As we like to do, we sign young players with potential. We can also develop players well here. That’s proved to be the case many times. Hopefully the boy will enjoy it coming here when he eventually does join us in the summer.
Meanwhile, Zaha told Palace's official website - "I am delighted to be joining Manchester United and ending the recent speculation."
I have followed the Bundesliga and naturally know about Stuttgart. I am glad that I can now play for the club.
For me, it is about getting to know the team and what I can bring because we have a lot of interesting games in three different competitions in front of us.
Barcelona striker Samuel Eto has been linked with a move to Manchester United. The News of World reported that he is considering a move to England and is ready to accept a lower pay.
The Barcelona striker who was thought to be discussing terms with Manchester City, and a move to Eastlands has suddenly turned towards the red part of Manchester. And the biggest surprise is that the Cameroon international is now willing to take a substantial pay cut in order to continue playing his football at the very highest level.
Eto believes playing only for the best teams, be it in Spain, England or anywhere. And therefore he is avoiding a move to a mid-table side in the Premier League and opting for United as he is confident that he will win more silverware at The Theater of Dreams. The fact that a world class player like Eto is ready to play on lower wages only to ensure that he plays football at the highest level must be taken as a positive factor by Sir Alex.
It is thought that United are set to offer Eto'o a deal worth some £150,000-a-week. And I hope Eto signs on the dotted lines ASAP. His addition will not only strengthen the squad but will also add some pressure on the otherwise lazy Berbatov, and may be he might play better football this season due to the risk of losing his first team place.
Mikael Silvestre has left Manchester United and joined rivals Arsenal. He had joined United in 1999 from Inter. Since the last couple of seasons, he has been warming the bench because of the rise in form of Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic.
Local rivals - Man City were also hunting for the frenchman apart from Aston Villa, Celtic and Sunderland. But Silvestre decided to join Arsenal as he wants to win more trophies with the Gunners. He said - "I left United especially because I did not want to spend any more time on the bench after nine years."
Rio Ferdinand has signed a new contract at Manchester United which will keep him at Old Trafford until 2013. The central defender who arrived at The Theatre Of Dreams in 2002 has put the pen on the deal and shown his long term commitment towards the club.
Days after Chelsea stole United's targeted right back Jose Bosingwa for £16.2m, Rio's decision to stay at Old Trafford has made the fans happy. Sir Alex has openly appreciated Ferdinand's contribution at the back this season along with Vidic. Its because of such commited and determined players that Man Utd has retained their title and are challenging for european glory.
