Man Utd sign Dong

Sir Alex Ferguson will have to wait before seeing Dong in action
Manchester United have completed the signing of teenage Chinese striker Dong Fangzhou from Dalian Shide.
But because the youngster does not qualify for a UK work permit, he will begin his United career next season at Belgian feeder club Royal Antwerp.

United will pay £500,000 for the 18-year-old - which could rise to £3.5m depending on appearances.

If Dong is a success, United would benefit from an explosion of interest in the world's most populous country.

But he faces several hurdles before he becomes an Old Trafford regular.

He could either apply for a Belgian passport - which would allow him to play in England - or have played in 75% of China's international matches during the next two years to qualify for a work permit.

Under the terms of the deal, United are reported to be sending two or three coaches to work with Dalian Shide's development squad.

Dong, who was also linked with Real Madrid and Inter Milan, emerged as the cream of a crop of youngsters sent by China's top clubs to England for trials in August.

Positive- SAF and staff still have time to work some sort of magic/miracle. They must have seen something in him, they cant have just bought him for shirt sales because a) by the sounds of it, no-one Chinese knows him b) counterfeit
 
Dong wont ever gonna make it. Fergie knows that but the thing is who wants him?

Give him to Pharmaceutical
 
Dong will score six goals in the second half. You heard it here first.;)

LB: Evans

RM: Nani

So Dong is not shite, he gets no support by Lee Martin and Eagles...
 
A line-up like that is a piss take. Why don't we have any good fecking subs on the bench? :(

LMAO im from hull, and our local paper will probably produce some bollocks pull out like it normally does tomorrow saying what a tactical genius Grant is and how City put up a strong fight against a cunning manager.

A team that should be more than good enough to beat Coventry in the second half...I hope.
 
We need Carrick on, if he plays half as well as he did on Sunday he'll win the match on his own.
