United sign Valencia

Manchester United is delighted to announce it has completed the signing of Antonio Valencia from Wigan Athletic on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old Ecuador international has played 34 times for his country, scoring four goals.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: “Antonio is a player we have admired for some time now, having spent the last two years in the Premier League with Wigan. I am sure his pace and ability will make a significant contribution to the team.”

Antonio Valencia said: “Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me. I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here.

“Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can’t wait to get started.”

Super Campbell signs for Sunderland

Not for the first time this week, a former United legend and club captain has strengthened his squad with an acquisition from his former club. This time the parties involved are Steve Bruce, Fraizer Campbell and Sunderland, with the 21-year old Reds forward moving to the Black Cats for an initial fee of £3.5m.

After a summer of protracted negotiations, Campbell has joined the Black Cats on a four-year contract, and is Bruce’s first signing on Wearside. Hull City had seemed to be the front-runners to secure the England U21 striker’s signature, having agreed a £6m fee with United back in June, but while Campbell was participating in the U21 European Championships and then relaxing on holiday, Bruce and Sunderland swooped to leave Phil Brown and Tigers fans dismayed.

Former Reds skipper Bruce has been a long-standing admirer of Campbell, having tried to take him to Wigan last summer, only being foiled by Fraizer’s inclusion in the deal with Tottenham that brought Dimitar Berbatov to Old Trafford. Now he’s got his man, and for what on the face of it seems to be a bargain price. The £3.5m fee can rise to a maximum of £6m over the course of the striker’s initial contract, with further payments likely to be dependent on appearances, goals and Sunderland’s progress.

Campbell leaves Old Trafford with an impressive reputation for someone who made just four first-team appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson. The Huddersfield-born youngster joined United as a trainee in the summer of 2004 having already scored eight goals for the U17 side as a schoolboy, and continued that goalscoring form throughout his initial scholarship, scoring 24 times for the academy and 14 more for the reserves in those first two full years. His partnership with Giuseppe Rossi in Rene Meulensteen’s successful reserve side was particularly enjoyable to watch.

That form saw Campbell join United’s Belgian affiliate club Royal Antwerp on loan for the 2006/07 season, along with his friends Danny Simpson, Darron Gibson and Jonny Evans. Along with Gibson, Campbell spent the full campaign at Bosuilstadion and earned a place in the hearts of Great Old fans with his goalscoring exploits, bagging 21 goals in 33 games and earning the nickname ‘Super Campbell’ as Antwerp came agonisingly close to securing promotion to the Belgian top flight.

That eye-catching stint elevated Campbell into the first-team picture at United in the build-up to the 2007/08 season, and he made his Reds debut from the bench in the derby defeat to Manchester City that August. Another sub appearance followed against Coventry City in the Carling Cup, but defeat that night meant first-team opportunities would be hard to come by, and – recognising this – Sir Alex loaned the striker out again, this time to Hull, who were of course still in the Championship at that point. Campbell hit 15 goals to finish top scorer as the Tigers achieved the fairytale of promotion to the top flight, and was on hand to provide the assist for the goal that got them there – Dean Windass’ winner in the Playoff Final.

Interest in Fraizer was widespread last summer, with Hull keen to retain his services for their first crack at the Premier League and Wigan, as already stated, also interested. Initially Sir Alex looked to have opted to keep Campbell at United after another strong pre-season, and the 21 year-old featured in the Community Shield before making his one and only start for the club, on opening day against Newcastle. All that was to change on transfer deadline however, with Spurs refusing to do business with United over Berbatov unless they could take Campbell on loan for the season.

SAF reluctantly agreed, and Fraizer headed south for what was to be a frustrating campaign at White Hart Lane. With Spurs a club in turmoil in the early part of the season and a change of manager soon forthcoming, Campbell never really got a run in the side, new boss Harry Redknapp’s purchases of Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane relegating the young loanee to fifth-choice in the pecking order. Fraizer did score his first Premier League goal in a defeat to Fulham, and enjoyed the sort of experience every United fan dreams of when scoring twice to help knock Liverpool out of the Carling Cup, but overall it was something of a wasted year, even if the player said all the right things about learning from the experience.

