A lot od people seem to be saying that Ronaldo is off to Chelsea. Have he and Mourinho not fallen out and he wants some space apart from Mourinho? If so why would he follow him to Chelsea? Do not expect this move to happen one bit.
Surprise surprise Mourhinio leaves behind a huge clearing up operation how far are Real Madrid behind the big guns of Europe next season Thank god we didn't get him

Anyone else see the irony in Ronaldo getting sent off for a girlie petulant act
And RM end with a typical oaf like mourinho ending
17 May 2013 23:10:33
Just thinking about how many more trophies CR7 would of won w/ us than RM. Never should of left.

Is there any interest in arda turan or el shaarwary I think they would be good playing from the left and give us a different dimension. Especially el shaarwary he is very very good and only going to get better personally I think he is better than neymar and he is only going to get better. Also got a good feeling about next season I think we will do a lot better in europe although SAF is a legend and has done brilliant I think a new approach with
fresh ideas and tactics may bring something else out of the players. This is in no way having a go at SAF its just I am more excited by the thought of next season because it is going to be so diferent. I think moyes will win champions league and fa cup but be second in the league that's my prediction.

Ed, what sort of formation do you think United will play next season under Moyes?
Nat {Ed004's Note - 4-2-3-1}
17 May 2013 18:39:31
I am stating what I believe what will happen. I think we will see the headlines. "Rooney signs new deal" "I want to stay at United for life" Moyes first signing is Rooney". Then Rooney will get a new deal and more money and we will be expected to celebrate as though we have made some major signing and think that Moyes is somehow organised this when in reality I don't believe that Rooney or his agent have any intention of leaving the club they are just trying to get a new deal. My respect for Moyes would rise dramatically if he came out and said I don't want players who don't want to play for this club so we are letting him go.
He's done it once and some of you forgave him which I understand even if I didn't but to insult the club and its supporters twice surely not one of you can defend that.
There are one or two on here who feel Rooney can do no wrong, that he is at the peak of his career and that he has been mistreated by the club.
I am not one of the deluded few.
Sydney!
Kloot try reading the posts, its pretty much 70% in favour of getting rid, probably higher.
I agree that he's only trying to get a new deal, however I don't think the same trick will work twice. On his current form he's not worth keeping for the wages he's costing.
Mort
He's done as far as I'm concerned. Don't want him.
1996
SAF was having very heated discussions with United about a new contract. In the countdown to the Cup Final it worsened. On the eve of the game Fergie had a heated discussion with Maurice Watkins.
Fergie admitted in his autobiography Managing My Life: “I was absolutely disgusted. It got to the point where I was not prepared to be ridiculed and felt that on a matter of principle I might have to resign. ”
Newcastle were sniffing but hopes of getting SAF were dashed. A domestic Double sparked United to offer Ferguson a new four-year deal worth £650,000 a-year plus bonuses.
I am not defending Rooney but SAF Keane and Rio have had to squeeze deals out of the club in the past.
Whether Rooney is deserving of a new deal is a different matter.
Red Man
Weren't most of us saying earlier in the season we want him sold due to his lack of quality on the pitch?
Even if he didn't want to leave, I still want him out for his pathetic excuses of performances.
-JakeW
He should be gone for good. don't need players to threaten manchester united to get a bigger deal. He can go any where he likes and its about time he should be shown the door. He did it to us once. No knes bigger then the ckub.
Singh
I don't think its a case of does rooney want to stay any more, but who would be willing to pay for him. similar to nani last year.
if no suitor can be found united will offer rooney another contact extension but at much lower wage so neither party loses face
either way utd win
dags
I for one hope moyes pleases you kloot
Didn't Kloot post this earlier in the week move on he's going end of. The only way he will stay is if our no. 1 target doesn't come off!
Dylan
Don't think I need to state my feelings about Rooney on here again, i'll just say I hope we don't see him in our famous red ever again.
Brendan81
Yer it's time we moved him on. I'm pretty sure he won't play again for our club, burnt too many bridges this time the person
I love the fact the dislike of one man can bring so many different people together, sort of puts the United in Manchester United.
Kloot it seems your following grows
Jred
Without a doubt your best post Kloot well done mate
Jred
Could not have put it better mysef. Stunner!
Syd
Deluded are we? Well everyone has a "Cleverly" to be hooked to right?
Deeps.
Buying RVP was the real killer chess move by Fergie here. Wins us the league and weakens Rooney's position as our star attraction. At best we will offer him a deal on same cash before his 2010 hike when he held us to ransom. Meantime we will make enquiries everywhere across Europe and if a club offers £30m he will go. Fly in the ointment is Rooney will want to keep same exorbitant wage he's on now naturally which narrows the field as to where he can go.
Personally I think he should go. No-one is bigger than the club.
I certainly do not hate Rooney and I appreciate his input over his Manchester United career. However the fact remains he has not been looking after himself physically for a number of years now and that has affected his performances on the pitch, more notably this season. Rooney has been showing obvious signs of decline and the club would be foolish to ignore it.
It would be silly to pay Rooney a king's ransom when he is no longer essential to the first team, especially if he continues to live an unhealthy lifestyle. We have tried him in midfield and that doesn't work. So is it any surprise the club want to try and offload him? That being said the lack of interest elsewhere could mean him staying here. Just like Nani is still here.
Deeps, Cleverley isn't my fave player by a long-shot. In fact I am pretty disappointed that he hasn't kicked on as much as I'd hoped, but it is his first full season as a United and England player and next season will be a better indication to whether or not he will be anything more than a squad player. I simply believed Cleverley deserved a fair chance at United before being forced out by some fans just like Gibson was.
Well I am out for the whole day today with the missus and kids so have a nice day lads.
Sydney!
Sydney
Gibson wasn't forced out by some fans as you put it, he was sold because he wasn't good enough and it should have been recognised earlier.
Cleverley has not impressed me so far and could easily follow Gibson, perhaps to Everton unless he shows something next season that we haven't seen before, but who really thinks he can do that?

