United are lining up a summer move for Chelsea's Frank Lampard. Lampard has 6 months remaining on his current contract. [Telegraph]
 
MANCHESTER UNITED want Frank Lampard and the Chelsea star is ready to move to Old Trafford.
Lampard has been told he is no longer wanted at Stamford Bridge, with his contract set to run out in the summer.
United manager Alex Ferguson is convinced the veteran midfielder, 34, can still do a job at the very highest level.
He is a long-time admirer of the player and tried to get him before he even joined Chelsea.
It is unlikely a deal will be done this month — when a fee would be involved — while Lampard is also keen to see out the rest of the season at Stamford Bridge.
But United are prepared to offer him a one-year deal in the summer, with the promise of a second year if everything goes well.
Contact has already been made from Old Trafford to Lampard’s representatives.
He currently has a number of options including another Premier League club and two abroad.
But United are firm favourites to land him in a deal that would have seemed unthinkable at the start of the season.

Thanks but seriously cut down on the use of twitter as a source. Its usually nonsense.

Very good advice. Anyone can make a Twitter account and spout a load of nonsense making up a load of lies, so its better to use more "respectable" sources.
 
Manchester United in prime position to land £12m-rated Crystal Palace striker Wilfried Zaha

Manchester United’s path to signing Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha looks to be clear after Tottenham insisted they would not pursue the youngster.

It is believed United are now in prime position to seal a deal, with rival clubs dropping out of the race because, privately, they believe Sir Alex Ferguson has already secured the player.

Zaha has become one of the most sought after players outside the Premier League, his elevation to the higher level inevitable.

The main issue is when, not if, it will happen with Crystal Palace hoping to keep the £12 million-rated 20-year-old until the summer at least.

Spurs on Tuesday night moved to distance themselves from Zaha, but it is understood numerous Premier League clubs who were following his progress have taken a step back recently because they are sure he is United-bound.

Palace hoped if a deal was agreed this month, United would agree to loan them Zaha for the rest of the season.

The Lampard move is a shrewd move from SAF. He realises that both Giggs and Scholes are likely to retire in the summer, so we are going to be low on numbers in midfield, and it's going to cost alot of money to buy top quality replacements.

Lampard is a top player and he isn't going to cost us a penny. Granted his wages will be high enough but you don't mind paying a free transfer abit over the top.

I don't expect him to be a first team regular, but he's a useful player to have in reserve or as an impact substitution :biggrin:

I hope we don't sign him. Not because he's a bad player but because it would make SAF feel, yet again, that we don't need to buy a world class central midfielder<grr>
