Edwin: I didn’t know what great years I’d have with United

Manchester United will face the MLS All-Stars in July as part of the club's 2011 pre-season tour to the USA. Full details of all US tour games, including opposition and ticket details, will be announced on Tuesday by Sir Alex Ferguson at a special media event in the United States and also on ManUtd.com. The All-Star game, sponsored by AT&T, will take place at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey on Wednesday 27 July (kick-off: 20:30 local time).

However, one potential barrier to Sneijder’s transfer could be the tough stance taken by Internazionale president Massimo Moratti, who said recently of United’s reported interest in his star player: ...

Posted also in Manchester United News The United youngster currently on loan at Sunderland, Danny Welbeck, is going to give his future at Old Trafford a good dose of thinking about. The striker has proven a big hit at the Stadium of Light this season while on loan with Steve Bruce’s club and he has no doubt benefitted from playing first team football. But the England Under-21 international has now hinted that his long-term future could lie away from Old Trafford as the prospect of returning to training without being guaranteed a place in the first team is not a good one for the player. "I've not really thought too much about what I'm going to do, but I've really enjoyed my time at Sunderland," said Welbeck to the Press Association. "It has benefited me massively, just to be around with the big boys week in, week out. I'm delighted with that, but the end of the season will be the time to sit down and think about the future. "I'm like anyo...