Guys, Ronaldo now odds on to sign for Chelsea.
Goes from bad to worse.
Fergie retires, Beckham + Scholes retire, now Ronaldo to Chelsea?
I know its no where near confirmed.
But the prospect of Ronaldo and Mourinho at Chelsea is terrifying. We'd have to sign Bale to remain even competitive.
Get a grip Jake.
Sydney!
17 May 2013 15:07:41
OMG well that's it then, may as well scrap the league next year and you can get SAF to hand the trophy right over to Mourinho after the game on Sunday.
What shall we do now ffs.
Im not sure Ronaldo and Mourinho are the best of friends.
Last time I checked we was odds on to sign Falcao, what was never going to happen.
Why does everyone have this idea that Ronaldo will follow Jose wherever? I'm pretty sure they've had a clash of personalities and don't get on, just something I read. Jose may not do too well at Chelsea, the squad he built previously has all but gone and the current dressing room has some big characters and we may see a repeat of Madrid
It's very strange that Ronaldo is now every bookies favourite to sign for Chelsea, but i'm not complaining! From A Happy Chelsea Fan! :) P. S Don't think it will happen though!
He is 6/4 to go to Chelsea (IF he leaves Madrid), the last I checked that is not odds on. Get a grip.
Would people still love ronaldo if he went to chelsea? {Ed004's Note - No}
17 May 2013 16:01:37
Syd, its come through a guy I follow on twitter and seems to have a lot of informatives inside united, he's pretty reliable.
And I was merely mentioning it. And you can't deny that Mourinho + Ronaldo + Chelsea is scary.
If he goes to Chelsea, it will strengthen them, that goes without saying, he'll strengthen any team he goes to.
I hope this does not happen though, as contrary to what people think, Chelsea have got a very good team, quite a lot of young players. And yes, if Ronaldo goes there, they will be odds on to win the league.
But it is all paper talk at present, so let's not get too worked up about it.

Chelsea will be our biggest rivals next season whoever the manager is and whoever they sign.
Jake, how will a bloke with 'informatives' at United know who Chelsea are going to sign? Be realistic.
If he was that adamant he will sign for Chelsea, then why put on a mere £150. If this is certain to happen then why not one or two naughts on the end? It's not like he's short of a few quid.

