Manchester United's bid for European Super Cup glory ended in failure as Pavel Pogrebnyak and Danny goals earned Zenit St Petersburg a deserved win.
Really good football match. Manchester play very well, as much as they could. Zenit played with care, concentration, explosiveness and technique, they played with such flair that you couldn't tell who were the real champions of europe, or you could.
Final score, Man UTD will be looking for a rematch when this years CL rolls around.
City TakeOver by Abu Dhabi Investment. Berba Raid Being Made
Manchester City are reported to have launched an audacious attempt to sign Dimitar Berbatov from under the noses of city rivals Manchester United following their takeover by an Abu Dhabi investment group.
With Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment understood to have agreed a deal to buy City from the disgraced Thaksin Shinawatra on Sunday night, the Manchester Evening News reports that a 'dramatic 11th hour bid for United's number one target Dimitar Berbatov' has been sanctioned.
The newspaper claims that the Abu Dhabi group's 'first instruction to the Blues was to try and lure Berbatov for a reputed £28m.'
The Bulgarian is nonetheless expected to complete his long-awaited transfer to Manchester United later today with other reports suggesting that Frazier Campbell will be used as a makeweight in the deal.
:lol: I dont believe it about the Berba Bid
