Manchester United cannot be defeated till 2058

Chelsea manager Scolari has got some wisdom. He stated Man Utd cannot be defeated till 2058 but forgot that Man Utd are invincible.

The words Of Scolari Himself - "It will take at least 50 years for any international football club to defeat Manchester United, Chelsea’s new manager Phil Scolari has said, embarrassing club CEO Peter Kenyon, who had earlier boasted that the Blues would be world beaters by 2014.


The club, which is bankrolled by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, is still a minnow compared to Manchester United and the Spanish club Real Madrid, The Sun quoted Scolari, as saying. 

“Maybe in 20 or 50 years Chelsea will be on that level. Chelsea is a growing name. Before it was Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Milan. But we are catching them up. Maybe it won’t be the same as them because our history is not the same. You don’t make history in one, two or even ten years,” Scolari added. 

“I want to make Chelsea loved around the world,” he said."

Words of SMJ - "Sorry but Chelsea are lacking farbehind. coz in 50 yrs Man Utd will reach the next level n may be chelsea will reach Man Utd's current level. haha. Chelsea loved just fuck off. Till there is a club like Man Utd no one will luv Chelsea. I bet u're Childrens n grand childrens are also Man Utd fan. Oh! one more thing Man Utd are better thanReal Madrid, Barcelona and Milan coz we won double. Real a lucky single but where do they get players from. Good players are of Man Utd. Barcelona trophyless. Inter Milan one silverware, AC not even in Champions League. Bullshit How are they close to Man Utd"

RUUD his place in Man Utd's History


Ruud van Nistelrooy's prolific goalscoring exploits have safeguarded his place in United folklore.

The Dutchman struck 110 goals in his first three seasons in Manchester. He overtook Denis Law's title as the club's all-time top scorer in European competition in his fourth term, and, in his fifth year at OT, reached 150 goals in under 200 starts. This record guarantees Old Trafford legend status, arguably the club's second-best striker behind the Lawman and possibly the greatest natural goalscorer the Premiership has ever seen.

United initially had to be patient to get their man. In July 1998, he marked his 22nd birthday by signing for PSV Eindhoven from Heerenveen for £4.2million, a then record Dutch fee. In two years Ruud notched 60 goals for PSV, alerting United.

So keen was Sir Alex to sign van Nistelrooy that he stayed in contact with the player as he recovered from a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained in training for PSV. That setback came days after failing a United medical in April 2000. He finally arrived on 23 April 2001 for £19m.

Reds got their first glimpse of van Nistelrooy in the 2001 Charity Shield against Liverpool at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. Liverpool won the game 2-1 but United fans exited the stadium highly content with what they had witnessed, specifically the way Ruud pounced on a ball from Ryan Giggs, rounded Kop keeper Sander 
Westerveld and slotted home with ease. It was a taste of things to come.
Van Nistelrooy's 36 goals in his debut season included 23 in the league, two in the FA Cup and an incredible 10 in Europe, as well as that Charity Shield strike. He was voted PFA Footballer of the Year, fitting recognition by his peers of the impact he had made on English football. He also struck up an immediate partnership with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – a close friend off the pitch – with the Norwegian contributing 25 goals to a stunning double-act. Those goals didn't secure United the Premiership title, the Reds finishing third behind Arsenal and Liverpool, but that was to change the following season.

Ruud's debut campaign total was incredibly eclipsed in 2002/03, scoring 25 league goals to inspire United to the title, with 13 goals in the final eight Premiership games of the season. This included two hat-tricks against Fulham and Charlton, a double against Liverpool and a crucial strike in the 2-2 away to United's nearest challengers Arsenal. Van Nistelrooy’s love affair with the Champions League continued, scoring an incredible 14 times in ten games as United progressed to the quarter-finals before losing out at that stage to Real Madrid.

