^Lloris in action for France^Sir Alex Ferguson has talked openly about the young French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and today it has been confirmed on the Man United website that they have sent an official bid to Lyon about the 24 year-old. The bid is rumoured to be in the region of 7-8 million euros and on a wage of 20,000 a week. The Man United manager has been very complementary of the Goalkeeper in recent weeks and is likely to complete the move after the FA Community Shield match against Blackburn.
Also, Pique is rumoured to be making a move back to Old Trafford after leaving 4 years ago. The young Spanish defender has moved clubs 2 times between Man United and Barcelona and this would make it the 3rd but a bid has not yet been confirmed but Barcelona are reported to want 5 million for him. This would be a good signing for United as they only have 3 Centre-Backs.
^Modric has been rumoured with a number on clubs^
There are also Players rumoured to be going out of Old Trafford. The big name being CzechRepublic star, Luka Modric. The Centre-Mid was bought for about 9 million but has struggled to get into the starting team and even the subs bench. He has only played about 9 times since joining 2 years ago. Also, scouted talents Ayin De Falco and Yi Sub Guastavino have been put on the transfer list since failing to impress in the chances they got and also the fact that they didn’t really fit into the Man United team.
Other rumours in the tabloids are that Spanish sensation David Villa could be on his way out of Manchester United. He has said that he wish he could get more playing time but he says that he is happy at Old Trafford and since he is still playing for Spain that there is no need to move. Also Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure has been linked with United but Sir Alex Ferguson has denied any truth in the rumour because he said that he was a midfield packed with talent and doesn’t need another one.