One positive came in the form of a continued presence in the England U21 setup last season, Stuart Pearce not being put off by Campbell’s lack of first-team opportunities. Culminating in last month’s Euro U21 finals, Fraizer racked up 13 appearances and four goals for his country, although his last outing saw him pick up a red card that would rule him out of the final.

Genuine first-team football may have been scarce for Campbell in his time at United, but highlights were there in the form of two league titles and MSC and LSC victories with the reserves, as well as several goals in first-team friendlies, most notably last summer in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s testimonial. For me personally, one real highlight was his brilliant four-goal haul in a 6-0 reserve mauling of Manchester City at Ewen Fields in 2006.

Now it’s time for him to show what he can do with his new club, all parties seemingly agreed that now was the time to move on. Speaking to SAFC.tv earlier today after passing his medical and putting pen to paper, Fraizer was looking forward to the next chapter in his career:

“Sunderland are an ambitious club who are going to go forward with the financial backing they have here. I know they are looking to bring in quality alongside some very good existing players. It was an easy decision to make.”

Steve Bruce was obviously delighted at seeing off strong competition for Campbell’s signature:

“We’re delighted to have signed such a promising young footballer. We’re very pleased he’s chosen to join Sunderland. Fraizer’s already shown what a fantastic talent he is, but we hope this move will take him to another level.

“We need quality and competition right across the pitch and he’s the type of player who can really excite our fans.”

As well as linking up with Bruce, Fraizer will find familiar faces at the Stadium of Light in the form of Kieran Richardson, Phil Bardsley and Paul McShane, as well as another former United academy graduate David Healy. We wish him (and them) the very best of luck.

Whether you like them or not, congratulations go to ManchesterUnited and specifically their Dutch international goalkeeper who broke a longstanding English record on Saturday.

It has now been an astonishing 1,104 minutes since Edwin van derSar picked the ball out of his net eclipsing the record set by the fantastically named Steve Death during the 1978-9 season.

It is a particular testament to the veteran keeper that he has done this behind a regularly changing defence, with the back four having variously included Nemanja Vidic, Gary Neville, Rafael da Silva, John O'Shea, Patrice Evra, Wes Brown and Jonny Evans during this run.

If van der Sar keeps West Ham at bay for 75 minutes at Upton Park on Sunday he will beat the current British record (held by Rangers' Chris Woods). A clean sheet against the Hammers will then mean that if the Dutchmen gets to the 65th minute against Fulham next Wednesday night without conceding he will beat the world record (currently held by Atletic Madrid's Abel Renso).

van der Sar has had a terrific career. He is Holland's most capped player and was the first non-Italian to keep goal for Juventus. He is also one of the few players to win the Champions League with two clubs, picking up winners medals with Ajax in 1995 and ManchesterUnited in 2008. He has also won a UEFA Cup winners medal and six league titles with United and Ajax.

Many records have fallen during the Ferguson era, and for a team who have receive regular plaudits over the years for their fine attacking football it must be of great satisfaction to Ferguson that his side are also record-breakers for their defensive achievements. A model professional, I hope van der Sar makes it through the next couple of games with his luck intact as it would be a tremendous crowning achievement to a fantastic career.

Trio sign pro forms, three more to follow

Hot on the heels of Matt James, Oliver Gill and Scott Wootton signing professional contracts last Wednesday, three of their teammates are expected to do likewise in the next couple of days.

England U19 starlet James has put pen to paper on a two-year contract, as we revealed back in February. The 17 year-old midfielder was one of the outstanding performers in United’s youth setup last season, captaining the U18s for the first half of the campaign before seamlessly making the transition to reserve regular after Christmas, bagging ten goals in total.

Centre-half Gill has made 35 appearances for the academy over the last two seasons whilst also continuing his studies. Having broken into the reserve side last season, he will now move up into Ole Solskjaer’s squad on a permanent basis in his first full-time campaign. Wootton, meanwhile, has been offered pro forms after just one year at the club, testament to how well he settled in after arriving from Liverpool last summer. The 17 year-old was a fixture at the heart of the U18s defence, only missing two games all term.

While those three are the only players to have thus far been confirmed by the club as having turned pro, Oliver Norwood, Joe Dudgeon and Cameron Stewart are all expected to follow suit in the coming days. All three were U18 stalwarts last season during the second year of their scholarships and forced their way into the reserve setup on a regular basis, and will be expected to push on and establish themselves in the second string this time around.
