    Manchester United have agreed to sign teenage striker Dong Fangzhou from Chinese club Dalian Shide.

    Link


    He was at trial at the club last september.
    Guardian Unlimited quote Fangzhou saying "It will be a dream to join United. I learned such a lot during my time at the club. My positioning and running into the box have become sharper and my heading has definitely improved."

    He won't be able to play at United until he gets a work permit or a EU passport though...

    This lad must have total sh*te to start out with.
    He certainly wasn't signed because of his marketing potential.

    The words Public Relations Exercise spring to mind.Even if they sell about 5 thousand shirts with his name on in china will pay for this blatant bit of pimping.Only United or Real would have the neck to try it..Enough said.

    Ah give the guy a break until you've seen him play. He could actually be pretty decent.

    Do you think Fergie would spend a possible £3.5mil on a player just to sell shirts? He is not going to sell shirts if he is playing for the reserves so Fergie would have to play him in the first team. Would he do that with a player he didn't think was half decent?

    Only United or Real would generate the interest in China to be able to do it successfully. So again it falls into the category of good business practice .