Another 30 goals followed in his third term, including a series of landmark strikes: the goal against Stuttgart in December 2003 that equalled Denis Law’s club European record, his 100th United goal away to Everton in February 2004 and his two goals in the FA Cup final win over Millwall. Injuries hampered his 2004/05 campaign, but he still managed 16 goals in 27 appearances and was the Champions League's top scorer with eight goals, passing Law's European record in the match against Lyon in September 2004.

Unfortunately, 2005/06 was also tempered with disappointment. By December Ruud had bagged 17 goals in 26 starts, but the return to form and fitness of Louis Saha saw him edged out of the side. Van Nistelrooy was an unused substitute in the Carling Cup final and was left out of the match with Charlton on the final day of the season, with Sir Alex citing issues around "the spirit of the club" as the reason for his exclusion.

It emerged that van Nistelrooy had asked for a transfer request and after protracted negotiations hindered by the World Cup finals, Ruud finally signed for Real Madrid on 28 July 2006. His United career may be over but his contribution to the club will never be forgotten.


Ruud's top 10


Following the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid, we look back on the Dutch striker's finest goals. Picking 10 from 150 is no mean feat but here, in chronological order, are the first five...

Vs Deportivo La Coruna (UEFA Champions League) 17/10/01
Having given United the lead with an early toe-poke past Depor goalkeeper Jose Molina, Ruud saw his hard work undone as the Spaniards scored twice in two minutes to turn the game on its head. Undeterred, the Dutchman promptly notched his second Champions League goal in Red, forcing his way to the byline before arcing a beautiful chip over the thoroughly thrown Molina. Trademark madness from Fabien Barthez allowed Deportivo to leave Old Trafford with the points, but Ruud had served notice of his intent to terrorise Europe with United.

Vs Southampton (FA Barclays Premiership) 22/12/01
Three days before Christmas, Ruud took advantage of festively generous defending from the Saints to plunder his first United hat-trick. Undoubtedly the finest strike was his first, controlling a long crossfield ball from Paul Scholes before lashing venomously into Paul Jones’ bottom corner. Further strikes, one plundered from close range, the other slid clinically inside the post, gave the Dutchman the match ball. With Ruud in this form and only 30 seconds gone, Saints were fortunate to end up losing only 6-1.

Vs FC Basel (UEFA Champions League) 26/11/02
Undoubtedly one of the most jaw-dropping United goals of recent years. Logic and physics were cast aside as Sir Alex’s favourite predator won the ball near the corner flag, weaved into the area and lashed a powerful shot into the far corner from virtually the Basel byline. It was the Dutchman’s second strike in two minutes, having earlier headed United level, and the most glaring evidence that he was becoming the continent’s deadliest striker.


Vs Fulham (FA Barclays Premiership) 22/03/03
Ruud made a career as United’s fox-in-the-box, but this goal against Charlton was the antithesis of every tap-in he ever scored. Picking the ball up in the centre circle, he shook off the attentions of Sylvain Legwinski before advancing on goal. Always in control of the ball despite charging at great speed, van Nistelrooy soon had two defenders trailing in his wake. After bypassing a third – Andy Melville – the Dutchman quickly opened up his body and slid the ball past goalkeeper Maik Taylor, who didn't have time to blink, let alone dive, due to the early nature of the shot. Ruud names it as his favourite United goal, and it’s hard to disagree.

Vs Arsenal (FA Barclays Premiership) 16/04/03
The stakes were never higher. On a decisive, title-in-the-balance night at Highbury, van Nistelrooy set the ball rolling for United to claim a vital point which kept them in pole position. After neat interplay with Ryan Giggs on the left touchline the Dutchman nutmegged Sol Campbell, outsprinted Martin Keown and lifted the ball delicately over Stuart Taylor. A couple of snidey Gunners goals and a Giggs equaliser later, the road was paved for United to get their trophy back.
Vs Charlton Athletic (FA Barclays Premiership) 03/05/03
Firmly in the title ascendancy and with game running out, United knew a win over Charlton would heap more pressure on Arsenal to match their form. With nine goals in his previous seven Premiership games, Ruud’s sensational form didn’t bode well for the Addicks. Two smart first-half finishes were eclipsed by his third, a razor-sharp control and volley from David Beckham’s 50-yard crossfield ball. A 4-1 win for United, coupled with the Gunners’ subsequent home defeat to Leeds 24 hours later, handed the Dutchman his only Premiership winners’ medal.

