Cantona Hails Reds Legend Best
Eric Cantona has paid tribute to the late George Best who passed away last Friday.The Frenchman contacted ManUtd.com in order to express his personal thoughts on the United legend.Cantona said: "After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from his favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left-back."I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God."
Fergie Sets Sights On Transfer Targets
Sir Alex Ferguson has a big-name signing in mind for next summer, and also hopes to add to his squad in the January transfer window.
The Scot has spoken openly of late about the need to bolster his ranks, particularly in midfield, and is eyeing at least one new face for the New Year.
Fergie told the Observer: "We will probably just add a couple of players to bulk up the numbers in January. The one we really want to sign will only be available in the summer."
Although he wouldn't name names, Ferguson did reveal that his target has been in Champions League action this season.
"He's cup-tied in the Champions League and his club wouldn't sell him before summer in any case," he revealed.
"But I'm confident the club will back me in the summer. Manchester United always have to buy the player they need."
Roo: I Want To Be The New Best
Wayne Rooney yesterday told how he wanted to be remembered like George Best after inspiring Manchester United to a fitting tribute to their greatest player. "I was inspired by him and it's a sad loss for everyone," said Rooney. "George was one of the best players in the world, if not the best. I'm sure I've a long way to go before I get to those heights, but hopefully one day people will talk about me like that."
Real So Keane
Roy Keane. has been added to Real Madrid’s hitlist of potential signings. Real are on the rocks after arch-rivals Barcelona inflicted a fifth La Liga defeat of the campaign on underfire boss Vanderlei Luxemburgo. And, if an immediate turnaround in results is not forthcoming, Real chiefs are considering offering midfielder Keane a short-term deal until the end of the season to shake up the squad.
