Emery taunts Fergie
Sir Alex Ferguson has been told Manchester United no longer frighten their European rivals. United take on Valencia at Old Trafford tomorrow night and their boss Unai Emery reckons the Premier League champions no longer scare the wits out of their opponents. Emery believes the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez has taken the fear factor away from facing Ferguson’s men. He said: “United have lost Ronaldo and Tevez and we’re not scared of any of their players. Of course, they are still a strong team and we are respectful towards the likes of Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs. But we are Valencia and can beat anyone.” - Daily Star

The Mirror is also respectful towards Ryan Giggs, with a special feature on his "19 years of glory at Old Trafford" and quotes in which the Welshman talks about the positive impact of training ground rows ... "On the rare occasions when training is a bit flat, you'll see someone start an argument and that will get the session going again."

Rio Ferdinand is another player quoted in The Mirror, on how losing affects him. "I hate it. When I lose a game, my parents can't get hold of me for days. I won't speak to them."

Several newspapers, meanwhile, report that 15 year-old Swedish midfielder Linus Sjoberg is having a trial at Carrington. The Daily Mail, for example, says: "The young midfielder currently plays for Swedish first division outfit Vasteras in Stockholm and has been identified as one to watch by United's Scandinavian scouting network."
