Ed if you could shed some wisdom please regarding christen Ericsson some papers say he will move in the summer an the most likely destination would be spurs or Liverpool our name never came into it which I tought strange an I'm wondering if it's just a paper seller or does it have substance an if so are we monitoring the situation

Thanks in advance

CAIN {Ed002's Note - Liverpool, Manchester City, Roma, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Spurs, Inter and AC Milan have shown some level of interest in Eriksen in the past year or so. He has already rejected both Manchester City and Chelsea but AC Milan and Spurs remain the most interested clubs. I would not rule out Bayern Munich, Manchester City or other previously interested clubs regaining interest in him - although I would say that it is unlikely that Inter or Chelsea would be interested. Back in July the Milan Press Office were convinced of interest from Manchester United and they have let it be known that they expected a bid to be made by for Eriksen. Expect Milan and Roma to press if a bid is made by Manchester United and I remain in agreement with them that there is every chance of that happening. The player remains adament that he will stay in Amsterdam for18 more months before moving to Spain but would likely jump at the chance of a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona if the opportunity arises. However, Ajax will not let him run down his contract so a move beckons in the summer. The player will see out the rest of the season at Ajax and see if he can attract attention from Spain.}

Thanks for that ;)

Can't see Fergie signing a midfielder again. Even if Scholes retires and Fletcher doesn't come back he still has Carrick, Anderson, Jones, Giggs, Kagawa and Cleverley. Even Rooney and Raphael have played there. Young, Zaha and Nani could play a central attacking role. I, like most people on here think we need a midfielder or two but stubborn Fergie doesn't I fear. Especially given his recent comments regarding Powell and Januzaj.

How many of those who said Rooney would leave still stand by that in the wake of SAF's comment this morning?

Or are you going to tell us he's playing mind games?

Get over it Rooney is still the beating heart of the team just look at the effect he had when he came on against Real.

Did you honestly expect him to say anything else.
'He's finished'
'We're desperate to get rid of him'
'Not fit enough'
Would knock millions off his price in one swipe.

He may or may not leave. Do you not remember when SAF said that he wouldn't even sell Madrid a virus, nevermind Ronaldo? Well where is Ronaldo now? Point proven.

I wouldn't expect the manager to say anything different. We have a league title to win.

Sydney!

I also seem to recall a Mr Ferguson saying Beckham wouldn't leave United and that he wouldn't sell Madrid a virus! let's just wait and see what happens come the summer. If he goes he goes the club will go on. If he stays then brilliant!

What effect was that, he missed a sitter from 6 yards. Hernandez would have scored that with his eyes shut.
Was he the heart beat of the team when he came to pure season a stone overweight?
He has shown that he couldn't be professional enough to control his weight let alone the ball!

If you think he's going to come out & say that's it were getting rid of rooney at the end of the season. Than you need to give your head a good shake.

As far as I can recall, Sir Alex never did sell them a virus, just a player who he had already acknowledged would go there sooner or later. he was just trying to get an acceptable price.

Beckham was different due to a major falling out, which clearly hasn't happened here as evident from Rooneys demeanor when they arrived for the Real game.

"Beating Heart beat" How old are you and we obviously were dead on tuesday because he was not playing until the 75 minute.

Ronaldo, beckham van nistilrooy all players in there prime when they left united all to madrid

Ye - we got beat and he missed a sitter

What effect?

How about the one where he fired everyone else up, and drove the team on. He does it all the time and that is why I called him the beating heart of the team.

Rooney epitomizes the determination, drive, passion and unyielding will to win which characterizes utd under SAF. It's what has enabled utd to win so many league titles even when our squad looks weaker than our rivals on paper. It was one of the things Keano brought to the team and so does Rooney. He leads by example and makes the team try harder.

Beckham wasn't in his prime, we moved him on as we had Ronaldo coming in to replace him. It was good business as his value would have declined with every year.

As for Ronaldo, he always wanted to play for REal Madrid so had no choice.

Then as good as Van Nistelrooy was, we weren't exactly at our most successful when he was at United

We got beat and fergy has said this in previous years stam keane Rudd v etc

. it's not nailed on, but has been discussed. David Gill has spent last 4 weeks in discussion with Levy over Bale. In last 24 hrs Levy has requested Rooney + £12m for Gareth Bale. The deal will be done. with utd contributing to Rooney wages for first 12 months,

In-cider

LOL mate.

Rubbish. Rooney would never agree to go there even if we wanted that deal to happen.

Oh. why don't u just drink cider and leave in out.
Rooney going nowhere.

Rodio17

If Rooney goes, it won't be to London.

Danny

It's not nailed on - it's made up. Rooney will be with us next season.

Blimey, I thought there were some deluded posters over on the Liverpool pages, but this takes the biscuit!

Bale wouldn't agree to go their!
