Chile Starlet Alexis Sanchez Has Heart Set On Dream Manchester United Move - Report

Chile and Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez has reportedly told his team-mates he has his heart set on a dream move to Manchester United this summer.

According to the News of the World, Sanchez has impressed Red Devil's coach Sir Alex Ferguson with his form for Chile at World Cup 2010 and has enhanced his already growing reputation as one of the most exciting wingers plying his trade in Europe.

His performances, which have seen the South American's set up a last 16 tie with Brazil, have served to reignite Ferguson's interest as he looks to find a replacement who is in the same mould as Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sources close to the player claim he has dreamt about a move to Old Trafford since he was a boy and a move to the Premier League could soon be on the cards according to his team mates.

"All Alexis wants is to play for Manchester United," revealed a Chile team-mate, who did not want to be named. "He'd give anything for that."

Udinese have insisted they do not want to sell their star man, who has also attracted interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid.

However, with a move from his dream club forthcoming, it may prove difficult to keep hold of the promising 21-year-old.

Germany star Mesut Ozil has revealed he would be keen on a move to either Manchester United or Chelsea this summer. With only one year remaining on his Werder Bremen contract, he could be snapped up for a bargain price of £15m and the play-maker has made it clear he would be open to a switch to the premier league, but will concentrate on the World Cup before deciding on his future.

“The World Cup is all that matters at the moment,” he told the Sun. “When I get back we can think about my future, but for now it’s not something I want to give a lot of thought to. To the top players, the Premier League is attractive.

“You look at what Manchester United and Chelsea have achieved over the last five years and you see it would be easy to be successful at two clubs like that. I see what Michael Ballack achieved at Chelsea and the quality of players he played with and the temptation becomes obvious.

“Trophies are what matters to me. There are two teams in England always at the top and of course that’s attractive, but the same is true for La Liga. They’re the strongest leagues in the world.”

Ozil has been one of the stand-out players at the World Cup so far and has been linked with a move to several of Europe’s elite, including Premier League trio Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United. But it seems Ozil’s comments have ruled out a move to the Emirates leaving Chelsea and United to do battle for his signature.

Its a damn shame. All these ballers wanna join United and we're broke. And even if we had the money City would double any bid we make and give them 200k a week.

United have confirmed the signing of Belgian teenager Marnick Vermijl from Standard Liege and the award of professional contracts to goalkeeper Conor Devlin and striker John Cofie.

We brought news of Vermijl’s signing back in March and the club have now officially confirmed the arrival of the 18 year-old defender. No further details have been given, but assuming the information back in March was correct, Vermijl joins on a three-year deal worth €100,000 a year, with United paying Standard €220,000. Versatile enough to play anywhere across the back-line, the teenager is highly-rated in his homeland and his progress this season – most likely as part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reserve squad – will be extremely interesting to monitor.

Devlin being handed a professional contract is no surprise, the Northern Irishman having impressed over his two-year scholarship. After 36 appearances for the academy, the 18 year-old keeper will move up to reserve level this season and will expect to substantially build on his two appearances under Solskjaer so far, with the number one jersey for the second string very much his to lose. Cofie turning pro is a little more unexpected, the Ghana-born forward being only a year into his scholarship and having had an up-and-down first full season in the U18s, but with the majority of his fellow new second years having signed pro forms already, his new deal is further evidence of just how highly-rated this particular crop is.

[Necksta]

Man U are the new Arsenal... for signings.

[The King]

pmsl. What a joke.

[Black Ant]

i'm just fed up

FED UP

[Kompressor]

the Hernandez news is equally as unsettling as it is funny.

The Sanchez link is a nice one, but we dont need another right sided player, when we have only park and Giggs for the left.

The greek kid has been linked with us for a while now, cant see it happening due to the Tosic saga, as already mentioned by someone else in here.

Anderson leaving would be f*ck*ng lunacy.

Cofie signing pro forms is Mehh.

Hopefully the rumours bout Hernandez going on loan mean a Benz will be heading its way to OT, wont hold my breath though.

Though this was the Arsenal transfer thread

Though this was the Arsenal transfer thread

give it 5 years and it will be like some real life trading places sh*t.

[Gambino]

Damn Ozil wants to come to United? Jeez times are hard when we can't afford him.

[Guest M12 Part 2]

Lol Fergie is on some hustle. buy a young player for 5. dont give him a chance. sell him for 7. Give the profit to Glazers and repeat

Damn Ozil wants to come to United? Jeez times are hard when we can't afford him.

Worst thing is he only has a year left on his contract

[Gambino]

SMH - What can we do..... Time to just sit back and watch the same United team win the Prem again, S'nuffin.

Lol. No the worst thing is, we are probably just one or two players off having a great team, and he wouldnt really of cost overly crazy money if we had a scouting system that was much cop and we went for him before the world cup. But now off course theres no value, shouts towards fergie (its a f*ck*ng world cup year, this is what happens, you shouldve signed someone in jan or at the start of last season you idiot)

Rooney picks up a mid to long term injury next season we are f*cked.

[Kompressor]

Put to work on the roadside by his olders, pathetic, and he still wants to come out every two minutes and tell us he has millions and millions to spend, man needs to keep quiet, he's been sullying his legend status for years now, these are the nails about to go in the coffin,

He should just keep quiet and leave thelying to Gill, coz thats the one decent thing about the Glazers. They've NEVER told any of us a lie, its all come from Gill or SAF,

The Glazers told us from the start they were here for the money and planned to fleece us.

Getting pissed now is just stupid, viva green and yellow.

Inter president Massimo Moratti confirms Manchester United interest in Wesley Sneijder

Red Devils hover with intent, it appears...

By Zack Wilson

7 Jul 2010 12:30:00

Inter president Massimo Moratti has revealed that Manchester United are interested in taking Netherlands World Cup star Wesley Sneijder to Old Trafford.

A report from Dutcch newspaper De Telegraaf had claimed that the Serie A outfit were ready to offer the midfielder a new contract, extending his current deal, which runs until 2013, by two years.

However, it would seem that United may have other plans for the playmaker, although Moratti insisted that he had not been 'tempted' by the English club's offer just yet.

"The interest from Manchester United in Sneijder is real, but I didn't look into it in an attempt not to fall into temptation," Moratti told Sky Sport Italia, adding: "Offers for [Mario] Balotelli and Maicon have been too low."

On the question of Balotelli, Moratti also confirmed that the player had not requested to leave the club, despite the rumours claiming that both United and neighbours Manchester City were prepared to tussle for the controversial forward.

"It seems like an advertising campaign to me. In any case Balotelli has not come to me to ask to be sold," he added.

"I don't understand why a problem has to be created."

load of madness, but also because we didnt have a penny to spend last season, the bond issuesd in January has freed up abit of cash,
