hardly anyone knows anything about the player such as how good he is but what we do know is that he previously played for Manchester City and Salford City. Salford City is a team which is owned by the legendary Paul Scholes and Phil Neville. So he has to be good! In fact the two owners even lent the defender a debut for the first team earlier this month when the team faced Kendall Town. He could be a secret gem for the future.

Manchester United defence - another blow

Manchester United suffer another blow as Argentine defender Marcos Rojo suffers a dislocated shoulder. Marcos Rojo suffered the injury from a challenge made on Martin Demichelis during the match between Manchester City. The injury means that the defender will be out for three months! Another blow to the defence yesterday was a red card given to Chris Smalling which calls him off for the upcoming matches. Paddy, Tyler are you ready?

Marouane Fellaini escapes punishment

I personally don't know exactly what happened during the Manchester United vs Manchester City clash Marouane Fellaini was pictured spitting on Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero whilst on the ground for some reason. The FA when studying the incident didn't see anything deliberate. The belgian just escaped from punishments that would've been issued to the midfielder.

More News...

Good result yesterday. But guess who was watching the game yesterday. Victor Valdes who will be signed after his knee injury has been recovered. He was alongside Paddy McNair, Johnny Evans and Wayne Rooney who might make a return back to the first team as we face Manchester City next week. The striker will be returning from a suspension he picked up from a previous game.
Now Robin Van Persie scored the last minute goal for Manchester United as we all know, but Louis Van Gaal weren't really impressed by the celebration. It involved him taking off his shirt which resulted with him picking up a yellow card.
Louis Van Gaal changed James Wilson's kit number from 47 to 49 and I was thinking why? James Wilson said: 'as I'm a striker Louis Van Gaal wanted me to have a number with the number nine in it and 49 was the closest to it.' Ermm... 29. Okay!
