Ah well, failed with the Adebayor bid (like the Henry one a couple of years back)... I suppose it's some consolation.

Arsenal are dominating the womens game too much. They need stopping.

I'd rather United stop their domination than Chelsea...it's just Roman's millions buying another set of silverware.

Do United have a womans team?

If not, why not?

I seem to vaguely remember our that our womans team was closed down a couple of years ago. The reason was to reduce expenses.

Manchester United, the richest football club in the world, have turned their back on the women's game barely three months before the Women's Euro 2005 is staged in the north-west of England.

By the time England play their first match of the tournament, against Finland at the City of Manchester Stadium on June 5, the name Manchester United will no longer exist in women's football. From next season the Premiership giant's only contribution to the country's fastest growing female sport will be restricted to the coaching of girls up to the age of 16 through the club's community scheme.

The decision comes at a time when clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea are providing significant funding and commitment to their female sections.

Philip Townsend, United's director of communications, said: "Our aims in the women's game are best served by con centrating on youngsters. We want to be community based and our resources are better deployed at the level of school-age children rather than adults."

United's move has shocked the establishment. The FA vice-chairman, Ray Kiddell, who heads the FA women's football committee, said: "It's very disappointing. The progress of women's football can be really helped by professional clubs taking women's teams under their umbrella and it's a blow to the game that a great club like Manchester United will no longer be doing this."

While United's senior female teams yesterday began the countdown to the end of their existence, Arsenal were moving to within 90 minutes of a second successive FA Cup final appearance by securing a 3-0 quarter-final victory at Birmingham City.

The Gunners will meet Everton in the semi-finals. Charlton Athletic are set to face Bristol Rovers in the other semi-final.

I'm extremely sexist when it comes to women's football. Just don't see the point of it all.