Thiago Alcantara has been told he can leave, surely we will go for him! Been an interest in him before. so expect a bid very soon
Unproven and unwanted by barca, so we've got to go for safer options in my opinion.
Nomidfield
17 May 2013 17:52:57
He'd only be playing to try and impress Barca and get a move back. Or he'd get homesick. Would effectively be a two season loan. Can't really see the point. I'd rather have someone commited to United not playing for a move to Spain.
17 May 2013 13:26:28
Here's a question for you all, what was your favourite David beckham free kick? For me it had to be the one against Madrid in the 4-3 win or the one in his final game against Everton!
For United or in general?
United - would be against Man City
And ever would be against Greece for England!
aaallj5
The one against Greece for England at Old Trafford.
17 May 2013 14:19:28
Mine was de 3 all draw wit barca in de group stage of de champs league. Great free kick
Cork city red!
Against city - can't remember the year but think we ended up winning it 1 nil at maine road?
17 May 2013 12:36:06
Its sad to see Becks hang up his boots, probably the greatest generation of footballers ever and it makes you wonder where the time has gone.
I was watching the treble season and i'm just going to say David May was the greatest footballer ever! But not for his ability on the pitch, but his ability to get his face in the most iconic photos next to the trophies. He was always next to the trophy!
Regarding Baines and Moyes, some people say that he is to old, but it might not be a bad thing getting 3 to 4 years out of him. This is feasible considering he has no pace to start with. Then I think we should really consider Shaw from Southhampton, I believe he could be one of the greats, keep an eye on him next year.
aaallj5
Shaw will end up at Chelsea.
Greatest generation of footballers ever? not even greatest english generation, you forgetting the babes?
17 May 2013 11:55:08
Hi Ed's has anyone seen bringronaldohome.org/
Would this even be legal/possible? Fans already pay enough money out and now some people seem to think we should directly help fund new buys!
Stew4d {Ed002's Note - Flakes.}
This has sucker written all over it, probably from Nigeria
Anyone who donates to that is an absolute plank, so what are they going to do with all the money when Ronaldo doesn't come back? Refund every single person? I doubt it
17 May 2013 12:37:28
Pardoe, what has Nigeria got to do with that? Is that Ronaldo's home?
Read this online somewhere that whoever gives a pledge of a tenner will receive
a) Ronaldo replica shirt - if he signs
b) tenner refund - if he fails to sign.
Want to know who's paying for the millions of shirts lol
So it was a bad idea to transfer mt life savings to them? Is that what you're saying? :0
HBadger
If this was 'official' I would have donated already. Obviously with the amount of publicity, I'd be surprised if it did turn out to be a scam - but with the distinct lack of:
- Manchester United signaling that they want to buy Ronaldo.
- Real Madrid signaling that they want to sell Ronaldo.
- Ronaldo signaling that he wants to come back to Manchester United.
I'm going to have to give it a miss.
17 May 2013 15:36:42
pardoe what is it with nigeria, are u trying to insult us or what
Apparently if he does not sign then u will only receive back 7 of the 10 pounds u paid. Has scam written all over it if u ask me.
I met the guy who claims to be
organizing the website in the Trafford pub
on Monday, he was an Aussie fella
can't remember his name as I was severely
pissed! I never donated but had 2 free pints of him lol

