Are you RED devil Army ??

Where do you sit?
I was in K Stand but this season I’ve moved to East Lower, Row BB. It’s nice and close to the action and a bit nearer the away fans so there’s a bit of banter.

How did you become a United fan?
When I was at school there was an older lad I used to knock around with who was a United fan. He’s the one who got me into it and then my first season as a regular was 1974/75. I’d been to a few London games before that – my first one was Spurs at White Hart Lane in 1971.

Any United tattoos?
Several, actually! I’ve got over 100 tattoos all over my body, including a red devil somewhere not many people see. I’ve also got a big United crest on my back that I got done when I was 17.

What's your ultimate United moment?
For me, it was beating Liverpool in the 1977 FA Cup final. It was the first cup final I’d seen us win and we stopped them winning the Treble. That one just about pips the Treble in 1999.

Worst you’ve felt as a United fan?
Not getting a ticket for Southampton in the 1976 Cup final was pretty bad and there have been some horrible defeats down the years. These days, however, I forget losses a lot quicker. Even a few hours after we lost in Rome I was thinking ahead to this season. You can’t win ‘em all.

Favourite all-time player?
My first hero was big Jim Holton. Bryan Robson was terrific too, and that was in a rubbish side. But I think I’d have to plump for Eric

Gill reflects on busy summer

David Gill took time out from United's busy pre-season schedule to chat to MUTV about the many changes at Old Trafford over the summer, and his excitement about the campaign ahead. Here's what United's chief executive had to say...

David, it was an eventful Asia Tour; was it ultimately a success?
Definitely. Of course, when we landed in Kuala Lumpur the first text message I got was about the Jakarta bombings, so we had to make a quick decision to cancel the Indonesia leg of the tour. It was disappointing, but it was the right decision and we settled in Malaysia with everyone pulling together to arrange a second game. Asia is a key region for us, and these tours are a combination of working with our commercial partners and seeing our many fans. In that sense, it was a great success.

Another headline-grabbing summer story was the surprise arrival of Michael Owen. How have you assessed his impact so far?
Sir Alex is the best person to measure that, but watching from the sidelines I’ve been delighted. He’s enthusiastic and very happy to be here. We’d discussed signing him for a while – we were aware that he was out of contract at the end of the season, so he was someone we kept an eye on. I hope he’ll prove to be a great signing for us.

What are your thoughts on Cristiano Ronaldo's departure to Real Madrid?
Well, I think Alex said it all: he gave us six wonderful years of service, he was a great player and played a big part in our success. We’re disappointed he’s gone – he’s the best player in the world – and we’ll miss him. But we’ll make amends: we’ve brought in good players and other players will respond. Hopefully we play against him and Real Madrid this season... and beat them easily!

Is it unprecedented
