Berbatov's Agent Confirms Manchester United Interests

Dimitar Berbatov's agent, Emil Danchev, confirms Manchester United's interest in signing his client. It is said that Manchester United offer Berba a sum of 20 million pounds to have him play in Old Trafford next season, with a weekly wage that is said to be around 80,000 pounds per week.

"I know for certain Manchester United have shown interest in signing Dimitar Berbatov, but I'm not entitled to make any more comments.", Danchev said to Darik, a Bulgarian local radio.

In 2006 Berba turned down United's offer and instead he joined Tottenham Hotspurs from Bayer Leverkusen. Last season United tried to sign Berba again, but again Berba decided to stay with the Spurs and won the League Cup with them, Spurs first trophy since the 1998/1999 season.

Manchester United Won Friendly Against Aberdeen

At the Pittodrie Stadium, Manchester United won their first pre-season friendly against Aberdeen. The friendly was to commemorate Aberdeen's success 25 years ago, when they won the Cup Winners Cup under the management of one Sir Alex Ferguson.

As a sign of respect, Fergie featured his first team selection such as Gary Neville, Nemanja Vidic, Wes Brown, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Carrick dan Rooney. Right before half time Manchester United were awarded a penalty. Carrick, who took the penalty scored United's first goal, 1-0.

At the 70th minute, Rooney headed for goal as Fletcher delivered a perfect timed cross, 2-0 for Manchester United until the final whistle blows.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar : "I Want to Play for Manchester United"

Ever since the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid a couple of seasons ago, Manchester United haven't been able to find a one-touch lethal striker like the legendary dutch-man.

Over the last couple of seasons, Manchester United, along with several other English clubs, have been linked with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. A young Dutch goalscorer whose playing style resembles RvN a lot.

But the rumors never came true for Manchester United until now. It was all because the young Dutch own statement that he wishes to gain more experience in the Dutch League before making it to the top English Premier League.

But now, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar says that he is ready. So far he and Ajax don't meet eye to eye regarding his contracts. And he says, that if he is to leave Ajax, then Manchester United will be the club he will be willing to play for.

"Manchester United is a club that makes me dream, especially Ruud van Nistelrooy has played there and did many great things with them.", Huntelaar said.

Huntelaar might just do that to gain a better contract from Ajax. With his goal scoring record, Ajax will do anything in their power to keep their best striker in the Amsterdam Arena, at least for one more season.

Other than Manchester United, Huntelaar is also linked with Real Madrid and Arsenal. The rumor that Arsenal are actually interested in Huntelaar is somewhat surprising judging by the fact Huntelaar is not an "Arsene Wenger Type" of player. He is lacking at technical skills but he has eyes for goals for sure.
