Manchester United Rumours Archive April 08 2015

Hi Ed002, I've seen comments from you over the past couple of months stating that it is likely we will look for a striker this summer. You've mentioned Ings and Benzema but do we have any interest in Vietto at Villarreal?

Thanks

{Ed002's Note - Atletico, Genoa, Juventus, Liverpool and Real Madrid all enquired after Vietto in the summer of 2013. I understand that there is current interest from Atletico, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Juventus with Spurs having approached his agent at the end of February as well. An interesting side issue is that Barcelona, unable to buy players before January 2016, have offered to provide Villareal with a player (apparently suitable for their first team) on loan from this coming summer if they can get an option on the player for January. I think that is unlikely to work out and talks will soon begin with Real Madrid.}

I see a lot of people discussing the striker situation with RVP rumoured to be sold and the likelihood of Falcao not being signed. The name mentioned quite persistently at the moment is Cavani. Regular names include Ronaldo and Benzema, Schmeichel mentioned Ibrahimovic but one name that I haven't seen mentioned is Lewandowski? It was only in Feb when rumours (and I appreciate they are only rumours) that he was potentially unhappy at Bayern? Personally I think he'd be ideal, a proper number 9 for Rooney to play off. Perhaps an Ed could give any information on these rumours and if there is any potential development with his position at Bayern.

Apologise if this has been dealt with.

{Ed002's Note - Lewandowski won't be moving to Manchester United.

Ed is it true that Chelsea are interested in hummels? If so which move do you think is most likely for him?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any interest in him from Chelsea at this time.}
