United star Park on Transfer Target

Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung scored as South Korea beat fellow World Cup qualifiers Japan in a friendly international.

Both countries are facing difficult tasks in South Africa next month, having been placed in strong groups. Japan must play Cameroon, Denmark and Holland in Group E, while South Korea meet Argentina, Greece and Nigeria in Group B.

The Koreans can count on the undoubted quality of Reds midfielder Park Ji-sung and he opened the scoring in the sixth minute in Saitama, lashing the ball into the bottom left corner from the edge of the penalty area after a bustling run.

Monaco forward Park Chu-young came off the bench and won the penalty which he coolly fired into the bottom left corner for the clinching goal at the end of the second half.
Japan play England next, in Graz on Sunday, and on the same day South Korea take on Belarus in Kufstein.

Wayne Rooney's Ankle Still A Major Worry :Fabio Capello

Wayne Rooney

The England striker isn't a doubt for the World Cup but has been undergoing 'reinforcement' work to his damaged ligaments according to the News of the World.

While the majority of the squad took part in training on Friday, Rooney was allowed to rest alongside FA Cup finalists David James, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole who arrived late to the training camp in Austria.

The whole focus in the build-up to the World Cup so far has been whether Rooney will be fit, and Capello has conceded that it is difficult telling the Manchester United striker to rest.

Capello is quoted in the News of the World as saying: "I can leave some players out, but Rooney always wants to play. 

"If I tell him no, he says 'I want to play!', 'I want to train!' 'why you substitute me, I want to score!'. 

"It is good because he is an example to the other players, he is positive to be around."

Rooney injured his ankle ligaments against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final, and later aggravated the injury in the Manchester derby against City.

"Crisitiano is not happy because he has not conquered any titles this sesason," said the Special One who has made winning titles his forte, claiming the Treble with Inter this season.

As for winning titles with Los Blancos, Mourinho is intent upon making history. "I would like to be the first to win the 'Grand Slam' - that is the Premier League, Italian league and Spanish Liga titles."

Manchester United are planning to bid for Fabregas

Barcelona are preparing to make their first official approach to Arsenal to sign Cesc Fabregas today by faxing through an offer in the region of £30 million,Goal.com can reveal.

Manchester United are also near to bid for the Arsenal star Fabregas.

It would be a great prospect for him to move to Old Trafford.

Barcelona are convinced that Fabregas will join them this summer after he flew into London from his Spanish base last week to tell manager Arsene Wenger of his desire to leave the club and return to his boyhood team.

But The Red Devils are keen to sign the Quality player, and to keep him in at EPL.

Manchester New Boy will be seen on action in worldcup Friendly

Javier Hernandez could be on the same pitch asWayne Rooney this evening when Mexico take on England in a World Cup warm-up match.

United’s latest signing – better known as Chicharito – is in the Central Americans’ provisional squad for South Africa 2010 and may figure in the friendly at Wembley, as might his other potential new team-mates Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick.

Chicharito’s arrival at Old Trafford is yet to be rubber-stamped with a work permit, but if all goes to plan, he could be back at tonight’s venue when the Reds contest the Community Shield with Chelsea in August.

Mexico go into the England game in good form, having won three friendlies in a row this month – all 1-0 – against Senegal, Angola and Chile.

However, they face a tough task to qualify for the last 16 from the same World Cup group as Uruguay, France and hosts South Africa, whom they face in the tournament opener on Friday 11 June.

United fans in the UK can watch England vs Mexico live on ITV1 tonight from 19:30 BST.

Higuain and Di Maria soon to Old Trafford

Manchester United fans will be keeping a close eye on transfer developments at Old Trafford this summer. Despite manager Sir Alex Ferguson recently warning that the only player he would invest £60m in was Cristiano Ronaldo and that the transfer market was vastly inflated, it still looks like being a bumper summer at Old Trafford as Manchester United attempt to rebuild in order to make a fresh attempt on the league title and Champions League in season 2010-2011.

Certainly there have been plenty of rumours in recent days to whet the appetite for United fans. The first coming on Caughtoffside.com who suggested that Ferguson could be interested in Real Madrid's freescoring Argentinean international striker Gonzalo Higuain as the perfect partner for Wayne Rooney. The suggested fee of £25m seems a little cheap, especially considering the fine form Higuain has been in.

However another source has Manchester United targeting another Real Madrid striker for a similar price. The News of the World reported this weekend that Sir Alex Ferguson could try to tempt out of favour French striker Karim Benzema to Old Trafford from the Bernebeu for £20m+. This does have a degree of authenticity to the story as Benzema is a player whom Ferguson tried to sign last season before he was snapped up by Florentino Perez as part of his new Galactico era at Madrid. Despite the big money move, it hasn't worked out for Benzema at Real this season and the club may well be tempted to cut their losses and ship him to United during the summer.

The Guardian's excellent Rumour Mill has United linked with four names in recent articles. Today we can add the name of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo to the ever growing list of players that United have been linked with in articles in recent weeks. Also on the list are names such as Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra, Tottenham duo Luka Modric and Gareth Bale, not to mention Everton's Spanish star Mikel Arteta and the newly crowned PFA Young player of the Year, James Milner of Aston Villa.

