Utd in for Aaron Ramsey

Updated on 10 Jun: AR decided to join Arsenal, feeling that he may play for Arsenal next season, rather than signing for Utd and loan back to Cardiff.

Aaron Ramsey, the 17-year-old Wales international, will now discuss personal terms and undergo a medical with United, after United have agreed a fee with Cardiff for the transfer.

In this season, Ramsey, a midfielder, played 20 games for Cardiff and scored 2 goals. Weighing 76kg and is 1.78m tall, he is suitable for the physical battle in the Premiere League.

Robinho for Ronaldo?

REAL Madrid winger Robinho claims he could be used as a makeweight in a deal to take United winger Cristiano Ronaldo to Spain. But both Utd and Real declined comments.

I will rather they include Sneijder as well, if Ron really wants to leave.

Robinho, 24 years old, played 32 games and scored 11 goals for Real Madrid in Spanish League this season. He played 6 games and scored 4 goals in the Champions League.

Sneijder, aged 23, played 30 games and scored 9 goals for Real Madrid in Spanish League this season. The midfielder also played 5 games in the Champions League.

Benzema for Utd??

UNITED are reportedly ready to make 30 million pound bid for 20 years old French international forward Karim Benzema. United hoped to tie up a deal within the next seven days if possible as his value may increase after Euro 2008.

Benzema is not the only striker in sight with Sevilla forward Fabiano, Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov and West Ham's England striker Dean Ashton also under consideration.

Benzema played 37 games for Lyons in the French League this season and scored 21 goals. He has 7 games and 4 goals to his name for the Champions League. At 1.83m tall and 73 kg with good speed, he is an ideal target man.

Match Reivew (Man U vs Chelsea)

What a match! ...Utd could have won it in the first half. But we probably need another nail-biting finish.

VAN DER SAR (7): He saved the penalty that matters! But we need foster next season.
BROWN (7.5): Good left-footed cross for the goal, and made good defensive plays.
FERDINAND (7.5): Played well again, deserved to captain this great team.
VIDIC (8): Drogba could not beat Vidic while playing football, so he went for the slap instead. Had a great game.
EVRA (7.5): Attacked and defended well again.
HARGREAVES (7): Worked tirelessly and showed some attacking moves.
SCHOLES (6): Decent first half, but second half display was forgetable.
CARRICK (7): Played well in the first half, but could not hold the midfield after Scholes faded.
RONALDO (8): Great goal in the big game, made Essien looked like a fool. Missed the penalty though.
ROONEY (7.5): Made several good passes, faded in 2nd half when Chelsea snatched control of midfield.
TEVEZ (6.5): Missed 2 glorious chances, otherwise good effort.

GIGGS (7): (for Scholes, 87) Broke Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time appearance record for United.
NANI (6.5): (for Rooney, 101) Scored his penalty in the dramatic shoot-out.
ANDERSON (6.5): (for Brown, 120) His only touch of the game was the fiercely-hit penalty.
