Manchester United away kit 2008-09

June 20th 2008 05:01

Reigning English and European champions Manchester United will be defending their titles in a new white kit for the 2008/09 English Premier League season.

The crisp white shirt featuring a blue and red collar is matched with blue shorts and white socks and looks world's apart from last season's all black away kit although which one looks better is debatable.

The Red Devils will wear the new kit for the first time for the opening two games of the club's pre-season trip to South Africa. United will take on the Kaizer Chiefs in Cape Town on July 19 and the Orlando Pirates in Durban on July 22.

The 2008/09 away kit will be officially launched on July 18 with pre-orders available now.

UEFA CL: Man Utd Kings of Europe

May 22nd 2008 06:20

Wed, May 21:
UEFA Champions League Final 2008

Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea (Manchester United wins 6-5 on penalties)

SUMMARY:

Manchester United and Chelsea played out a thrilling Champions League Final tie in Moscow overnight with the Red Devils emerging victorious to secure their third European cup with a 6-5 win on penalties after extra-time.

United dominated the first half and deservedly went ahead through Cristiano Ronaldo's brilliant header - his 42nd goal of the campaign - in the 26th minute. They continued to press and Carlos Tevez had two glorious chances to put the game out of reach for Chelsea but they held on to equalise from a goal out of nothing.

An attempted shot from Michael Essien 25-yards out took two deflections before landing sweetly into the path of Lampard, who duly supplied a left-footed finish from six yards.

Chelsea were back in it and it was the perfect time to equalise just before the break.

The London club came out rejuvenated in the second half and dominated proceedings much like their opponents did in the first half. Drogba saw a shot hit the woodwork as United held on and had chances of their own when late substitute Ryan Giggs saw a shot cleared off the line by John Terry.

Both teams were even in extra-time before drama unfolded. Drogba was shown a straight red for slapping Nemanja Vidic but his sending off came too late for United to make full use of their numerical advantage and penalties ensued.

Decisive misses by John Terry and Nicolas Anelka handed the trophy to United despite Ronaldo missing his second successive penalty but it did not matter as United marked the 50th anniversary of the Munich air crash with their third European crown.

Manchester United Home Shirt 2007/09 Champions League Final Embroidery

May 16th 2008 04:30

It has been nine long years since that famous night in Barcelona when Manchester United came back from the dead to score two injury time goals to inflict a 2-1 defeat on Bayern Munich to lift the famous Champions League trophy.

Sir Alex Ferguson hailed the win with his famous remark: "Football, bloody hell!" but the trophy has eluded his team ever since - a fact that the manager has lamented for he believes winning the Champions League is the measure of any great side.

To celebrate this special occasion, the English giants has released a special edition home shirt with a Champions League Final Embroidery sitting in the middle of the chest between the Nike logo and club crest.

Their fellow opponents have also released something similar to mark the occasion.

The Red Devils have also added some special retro kits - the 1968 European Cup Final Retro Home Shirt and Retro Champions League Final Shirt 1999 - to the club store for fans to purchase and wear on the night.

They will also be hoping that the 2007/09 Champions League Final shirt will get to join these two other retro shirts in the club's memorabilia come the final whistle in Moscow.