Vs Everton (FA Barclays Premiership) 07/02/04
What an afternoon. A double from new signing Louis Saha and Ruud’s 100th United strike had put United into a seemingly unassailable three goal lead at the interval. Time to see out the game without any unnecessary trouble. Or not. Cue an aerial bombardment from Everton’s lanky troops, and suddenly parity was restored. Having drawn level, however, the hosts’ threat waned and United began chasing a winner. When it finally came, in the last minute, it was a thing of beauty. A stunning right wing cross from Ronaldo gave Ruud the chance to bullet home an unstoppable header and save face in the most dramatic fashion.

Vs Lyon (UEFA Champions League) 15/09/04
United’s faltering start to the 2004/05 season was thanks in no small part to the machine. This, his first start of the season, looked set to continue in the same vein as the French champions established a two-goal lead. Shortly after the interval, however, Ruud shook off the cobwebs and headed a crucial, landmark strike. Not only did it set the scene for United to steal a point (guess who scored the equaliser), it also nudged Ruud ahead of Denis Law and made him United’s all-time top European goalscorer.


Vs Charlton Athletic (FA Barclays Premiership) 19/11/05
Narrowly beaten to United’s 2005/06 Goal of the Season award, the Dutchman’s incredible swivelling volley at the Valley will live long in the memory. Locked at 1-1 despite dominating the game, it looked like Sir Alex’s side needed a moment of magic to re-establish their lead. In fact, they needed two. Wayne Rooney’s slalom through the Charlton half took him past three Addicks players before he released the ball with a delightful flick to van Nistelrooy. Ruud’s fluid chest control, swivel and rocketing volley saw United back ahead in the blink of an eye.

Vs Bolton Wanderers (FA Barclays Premiership) 01/04/06
Could there be a more fitting demonstration of Ruud’s talents than his final United goal? As the Reds mounted a late title charge, they found themselves pushing for a crucial winner at the Reebok Stadium. John O’Shea’s slide-rule pass freed Louis Saha inside the area, and his pull-back was clinically converted by van Nistelrooy. Untraceable movement, immaculate timing and deadly finishing. Thanks, Ruud, for five years of just that.absence through injury of their Dutch goal

David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE

David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE (born May 2, 1975) is an English footballer who plays for Real Madrid. Named a member of Pelé's FIFA 100, he is one of the most famous players in the world, and considered a celebrity even outside the football world.

Beckham is the fifth most capped England player of all time, and in addition to being the only Englishman to score in three different World Cups, is also only the fifth player in World Cup history to score twice from direct free kicks. He was captain of the English national team from 15 November 2000 to 2 July 2006.

Beckham's career began when he signed a professional contract with Manchester United, making his first first-team appearance in 1992, at the age of 17. While with Manchester United he played a key role in their dominance of the FA Premier League, being pivotal in accomplishing The Treble of the League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League in 1999.

He left the club to become only the third Englishman to sign for Real Madrid in 2003, after Laurie Cunningham and Steve McManaman.

In 2006, after England's quarter-final exit at the World Cup in Germany, he stood down as captain and was then succeeded by Chelsea captain John Terry. Beckham was dropped from the England national team selected by coach Steve McClaren on 11 August 2006.

