Manchester United stars in the bowling alley. Dimitar Berbatov, Patrice Evra, and Ashley Young compete against each other for Strikes, but with footballs! Play the 40 pins 40 seconds challenge.The Players are really having funny times...
Reflecting on the challenge, Young said: “It was harder than I thought it would be because of the weight of the ball and having to strike it so low over a relatively short length of space. Hats off to Patrice and Berbatov; they showed unbelievable skills. And all I can say about Chris is ‘he tried his best!’”

United salvage draw in thriller

  Hosts blow two-goal lead before Ashley Young rescues a point


"Young: Rescued a point in an entertaining game at Old Trafford"

Ashley Young salvaged a point for Manchester United in a pulsating 3-3 draw with Basel in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

Danny Welbeck had handed clinical United a two-goal cushion by the break, but Basel were wasteful in an open first period.
The Swiss side managed to find their finishing touch after the restart, though, with Fabian Frei pulling one back before a brace from his namesake Alexander put the visitors in front.
United probed frantically for the equaliser and it came in the 90th minute courtesy of a close-range Young header from substitute Nani's cross.
The result leaves United third in Group C with two points from two games.
Sir Alex Ferguson sprung a surprise by failing to name either Dimitar Berbatov or Michael Owen in his starting line-up, as Welbeck was preferred in attack with Young playing a supporting role.
The first opening of the game fell in Basel's favour as Marco Streller put Fabian Frei through on goal, but Rio Ferdinand did enough to put the midfielder off balance as he pulled the trigger with the goal at his mercy.
On nine minutes, Young, making his Champions League debut, whipped in a right-foot cross towards the back post but Antonio Valencia somehow directed his header back across the face of goal and wide.
The hosts were encouraged by the opportunity, though, and a through ball from Ryan Giggs was latched onto by Welbeck, who could only flash his effort wide across the face of goal on the turn.
United had begun to find their rhythm and on 14 minutes the roles were reversed as Young forced Yann Sommer into his first save after connecting well with a half-volley from Valencia's cross.

Opening goal

The breakthrough was coming and it arrived on 16 minutes as Giggs delicately teed up Welbeck from a Fabio cross, with the striker scuffing a shot in off the post from around 12 yards.
And Welbeck doubled his and United's tally a minute later as he escaped his man in the penalty area and produced a first-time finish from a diagonal, defence-splitting pass from Giggs once more.
To their credit, Basel continued to worry United's defence with frequent attacks, and Alexander Frei should have done better when teed up by Strellar on 24 mins, but the Swiss side were wasteful in the final third.
Alexander Frei turned provider soon after but Jacques Zoua could only fire into the side netting before, once again, roles were reversed with Frei heading over a Zoua cross when unmarked inside United's penalty area.
Despite a suspiciously open defence which Basel failed to exploit, United continued to threaten with ease, with Welbeck coming close to completing his hat-trick on two occasions before the interval.
The second-half began in the same manner as the first, with Basel creating the first opportunity, but they were once again wasteful as Streller forced De Gea into a brave save from point-blank range with United exposed at the back.
As ever, United responded positively and Young spotted the diagonal run of Giggs, who opted to shoot from a difficult angle with Welbeck crying out for his hat-trick in the centre. Sommer made a comfortable stop from the Welshman's tame effort.
Streller continued to beat the offside trap but decision-making in the final third was again poor and it was somewhat a surprise when the visitors finally breached United's defence from a rare set-piece.
From an Alexander Frei corner, his namesake Fabian rifled in off the post after De Gea had failed to deal with the delivery, handing Basel a lifeline on 58 minutes.
Basel streamed forward in search of a second and they didn't have long to wait as Fabian Frei turned provider, whipping in an exquisite cross for Alexander Frei to plant a header beyond De Gea.

