According to a report in the British tabloid The Daily Mirror, Manchester United are ready to enter the race to sign Valencia's David Villa this summer.
Apparently,
Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson has identified the 27-year-old as
his top target and is ready to rival any offer made by Barcelona.
Indeed, it is claimed that the English champions are preparing to lodge an offer in the region of €46.8 million (£40m) for the 5ft 9in striker.
However,
it seems that the 48-time capped Spain international may have already
dashed United’s hopes, ruling out a move to the Premier League on
Thursday.
Although Real Madrid have pulled themselves out of the
running to sign Villa, a move to the Santiago Bernabeu may still be his
preference.
Still, United may be willing to make an offer Los
Che cannot refuse, especially as they have €94m (£80m) to play with
during the close-season.
So many rumours on us buying striker, first Benzema, then Aguero and now Villa?!

I like to see Benzema, Robben, Ashley Young, Buffon joined Man Utd. With this lineup, even Barcelona or RM will have trouble matching Man Utd lineup. Buffon, Wes Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Robben, Young, Carrick, Anderson, Rooney and Benzema Sub: VDS, O Shea, Park, Nani, Berbatov
VDS is good enough we do not need Buffon, when VDS retires then it's time to find a new keeper, or maybe Foster can play as well.

So how's Fergie gonna fit Berba, Rooney and Villa?
Unless he decides to put Rooney on the left wing forever, one of them gonna become the next Tevez.

seriously, we all read how MU has put a policy on signing "old" player so the only realistic target is benezema.
however, I am quite skeptical cause Villa has said he wants to stay in Spain, Benezema wants La Liga, Aguero is Maradona's son in law or something who just advised tevez to sign for MCity. All 3 are big money, and worse, untested in EPL. A big big risk for MU this coming season.

villa is 27 and he is going to spend alot of money to buy him? why not buy benzema as he is 21 nia.
Ok la, what i meant was, would any of these big names mind being rotated constantly every week, sitting out of big games etc.
Maybe he should go for less established players.
I would recommend Marcus Berg of Sweden. Only 22, but already a pretty good scoring rate in the Eredivisie.

RM is in debt now, but they will recoup most of the money thru selling kaka and ronaldo's jerseys and image rights.I am sure plenty of RM fans are rushing to get their jerseys printed with their names behind. the spanish banks that lend them money, will not bankrupt RM one dun worry, unlike leeds. RM has the backing of the King of Spain and government.
