All four players appeared for Uniteds first team during pre-season. Gibson, Simpson and Evans were heavily involved in the Clubs South Africa tour, while Campbell scored the winning goal against Macclesfield at Moss Rose.

It [pre-season] has gone okay from a personal point of view and I'm just looking forward to starting the season now. Fulham are an awkward team to play against as they play good football. We've had some tough games against them over the years, especially at Old Trafford, and there's no doubt it's going to be a tough opening game. Hopefully we can get through it with a win." --------------------------------- [8] Fergie on Fulham --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, August 19, 2006 by ed: "I think Fulham will have a go on Sunday because they've got a great philosophy under Chris Coleman. They have good height in their team which could be a problem for us. Their front two [McBride and Helguson] in particular are very good headers of the ball so they have a threat goal-wise. But hopefully we'll be ready." --------------------------------- [7] Fergie on Heinze --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, August 19, 2006 by ed: "It's not quite what it should be. Gabby's therefore going to do some work in the gym over the next three weeks to build up the quadriceps. He did very well to get himself fit enough to take part in the World Cup after being out for so long, but I think he stretched himself and the consequences are he's not fully ready for us." --------------------------------- [6] Fergie on not kicking ball out --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, August 19, 2006 by ed: "It is a common sense decision because the situation had gone beyond being abused, it was actually being turned into a form of cheating. I saw a situation last week when a team was defending a free-kick, the ball was headed down, it went to the attacking team and immediately someone went down holding their head. The player in possession was 25 yards from goal and could have had a shot but the crowd started booing, so he knocked the ball out for a throw-in. We should leave it to the referee to decide whether the injury is genuine or not. You can tell whether it is a serious head knock, or, in the case of someone like Alan Smith, whether the injury is serious. If it is, you stop the game but we had got to the situation where players were going down so their team could recover their positions." --------------------------------- [5] Fergie on diving --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, August 19, 2006 by ed: "We all agree the diving problem has started since foreign players came into our country but make no mistake about it, English players do it too. It has become a disease and we want to see it eradicated too."

In a statement on their official website, Bayern claimed to have unequivocally informed United that Hargreaves is not for sale, adding that the England midfield player must see out the remaining four years of his contract. The German club also said that there will be no future talks on the matter, but, despite an apparent breakdown in direct communication between the clubs, United continued to investigate the matter yesterday through a third party. Nor, it emerged last night from within Old Trafford, has Ferguson given up on signing a centre forward before the transfer window closes on August 31. Fernando Torres, of Atlético Madrid, remains a target, although many obstacles will have to be overcome for that deal to take place. Hargreaves, at least, is within Uniteds sights and, contrary to Bayerns statement, a meeting had been planned between officials from the clubs in Munich on Sunday. It is uncertain whether that meeting will take place, but, having been encouraged to believe on Thursday that an agreement was close on a £17 million fee, United believe that the deal has developed an almost unstoppable momentum, with Hargreaves having made clear his desire to move to Manchester. Bayerns statement yesterday was echoed by strong words from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the chairman, and Uli Hönness, the general manager. We are not even prepared to talk to any other club about releasing Hargreaves early from his contract, Rummenigge said. Hönness said that you can offer 50 million (about £34 million) for Owen Hargreaves but we will not let him go. Ferguson, whose team take on Fulham at Old Trafford in their opening Barclays Premiership match tomorrow lunchtime, had sounded cautiously optimistic about his chances of signing the 25-year-old. We have been trying to negotiate with Bayern Munich for a while now and the boy has said he would like to join United and wed like to have him here, the manager said.It is in [chief executive] David Gills capable hands. We are dealing with a big club in Bayern Munich, but hopefully we can get something done. Ferguson, having shown no more than passing interest in Hargreaves in the past, said that he had been attracted by the players newfound maturity over the past 12 months, when he has emerged as a fundamental player for England as well as Bayern. For now, though, with Michael Carrick injured and Tomasz Kuszczak merely a reserve goalkeeper, United will take on Fulham without any new faces in their starting line-up. It is a situation that is troubling many supporters particularly given the sale of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid but apparently not Ferguson. I would have liked to have got a striker in, but theres no one out there, the manager said. The one contender is Torres, the subject of a firm inquiry three weeks ago, but completing that transfer seems improbable before the transfer window closes. Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes will serve a three-game suspension after tomorrows game, a situation that has angered United after the FA rejected appeals against their red cards in the LG Amsterdam Tournament. Im not so much disappointed as surprised, Ferguson said. The FA told us nothing was going to happen to Wayne. I do not know what has happened in between them telling us that and reaching the decision. --------------------------------- [2] Over for Senna --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: from SKY 'Villarreal have stated that Marcos Senna will not be joining Manchester United as the Spanish side have lost patience with The Red Devils' after their lengthy pursuit of the World Cup midfielder. United had been chasing the 30-year-old for a large portion of the summer but never managed to close a deal, and now the Yellow Submarines have ended negotiations with Sir Alex Ferguson's side. The Premiership outfit were given until the end of Friday to tie up a deal but with chief executive David Gill firmly engaged in their attempts to bring England international Owen Hargrevaes to Old Trafford it seems they have finally missed out on Senna's signature. The Brazilian born midfielder would have been allowed to leave the Spanish side should a suitable offer have been tabled, but with no such bid forthcoming Villarreal president Fernando Roig has