Stanod, don't take it personally.
Most of the spam emails we get over here in the UK, promising us untold riches if we give over our bank details, emanate from Nigeria, or used to at any rate.
17 May 2013 11:04:01
I'd just like to pay tribute to the legend himself that's gone under the rader and has been overshadowed by Fergie's and Beckham's retirement plans because he doesn't want the media attention, Paul Scholes. No rubbish, no nonsense, my favourite player of all time bar none. We're all going to miss you at this great club and no player will ever replace or replicate what you have done for the club. Thank You Scholesy, true united legend.
17 May 2013 10:56:15
how much do you expect rooney to go for.
torres 50m
carroll 35m
i expect at least 40million for the best english player, whether he is playing well or not.
Tbh he will go for as much as a club is willing to pay, u can't really compare transfer fee from other players
Chris the REDman
Torres and Carroll were special circumstances, you cannot compare them to transfers
Rooney I believe £35m at least
Richmond
Based on age, current body shape and form I would think we would be lucky to get £30m
Gar
IMO £25m-£30m if sold.
Sydney!
If his name was Joe Bloggs and you'd watched all his games this season how much would you pay for him? I think we'll do well to get £25m.
Yes but you don't judge a player on their performances throughout one season, you judge them on their career and their media/marketing pull. Rooney has had a great career with a fantastic record and the media seem to be all over him all the time, whether its good or bad. Sell him while we can in my opinion. I'd take anything above £25m
If £25m as someone suggested, where are we going to buy a player of Rooney's talent and experience for that sort of money?
If we sell, then we have to try and get a top price for him. Contrary to what people think, he is not finished, he's only 27 and has many years in him.
If he goes to a club who can manage his weight issues, then we will be the losers.
Nomidfield
17 May 2013 10:19:16
Going to predict what's going to happening this transfer window
Nani/Rooney/Macheda/Bebe will be sold total income £45m/£50m
Strootman/Di Maria/Lew will come in for £50m/£60m
Powell/Henriquez/M. Keane all going out on loan
I would be more than happy if this comes true
Richmond
What and spend no extra money can't see that some how
You don't always need to spend every penny mate. You need to invest in what you need I believe this is it. I would love Ronaldo back but its not going to happen
Richmond
I think nani Anderson and Rooney will be sold. But I would like to see, modric, strootnan/wanyama, lewindawski and Ronaldo.
Now that will be a statement.
But I'm sure non won't happen.

Sir Alex Ferguson on Beckham's goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon in 1996:
'How can you forget that 60-yard goal? He tried it about 10 minutes before he scored and I said to my assistant Brian Kidd, "If he tries that again, he's off. "
'At the time, David was getting carried away a bit and you are always trying to keep his feet on the ground.
'When the goal goes in, Kiddo turns to me and says, "We'll have to take him off!"'

17 May 2013 08:39:38
Theres a player who no ones mentioned who I think would be perfect for us.
His name is Romulo Borges Monteiro.
He plays for Spartak Moscow atm, who he joined from Vasco de Gama. He plays as a high energy defensive shield in midfield. His reading of the game is exceptional and his work rate is second to none. His passing is unspectacular but effective. He is the master of nipping in and taking the ball then playing a quick give and go pass to turn defense into attack in an instant. Although it was Oscar who caught the eye at the olympics for Brazil, his performances were built on the work of Romulo. He would be a great signing and one who wouldn't cost the earth.
He is that high energy and defensive yet cultured midfielder we are looking for. Him along side Carrick would be a great midfield base on which to build.
For those of you know him, the penny may have just dropped and you'll be thinking "why didn't I think of him before", and those of you who don't know him I would say go watch this guy. He's abit like Sandro at Spurs, but without all the injuries and imo has more potential.
Shappy you are spot on with this guy, I think he is better than sandro and has good feet unlike most defensive mids
his potential is not even up for debate, can see him playing for r Madrid eventually
Interesting but he's only just back after a long period out with a cruciate ligament injury. Too soon to assess whether this has affected his long term form.
17 May 2013 11:10:43
I know he has had a nasty injury, but I still feel he is worth moving for. Bare in mind that the Russian season runs differently to ours, if we were to move for him it would more than likely be in the January window after the Russian season has finished. By that time we will see how he has recovered.
17 May 2013 12:55:03
I saw a bit of Romulo myself, and for some reason I was expecting you to write something about him. I think he would be a brilliant signing. Good on the ball, 22years old, a ton of potential. But unfortunatly he:m's not the best passer around. His range is quite limited.
For me that wouldn't be a deal breaker, but as he saw with Carrick a couple of years back, Fergy seems to be going to the deep lying playmaker over the box to box/ defensive type and. I hope Noyes woukdnt have the same stance, we do need a midfield powerhouse protecting the back four.
But I would actually prefer Strootman over him. Strootman offers the same defensive ability, but is a much better passer and is physically stronger. The only thing Romulo has over Strootman is a yard of pace.
Mick
17 May 2013 14:34:52
His passing isn't the strongest aspect of his game. But it's enough for the role he plays.
As for what I would expect from Moyed tactic wise? I would expect him to stay true to his tactics similar to what he was working towards with Everton. He favours hard work in midfield, and he I would expect that to lead him towards a defensive midfielder or box to box type midfielder. He also likes to play a pressing game over a sit back and soak up game. This would I think maybe mean he'll favour a box to box player slightly ahead of a defensive midfielder.
I think we may have to wait to see who comes in to work out how he wants to get us playing.
16 May 2013 19:54:18
hey edd quality site enjoy reading the rumours on this site 2nd to none keep up the good work! what do you think of the nani situation? I think he will be juve bound and poss marchisio in return also I think di maria will be the 1 we get to fill the void winger position hopefully i'm proved wrong and its ronnie or bale but I think that's a long shot also think strootman will be the midfielder purchased hope to hear your thoughts on my post cheers {Ed004's Note - I don't think Marchisio will leave Juve but I could see a nani leaving them. I think our signings will be Baines, Strootman, Di Maria and Lewandowski}

