When Manchester United does something, they do it big, and this year’s transfer season is no exception. They made headlines before the final game of the season with rumours that several big names, mainly Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez weren’t content at Old Trafford. Tevez’ situation has yet to be resolved, although he has ruled out a move to Liverpool, and Manchester City seems to be the likeliest candidate. Ronaldo’s record-breaking transfer to Real Madrid was splashed across headlines for days, drawing both awe and disgust from pundits and critics. The 80 million pound transfer is the richest in history, and takes away a key, albeit controversial player from Old Trafford.
Now that the two strikers are out gone, or nearly gone, United has been focused on finding a striker for Rooney to work with. United had its eye on Samuel Eto’o but he appears headed to Manchester City as well.
It’s name has also been in the mix for England and Portsmouth defender Glen Johnson and Wigan’s Antonio Valencia.
They’re also competing for Bayern Munich’s Frank Ribery and Karim Benzima of Lyon.
