    With Giggs having been named the new coach for Wales, there is now talk that he's going to try to get Scholes to join his staff as an assistant as well.

    Interesting interview with Anderson. The way he talks you'd think he was a huge success during his time here when many see him as a giant disappointment. But, I guess that's just his personality.

    Also, it's interesting how he talks about LVG. Basically says that everyone wanted out when he took over and that his tactics and instructions in training were ridiculous.

    When you think of where he came from any career as a professional footballer is a success. Much less a career where he was a Champions League winner and played with one of the best players to ever play the game (Ronaldo). He has winners medals and momento's galore from his career.

    He may not have made his ceiling, but he did have a hell of a career, all things considered.

    I bet Steven Gerrard would trade for it in a heartbeat...

    He never reached the highs he was expected to or should have reached individually, but he was part of a great United team that was very successful.
    It's a pity that because of injuries, but also his lack of ambition when it comes to the game, he never became the player he was supposed to be.
    The talent was clearly there: the way he handled and dominated Gerrard and Fabregas respectively in his first season as an 18yr old kid, is still incredible.
    If he had just half the drive Ronaldo had, he could have become a very good player. Just wasn't to be unfortunately and never came close to fulfilling his potential.

    I get that, but given what he flashed at Porto which was a player with ELITE potential, it's a shame that he didn't have the drive or work ethic to fulfill that potential. Injuries and being played out of position played a part as well, but damn he could've been good.

    You aren't wrong at all. I'm simply commenting on the humble origins of Anderson and trying to look at it through his eyes. I'd hardly consider myself a failure by any means either.

    United doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo really wants return.

    www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/3349941/man-united-doubt-reports-cristiano-ronaldo-return-sources

    I imagine this hasn't been touched on, as this is becoming a running joke at this point (Ronaldo having a strop and claiming he wants to go back to United).
    But more than simply not believing it, United should not even entertain this in the least, at this juncture.
    Ronaldo will be 33 soon, is in very poor form at the moment. And that's even before we consider the financial aspect of any move for him (which makes this completely impossible anyway).
    The Ronaldo ship has sailed and it's kind of becoming annoying that he'd use the club this way, everytime he faces off with Real...

    I'd have him back on a free. Let him retire here.

    Ronaldo checking the moneymaker after getting hit, as he scores for Real.

    www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42768335

    All joking aside though, his bravery and willingness to go in on pretty tough/dangerous headers in particular, is a quality I always loved and respected in Ronaldo.

    Premier League Channel made a special about our own Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    I would urge all to give it a watch. One of my all time favorite players 2Olegend.

    Phil Neville is burning on twitter. He might get fired in less then 24 hours from getting the job.