Has there ever been a bigger muppet than John Terry? Putting aside his long list of off field misdemeanours, to appear in full kit to celebrate a Cup win you didn't play in is incredibly sad, particularly when he got stick for doing it last year but simply did it again. He's either incredibly thick or incredibly arrogant. I'm guessing both
Heard that before the final he purchased a Benfica kit. just in case they won!
Red Snapper
Ps the bloke is a complete and utter twa#
Yeah true and Marin, Romeu and Betrand too and rooney last week
n
To be fair Rooney played in the Villa game that clinched the title
MEF
Rooney was in his kit while watching the match
He's doing it so in ten years time when everyone looks back at photo's he will be there in full kit and everyone will think he played, imagine if Keane and Scholes had done it in 1999? Kids wouldn't that they didn't play
I imagine they have to. you can't have all players in a photo with the trophy in there kits then a couple in suits and plus sponsorship deals is another massive thing
17 May 2013 01:31:49
Just a wee thought on Becks retiring.
Can't see him being tactically knowledgeable enough to be a first team coach, but think we could do worse than ask him to coach our young lads, maybe at U16/17 level.
His work ethic has always been second to none, he has a great enthusiasm for the game, and especially United, and he has a great way about him with the kids.
I know he probably has other interests he wants to pursue, but think it would be nice to see him back in this type of role, and for our young lads to see Becks on the training ground every day, would surely help to inspire them to make the most of the talent they have.
Not likely I know, but a nice thought nevertheless.
Great post
17 May 2013 08:02:07
I think he is too good and too important a person to be training our kids. He'll have job offers all over the world. I would make him an ambassador for the club as it would give him the freedom to continue his other ventures but will keep him linked to the club. We could then maybe send him to meet potential signing to help sway then to sign for us like Madrid do with Zidane.
Agreed snappy. I also think that scholes, giggs, sosjkaer and Gary Neville will make better coaches, and are more tactically aware than beckham.
Sad to see him retire, he was a true professional and performed brilliantly for us.
Nomidfield
Shappy, I agree, he'll have enough on his plate. Nice thought tho.
NoMidfield - I was talking about the kids, not the first team or reserves. I said "he probably wasn't tactically knowledgeable" enough.
Can't think of many better than Becks, to show young lads how to pass a ball properly.
Or take a bloody corner ;)

