Manchester United F.C. Scarf BC

Product Information

I grew up as a United fan and the last thing I did as a young kid was to look to see who was in the directors' box. With his lap of honour nearly complete and 'There's only one David Beckham' echoing around the Stretford End, a lone green and gold scarf was thrown onto the saturated turf as Beckham approached the tunnel. Newton Heath played in yellow and green throughout their 24 years and the squad was filled with railway workers full of passion for the game. Midway through 2009-10, United were second and two points adrift of Chelsea and ended the decade with a 5-0 dismantling of Wigan Athletic, though that did not temper the outcry at United's decision to pull out of a deal for the Serbian teenager Adem Ljajic.

and it had the sub-plot of a potential takeover by a group of bankers, lawyers and lifelong United fans who went by the name of the Red Knights. On an eclectic list that includes Richard Wilson, Terry Hall, Ian McShane, Pete Boyle and Harry Gregg, Solskjaer is listed as a patron of MUST. But from where I'm sitting there are many millions of fans who are just happy the team are through to the next round. In five of the first eight seasons under the Glazers' ownership, United clinched five championships. In January 2010, Wayne Rooney poached all four in the 4-0 thrashing of Hull City at Old Trafford and it was soundtracked to the same chant: 'We want Glazers out'.With Ferguson gone and Moyes proving to be a disaster, United's parsimony catches up with them and they're in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League.

Ljajic was paraded at Carrington with Zoran Tosic in January of 2009 and Ferguson bragged Ljajic was 'the star of the tournament at the Uefa Under-19 Championship'. It was one of those crowdpleasing cameos Beckham specialised in in the twilight of his career; pinpoint passes with the tempo relaxed and an audacious attempt that Edwin van der Sar parried.

Joel, Avram and Bryan sat in the directors' box for the first time in the Champions League qualifier against Debrecen that August. as players we never get involved in those things; our job is purely on the pitch and we allow people who are paid to do jobs in other areas of the club to do their job. Alongside United, the Glazers have a longstanding ownership of NFL team Tampa Bay Buccaneers, following Malcolm Glazer’s original purchase in 1995.The United mutineers have tweaked sinister songs to accommodate the names of Woodward and the Glazers. But inside the club we have not been affected by changes of ownership: you wouldn't have a clue that anything is different under the Glazer family. Solskjaer has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth at times and maybe noticed the whites in the eyes of reporters brighten after he uttered those four words. Ferguson's assistant, Mike Phelan, contradicted the club's statement and blamed work permit problems.

As those in the fan TV community will attest, its Twitter account still has form for 'kicking against the p-----'. The 5-0 thrashing of Portsmouth, the 1-1 draw with Villa and routine 3-0 defeat of West Ham in February were not televised and the humdinger of a win in Milan, as well as a limp loss at Everton, barely mentioned or broadcast the anti-Glazer militants in the unseen away ends. Ljajic has had a respectable, if nomadic, career that has taken in four Italian clubs and he is currently in Turkey playing for Besiktas.Beckham's best man Neville was asked afterwards about the evocative green and gold protest in the mixed zone: "I'm not getting involved in that. The Glazers today are the six children of American entrepreneur Malcolm Glazer: Avram, Joel, Kevin, Bryan, Darcie and Edward Glazer. They are the original colours of Manchester United and the fans wear them because they love this club. United only missed out on an unprecedented fourth consecutive championship by a point; stung by appalling refereeing decisions in both defeats to Chelsea.