For Ireland, Roy Keane is what Eusebio is for Portugal, Hagi for Romania or Beckenbauer for Germany: a legendary player for whom there is no second thought regarding whether or not he is or isn't the best all time player of that country. But it's really hard to say who loves Roy Keane more: Ireland fans or Manchester United fans.
Since he played for Manchester for no less than 12 seasons and was there at most of the club's biggest successes (captaining the team for several seasons even), he earned an idol's aura on Old Trafford.
Full name

Youth YearsBorn in a suburb of Cork, Roy Keane first started playing soccer on the street at a very young age. Coming from a family that loved and valued sports and soccer especially, he was taken to local club Rockmount AFC's youth squad at age 8, where he had his first meeting with the grass he would play in for the next 30ish years.
After playing for 10 seasons for Rockmount AFC's different youth squads, his biggest break came when he participated in a Dublin youth cup, where English clubs would often send their scouts to find future talents.
One of these scouts was from Premiership team Nottingham Forest, where Roy Keane would be coached by one of his early mentors Brian Clough. It was Clough that helped him through the hard times of being away from his family for long durations and it was Clough that introduced Keane to the tough soccer played in England.
I loved reading Keane's memories and this quote over what Clough thought him remained in my mind: "Clough's advice to me before a game was: you get the ball and pass it to another player in a red shirt. That's really all I tried to do at both Nottingham Forest and Manchester United – pass and move – and I made a career out of it". Little did he know at that time that the red shirts from Forest will soon be traded for other red shirts, at Manchester United.