16 May 2013 23:59:52
Theres been talk of Baines and Fellaini joining since Moyes was given the top job. IMO this is just paper talk. United will have been working on transfers for months and as long as Moyes isn't dead against them then I would expect us to follow through with those moves. Also Moyes hasn't even taken a training session yet, how will he have judged what he has to work with and thus what he needs to bring in?
So I doubt we'll see any Everton players join us this summer.
But even so i'm not sure about Baines, he is top class and clearly better than Evra. But he's 28 and has never had a top team consider him before. He does lack pace, although his positioning and reading of the game does mean this doesn't effect him too much. I just don't see him in a United shirt.
Now Fellaini is and interesting one. If we were to sign him as a DM/Box to Box midfielder then I would be all for it. But I wouldn't want to see him join as a No. 10 attacking midfielder. Quite simply we already have better options in that role. But I think he could have a Yaya Toure type effect if he was to play in midfield for us. Only Carrick and Evra have completed more passes than him this season out of our squad, and when you consider that he's been playing in a more advanced position which makes it harder to complete your passes that is impressive. And only Rafael has completed more tackles. My only concern with him is I think at times he can be too physical. But he would certainly add bite and drive to our midfield. And he is better than what we currently have.
I'm not advocating buying him, just pointing out that if he was to come depending on his role it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. Although I do believe there to be cheaper and better suited midfielders out there for us.
Shappy, RVP purchase shows that age doesn't have to be a factor. We've more than enough young lads coming through, and I think it's time to add some experienced, top class talent to the first team.
Baines will, and probably should be England's number one. I'd pay half of his fee for the set piece delivery alone.
We'd still get three or four good years out of him, as he's never relied on his pace.
Yes, we wouldn't get any sell-on value, but we're a big enough club not to be thinking about that as a pre-requisite for every purchase we make.
I'd love to have him at the club, even though it would probably mean one of our best servants in recent years, would have to depart.
Snappy interesting stats there I know Fellaini himself believes his position is as a DM but I would worry he would just be a long ball option
17 May 2013 07:58:52
I just can't imagin him in a red shirt. Strictly from a professional point of view he needs to sort out that damn awful 1970's haircut. Lol. I'm just sceptical of signing an older LB, to replace our current LB who has to go because his legs have gone. Its an expensive short term fix. Then you need to consider that we have Fabio and Buttner who need games if they are to improve and become genuine contenders for first choice LB. I think we'll see Evra stay one more year with Buttner getting more game time so he can take over from Evra completely for the 2014/15 season.
Age has always been a factor for United. RVP was the exception because 1) he is a world class player who can win matches himself and 2) we were getting him at a good price. Baines, while a good LB, does not have the aura and ability to win games like RVP has (yes I realize he is a good dead ball specialist). I'd rather us go for a Coentrao than Baines but if we got Baines at a good price (15 or under) then I definitely wouldn't be upset.
I've said time and again fellaini has all the attributes to be be a yaya type player,
Jred
You were obviously never a Mod, Shappy :)
If it wasn't for my job, I'd still have my hair like that!
Jred, I think AJH mentioned it before.
This time last year, a lot of people on here were getting quite excited about the thought of Fellaini coming here.
Played in the right position, I think you might be right with the Yaya comparison.
Although, the few times I've seen him play in the middle, I haven't been that impressed, even though he claims he prefers playing there.
Tough one - for the right money, I certainly wouldn't be too upset if he came here. People tend to forget what he did to us on a few occasions, but I'm sure Moyes hasn't.
But I'd probably have others higher up my wishlist.
B. Sheringham? Berbatov? Van der Saar?
Age has always been a factor when saf was here, and I think this will be the case with Moyes.
With regards justifying his purchase fee on the basis of his delivery, well he is left floored, and at the moment we have rvp, who has a superb delivery.
If we buy him, we've got to do so on his defensive prowess, and then on his attacking, delivery etc.

NoMidfield - Sheringham? Berbatov? Van der Saar?
What's the point of having your centre forward taking corners, when you can have someone else doing it?
And no offence to RVP, but Baines has better delivery.
My point was, that Baines brings a lot more to the table than just a standard left back.

Steve mate i'm far to young to be a mod. Lol.
I would worry how we would use Fellaini if we signed him, but like I said if he was used in midfield I would be happy.
I think the reason he doesn't stand out when playing as a DM is actually DM's by their nature don't stand out. They do the dirty unseen work. Yaya only stands out when he attacks teams, same with Vidal and all DM's.
Aslong as he doesn't play as a no. 10 and that he cost less than 20m I think he would be a good signing.