Stunned

Old Trafford was stunned by the turnaround, so much so that the Swiss support could be heard over the United faithful as the tension swayed in Basel's favour.
Ferguson responded by hauling off Giggs in place of the energetic Ji-Sung Park while Nani replaced Fabio soon after.
Little changed in the immediate aftermath and, remarkably, Basel were handed a glorious chance to take the lead for the first time on the night from the penalty spot.
Phil Jones failed to clear convincingly and put Valencia in a difficult position, with the Ecuadorian, caught by surprise, hauled down Streller when trying to recover possession inside the penalty area.
Experienced former Switzerland international Alexander Frei tucked away the penalty on 76 minutes, finding the top corner with a clean strike with De Gea sent the wrong way.
Ferguson soon turned to Berbatov, who replaced Anderson on 82 minutes, but it was Welbeck who was presented the first chance to equalise. However, the former Sunderland loanee couldn't make any meaningful connection from Nani's inviting cross.
On 88 minutes, Berbatov showed what he was capable of as he flicked a diving header on target from Jones' floated pass, but Sommer was well-positioned to make the save.
But in the end it was the introduction of Nani which proved the difference and it was the Portuguese's inch-perfect cross which set up Young with the simple task of nodding in when unmarked at the back post in the final minute of normal time.
United sensed a trademark late victory and Welbeck glanced a header agonisingly wide from another pinpoint Nani delivery.
There was still time for Basel to fire a reminder of their threat, and De Gea was almost caught napping from an ambitious 60-yard effort from Taulant Xhaka, which narrowly missed the target.
It would have been a fitting end to an incredible night in Manchester, and Basel survived one last United attack with Berbatov collected from Welbeck before drilling into the side netting.

Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.

Strike duo out for United

            Rooney and Hernandez out of Champions League c



"Hernandez: Ruled out of European game against Basel"

Javier Hernandez will join Wayne Rooney in missing the game against Basel, while Manchester United could be without a number of other senior players for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League clash.

Sir Alex Ferguson revealed after the draw with Stoke on Saturday that Rooney was likely to be sidelined for 'more than a week' after sitting out the Britannia Stadium encounter with a hamstring injury.
It has now been confirmed that Rooney will miss the match against Basel after taking no part in training at United's Carrington headquarters on Monday morning.
Rooney's regular strike partner Hernandez, who limped off early in the Stoke game with a dead leg following a challenge by Jonathan Woodgate, has also failed to recover in time to face the Swiss outfit.

Ferguson will therefore be choosing between Michael Owen, fit-again Danny Welbeck and Dimitar Berbatov in his attack.

Berbatov has had limited opportunities to impress during the early part of the season but Ferguson maintains that he is still a vital part of his plans.
"He is one of our squad members and they all have a part to play in the context of the number of games we have," said Ferguson.
"It is an exhausting season unless you use all your squad."

Emergency

But the problems do not stop there for United, with central defenders Jonny Evans (ankle), Chris Smalling (groin) and Nemanja Vidic (calf) also absent from training on Monday.

That is almost certain to mean Rio Ferdinand lining up alongside youngster Phil Jones against Basel, with Antonio Valencia again pressed into service as an emergency right-back as Rafael (shoulder) is out with a long-term problem.

Fellow long-term casualties Tom Cleverley (foot) and Darron Gibson (ankle) have long since been ruled out.
United drew their opening match with Benfica in Lisbon a fortnight ago, while Basel are group leaders after defeating Romanian side Otelul Galati in their first game.

                                                           Manchester United

Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.
In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester United was the first English football club to win the European Cup, ten years after the Munich air disaster that claimed the lives of eight players. The current manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is the most successful manager in English football history, having won 37 major honours since he took over in November 1986.
Manchester United is the most successful club in English football, having won 53 domestic trophies, comprising a record 19 league titles, a record 11 FA Cups, four League Cups and 19 FA Charity/Community Shields. The club has also been successful globally, winning seven international titles: three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998–99, the club won a "Treble" of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, an unprecedented feat for an English club.
Manchester United is one of the wealthiest and most widely supported football teams in the world.The club is said to be worth £1.13 billion, making it the world's most valuable football club. After being floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991, the club was purchased by Malcolm Glazer in May 2005 in a deal valuing the club at almost £800 million.

                           Ferguson years (1986–present)

