Our new right-back is due to take part in the U20 Champions in Turkey later this month, but before then, the young man has expressed his delight at joining United. Whom he labels one of the best clubs in the world. I don’t expect the 20-year old to play many games this year, but could definitely be one to watch in the future.
The new era has officially begun. Young right-back Guillermo Varela has joined United for a fee believed to be around the £1million mark, potentially rising to £2.5million depending on various add-ons and bonuses. The ex-Atlético Peñarol man undertook a medical today before confirming the move.
After the home kit was unveiled earlier this week, everyone’s attention now turned to the away kit launch which is officially scheduled for the end of the month.

Despite speculation about his Manchester United future, Rene Meulensteen has stated he is still part of United’s back room staff, and as far as he is aware he will still report back at the start of July.

Whilst speculation about his domestic future continues, Wayne Rooney put in a disciplined performance for England last night. A performance he capped off with a superb goal. The striker made himself a yard of space before curling the ball into the top corner, with the help of a deflection.
With a new manager comes new ideas. David Moyes will want to mould the squad in his image and to a style and brand of football he adopts, with this will come changes to the current Manchester United squad.

After a shaky season on United’s right wing, Antonio Valencia was in action for his country tonight. Although his side were 4-0 down at the time, this goal should hopefully give Valencia a much-needed confidence booster. It was a nice finish too!
