With just one week before Premier League new season start, Manchester United’s on-loan winger Bebe brought them an ugly surprise. He will be out for six months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament.

Bebe suffered his injury during a game played for Portugal under-21s in Slovakia on Tuesday. The 21-year-old player joined Turkish club, Besiktas on loan in June, with a view to staying for the duration of the 2011/12 season.

A statement on the club’s official site said: “Manchester United forward Bebe, currently on loan at Besiktas in Turkey, has suffered a serious knee injury and will face a lengthy spell on the sidelines.”

“Bebe tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in Portugal Under-21s’ 1-1 draw against Slovakia on Tuesday night and will now require surgery to repair the damage to his left knee.”

“It is unclear at this stage whether he will remain at Besiktas or undertake his rehabilitation in Manchester.”

Although the losing a player is not a good thing, Manchester has a lot of players to chose from. And with so little time remained to the start of the new season, the last year champions must stay concentrated to have a good start.

The Community Shield from yesterday was a game worthy off all cheer and applause. Facing two of the most important teams from the Premier League, and not mentioning that they are from the same town, Manchester, with a long history of their rivalry, United and City offered an extraordinary show for the eye.

City started full throttle a game that, after the first period the score was 2-0 for them. Things couldn’t be more perfect for Mancini’s team. The only thing is that, when you have an opponent like Man United, you have to keep standards high during the whole game.

Being brought to reality during the break, United came back alive. In the 52 minute, Chris Smalling got rewarded for his efforts and took the score to 2-1. But this wasn’t enough for the Red Devils. Taking advantage of their genius player, Nani took the initiative accompanied by Rooney and managed to equal in 58th minute of the game and then, just before the final whistle, stroke another time, taking the Community Shield.

After the game Rooney said: “Have to say, I think today was a footballing lesson. Great win for the champions.”

Congratulations Manchester United!

All England is awaiting Sunday’s Community Shield at Wembley, a game spicier-than-normal facing the two teams for which a city is too small.

The long awaited game will also provids the opportunity to avenge last season’s FA Cup semi-final defeat by Roberto Mancini‘s crew, which opened up the path towards an end to the Blues’ 35-year trophy drought. Manchester United on the other hand is very optimistic. Their primer striker, Rooney said:

“You couldn’t get better motivation to start the season with a bang. I hadn’t even thought about it until I turned on the TV and someone was talking about potentially the best Community Shield ever. Playing City is the best way to start.”

Although the FA Cup semi-final was a disappointing day for United, the Red Devils will never forget Rooney‘s sensational winner in the Old Trafford league meeting between the two sides a couple of months earlier.

A game like this will be a high-intensity on the fact that both teams are old rivals and from the same city. The supporters will play an important part in the play and they could be an important factor in winning the game with their psychic.

Inter Milan are rejecting the rumors that their player, Wesley Sneider, could go to Manchester United. News have been running about a possible deal to be sealed this week for a sum around 35 million pounds.

To confirm the affirmations, Inter’s coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, expects Sneijder to play in the Italian Super Cup at the end of this week. He said:”He’s playing for us, training with us and he’ll play on Saturday. There is no Sneijder problem.”

These speculations of a move of the Dutch to England kept on going even after Manchester United’s manager, Alex Ferguson, also denied a contact between English team and Inter’s player.

Despite that everyone denies any suspicious move, the only one open to the idea seems to be Sneijder itself: “Maybe. I have played in many big competitions in Holland, Spain and Italy and I’m still here. What is going to happen we will see but I am a happy guy. There is always a chance something will happen but we will see.”

In any case, this could turn only in good for Wesley Sneijder, because we are talking about England’s champions, Manchester United. For now he must be concentrated for the Saturday game and time will tell what will happen in the future.
