Manchester United on alert as
Inter look to sell Sneijder in transfer window
27th December 2011
Manchester United could resurrect
their interest in Wesley Sneijder as Inter Milan plan to sell their midfielder to
raise funds for rebuilding. Sneijder came close to moving to Old Trafford in
the summer, but Fergie was warned off by the size of the figures involved in
the deal.
However, United boss Sir Alex
Ferguson could be forced to dip into the transfer market this January after the
club suffered injuries to a number of key players. Darren Fletcher is taking an
extended break from the game with ulcerative colitis, Nemanja Vidic has been
ruled out for the season, Anderson is battling a long-term knee problem and Tom
Cleverly is also sidelined.

Ferguson Hints At Midfield Deal
27 December 2011
Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted that
Ryan Giggs may be given another extension on his contract, after the midfielder
scored for the 20th consecutive Premier League season in a row before the
Christmas break.
Giggs has made over 600
appearances for the Red Devils since moving from the club's youth academy to
the senior squad in 1990, and is one of the few one-club men to have been with
the side almost as long as Sir Alex Ferguson himself.
Man United swoop for Sweden
international
27 December 2011
Manchester United will officially
complete the signing of AZ Alkmaar ace Rasmus Elm in June. Reports from Italian
newspaper Calcio Mercato have suggested the champions have agreed a deal to
sign Elm and the move will become official in the summer, subject to a medical.
United have tracked Elm for over
a year and have been impressed with the midfielder playing in the Eredivisie. Elm,
the younger brother of David - who once played for Fulham - is a Sweden
international and the deal is rumoured to be worth around £5m. The
23-year-old's current contract expires in 2013 and AZ have agreed to sell him
because he has shown a reluctance to pen a new deal amid United's interest.
