Manchester United Huge Favourites

Sir Alex Ferguson

Manchester United wel­come Harry Redknapp´s Tot­ten­ham side to Old Traf­ford on Sat­urday. Manchester United have not had any ser­i­ous prob­lems deal­ing with Tot­ten­ham in the past and the stat­ist­ics sur­round­ing the his­tory of  this clas­sic en­counter makes de­press­ing read­ing for Spurs fans as Sir Alex Ferguson´s play­ers have taken seven wins from the last ten meet­ings between the two clubs, while The Li­ly­whites have man­aged three draws.

Al­though Wayne Rooney’s mar­ket­ab­il­ity has been hurt by sev­eral scan­dals lately, he has now signed an ex­ten­sion to his con­tract which will see the centre for­ward spend the next five sea­sons at Manchester United. The Eng­land in­ter­na­tional signed a new five-year deal last Fri­day just a few days after telling the news­pa­pers he des­per­ately wanted to leave the club. In or­der to fight off other big time clubs, Sir Alex Fer­guson fol­lowed Wayne Rooney’s deal by get­ting Patrice Evra and John O’Shea to agree to luc­rat­ive long term con­tracts as well. Apparently, things are slowly but surely get­ting back to nor­mal at the club.