Cantona King

A French player of immense talent, but one whose temperament was unable to find its true home as he played for numerous teams in France during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Despite his difficulties, and his frequent brushes with the French football authorities, Cantona was acknowledged to be a truly brilliant player. He became established in the French national team, and won the French Championship with Olympique Marseille and the French Cup with Montpellier before his deciding that he could not pursue his art - for he is a true artist - in his homeland. He came to England (where as a French international he was initially offended at Sheffield Wednesday's offer of a trial), and in a brief stay at Leeds made a big impression as he helped them snatch the 1992 Championship. For Manchester United supporters this was a blow - the Championship had looked secure after a wait of 25 barren years. We knew Cantona had been the crucial factor - signed by Leeds as the season reached its deciding stage - and we knew he was a great player; but he was their player, he had destroyed our dreams, and we wished he had remained in France. I saw him play for his country around this time, against England at Wembley. It was before the 1992 title was decided, but as I watched him I wished he played for us. At the start of the following season, Cantona was again in brilliant form, while Manchester United were performing erratically. But behind the scenes things were not well at Leeds, and one morning in November 1992, we opened our newspapers to read that Eric Cantona had, sensationally, been transferred to Manchester United for the relatively modest fee of 1.2 million pounds. The over-riding emotion was of shock and confusion, but this was quickly replaced by anticipation and a willingness for him to succeed. We needed to win the Championship, and we needed a hero to deliver it to us. From his first minutes in a United shirt, it was clear that Cantona had brought a unique talent to Old Trafford. It was not simply the quality, and sheer art, witnessed in his own performances, but the evidence that he had infected the rest of the team to play in his image. He tried to please them, to coax them; they responded, wanting to show him that Manchester United played football the Cantona way, with art and skill and passion. Cantona turned a struggling team into Champions within a few short months. We had waited 26 years, but in 1993 the title was ours, and Cantona was the reason. He had turned a collection of very good players into a great team. We would have been grateful enough for that. If he had walked away at that moment - as the media predicted, perhaps hoped, that he would - we would have remained forever grateful. But undreamt of joys were to follow. Briefly, United retained the Championship in 1994, and also won the FA Cup, as Eric scored two penalties in the final. Those penalties, taken so calmly, so skilfully, and so decisively, sum up the talent and temperament of the man. He knows he is a great player. As he prepared to take the first penalty kick, a supporter next to me in the crowd refused to look, lest the chance should be missed. I urged her to have faith, not to lose the opportunity to entrust the moment to memory: 'It's Eric, he can't miss,' I promised. She watched. Eric did not let me down. It is likely that United would have won another Championship and Cup double in 1995 but for the fact that the team was deprived of the services of its greatest player for the last four months of the season. As the whole world knows, Eric was banned for several months after he attacked an abusive spectator in a match against Crystal Palace. Millions of words - including a couple of books - have been devoted to that episode, and little more remains to be said. Eric probably regrets his action, and most United supporters wish he hadn't done it. At the end of the day, it was United, and Eric, who suffered the consequences. The team finished second in the league (by just one point), and lost the Cup final 0-1. Surely Eric would have made all the difference. But ultimately it all served to add to the legend. His return from suspension in October 1995 saw him clinch a vital draw against Liverpool. After that his form was the best witnessed at Old Trafford for 25 years. He was outstanding as his goals won yet another League and Cup double for United in 1996. By the end of the season he had assumed the team captaincy, and scored the only goal of the Cup final before leading the team to receive the old trophy. Inevitably he was named Footballer of the Year by the sports writers, many of whom had argued for his exile only months before. More importantly, it was the final proof that in Manchester United Eric Cantona had found the home that had seemed so elusive in the troubled first half of his career. Remarkably, 1997 saw Eric Cantona achieve his fifth Championship in six English seasons, four with United in the last five years. The campaign was lit by examples of the genius of the Manchester United captain, who took pride in the growing up of his young team. They no longer had to rely so heavily on him, but he remained their idol, and the hero of the fans. Then Eric dropped the bombshell. There had been some speculation about his future, and it seemed that a number of European clubs were keen to sign him, but on the morning of Sunday 18th May 1997 when United announced there would be a press conference later that day, no one suspected the outcome. I happened to be passing Old Trafford when the announcement was made; a crowd of several hundred had gathered, but there was silence as people tried to take in the news. Eric Cantona had announced his complete retirement from football, one week short of his thirty-first birthday. It would be foolish to overdramatise the retirement of a footballer, even one as great as Cantona, and after a few days United supporters had taken stock of events, whilst trying to understand the reasons for Eric's decision. Although even the greatest Cantona fans were disappointed at the lack of a substantial explanation from the player (who had disappeared to France), it was generally agreed that Eric Cantona had left with our thanks, and would be welcome upon his return. Perhaps it was inevitable that his departure would be as dramatic as his presence. In the end, Cantona had delivered glory beyond expectation to Manchester United, and he had been rewarded with immense loyalty and support throughout his stay. Cantona had been great for United; United had been great for Cantona. Farewell Eric, and fare thee well. Two days before his retirement I had seen Eric Cantona's last match for United - a benefit game in Coventry for the injured Coventry City defender David Busst. Cantona had been the best player on the pitch, and scored United's two goals: the quintessential Cantona penalty (deliberate and calmly placed), and a neat downward header (see pictures below). I'm glad I was there. It was not until 18 August 1998, over a year after his retirement, that United supporters were able to bid Eric Cantona a fitting farewell. He returned to Old Trafford to appear in a benefit match for the survivors and dependants of victims of the 1958 Munich air disaster. Old Trafford was packed to the rafters as 56,000 people remembered Munich, and paid tribute to Cantona's contibution to the United story. After the game Eric addressed the crowd, and was given a hero's reception. See below for more details on the occasion (pictures will be added soon). Eric's stay in Boothstown coincided with the 1994/95 season and the Crystal Palace incident, when he was captain of the French national team and one of the most recognisable sports stars in Europe. The whole village was buzzing with the news that he had come to live among 'ordinary' people, rather than hiding away in the exclusivity of the stockbroker belt. But it was not such a shock since he had lived modestly in Leeds, and had stayed in a Worsley motel before bringing his family across the Pennines. In the end we became accustomed to seeing him driving down the street. I had the opportunity to speak to Eric Cantona outside my house during his most traumatic period, but on learning that I supported United he showed his usual friendliness. He was known among the supporters for understanding the importance of spending a few moments with them and, despite his superstar status, being the most approachable of all the players in the team. During his troubles, journalists (who became an unwelcome intrusion) camped outside his house seeking uncomplimentary stories, though I never heard a bad word spoken about him. Eric eventually left his rented house, and left us with some good memories. It isn't often that Boothstown becomes home to one so famous, but Eric Cantona was more than a celebrity, he was a genuine folk-hero.
