Michael Owen will be used as bait to try and get Ashley Young. SAF is prepared for a cash + player deal to get Young and nothing else. . No straight swap and no all money deal will be offered.

How is he going to use a player who will be out of contract as bait? Please explain.

I expect 4 or 5 Players to be joining United this summer.

A GK, CDM, CAM, LM and ST

Out will be: Owen, Berbatov, Kuszczak, Obertan, Gibson etc.

GK will probably be De Gea if not then Neuer, Adler or Akinfeev
CDM will be either Rodwell, Tiote or De Rossi
CAM will be someone like Pastore
LM will be Young or Bale
ST to be someone like Benzema

@ I believe we will sign Steven Defour in the summer, if he can stay fit he will be an absolutely outstanding player.


Also been thinkin, if De Gea decides not to sign, who do you feel is his best, realistic alternative ed?

Do ye think pepe reina is completely out of the question? {Ed002's Note - I think Adler is the most likely option and Akinfeev the best option.}
