  Real Madrid have launched another audacious raid on Manchester United - by poaching highly regarded fitness coach Valter di Salvo. The Spanish champions are on the verge of taking Di Salvo to the Bernabeu after approaching him without permission on Tuesday night.
  
  The Italian has told United he wishes to return to Spain, where he worked with United assistant Carlos Queiroz, and in all likelihood will leave once a compensation package has been agreed.
  
  
  
  Sir Alex Ferguson has told striker Alan Smith the news he did not want - that he has no future at United. Smith has been offered moves to Middlesbrough and Everton but had been holding out for signs that he might still have a role with the champions.

  apparently, they got some kinda of "protection"..
  
  can openly pick players during their presidental race.. but if you do that in UK, it is called "tapping"..

  Even Chelsea reported them to Fifa about their tapping up of Robben and nothing happen... And to add insult to injury, now it seem Robben could join them...
