That big fat Argentinian bloke has paid a visit to Manchester
United's training ground as part of a whistle-stop tour of the
north-west as he takes the first steps in his role as national
team coach. Maradona was the shocking recent appointment
as Argentina boss but has already identified United striker
Carlos Tevez and Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano as
key men in his revolution. Hardly rocket science is it so he is
doing well so far ! His mission begins with a friendly against
Scotland at Hampden Park on November 19.
It is expected Maradona, who has never been forgiven in
England for his 'Hand of God' goal en route to Argentina's
1986 World Cup triumph, will meet both players, plus their
respective managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafael Benitez,
having already visited Real Madrid's Argentinian stars this
week.
Warm welcome: Sir Alex Ferguson greets Maradona at United's
training ground
The arrival of Maradona in Manchester will no doubt delight
Ferguson, who spoke warmly of his talents last week. However,
the United manager's biggest concern ahead of tomorrow's
meeting with Arsenal will be to reassure Tevez of his Old
Trafford future.
Maradona meets the rest of Manchester United's line-up
The former West Ham player has been consigned to a bit-part
role in United's season so far and looked distinctly unimpressed
when he was replaced by Wayne Rooney in the Champions
League draw at Celtic on Wednesday.

Maradona wants to speak with Tevez about his
role at the club, although a contract is yet to be
confirmed with the striker......Back To Home Page