So it looks like Sir Alex Ferguson is going to be very busy! Finally, the last name Man Utd have been linked with, for some time now, is arguably the most exciting. Soccernet are reporting that Benfica starlet Angel Di Maria is reportedly drawing close attention from United as well as rivalsChelsea and Manchester City. The talented left winger is sure to make the Argentinean squad for this summer's World Cup finals and despite a £40m price tag, it seems likely that cash strapped Benfica may try to cash in on the winger this summer.

Whatever the truth, it looks like being a busy period over the summer for Manchester United.Who do you think Sir Alex will target for next season?us

Manchester United wants a deadly striker

 Manchester United have been alerted to the news that Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano has claimed he will be sold this summer. The Brazilian forward says his sale is likely as his contract runs out next year and he has no intention of renewing, so Sevilla will be forced to cash-in now or loose him for nothing in a years time.

The prolific hitman has been linked with both Chelsea and Manchester United recently, and was quoted as saying being linked to United was an honour and he would be keen on a move to Old Trafford. However, Fabiano has also been linked with moves to Manchester City and Spurs as well as Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan on the continent, so he would have no shortage of offers should Sevilla decide to sell. When asked about his future, Fabiano said:

"My departure is very likely, my contract will expire next year and I'm not going to renew."

"I think that Sevilla will try to sell me this summer,"

Fabiano has scored 62 goals in 128 league games for Sevilla, while his international record is even more impressive with 25 goals in just 36 games for Brazil and is expected to be a star performer in this summers World Cup. With only a year remaining on his current contract, bothCarlo Ancelotti and Sir Alex Ferguson may feel he represents good value for money as he would be available for around £15m, a relatively low fee compared to his true market value.

Arsenal want to jump into every big move Manchester United wants

By Fab4.

Here are some of the latest transfer rumours doing the rounds of late. Some are familiar names to Arsenal fans, with the likes of Melo and Gomis being linked once again. While Gunners fans will be excited to here Gourcuff and Silva being named as possible replacements should captain Cesc Fabregas leave for Barcelona. Arsenal have also been linked with yet another goalkeeper and a couple of centre-backs.

Per Mertesacker

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Werder Bremen’s giant centre-back Per Mertesacker, according to The Sunday Times. Arsene Wenger has been linked with the German international in the past and the report claims Mertesacker is looking for a move away from the Bundesliga and the Arsenal boss is ready to make.

The Gunners are on the look-out for a defensive partner for Thomas Vermaelen after it seems certain that William Gallas will leave the club after failing to agree a contract extension, and with 60 caps for Germany and standing at 6ft 6in, Mertesacker is tipped to be the experienced dominant centre-back the club are looking for. I would love this rumour to be true, he is exactly the type of player Arsene should be looking at.

Felipe Melo

Once again Arsenal have been linked with a move for long-term target Felipe Melo. The Brazilian international was close to a move to the Gunners last summer but opted for Juventus, but his time in Turin has been a disappointment and has been tipped by the Times to make the move the Emirates this summer as Arsene Wenger looks to add some steel to his midfield engine-room. Despite his poor season for Juve, Melo has a lot talent and would be a great signing for Arsenal. Although i think his price tag of £17-£20m is slightly over-inflated given what the player has actually achieved so far.

David Silva

The Mirror claims that Wenger has been keeping a close eye on Valencia’s skillful play-maker David Silva. With Cesc Fabregas linked with a move to Barca, Wenger may look to Silva as a replacement and despite interest from Real Madrid and Manchester United, the report says it’s Arsenal who could land the talented 24-year-old for £17m. Although i would love to see Silva arrive at the Emirates, i can’t see this one happening. He has been linked with Real for that last couple of years and if he leaves Valencia i think he will become a Madrid man, Arsene wouldn’t compete with them on price and wages.

Yoann Gourcuff

Gourcuff has been widely tipped to be Cesc Fabregas’s replacement should our captain make the move to Barca this summer. The Bordeaux ace is valued at around £25m and Wenger sees him as the ideal candidate to take over the create role currently filled by Fabregas. The 23-year-old has been capped 17 times by France so far and has been in tremendous form over the past two seasons since moving to Bordeaux from AC Milan, and was a key figure as he won the Ligue 1 in his first year back in France and was also named the league’s best player. However this season has not been as successful as Bordeaux only managed a sixth place finish and failed to qualify for any European football next season. If Fab’s does go, get this man Arsene. Pure class.

Bafetimbi Gomis

Lyon forward Gomis was linked with the Gunners last summer and his name has once again been thrown in the hat as a potential summer buy. Gomis scored 10 goals in 37 appearances this season and signed for Lyon for £11m only a year ago from Saint-Etienne. After the signing of Marouane Chamakh was tied up last week, it’s very difficult to imagine Arsene Wenger buying another striker so i see no substance in this one.

Other rumours include a move for Newcastle centre-back Steven Taylor who is out of contract next summer and Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer. I could see the sense in going for Taylor who is a good age and wouldn’t break the bank, but i can’t see Wenger going for a 37-year-old goalkeeper and Fulham would be very reluctant sellers.

So they are the latest transfer rumours and I’m sure that as the summer goes on a whole host of other names will be linked with a move to the Emirates.
