  1. Good luck Zesco!! Am now watching MAN UNT playin Porto. Porto is leading with 1 goal. Manchester is in trouble.

  2. Hopefully smaller teams can create some competition in the local league. Football made in portugal purely brazilian style,great skills and good strikes.

  3. Man U disappointed alot of us. My entire family is on recession on whether to continue supporting ManU or quit all the same

  4. Man U is like the Chipolopolo. They loose when you least expect them. They may win some. Niba fake.
