Manchester United Transfer Talk

It has now been confirmed by none other than Sir Alex that the young duo of Phil Bardsley and Jonny Evans will be joining Sunderland on short-term loan after he was approached by former Red Roy Keane. Bardsley had earlier been loaned out to Rangers and came back with some good performances to his name and a stint now at Championship outfit should provide a sterner albeit a different test.

In other transfer-related news, Fergie has now officially denied rumours stating that the Glazers had put some some sort of a ‘cap’ on transfer spending at the club. The amount was believed to be in the region of 25 million quid. Must say, I would’ve been gutted to say the least if that one was true and now that Fergie has called it nonsense, fans all-around have breathed a huge sigh of relief.

United have been linked with Bayern midfielder Owen Hargreaves and Southampton full-back Bale in particular lately and it remains to be seen whether either or both of them will move to us in the coming days. Have to say, the move for Hargreaves looks very unlikely now that Bayern chairman himself has stated that he will not sell the englishman under any circumstances.

There is another interesting story doing the rounds today in the tabloids about the alleged spiralling of United’s overall debt in the coming years. An independent supporters’ group, who go by the name of MUST, have claimed that the Glazers have increased the Reds’ debt in the long-term which is unhealthy to say the least. If it indeed is true, it presents some worrying signs but one thing is for sure … the issue will get a lot more media attention.
