Thoughts?

Manchester United is obviously trying to get better after just barely losing to their rival, Manchester City, in the Premier League title race. Manchester United is owning free agency. For Americans like me, here's a good comparison: Manchester United of the Premier League is like the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball, expect a lot worse. There is a lot of money in Manchester United. I read that it's the most valuable sports franchise in the world somewhere.

We all knew this was coming, kinda shows Fergie's desperation to win the title back from us! ;D

I'm very happy we signed Robin van Persie. He's an excellent striker, top scorer last season and has already made a good impact, I just think the signing fee was a little high.

£24 million for a 29 year old who spent most of his career on the injury table is over the top!

I like RVP. Shame he had to leave Arsenal, but Man U is going to be beast this year. I still think Man City will beat them again.
