vs This will be a special occasion for our number 5, he's been at the club for 11 years which is rare in modern football, you see players stay at clubs for 2-3 years and leave, he's got to be one of Fergie's best signings, he cost a lot of money especially for a defender it was a world-record fee, he's proven that he was worth that much money, he oozes class on the ball, doesn't panic and is calm under pressure, for me, his best season with us would have to be last year, at the beginning of the season a lot of people were doubting him, but he proved them wrong, he helped us to win the title and was named in the PFA team of the year, he's going to be one of our important players this season. Its also David Moyes first game in charge at United, it'll be the first time he'll manage us at Old Trafford, i'm looking forward to the game. Thanks for service you given us Rio.
Sorry Matth while it may be Moyes first match at OT as Utd manager (correct me if I'm wrong) its not a competitive match considering that Usain Bolt was earlier penciled in for a guest appearance but cannot now due to the World Championship in Moscow.
