The season is over, and what a season it has been. The two horse race saw many hurdles on the way and though the blue horse won it's not all blue in Manchester. United still exist and this season has shown that reinforcements are needed for the age-ing legs of Ferdinand, Giggs and ol' Scholsey. Sir Alex has always turned to youth but this column struggles to see how sucessful that would be in the next few years. Out of the three reserve players tipped too be glorious Reds, Pogba has left to Turin, Morrison sent to London, leaving Fryers who has 1 league and 1 Champions league appearance to his name. The Keane brothers (Michael and Will) and Jeese Lindergaard look delightful but are a few years in the coming. So Fergie must dive into the transfer market and dive deep, as the Glazers will not put up with wasting another 10M on a player like Bebe.
This column takes a look at all players that have been associated with the Reds in the last month and what they will or will not give to the club.

The young Japaneese has turned many heads in his three season in the Bundesliga and could be the missing link in United's Midfield. He isn't the next Paul Scholes but he could add a boost of stability and speed of the rather tired legs we have seen in this season's United midfield Kicker reports that Shinji Kagawa flew to Manchester with his adviser Thomas Kroth on Monday night. United are rated favourites to land the midfielder after sports director Michael Zorc admitted Borussia Dortmund's bid to keep the Japan international has failed. "Shinji told us that he will definitely not renew his contract with us," Zorc informed Bild.
Name: ROBERT LOWANDOWSKI
Age: 23
Team: Borussia Dortmund
Position: Striker

The Polish striker has like his teammate mentioned above captured managers' sights, especially after scoring a Hat-Trick in a 5-2 win againt Bayern Munchen in the German Cup Final, which incedentally Sir Alex happened to be watching. A striker in the form of Dimitar Berbatov is leaving Old Trafford, somebody needs to step in and the Polish is wonderful for that spot. Obviously he isn't as creative as the Berba but he is quite something. "Dortmund's offer is not good enough," said Lewandowski's agent Maik Barthel. "I can confirm that United are interested."
Name: MATS HUMMELS
Age : 23
Team : Borussia Dortmund
Position: Central Defender
Source : VArious
Uniited's defence this year has been shaky this season. Rio's acceleration is a=not what it was and the Smalling and Evns lack of experience showed. Thus what better to have a German internstional to take clog a few holes. He's been impressive this season and is the last of the Dortmund trio to be associated with Dortmund. It's also reported that Hummels' father was invited to Manchester recently but Dortmund will only entertain the thought of Kagawa, who has a year left on his contract, leaving.
Name: LEIGHTON BAINES
Age : 27
Team : Everton
Position: Left Back

Another hole in United's defence apperared at the left back position with Patrice Evra struggling against wingers for majority of the campaign. Stats will tell you otherwise and will tell you he has been the best defender this season, but stats are not all reality. The Frenhman has still looked dangerous on the attack but defending he has lost out many times, most significantly in the 2-1 loss to Liverpool in the F.A Cup. An English international could easily clog that hle, but it depends wheteher the Tofees manager David Moyes will sell.
Name: Eden Hazard
Age :21
Team :Lille
Position: Attacking Midfielder

The man with contradicting names has a choice to make, Red or Blue. However one thing's certain, it's going to be Manchester. The Belgium international has been the number 1 target in Mancini's books and United's name doesn't come up as often as City's, but United have interest and if the younster goes to the other side, it could be dangerous for the Reds. On 28 April, for the third consecutive season, Hazard was nominated for the UNFP Player of the Year award. Two weeks later, he was awarded the prestigious honour ahead of the likes of Olivier Giroud and Younès Belhanda. He was also in the team of the year for the third time.
Name: Nicolas Gaitan
Age : 24
Team :Benfica
Position : Attacking Midfielder
Source: Various
Probably the most probable of all transfers, Gaitan has expressed his desire to be at the right side of Manchester, so much that at the time of this article's typing, Wikipedia shows Gaitan's current club as Manchester United. Probabilty of trasfer- 99.99%..........
This is all for this edition of transfer targets, see in one months time. We will keep you posted on any rumors floating in the world of football about United.....Bye for Now