drawn an end to the prolonged negotiations. Whilst confirming he had lost patience with United and that Senna would now stay at the club, the Villarreal supremo criticised the English giants for dragging their heels over a deal. "They've turned his head without bringing the matter to any conclusion," said Roig. "It isn't good for the relations between the clubs because people should behave in a more correct manner. "We waited until yesterday for them to finalise the conditions of the move. The player can wait longer but we can't and the case is now closed. "He will stay and we will have to see if he renews his contract or not." --------------------------------- [1] More Hargreaves speaking yesterday --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: "There's not much to say right now. I just came back to Bayern and I'm still here. I have a contract here for the next four years. We'll see how things develop in the coming days. I have a game this weekend and I'm a Munich player for the moment. But to have the opportunity to represent a club like Man United would be great for me, there's no doubt about that. Any player would be honoured." --------------------------------- [49] Bayern statement --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: 'The FC Bayern Munich AG board of directors wishes to release the following statement regarding a number of news stories and public statements in recent days concerning England international Owen Hargreaves: Bayern Munich has clearly informed its player Owen Hargreaves and his agent that the existing contract employing him at the club until 30 June 2010 will remain in force; Up to and including today, Bayern Munich has not held negotiations with Manchester United or with any other club. Furthermore, Bayern Munich does not intend entering transfer negotiations regarding Owen Hargreaves; Bayern Munich has today, Friday 18 August 2006, officially requested Manchester United to cease pursuing its interest in Owen Hargreaves. "Owen Hargreaves is an important player for FC Bayern Munich. Our plans for the future are based on him and other young international players, so we are not even prepared to talk to any other club about releasing Hargreaves early from his contract," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge commented.' --------------------------------- [48] Bayern quotes --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness "You can offer me 50 million euros for Owen Hargreaves but we will not let him go." The club's trainer, Felix Magath "He can climb to the top of Mount Everest and say whatever he wants but a contract with Bayern Munich is a contract. Basta! (enough)." --------------------------------- [47] New rules for 'injuries' during play --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: from PL FAIR PLAY CONVENTION FOR DEALING WITH INJURED PLAYERS WHILE GAME IS IN PROGRESS Player "injured" while ball in play: * PLAY ON unless referee stops play * Player receives attention * Player leaves field * Play re-started by drop ball * Ball returned to goalkeeper of team in possession at time referee stopped play If team of "injured" player kicks ball out of play: * Referee decides whether to allow player to receive attention * Play re-starts with a throw in as normal i.e. team taking throw in entitled to keep possession. --------------------------------- [46] FA lied to United, again? --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: Fergie on Rooney "I am not so much disappointed as surprised. The FA told us nothing was going to happen to Wayne and they were actually briefing people the same thing. I do not know what has happened in between them telling us that and reaching the decision. We are disappointed but we just have to get on with it. That is the nature of our club. In these situations it is down to the referee. You hope commonsense is going to prevail. Instead he has reported it, then it has gone through the official channels and the FA have decided to take it up. We have the players to cover and there is nothing we can do about it now but one thing is for sure, we will not be playing in the Amsterdam tournament again, you can bet your life on that." --------------------------------- [45] Guardian on 'ticket' system --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: 'Football supporters are crying foul over an online scheme launching today that enables Premiership club season ticket holders to resell unwanted match tickets to fellow fans. Supporters claim the 25% premium charged for the service is "disgusting" and "legalised touting". The company, Viagogo, has secured deals with Manchester United and Chelsea and wants to sign up other Premiership sides. It is the brainchild of Eric Baker, who started a similar business called StubHub in America. The company has financial backing from Lastminute co-founder Brent Hoberman and venture capital group Index Ventures, an early investor in online success stories Skype and Betfair. A spokesman for Manchester United Supporters Trust said: "There is an unwritten rule among our fans: you only sell on a ticket to another Red at face value, otherwise you're considered a tout and frowned upon." Viagogo pointed out that the unauthorised reselling of tickets, although widespread, is illegal. "We are bringing efficiency and transparency to what has traditionally been a murky marketplace," a spokesman said. Through Viagogo, Manchester United and Chelsea season ticket holders will be able to sell legally unwanted match tickets to One United and True Blue club members, all of whom must be registered. This avoids breaching anti-hooligan laws. Manchester United and Chelsea will benefit from the deal as Viagogo has signed up as a sponsor to both clubs, promising an undisclosed six-figure sum each year. Supporters' groups said they had long been calling for clubs to offer regulated reselling services, but believe they should be free. David Johnstone, editor of fanzine CFCUK, said: "If you walk down the Fulham Road on a Saturday Chelsea have been bending over backwards to help police crack down on touting. Now they're at it themselves." Mr Baker defended the 25% premium charged. "There are a lot of technical developments and ongoing costs which have to be covered. It's a service that really needs to be provided through an outsourced venture.' order anything through itunes from us var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/js/11703474/608750?' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);document.write(''); var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/img/11582233/608750?' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);document.write(' http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=608750&g=11582233 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news '); --------------------------------- [44] More Fergie on OH --------------------------------- Posted Friday, August 18, 2006 by ed: "I think his maturity and performances have improved in the past year. He's played against us on the right hand side, and at right back, he's matured into a midfielder.