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson's dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup Final replay (after a 3–3 draw) saved Ferguson's career. The following season, Manchester United claimed its first Cup Winners' Cup title and competed in the 1991 UEFA Super Cup, beating European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 in the final at Old Trafford. A second consecutive League Cup final appearance followed in 1992, in which the team beat Nottingham Forest 1–0 at Wembley. In 1993, the club won its first league title since 1967, and a year later, for the first time since 1957, it won a second consecutive title – alongside the FA Cup – to complete the first "Double" in the club's history.
Manchester United's 1998–99 season was the most successful in English club football history as they became the first team to win the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League – "The Treble" – in the same season. Losing 1–0 going into injury time in the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored late goals to claim a dramatic victory over Bayern Munich, in what is considered one of the greatest comebacks of all time. The club also won the Intercontinental Cup after beating Palmeiras 1–0 in Tokyo. Ferguson was subsequently knighted for his services to football.
In 2000, Manchester United competed in the inaugural FIFA Club World Championship in Brazil, and won the league again in the 1999–2000 and 2000–01 seasons. The team finished as runners-up in 2001–02, before regaining the title in 2002–03. They won the 2003–04 FA Cup, beating Millwall 3–0 in the final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. In the 2005–06 season, Manchester United failed to qualify for the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in over a decade, but recovered to secure a second-place league finish and victory over Wigan Athletic in the 2006 Football League Cup Final. The club regained the Premier League in the 2006–07 and 2007–08 seasons, and completed the European double by beating Chelsea 6–5 on penalties in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final in Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium. Ryan Giggs made a record 759th appearance for the club in this game, overtaking previous record holder Bobby Charlton. In December 2008, the club won the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup and followed this with the 2008–09 Football League Cup, and its third successive Premier League title.That summer, Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Real Madrid for a world record £80 million. In 2010, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 2–1 at Wembley to retain the League Cup, its first successful defence of a knockout cup competition.
After finishing as runner-up to Chelsea in the 2009–10 season, United achieved a record 19th league title in 2010–11, securing the championship with a 1–1 away draw against Blackburn Rovers on 14 May 2011. At the start of the following season, Premier League champions United faced FA Cup winners Manchester City in the 2011 Community Shield, United won the match 3–2 to secure their 19th Shield.

Crest and colours

The club crest is derived from the Manchester City Council coat of arms, although all that remains of it on the current crest is the ship in full sail. The devil stems from the club's nickname "The Red Devils"; it was included on club programmes and scarves in the 1960s, and incorporated into the club crest in 1970, although the crest was not included on the chest of the shirt until 1971 (unless the team was playing in a Cup Final).
A photograph of the Newton Heath team, taken in 1892, is believed to show the players wearing a red-and-white quartered jerseys and blue shorts. Between 1894–96, the players wore distinctive green and gold jerseys which were replaced in 1896 by white shirts, which were worn with blue shorts. After its name change in 1902, the club colours were changed to red shirts, white shorts, and black socks, which has become the standard Manchester United home kit.Very few changes were made to the kit until 1922 when the club adopted white shirts bearing a deep red "V" around the neck, similar to the shirt worn in the 1909 FA Cup Final. They would remain part of their home kits until 1927. In 1934, players sported cherry and white hooped shirts, but the following season the red shirt was recalled after the club's lowest ever league placing of 20th in the Second Division. The black socks were changed to white from 1959 to 1965, where they were replaced with red socks up until 1971, when the club reverted to black. The current home kit is a red shirt with a white collar, worn with white shorts and black socks.
The Manchester United away strip has more often than not been a white shirt, black shorts and white socks, but there have been several exceptions. These include the navy blue shirt with silver horizontal pinstripes worn during the 1999–2000 season, and the current away kit, which has a royal blue body and sleeves with hoops made of small midnight navy blue and black stripes, with black shorts and socks. An all-grey away kit worn during the 1995–96 season was dropped after just two games because players claimed to have trouble finding their team-mates against the crowd. In 2001, to celebrate 100 years as "Manchester United", a reversible white/gold away kit was released, although the actual match day shirts were not reversible.
The club's third kit is often all-blue, this was most recently the case during the 2008–09 season, to celebrate 40 years since it was worn for the club's first European Cup win in 1968. Exceptions include blue-and-white striped shirts worn during the 1994–96 season, an all black kit worn during the Treble winning season, and white shirts with black-and-red horizontal pinstripes worn between 2003–05.

Honours

Manchester United's first trophy was the Manchester Cup, which it won as Newton Heath in 1886. In 1908, the club won its first league title, and won the FA Cup for the first time the following year. In terms of the number of trophies won, Manchester United's most successful decade was the 1990s; the club won five league titles, four FA Cups, one League Cup, five Charity Shields (one shared), one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup.
The club currently holds the record for most top-division titles (19), the most FA Cups (11), and the most FA Cup Final appearances (18). Manchester United holds the record for the most Premier League titles (12), and was the first English team to win the European Cup in 1968. The club's most recent trophy came in August 2011 with the 2011 FA Community Shield title.
The only major honour that Manchester United has never won is the UEFA Europa League, although the team reached the quarter-finals in 1984–85 and the semi-finals of the competition's precursor tournament, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, in 1964–65.
