Man united paint Japan Red!


Manchester united were crowned the Club champions of the world in Japan as they defeated Ecuador’s LDU 1-0. Nemanja Vidic was sent off from the field in thr 49th minute but the Golden Combo of Roon and Ron (Rooney and Ronaldo) provided the decisive goal with a Rooney strike. No United can return back to England as the Champions of the World. United became the first British winners of the FIFA tournament following Liverpool’s failure in 2005 when they were ambushed by Brazil’s Sao Paulo.
The European champions overcame a moment of madness from Nemanja Vidic, who was sent off four minutes into the second half in Yokohama for elbowing LDU striker Claudio Bieler in the face.

“The sending off made it difficult for us,” United manager Alex Ferguson told reporters. “Half-an-hour to go is a long road with 10 men but Wayne scored a magnificent goal.

“Unbelievable!” said United captain Rio Ferdinand. “We’re elated. It’s been a hard trip but winning softens any feelings of tiredness.”

Ferguson’s side won the tournament’s forerunner, a one-off match between the champions of Europe and South America, with a 1-0 win over Brazilian side Palmeiras in 1999.
