Sir Alex to sign Sebastian Frey

According to Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastian Frey’s agent Giovanni Branchini Manchester United is willing to sign Seba in near future. Giovanni Branchini said that Frey is on United’s wish list, but Fiorentina is not in a mood of selling him till May.

It seems that Sir Alex Ferguson has started to think about signing an option for Edwin Van Der Sar. The 39 year Dutch goal keeper returned to training on Tuesday and joined the team on four day winter camp.

Sebastian Frey is currently playing for Fiorentina and his performance has helped his club to get into next stage of Champions League. Previously Frey has played for Parma and Inter.

In spite of his good reputation as a goalkeeper, Frey has only been capped twice by France and decided to retire from international football in 2008.

Seeing the current situation Sir Alex Ferguson must sign a goal keeper because Van Der Sar may retire after this season and Tomasz Kuszczak cant be considered as a long-term option. The speculations are high on this transfer but not in this window because Fiorentina don't want to discuss the issue until May.

It will be a good move for 29 years old Frey because it is great to play for Manchester United for any player from any part of world.

Van Der Sar return to training at United

Edwin Van Der Sar has rejoined United for the first time after his wife's illness just before christmas. Van Der Sar's wife Annemarie van Kesteren suffered brain hemorrhage on 23rd December.

39 years old Dutch Van Der Sar went to see his wife in December end. According to reports latest medical tests have shown that his wife she has suffered no permanent damage and Van der Sar has flown to Qatar to be with the rest of his team-mates at their four-day winter training camp. Last time when Van Der Sar played for United was in November against Everton. United won that game 3-0.

Now when Van Der Sar is available Sir Alex may want him to play in the home game against Burnley. This game is very important because United have lost their away tie at Burnley.

Manchester United Transfers Rumours

It is very uncharacteristic for Sir Alex Ferguson to do big business in January transfer window. This time it seems that there may be some exceptions in terms of signing. We have already heard speculations about Karim Benzema, Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. But, seeing the financial position of the club it would be very difficult to sign any of these without selling any player from current squad.

Sir Alex may sign Serbian defender Uros Cosic who is regarded as new Nemanja Vidic. Uros Cosic is currently playing for CSKA Moscow. Another one who could come to Old Trafford is Cardiff teenager Adam Matthews. Arsenal Boss Arsene Wenger is also eyeing him. Cardiff has already lost some good talents to senior league clubs. Although team boss Peter Ridsdale has said that the club want Adam to stay with Cardiff and that's what they are hoping will happen.

Giorgio Chiellini, who is currently playing for Juventus is another probable name who can come to join United. Rivals Manchester City is also in the race for signing Chiellini.

Ferguson could also try to sign French international goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. In fact this transfer is much required to make a replacement for Edwin Van der Sar.

Players who may leave United are Nani and Macheda. Nani is almost set to leave the club whereas Macheda could go to Real Zaragoza on loan.

Nani could be used as part of an exchange deal for Benfica winger Angel di Maria. The 21-year-old Argentine is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in Europe.

Edwin Van Der Sar to stay out of action indefinitely

Team’s first choice Edwin Van Der Sar will remain out of action for indefinite time as his wife has suffered brain hemorrhage. The 39-year-old Dutch goalkeeper, who has been missing from a long time, had been given permission to return to his home in Holland.

Sir Alex Ferguson told that there is no point in him being here. It will be the best thing for him to go and see his wife. Van Der Sar’s wife Annemarie van Kesteren, who is 36 years old collapsed last Wednesday when the family was planning to celebrate Christmas.

In this time Van Der Sar will receive treatment from the Holland team doctor. We hope for the quick recovery of his wife.
