News Update

Some up to date news on the Red Devils:

United have had a bid rejected for 19-year old Chilean born rising star Alexis Sanchez. I don't know much about him besides what I read in the article on SkySports.com. It seems United will try again with a higher bid to bring in the youngster who is seen, as a "long-term" replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. It would be nice to keep Ronaldo for another two years and see what this kid can do then. Hopefully the transfer will work out and United can add another young star to their already growing list.

It seems Roque Santa Cruz can be taken off our transfer list as he is staying concentrated on next season with Blackburn. Obviously this could change but it does seem strange that Blackburn would let their best striker leave especially to a team so close to home. United seem more interested in Berbatov, so this comes as more of a blow to Tottenham who saw Cruz as a replacement for Berbatov who seems to be destined to Old Trafford.

Two coaches have said they are not interested in becoming Manchester United's #2. Gus Poyet, the assistant coach at Tottenham, seems intent on staying put and has a decent job at Tottenham. Tottenham are going to be a quality team, and could really push in the UEFA cup, as well as the FA and League Cup. The EPL seems to much for the club to reach but I think a top 4 finish might not be to far off if things continue to go well in the transfer market. Paulo Bento, the up and coming youn coach for Sporting Club in Portugal has said he has no intention of leaving the Portuguese giants. Seemed a strange choice for Fergie. I hope Fergie ultimately promotes someone from within. United have quality, respected coaches on the staff and would be better to stay with coaches who understand the greatness of Manchester United.

In the Ronaldo news you can add Fabio Cannavaro, Italy's captain and Madrid defender, to the list of ones who think Ronaldo should see out his contract. Seems strange a player from within would speak out against the club in anyway but good to hear some reason coming from the club, even if it is one player. I hope we learn something new this week about the Ronaldo saga that brings is closer to its end.
