We are being linked with Ruben Pardo of Real Sociedad. Now, I will happily admit that I do not follow Spanish football and have never heard of him. He is reputed to be the "next Cesc Fabregas" and available for only £2 million or so. Can anyone tell me anything about him and whether the reports linking him to MUFC might be true?

Great news we need more Pardo (e)'s

He looks a decent prospect real madrid were reported to be looking at him but he's only 20 a Prospect at best surely

For £2m where is the risk. could be the next michu

It's okay saying the next Michu but for every Michu there has been 100 flops for that price. £2mill doesn't sound a lot in football terms but we need to concentrate all our resources in some much needed areas. Has needed addressing for some time. Left wing, midfield etc

Paul Scholes is being lined up by Pep Guardiola to join him as part of the coaching staff at Bayern Munich

Personally I think that is an excellent idea. He would learn loads over there which he could bring back and use to help us with in a few years time. I doubt he'll go though as he is a family man and wouldn't want to up root his kids.

Complete rubbish, why would he go to Germany and work under Pep? Paul Scholes is dubbed by the best players in the world as the best and most complete midfielder in history, don't think there is much he needs to learn to be honest.

He said in his interview with Gary Neville that he quite likes the idea of becoming a manager and "teaching football the way it's meant to be played"

He has nothing about playing football to learn (apart from maybe tackling). But he has a great deal to learn about coaching, and as he has never experianced anything outside of United in his playing career then I think coaching abroad would teach him a great deal.

Lets not be ignorant and think that the United way is the only or best way to teach/train players. There is a lot to be learned from other cultures and other teams. Especially from a team in the champions league final and possibly the best club side in the world on current form.

Like I said, I don't think he would go due the family reasons. But I think he should if the oppertunity turns up.

He is most likely to go to Oldham as he is a bigs latics fan. He hates being away from his family to so Munich is a no go

Munich is only a couple of hours flight away. Its not that far. Travelling back and forth is not that much of a problem, several friends of mine commute weekly between Grrmany and Britain.

Scholes will take a part time role at a club to train him self up at utd or oldham devoting his spare time to family

Tackling Classes right? Unbelievable some of these rumours

Complete rubish. He is so manchester orientated and family orientated, he will not be moving to germany to get coaching experience.

Apparently Real Madrid are interested in Isco. Would be a shame cause he's a player we need/want.

How do you know we want Isco? He plays a very similar position to Kagawa.

Ozwald {Ed004's Note - No Isco plays out wide left and comes inside whereas Kagawa is better starting off inside}

An attack line of isco kagawa and one of Rodriguez/lamela/reus would be perfect in behind Rvp

Yeah his preferred position is to play more central though and you often find him in most games playing through the middle, he can play out wide left much better than kagawa. When he first turned up at Malaga Santi Carzola was already in that role so Isco was played out wide!

Anyway the point I was trying to make was how the original poster knew he's a target for us.

Everyone cannot sign for man utd

Today's press reporting we are interested, again, in Benzema. Same report says Rooney and Fabregas off to PSG. Rooney to earn £15m pa, after tax!
I really hope we don't chase Benzema, he didn't want to come tows a few years ago and he's not really been great at Real Madrid.

That must be some wage as I think tax in France is about 75%
Or maybe it's not true

Perhaps it would be paid through Amazon or Google!

Lol, that might be the next tax loop hole

He's not been great? in his 2nd and 3rd season he scored 26 and 32goals and a lot of assists
this season it was just the 19goals but still got 20 assists
87 goals and 45 assists in the last three seasons is great especially since Ronaldo would be the one being supplied most of the goals rather than Benzema
