Subject: WIGAN DATE FOR UNITED [MEN]
Alex Ferguson is on his way to Wigan! The Manchester United manager and
his star-studded squad will add extra spice to a milestone event writes
Neil Barker.
United are topping the bill in the historic first public game at Wigan
Athletic's new ground. United will provide the opposition for John
Benson's Wigan team on Wednesday, August 4 in a special challenge match at
the state of the art JJB Stadium.
Wigan's millionaire owner Dave Whelan was always keen to see Fergie's
treble winners face Wigan for what should be a fantastic night. Fergie has
promised to field a side including several first teamers.
Ticket details will be announced in the next fortnight. The game is set to
be a 25,000 sell-out

Subject: UNITED FACING MARATHON CAMPAIGN
Manchester United could end up playing a staggering 77 games next
season. That is the incredible number of matches they face if they
go all the way in the knock-out competitions and play the maximum
four replays in the FA Cup. Even if United fall at the first hurdle in
the cups, they would still play a minimum of 51 matches.
Last season United played 13 European games, but they face 17 if
they are to reach next season's final and defend their crown. Then
there is the World Team Championship between 5 and 14 January
and if United participate that could add four more games to their
hectic schedule. In addition, there is the one-off European Super
Cup against Lazio in Monaco on 27 August and the Toyota Cup
against Palmeiras in Tokyo on 30 November.
The Premiership fixtures for next season were released on Thursday
and already United must rearrange their home game against
Newcastle on 28 August because it clashes with the European
Super Cup and Old Trafford chairman and chief executive Martin
Edwards admitted the huge number of games was a worry.
"Anyone can see the problems for themselves by just looking at the
fixtures," he said. "You can see that it does require quite a bit of
thought to plan it all out. There is an early start on 7 August
because the season has been brought forward to ease fixture
congestion caused by the increased number of European matches
that have to be played. There's six matches which together with
the Champions League makes 23 games before even considering the
domestic programme. So something has got to give."
Even UEFA general secretary Gerhard Aigner is concerned about the
extra demands the enlarged Champions League will place on players.
When he visited Old Trafford last season he said: "There is a lot of
pressure on the players and we're asking them to play even more
matches. Those who are successful will take the burden and play
more matches and this is a concern for us, especially when we talk
about England with 20 teams in the Premier League. That makes 38
matches, whereas in normal leagues in Europe they have 18 teams
which makes 34 games."

Subject: Man United may sidestep Cup
By Derek Hunter
Sunday, June 27, 1999
Manchester United are almost certain to be allowed to pull out of the
Worthington Cup to ensure their participation in the inaugural World Clubs
Championship in Brazil in January.
Their exemption from the Football League showpiece would be a big blow to
the sponsors and it is only one of a series of measures being considered
by the FA to ease a crippling fixture burden.
United's entry in the prestigious FIFA tournament is regarded as
essential, although manager Alex Ferguson has already expressed concern
about the physical toll on his players.
England's representation could be vital to the FA's hopes of staging the
World Cup in the country in 2006.
---------------------
Electronic Telegraph
THE Football Association are trying to devise a way for Manchester
United to play in the FIFA Club World Champiopnships in Brazil next
January without jeopardising their chances of retaining the Premiership,
FA Cup and Champions' League titles.
And United manager Alex Ferguson claims he has come up with the perfect
solution - give his club a bye in the early rounds of the FA Cup. However,
his suggestion is sure to meet with fierce opposition from Premiership
rivals.
The FA executive director, Davies Davies, revealed yesterday he was taking
charge of trying to engineer a window in United's season to allow them to
take 10 days out to compete in the new FIFA competition.
The FA are anxious for United to take part in the competition because it
would further promote their World Cup 2006 bid. But the tournament clashes
with a United Premiership match against Middlesbrough and the fourth-round
date for the FA Cup.

Subject: No charge to answer over Keane bar fracas
Manchester United captain Roy Keane is to escape prosecution over claims
that he kicked two women in a bar.
Sources close to the affair revealed last night that police investigating
the allegations against the 27-year-old Irish midfielder believe there is
no case to answer.
Because Keane is such a high-profile personality, police are likely to
seek advice from the Crown Prosecution Service. But legal sources say the
CPS is expected to agree the matter should be dropped.

Subject: BOSNICH ADMITS HE'S TAKEN A BIG GAMBLE BY JOINING UNITED
By Ian Cruise (365)
MARK BOSNICH believes he has taken the biggest gamble of his life by
joining Manchester United. The former Aston Villa goalkeeper finally ended
speculation about his future earlier this month when he agreed the deal to
return to his first club, but he knows it's a decision that could backfire
on him with spectacular consequences.
The Australian international will be handed the massive task of replacing
Peter Schmeichel, but he knows that if it goes wrong the only way is down.
He told Football365: "I accept this move could make or break my career.
But in the end I followed my heart. It was the right thing to do."
However, although he recognises the size of the task he faces, the
27-year-old insists that the pressure won't be too much for him. "It's
part of the territory," he said. "I'm big and ugly enough to look after
myself. I don't need the critics to tell me whether I've played well or
not, I know myself. I'm my biggest critic. I've also had a great deal of
experience at this level and I feel I can handle just about anything.
"Of course people will draw comparisons with me and Peter Schmeichel, that
is inevitable, isn't it? But I'm not Peter Schmeichel, nor will I ever be.
For nearly a decade he has been arguably one of the best goalkeepers in
the world, I don't think anyone would argue with that. What I'm striving
to do is not emulate him, but follow successfully in his footsteps."
Bosnich also denies that he settled on Old Trafford because that was where
the most cash was on offer. He insisted: "Contrary to what some people
say, money was not a motivating factor. It wasn't when Dwight Yorke joined
United because he could have earned more by staying at Villa. It's a case
of taking up the challenge and they don't come bigger than this.
"Some people would call me stupid, others brave. All I know is there is a
very thin line between both. I could have lived like a king at other
clubs. I turned down ludicrous money from other European sides. Leading up
to the move to United people were saying I was turning down this and that
and asking for this and that. If any of this was true and I was only in it
for the money, I would have gone to another club.
