[carlos12121]

will he get a serious chance at a place at united in the future???

I heard a thing a while ago saying that he wouldn't be able to get a work permit or something. I think I'm going back a whole season now, after last seasons pre season.

Chinese names, sometimes sound funny alright!

Chinese striker Dong Fangzhuo will get the chance to kick-start his Manchester United career in December, as manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed the 21-year-old will qualify for a European passport at the turn of the year.

Dong joined The Red Devils in January of 2004, but has played only pre-season friendlies for the club as he does not qualify for a UK work permit.

The striker has worked on his game at Belgian side Royal Antwerp and he has made a positive impression on Ferguson this summer.

Dong scored the winner during United's friendly win over Kaizer Chiefs and he could well get the chance to fight for a place in the side at the turn of the year.

"Dong qualifies for his European passport in December and that is good news for us," said Ferguson.

"He has played four times for China already, so clearly he has a lot of potential.

"He has the speed and physicality and his technique is improving all the time.

"He has improved a lot but we expect that and he has to continue it if he wants to be a player."

As i said somewhere else, we might not need Torres then.

In January, that would mean Saha, Rossi, Solskjaer, Rooney, Dong. Looks pretty solid. Maybe the alleged 25 mil to be splurged on Torres can be channeled elsewhere? (like debt repayment)

Midfield's still the main area of weakness, though. This article's a little old: an indepth review of the Reserves Team Maybe you've all read it, but i thought i'd just post this in here. Quite heartening to hear good things about the Reserves.
