Beast In The East

Shanghai Shenhua confirmed Mathieu Manset's transfer to the club yesterday.

Thanks to a Google translation, that calls the Bulls 'He Rayford Alliance', the club's official site tells us that Matthew Manse, or Matthew the Manse, or Matthew Mansei, arrived in Shanghai yesterday to begin training with his new side.

Shanghai Shenhua are owned by Chinese born online gaming company magnate Jun Zhu, who is most famous in the UK for forcing the then manager to name him in the club's squad to face Liverpool, who he later tried to buy, in a friendly in 2007.
