Manchester United To Make Shock Move For Torres

Manchester United To Make Shock Move For Liverpool Star Fernando Torres – Report
A British tabloid claims that the English champions are willing to splash out £40 million on their arch-rivals' star man.

Manchester United are reportedly set to use the £80 million they will receive for Cristiano Ronaldo to make a bid for Liverpool’s Fernando Torres.

The Sunday Express claims that the Red Devils will attempt to make an audacious swoop for the Spanish striker as they seek to replace the Real Madrid-bound Ronaldo.

Whilst Liverpool would be loath to see Torres leave, and particularly to bitter rivals United, the report claims that Sir Alex Ferguson is prepared to offer £40 million, a figure he believes can tempt the Merseysiders.

A bid of such size would double the amount Liverpool paid for the striker, when they signed him from Atletico Madrid in 2007.

With striker Carlos Tevez also expected to follow Ronaldo out of the Old Trafford exit, attacking options appear to be top of United’s shopping list this summer.

The Premier League champions have already been linked with a host of names including Karim Benzema, Samuel Eto’o, Franck Ribery, Antonio Valencia and David Silva.

Yet they undoubtedly face a tough challenge in replacing Ronaldo who, once again, finished the season as the club’s top scorer.

Of course, Torres could certainly provide the club with goals; the Spaniard managed 14 league goals in an injury-ravaged campaign last term and 24 in the Premier League in his first season at the club.

Liverpool need to fight to keep Torres, they would be even further behind Man U without him. Surely Rafa wouldn't allow the sale.

[Derek]

Wont happen. Liverpool would never allow Torres to go to rivals such as Man U.

I certainly would not like to see Torres go for any money... the concept of using players as investments is obscene but I see why clubs think that way...

torres for man united ole....

[Chelsea4thewin]

might be hard to keep torres if man u offer in excess of 40million pounds

[Wraith]

On one hand, with Liverpool's current debt levels, you would think they would have to sell him if an offer for that amount came in for Torres, in effect, Liverpool wpould've made a profit of 20 million pounds from his transfer.

However, Liverpool would also be a huge blow for Liverpool's Premiership challenge by giving your direct opposition your best (in my opinion) player, which would see Man U gain a distinct upper hand.

Will be interesting this one.

[Chelsea4thewin]

dont forget chelsea please

but yeah ronaldo out and torres in wouldnt be so bad for man united

fit rooney and torres would be dangerouss

[LeBron]

Never ever going to happen!!!!

Even with our huge debts!!!

[Litmanen]

Pfft what a fkn Joke.... Surely Liverpool aren't that stupid.

The only surprise here is that Real or Chelsea haven't put a bid in too.

someones taking the piss

[Outlaw 2.0]

Im going to assume that the fact that Torres and Gerrard (who's transfer status was already NOT FOR SALE) and Alonso and Masca's new status of "NOT FOR SALE" have some sort of meaning.

I like to think of it as a shop selling their Cash Register

[Pato 7]

Manchester should try and sign him as imo Liverpool are a completely different side without torres, so too are Manchester now without Ronaldo.
This is the one reason Manchester should sign Torres to

knock liverpool of their pearch

and to gain a world class footballer like torres to try and fill the massive gap that Ronaldo has left in this team...

Torres, Ribery, Benzema!

SIGN one of these 3 up!!

[El Phenomeno]

He will never go to Man Utd...Neither is Benitez going to allow it...lets be real

If you think United are in with a chance you are kidding yourself. No way in hell Torres would want to leave the club he loves.
