Sir Alex Ferguson may live to regret the comments he made last week regarding the impressive form of his younger defenders, with reports emerging today suggesting that Real Madrid are primed to move for Nemanja Vidic in the close season.

Park Ji-Sung has expressed his eagerness to secure a new contract with Premier League champions Manchester United.   After putting in another excellent display in the Red Devils 4-0 win over an MLS Allstars side captained by United legend David Beckham last night, Park was unapologetic in his enthusiasm too remain in Manchester.

Roberto Mancini has revealed his hopes to continue the big-spending tradition at his club by signing Sergio Aguero in the very near future.   Speaking after his charges were held to a rather underwhelming 1-1 draw with LA Galaxy at the weekend, the Italian was concise and confident about the prospects of landing the coup.

Patrice Evra has expressed his opinion on the Samir Nasri saga that has become a major feature of the Premier League summer.   Speaking very honestly to the Daily Telegraph, the Red Devils left-back revealed that he attempted to persuade his international team-mate to shun all other offers and make the move to Old Trafford.
