Who does Man U buy???

Well i personally have focused a lot on the Spanish La liga. Now my cousin who is a big Man U fan had "who do we buy" as his messenger status and as much as a Man U fan he is i think he has a point.

As usual Man U have not been linked with any big names this season. But one thing i have seen with Sir Alex and Man U is that they do not go too public with their wish list.

With Arsenal losing players and by players i mean Henry and Chelsea already signing Steve Sidwell, Ben Haim and Claudio Pizzaro, the only club left in the big 4 who is not active is Liverpool. Well they are it seems planning to raid Athletico Madrid for their star Fernando Torres.

Man U had a dream season last year with excellent attacking options and a good midfield combined with a decent defense. Man U have never been playing in the style that suits a central striker and one successful exception to that probably is Van Nistelrooy. But if you look at the striking options they have maybe they need to add and remove a few. Solksjaer is over his prime though he came back from years of injury to have a decent season. Saha is always injured and is hardly seen on the ground and we are left with Rooney. If Christiano Ronaldo had to chip in with more than 20 goals good as it looks, they definitely need a genuine striker.

They were stories of Heinze claiming that he has 2-3 offers including one from the Spanish Champions. With Roberto Carlos leaving Heinze who can play bothe LB and CB might be a good option for Madrid. With Patrice Evra and Silvestre i don't think Man U will have a problem for cover.

Ryan Giggs one of the majors on the Man U army definitely needs an understudy. The season he leaves or get injured Man U and left with no attacking left sided midfielder. The new bunch of mid field players including Fletchor and Carrick more central in style and Richardson and park Ji Sung more right sided it may be a possible target for Sir Alex.

Alan Smith needs to get out of United and find a place where he can play in his natural position. Its got to a point where United tried playing him in a Central midfield role and when he was brought back into play along with Rooney in a striking option, he struggled.

Man U have been silent in big money signings especially since a take over happened, but this might be their season......
