How about in Malaysia??? We have Red Cafe at Jalan Pinang before but what happen to that cafe now??? There is also an outlet near Central Market..but.. now no more.

England’s best known premier league soccer club, Manchester United FC, is set to open a café bar and retail outlet in Shanghai, after opening branches in South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Macau.

Additional outlets are also expected to be opened shortly in Mumbai and Hong Kong. The club is one of the most widely supported teams globally and is capitalizing on next year’s World Cup Finals with a target of 14 more outlets within Asia in the next two years.

The outlets will feature food, music, DVDs, live match broadcasts and Manchester United retail wear such as shirts and other memorabilia, plus training schemes and advice on football and physical fitness courses.

The Hong Kong outlet will display more of the club’s British roots and will probably offer fish and chips, sausages and mash, in addition to beer. The retail outlet arm of the club is operated by Singapore-based MUFB Asia. The club’s second outlet in Seoul opened last week.

Although I am still disappointed with Ronaldo decision to leave United this season..but I have to agree with Zidane on this.

Real Madrid icon Zinedine Zidane has hailed Cristiano Ronaldo as a ‘phenomenon’ following the Manchester United legend’s brilliant brace against Marseille to ensure they qualified as Group winners in the Champions League. The Frenchman suggested the former Ballon d’Or winner and Premier League star does certain things even better than himself.

Zidane told AS: “Cristiano is very good, he is phenomenal.”

“He does great things, sometimes even better than me.”

“I see him doing very well at Madrid, of course he can win the FIFA award.”

He added: “Real have very good players, each week they're better as a team and we're just four months in,”

I am not really believe with this rumor but if it is true... it might be great for Manutd. However, I still believe Micheal Owen is good enough for Manutd this season.

Furthermore, why should we accept him back when he rejected us last summer??

Karim Benzema has had a disappointing start to his Real Madrid career - and Florentino Perez is already considering attempting to recuperate the £35million splashed out on him in the summer by selling him, rather than waiting to see if he settles and risk seeing his value diminish.

As previously reported in this column, Manchester United thought that they had landed Benzema last summer. Could Ferguson's interest be rekindled?

If Benzema is sold, Madrid would add the money to continue their pursuit of David Villa - who told me this week that he would now consider the Premier League - and Franck Ribery, who may have politely turned down moves to Chelsea or Man City and could already have agreed a move to the Bernabeu.
