KHAN UNVEILED AS NEW MAN UTD BOSS
Unknown rookie Faiz Khan was unveiled yesterday as the new boss of his beloved club Manchester United. After last season's disappointment, Sir Alex Ferguson was informed that his services were no longer satisfying the board any longer. The board announced they were going to shock everyone by bringing a lifelong supporter of the club instead of an experienced winner. When asked about the coming season in his dream job, Khan defiantly declared that whatever the board asked of him, there will be 100% from both Khan and his players. Faiz said that he would do all he can to regain the Premiership from Arsenal and have a good crack at the Champions League. He also confidently declared that defending the F.A. Cup would be fantastic as he would love to win it for the 12th for Man Utd. It remains to be seen whether Khan can turn this squad into Premiership champions and Kings of Europe - but Faiz will know that it can be achieved with his current squad. Faiz Khan left the whole world with this note - 'WATCH THIS SPACE!

Khan is asking for £3m and is refusing to loan the player. This follows the news from the board that Faiz must effectively sell before he buys after being given a poultry transfer budget of £4.8m.

The youngster has been signed for a £875,000 compensation fee paid to Anderlecht as the player's contract was not protected. Faiz Khan has certainly made Man Utd fans look a bit confused as they have not heard of Vanden Borre - but Khan is very excited about a player he best describes as 'one for the future of world football.' The player himself described the move as a dream come true. He went on to say that he cant wait to play for such a well-supported club.

RONALDO SUFFERS INJURY SETBACK
Manchester United have been dealt an injury blow as 19-year-old wonderkid Cristiano Ronaldo has been for the next 3 weeks because of a fractured cheekbone suffered in training. He was visibly very disappointed leaving the Carrington training ground complex with suffering the injury that could well hamper his preparations for the brand new season under his brand new boss, Faiz Khan. However, he is very optimistic that he will return a better player because of all the pent up frustration and adrenaline. He will miss the curtain raiser against champions Arsenal in Cardiff. He should be back for the first game of the season which will be the Champions League Qualifier. United's opponents are yet to be known.

You'll probably win the title "take that as a complement " but good luck anyway!

RED DEVILS HANDED TOUGH EUROPEAN TIE
Manchester United were definitely seeded for the Champions League preliminary round and that usually that means a favourable tie. Being seeded didnt help Faiz Khan this time as he was handed a very tricky encounter against Portugeuse giants Benfica. Khan has described this as 'a very difficult tie that he could have avoided.' However, Khan fully expects his team to come through the two legged game starting on 11/08/2004 at Old Trafford. Faiz will be hopeful that his side can take a healthy lead and not concede any away goals for the away leg. A very tough first examination of Faiz Khan's managerial credentials will come in his 1st real competitive game.
