DONG'S NEW UNITED DEAL

China international Dong Fangzhou has signed a new deal with Manchester United and has
been cleared to play for the Barclays Premiership leaders.

The 21-year-old forward has signed a contract which lasts until 2010 and is now able to
make his competitive debut having received a work permit.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson told official club website www.manutd.com: “We're
all excited he has eventually arrived and can start playing.

“He sacrificed two-and-a-half years at Royal Antwerp, which showed great patience and determination.

“He is quick and athletic and he can only improve by training with the first-team squad here.”

United signed Dong from Dalian Shide three years ago, but the player has since been loaned
out to United's feeder club Antwerp in order to gain the work permit.

Dong signs Reds dea

lChinese international Dong Fangzhuo has signed a new contract with the Reds until 2010
and is now eligible to play for United.

Dong, a tall, athletic and speedy forward, will wear the number 21 shirt at Old Trafford
and will become the first ever Chinese player to play for the Reds when he makes his
competitive debut.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has described his eligibility to play as "exciting".

"We're all excited he has eventually arrived and can start playing," he told ManUtd.com.
"He sacrificed two and a half years at Royal Antwerp, which showed great patience and determination.

"He is quick and athletic and he can only improve by training with the first team squad here."

The 21-year-old striker signed for United from Dalian Shide in January 2004 and has since
spent two years on loan with Belgian side Royal Antwerp.

At Antwerp, he scored an impressive 35 goals in 61 games. Now, having secured a work
permit to play in England, he can begin playing competitive matches.

He has pulled on the red shirt before during pre-season friendlies. Last summer he scored
the winning goal against Kaizer Chiefs in Cape Town as part of United's tour of South Africa.
