Finally Fellaini living up to his reputation

A great display from Fellaini amongst others yesterday versus the baggies gives many Utd fans hope we've got the player everyone (even the disappointed when we signed him) thought we were buying, a strong, combative CM who can also add to the goal tally. 

It's still early days from his injury layoff so we can't shout about him to loudly yet, but a strong end to the season from him and the team, plus the inclusion of the 4 or 5 world class players everyone talks about us getting and Utd will be back challenging.

United close to £600m Kit Deal with Nike

The Red Devils have secured an extension to their arrangement with the American sportswear giant and it's nearly TREBLE their current deal

Manchester United are set to announce a world-record kit deal worth more than £600million.
The faltering Premier League champions will make a major statement that proves they are still the biggest name in world football by renewing an arrangement with shirt manufacturers Nike.

It will bank United more than £60million-a-year over the course of a decade-long agreement.
That is almost double the current best kit manufacturing deal, which sees Real Madrid earn £31million from their arrangement with adidas.
United currently have a deal with Nike worth £23.5million-a-season - less than Real, Arsenal, Barcelona and Liverpool.

But that 13-year agreement expires next year and, while the figures being demanded by the Old Trafford club were exceptional, there was no shortage of interest. Puma, Warrior and adidas all emerged to challenge Nike, but the Amercan giants were determined that United would not escape from their portfolio.

With a £35million-a-year short sponsorship deal with Chevrolet set to kick in next season , it is clear that United can ride out the financial problems caused by a failure to finish in the top four this season.

The two new cash streams will provide David Moyes with significant funds to challenge for the top players with sheer financial muscle, even if United drop out of the European elite.

RVP Out if Utd can get Cavanni In

Manchester United will let Robin van Persie leave Old Trafford this summer – if they can land Paris Saint-Germain star Edinson Cavani.

Van Persie, who has had to deny rumours of a rift with United boss David Moyes, cut a forlorn figure when taken off in the second half of the 3-0 win at West Brom yesterday.

His comments earlier this month that other players take his space did not go down well with team-mates.

And now Moyes is ready to cut his losses on the Dutchman, who has looked a shadow of the player who fired United to the title last season.

Van Persie cost United £24million when he moved from Arsenal and United would be looking to recoup £15m – although they may be lucky to get that for a 30-year-old.

Another stumbling block is the ­salary of £180,000 a week pocketed by the striker, who is only halfway through a four-year deal.

Moyes has pursued Uruguayan star Cavani all season and is confident of signing the goal ­machine for £58m.
