| Jan.18 - Manchester United's China striker Dong Fangzhuo has been given a British work permit and is clear to make his competitive debut2 for the Premier1 League leaders, the club said on Wednesday.
United signed the 21-year-old from Dalian Shide in January 2004 but sent him out on loan to Belgian club Royal Antwerp, where he scored 35 goals in 61 games.
Handed shirt number 21, Dong is now eligible3 to turn out in league and cup games for United and has signed a new contract until 2010. He has only played previously4 for them in pre-season friendlies, scoring the winner against Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa last July.
"We're all excited he has eventually arrived and can start playing," United manager Alex Ferguson told the club's Web site www.manutd.com. "He sacrificed two-and-a-half years at Royal Antwerp, which showed great patience and determination.
"He is quick and athletic5 and he can only improve by training with the first team squad6 here."
