Sky are currently linking Real Madrid DM Sami Khedira with United. Probably just the usual nonsense though!

Believable28 Unbelievable24

Good player but we dont really need a defensive midfielder, yesterday we lacked creativity in midfield. I believe SAF when he says there wont be signings, i think he'll wait and get Modric in the summer. Saying that, id love a cheeky punt on Xabi Alonso although im not sure Madrid would part with him.

Agree0 Disagree0

We do need a DM! and and AM. We also need a defender or two to cover for injuries and a right back.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why do we need a dm, just because every other team seems to have one? We have players who can play that role when needed, its creativity we are crying out for. Funny how people want a dm brought in just for the sake of it. I hear city are signing a player with 3 feet, should we go and buy one too?!

Agree0 Disagree0

No! we need one to make sure the defence are well looked after. I'm not just saying it for the fun of it. We need a Hargreave type figure in the squad. Sure players can fill in the role like Jones.

Agree0 Disagree0

We need both but first a creative midfielder if our centre midfield can keep the ball a lot better than they have, then their will be less pressure going onto the defence. As i remember fletcher at full fitness works perfectly as defensive midfeilder. such a shame hes out. Even though hes not a crunching tackler, when you have him hassling a player for the ball its effective. Hes been a up their as one the best big game players we have, when he is at FULL fitness. coming back after being out for half a year and playing the big teams at the start of the season aint easy.

I'm absolutely shocked by the news I've just received from a very reliable source, I'm stunned, I'm dumbfounded and you aren't going to believe me but my source IS genuine and Rooney is off in January!!!

Believable46 Unbelievable85

Shut up he's got a strain at the game you are a mupet

Agree0 Disagree0

So having a strain would stop him leaving would it? Muppet

Agree0 Disagree0

What a numpty...

Agree0 Disagree0

It wouldn't surprise if it was true or he was refusing to play until we get some quality players

Agree0 Disagree0

Could be true rooney looks like he dosnr wanna be here!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Where did this come from.

Do you think it could happen and please don't say City.

Agree0 Disagree0

Is he going to pool???????

Agree0 Disagree0

Looks like someone celebrated new year early who is your source or is it just that voice in your head telling you things AGAIN
Onecut

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm a good friend of waynes father and there is nothin of the sort Wayne will go when united get ronaldo money an will not go to a league rival

Agree0 Disagree1

Thanks

Agree0 Disagree0

Guess what i don't believe you

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance. The only way this could be true is if Madrid really do want rid of Ozil and Higuain(spelling) and they are on the way to Utd along with some coin. He wouldnt go to City, Barca dont need him and Anywhere else is a step down.

Agree1 Disagree0

Another liar

Agree0 Disagree0

What do you mean barca don't need him. They didnt need fabregas but now look. and with villa wanting out of barca. Who knows??

Agree0 Disagree0

Rooney and hernandez will never leave, hope we buy sneijder and hazard

Man united sent scouts to watch Mauricio Isla of Udinese in thier last match against Juventus on the 21st December. Isla can play left back and right back and also anywhere in midfield he is a chilian international and aged 24. Price has been quoted in 9 million.

United have also been watching Willian from Shakhtar over the last 2 months. He has played excellent against Roma in the Champions League both home and away. He can play wide but can also play in the Scholes role. Price quoted is 11-14 million.

Watch this space??

Believable25 Unbelievable23

Fairly sure we were keeping tabs on Douglas Costa of Shakter as well, don't know what happened to him but he looked pretty exciting. Willian also looked alright but i doubt this is true. Big fan of Isla, Chile seems to be producing quite a lot of talent lately, but yeah i know Isla has been playing LB at Udinese since Zapata was sold?

Id take them 2 good shouts good ages room to improve quality versatile tick all the boxes
reasonible wages and from two decent but not huge clubs making them obtainable
pato rodriquez and jan verthogen would also tick all the boxes

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm a fan of Isla. Very versatile and skillful also. Would be happy to see him at O.T.

theguardian -

Luka Modric has alerted Chelsea and Manchester United that he may be open to a move away from Tottenham when the January transfer window opens.

Dont know how reliable if theguardian, but he is the player we want. He becomes available and we place 30 - 35m on table for him.

Moca

Believable30 Unbelievable22

Statistically the guardian has best % of right shouts on transfers, although I can't believe Levy would sell him when spurs are so close to CL footy

Pardoe

Agree0 Disagree0

In January, Modric is worth 50 million - not a penny less... don'5 forget there is competition with two rich teams.
