Going to Old Trafford next week to see the game against Juventus. Premier League game would have been better but no complaints.

REAL MADRID are preparing one final £60million bid to land Cristiano Ronaldo.
Manchester United insist their Portuguese winger is not for sale. But last night Real boss Bernd Schuster confirmed: “The club are working hard to get a solution. We knew it was going to be very complicated.
“It’s not going to be easy for Ronaldo to come to Madrid but we will have to see.”
Ronaldo, 23, is due to return to United this week after his holiday following his ankle op. Hilarious. "One final bid"?? They haven't made an initial bid yet. Beggars belief the quality of the 'reporting' on this. Ole is a legend.  He is staying on as a coach yes.

not long now. Ronaldo is either a) going to Manchester today or b) refusing to go to Manchester today, depending on which media you read. And United have no strikers (other than glassman Saha) to play with now that Rooney has some exitic virus. What a shame. * Having said that, we don't have much either.

Saha is a joke, he is permenantly injured and nearly 30, why Roy Keane would want to buy him is beyond me.

Apparently:
Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that he will remain at Manchester United for another season.
In the longest running transfer saga of the summer, the Red Devils winger had fluctuated between his desire to remain at Old Trafford and fulfilling his dream of playing for Real Madird.
United had always insisted that the Portugal international was not for sale, but Real have a history of getting what they want.
However, the 23-year-old appears to have brought an end to the endless speculation surrounding his future by stating his intentions to remain in England for the 2008/09 campaign.
"I will remain with Manchester United for at least another year," Ronaldo told Portuguese newspaper Publico.
He goes on to praise United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who flew to Portugal in the aftermath of Euro 2008 to hold clear-the-air discussions with his enigmatic playmaker.
"Sir Alex Ferguson heard my arguments, I heard his and, in fact, it was settled that the best for both parties would be for me to stay," he added.
"Therefore, I can confirm that, next season, I will play for Manchester United.
"Before rumours emerge saying that I will play against my will, I want to make this clear - whoever says or writes that is lying.
"I will play for Manchester with all my heart and soul. I will fight and honour that shirt with the same commitment and dedication as always."
Ronaldo also accepted full responsibility for failing to stop the constant rumours regarding from spiralling out of control.
"I was responsible for all this controversy," he said.
"I was the one who publicly expressed my desire to go to Real Madrid. I ended up being, even involuntarily, responsible for the poor relationship between the two clubs."
While United will be pleased to here their prized asset committing himself to the club, Ronaldo went on to admit that he maintains his dream of playing for Real at some stage in the future.
He explained: "I knew Real Madrid were interested in signing me and that they had allegedly made a very high offer to Manchester United.
"My desire was, for some time, that Manchester had accepted my transfer to Madrid.
"Saying otherwise would be to trick people and my own consciousness."
