But he did have family problems tho and i think that was half the reason, heard it on the commentary of one of the matches.

I reckon Butt'll go to Middlesborough as he already knows McLaren and they're a good enough team to keep his england career going and no chance of relegation! :)

FA Youth Cup: Fourth Round
Manchester United 2
Manchester City 0
Old Trafford

United battled the pouring Manchester rain to continue their defence of the FA Youth Cup crown with an impressive 2-0 win over Manchester City at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.

Brian McClair's young charges beat a strong City side, the team widely tipped to win this season's competition, to book a place in the fifth round of the competition - a step closer to a tenth Youth Cup title.

16-year-old Lee Martin, recently signed from Wimbledon, and Youth Team captain Paul McShane were outstanding for United.

However, it was City who started the stronger of the two teams. Blues forward Stephen Ireland had the first real opportunity of the match, pouncing on a lapse in concentration in the United defence, but his shot drifted harmlessly over Tom Heaton's goal.

Lee Martin, who comes to Old Trafford held in high regard, signalled his intent in the opening exchanges, bursting through the City defence almost nicking the ball away from the last defender Nedum Onuoha, but the powerful centre-half muscled the Reds midfielder off the ball.

United poured forward with Sylvan Ebanks-Blake latching on to a long ball forward from goalkeeper Tom Heaton. The United striker cut inside and forced a save from Kasper Schmeichel in the City goal.

Lee Martin impressed for United early on with plenty of running and good passing. It was his incisive ball forward that found Blake on the right side of the penalty area. Blake chipped the ball over the advancing Schmeichel for Ramon Calliste to tap home on 21 minutes.

Martin had a reasonable shout for a penalty four minutes later when he did brilliantly to keep the ball in play on the byline, and went down under Onuoha's challenge. The referee waved play on.

City weren't without chances of their own. Ian Bennett twice went close from long-range, while a Karl Bermingham header forced a fine save from Heaton.

United nearly extended the lead seconds later - Adam Eckersley hit the bar with a curling free kick 20 yards from goal.

The City fans behind the United goal thought their team had an equaliser, when another Bermingham header had to be cleared off the line by Mark Howard.

Reds captain Paul McShane was called into action a minute before half-time when he superbly blocked the lively Bermingham's shot on goal.

City started the second half as they began the first, with plenty of possession and arguably looking the stronger of the two sides. But, as with the first half, United slowly edged their way back in to game.

Lee Martin continued to impress after the break with surging runs forward. Unfortunately for the 5,547-strong crowd, the impressive 16-year-old was forced off with cramp after 75 minutes - an indication perhaps of just how energetic his performance was in midfeld for the Reds.

Reds substitute Callum Flanagan sealed the win with a little over ten minutes remaining when he ran through on goal and capitalised on a mix-up between Nathan D'Laryea and Kasper Schmeichel to nod past the City keeper and send United through.

OMFG You Man Utd fans ARE LUCKY
You got Saha now!!


Fulham's Saha set to join Man Utd

LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Fulham striker Louis Saha says he is poised to join premier league champions Manchester United.

"I am very happy now that we are about to complete the deal," the 25-year-old Frenchman was quoted as saying in Wednesday's Daily Mail newspaper.

"My dream of playing for United is close to being reality but first I have to complete a medical."

Fulham rejected an offer from United last month, which media reports put at around eight million pounds ($14.78 million), but the Daily Mail says the bid for Saha has now been increased to 9.8 million pounds.

"I have wanted to go to United in my mind for a month and now I know that I must prove I can play in the team there," Saha said on Wednesday.

"This is a big step up in my career and I know that I will have to show that I'm good enough."

Saha, who joined Fulham from Metz for a transfer fee of 2.1 million pounds three years ago, scored his 15th goal of the season when he converted a penalty in the 2-1 premier league win over Everton last Saturday.

If Man U can sign Saha, how great that would be for them. They would have the striker they needed oh so much, plus they get a top class striker who isn't cup-tied. Now that would be a great buy

It would be brilliant, I'm sure Saha and van Nistelrooy will create some great chemistry with the help of Paul Scholes behind them.

However, I wont believe a word out of the Daily Mail untill I see a press release from Manchester United FC or PLC. :ewan:

I won't get my hopes up incase it turns out to be false.
