The Reporter Help

We have renewed the Rumours and Transfers and from now on it will be known as The Reporter.

New changes:

You have the section divided into rumours and pieces of news. You can add photos to the news and rumours. If look carefully, each news that contains an image will have a small icon next to it referring to the image.

Classification of news and rumours:

The classification of news and rumours will be based on two criteria: number of votes and ancestry. The latest and the most voted news and rumours will be displayed on the top. If for example you observe that at the end of one week a news or rumour a lot of votes goes below another article with less votes it will be because it is not so new. In any case you can choose between looking at it in this order, only the latest, the most commented on or only news or rumours.

How do I upload a news?

Inside the section, on the left you will find the "Upload news" botton.

How do I upload a rumour?

Inside this section, on the left you will find the "Upload rumour" botton.

Jones set for spell on sidelines

PIECE OF NEWS

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed defender Phil Jones will be out for 'a few weeks' after suffering ankle ligament damage during Manchester United's win at Arsenal.

The teenage stopper was stretchered off just 15 minutes into United's 2-1 triumph at Emirates Stadium after suffering the knock.

Jones had only just returned after missing last weekend's win over Bolton due to injury.

The Red Devils were dealt further blows when Nani hobbled off in the second half and left the stadium in a protective boot, while Wayne Rooney was also hobbling at the final whistle.

Ferguson, who was already without Rio Ferdinand, Anderson, Tom Cleverley, Ashley Young,Michael Owen and long-term absentees Darren Fletcher and Nemanja Vidic, said: "It's not good news for us.

"I think Jones will be out for a few weeks - it's ankle ligaments.

"Carrick was feeling his hamstring in the second half and he just had to sit in the middle of the pitch."

Welbeck

Despite United's injury woes, Ferguson took some solace from the performance of young striker Danny Welbeck, who netted United's winning goal.

"Danny was fantastic. His work-rate and movement are great - he's always on the shoulder of defenders and ready to run through [on goal]," said the boss.

"He could have scored five today - he was through three or four times. He was unlucky in that sense, but he's got the important goal and continued his run of scoring in the first team. For a 21-year-old he's doing really well."
