Empoli youngster Alberto Massacci claims he has signed for Premier League champions Manchester United. The 16-year-old right-back has never figured in the first-team squad of the Serie B side but impressed United's scouts during an international youth team event last year, where he was voted player of the tournament. Reports suggest Massacci has already spent three days in Manchester, having a medical, and is set to fly back on Sunday to sign on the dotted line, and the teenager admits he has been left somewhat stunned by it all.
English tabloid The News of the World suggests that the 22-year old has been left with an uncertain future at Old Trafford following the Premier League champions’ purchase of Antonio Valencia from Wigan for €16m.
Recent rumours are touting Samuel Eto'o to move to Manchester United this summer despite alleged interest from cross-town rivals. Eto'o is apparently willing to take a large wage drop and turn his head at the riches of city for the success of United.
Everton are preparing a shock move for Manchester United midfield stalwart Paul Scholes, according to reports in Sunday's press. Both the Daily Star Sunday and the Sunday Mirror have linked Toffees boss David Moyes with a move for the 34-year-old Scholes. Everton already have a strong ex-United contingent at Goodison with Phil Neville, Tim Howard and Louis Saha all plying their trade with the Toffees.
The People reports that Aston Villa midfielder Ashley Young is a close target for Man Utd. Ashley Young (23) has made his England debut and is probably one of the most exciting young players in the game today. A dream move to Man Utd will of course be tempting.
