Manchester Uniteds David Gill is really pushing the transfer of Alexis Sanchez. United want to have the deal completed before the end of the week. The reason nothing has been announced is because Udinese are looking Kiko Macaeda and David Petrucia as part of the deal.

As for other news, Young to sign by Friday

I was also talking to Gary Pallister last month at a dinner at Old Trafford Cricket ground and he believes Sir Alex is working very hard to bring a world class midfielder to the club...

Who that is.... Who knows

I believe we are sniffing around Kaka, Nasri, Alonso, Diarra and Hulk

Hello All,

Great site. Lots of fun. Whilst it is impossible to accurately predict the outcome of any transfer dealings - these things come down to far more absurd factors than any of us could imagine - Sir Alex's preferred remaining summer targets are Mario Goetze and Yann M'Vila. Not that either Dortmund or Rennes are keen to sell, but Manchester United are obviously a better supported and historically more successful club than either of them, and therefore an attractive proposition.

Naturally many of you will choose not to believe this and I suppose that's the fun of the site, nevertheless it is entirely true.

Best Wishes! {Ed007's Note - Thanks for the compliments, maybe some of you guys would like a read at this article about clubs approaches to transfers:

"Manchester United looking at Neymar's strike partner Keirrison for reported £7m deal that could rise up to £12m"

Doubt it. Keirrison came over to Barca and had disastrous loans at Benfica and Fiorentina. He's back on loan at Santos now and I suspect will take a permanent transfer back to Brazil this summer or next January. He might come back to Europe in the future but he came over too soon.

This is just a thought but in the last couple of weeks Barcelona have been all set to sign Sanchez, then the Udinese chairman releases a statement saying nothing has been agreed because of the fee. Has anybody noticed he always mentions the fee but you never hear Barcelona say anything, i think Barcelona are fully intent on Fabregas and Udinese know that Sanchez wants to go to Man Utd. I feel the chairman is mentioning Barcelona to up the fee for a bidding war between whoever else is in for him. Personally i feel that fergie will wait and wait before matching a last effort bid by whoever else is in for him and we will get our man, probally around £30 million + add ons. Your thoughts please Ed... {Ed002's Note - My thoughts on Pozzo, Sanchez and Udinese have not changed.}

"apparently we're interested in lasanna diarra.real Madrid want 17.5million for him though.Las used to be a great player at aresenal and then he went to pompy.He was decent enough there and when he plays for real he's pretty good but i think we can get someone better.thougts ed? {Ed002's Note - A massive amount of baggage goes with him.}"

@I concur with Ed, I have heard a couple of stories regarding Lass and he does come with a vast amount of baggage. However if we could get him for a snip like VDV at around £8m, then it would be a decent buy. There is not a chance in the world that I would consider paying 20m euros for him. 10m euros would be a more realistic fee.

Ed, do you think he could be bought for that little on deadline day?

Sydney!

Man United ins:
Jones (Done)
De Gea (99.9% done)
Young (99% done)
Lassana Diarra-doubt Mourinho would let Alonso go.
Sneijder- Very mixed messages from this guy but he just doesn't want to get on the wrong side of the Inter fans, she he somehow stay.

I believe these will happen, I have no 'source' but feel these are all the most realistic and viable options.

So the United Ins will be:-

Jones(Deal Done)
Young(Almost Done)
De Gea(Almost Done)
Sneijder(Poss Nani and Cash Deal)
Edin Hazard
Diarra
Schweinsteiger(Beratov to go to Munich)

Oh god.

Everytime something appears on the paper it must be true. There is no evidence to suggest we are or were ever in for Sneijder, Modric, etc. Everybody is making a fantasy list and then assuming they know exactly who Sir Alex is going after.

I'm fed up of reading that we're leaving the likes of Sneijder to look at Adam. how do you know this? because you read The Sun this morning? Absolute rubbish.

I believe that Sir Alex has earmarked his targets are is going after them, whether they're big players or not I really couldn't give a toss.

Also a lot of posters need to decide on a few things, Young superstars such as Sanchez? or Morrison? I'd prefer the latter. You cannot buy big and then talk about bringing players such as Pogba, Tunners, Keane, etc through.


I think if Sir Alex decides to buy for instance taarabt (as the papers suggest) then if Sir Alex thinks he's good enough, a man who's been in football longer than most posters have been alive then who are we to contradict that?

If Sir Alex has the option of Akinfenwa from Gillingham or Benzema and goes for Akinfenwa then in my mind as I believe in Sir Alex Akinfenwa is best suited to our club.

A few of the negatiave posters need to take note of the follow:

Sit down, Shut up, Wait until sept 1st, so who we've bought, Criticize all you like and then on June 1st 2012 you can eat your words as we carry on our Premier League dominance.

now that it is becoming clear that guus hiddink isnt goin to be the next chelsea manager it should also come to light that sneijder will join united instead of chelsea, hiddink was apparently the main reason he would choose chelsea but as i have been sayin for over a month, its old trafford where he wants to play and SAF is confident he as already got his signature and is already looking at a defensive midfield partner to accompany him, and former liverpool and now real madrid player alonso is his ideal choice, mark my words, watch this space, read my lips, not been wrong yet!!

Here's a thought for you guys and the ed, how about playing nani cam and Toni and young on the flanks? Cleverly to be given his chance at times and we would sign another DM instead I.e diarra,

Doubt it will happen but just came into my head.

I too have thought about that. Think he would score a few more goals although i think that he would be abit too greedy and go for goal as opposed to supplying Hernandez and Rooney etc. At times his judgement is poor, if only he concentrated on beating the man and whipping a ball in like Valencia does.

In the end Nani could be the cuase of his own downfall. Has wonderful ability and could be world class if he just sorted it out.

As the saying goes, to little too late?

Ed what do you think? {Ed002's Note - I suspect he will leave - thereby resolving the concern.}

Man Utd boss Ferguson pulls back from Sneijder talks over morale concerns

according to triballfootball.

Manchester United are pulling back from talks for Inter Milan star Wesley Sneijder.

Milan sources say United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is reconsidering his push for the Dutch ace.

While happy to meet Inter's £35 million asking price, Ferguson is reluctant to match Sneijder's personal demands.

The midfielder wants £200,000-a-week to move to Old Trafford and Ferguson has concerns that would unsettle the dressing room. for me i think we need him if the money its there, buy him, at some point we'll come to pay those kind of money to someone.our midfeld its not that good.

For months now there have been stories suggesting that the Glazer family were considering an offer from the Qatari Sovereign Wealth Fund (QSWF) for the sale of Manchester United.

A couple of months ago the heavily indebted Glazers were somewhat surprisingly able to clear high interest bearing PIK note debts of over £200m from an unknown funding source.

What has become clear tonight is that the Qatari Royal Family have made an offer for Manchester United and were the source of the funds to repay the PIK notes.

However in an unusual twist the QSWF are now threatening to pull out of the deal unless Sir Alex Ferguson is sacked with immediate effect!

The reasons for their desire to see Sir Alex out of United were at first thought to revolve around the recent Bebe transfer, where United bought a truly awful player for over £8m.

Speculation as to where those transfer funds went remains a hot topic but it is now understood that the QSWF have other more specific reasons for their stance
