Thread: Manchester Utd

BRENDAN BE A GREAT PICK , the Carnlough lad did a fine job with Chelsea reserves outstanding at lowly Leicester, of course he may wait for Tuchel to end a season empty handed and Roman Emperor to give him the laurels in the Royal borough and the keys to Stamford Bridge.
As for Ole he's watching the Glazers peek behind teh doors of teh advent claendars waving their magic debt trap at al land sundry oof course they prefer someone flasher the sorta harrybutterballs like Giggsy or a real coup jerk Wanger management back no Arsene about here or even the special Meringue Jose teh Pose are some of teh few characters big enough to put Chrissy, Fred, n Pog n their place.With no honours I think Rashford and others will be packing their bags with plenty of offers

Sir Alex Ferguson has helped unveil a statue honouring fellow football legend Denis Law in Aberdeen.


Law, now 81, was born and raised in the Granite City but played most of his career for Manchester United.


He said he was "humbled" by the honour in his "beloved Aberdeen".


Former Aberdeen and Manchester United manager Sir Alex joined Law at the unveiling of the 4.5-tonne statue, just off Broad Street in the city centre.

Entitled Legend, sculptor Alan Herriot's bronze statue, with a granite base, shows the footballing great with his arm raised.


Known affectionately as The Lawman, he scored 30 goals for Scotland.


In August, it was revealed he had been diagnosed with dementia.

• Denis Law statue too heavy for proposed location
• Man Utd great Law diagnosed with dementia
• Denis Law receives Freedom of Aberdeen

The former European footballer of the year went to Powis Academy, before moving away to play for Huddersfield when he was 16.


He went on to play for clubs including Manchester United, Torino and Manchester City.

Speaking about the new honour, he said: "Aberdeen is my first city, I always came back to Aberdeen.


"This statue is really fantastic. I have been a very lucky guy, being able to play for your country as well."


He said his memory was not as good as it used to be, adding he was "very happy" that "marvellous" Sir Alex was able to be there for the occasion.

He was one third of what became known as Manchester United's Holy Trinity, when he played alongside George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton during his 11-year stint with the Red Devils.


He received the Freedom of Aberdeen in 2017, and features in a new hall of heroes in Provost Skene's House, which reopened recently.


Lord Provost Barney Crockett said: "The people of Aberdeen hold Denis Law very close to their hearts and this statue represents appreciation of a local lad done good."

Arf.

"If you don't know who Salt Bae is, he's a bloke who sprinkles salt in a vaguely amusing way, and somehow turned that gag into a £50 million restaurant empire.

The Turkish chef - who we're still hoping is actually a Sacha Baron Cohen character - recently opened a London outpost, where he serves £1500 steaks covered in edible gold leaf.

Naturally this soulless business lounge is a magnet for footballers like Wayne Rooney, David Beckham and, it turns out, former Spurs gaffer Mauricio Pochettino, who popped in the other day.

The Argentine - among the favourites for the Man United job - was filmed spunking ungodly sums of cash on overpriced, incoherent dross. He'll fit right in at Old Trafford."

So he won't pay to enter Museum, like all other Aberdonians, hence the common nesh end expression for deserted terraces, like Aberdeen on a Flag Day.
Law has a special place in the heart of Manchester's premier team

"The scorer of what proved to be the winning goal for Manchester City in United's penultimate game was former United player Denis Law, who scored with a back-heel in the 81st minute. relegated, United then lost their last game of the season, against sixth-placed Stoke City

Oh here's THAT goal sheer class, tho Denis is ambivalent in the clip

Poor Alex I has the pleasure of coaching from him and Peter the Cat at my unsucceslul bid to be an apprentice keeper. Both great keeper sin an Era of Banks Shilts too, in an era when fullbacks had balls were heavy and keepers could be barged , the fairies today wouldn't last til half time on the boggy mire at Gillingham or Brisbane Rd on foggy February nights, The only warmth and comfort was when someone threw or pissed warm Bovril down ter leg on unprotected terraces.
