According to reports, Chelsea star Didier Drogba could be making a sensational switch to Old Trafford in the summer.
Manchester United have had some bitter rivals over the years, but none have matched London giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
Following Roman Abramovich’s takeover, the Blues have become annual contenders for England’s biggest prize and on many occasions have got the better of Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men.
Their mercurial forward http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 has often scored crucial goals against the Red Devils and is widely regarded as one of the best the world has to offer.
However his performances have not been up to his usual standard in recent months, firstly due to his age and then secondly because he hasn’t been afforded enough game time to stamp his authority on the pitch.
Now it seems that the player will leave Stamford Bridge in the summer and many sides have expressed interest in securing his services.
A financially lucrative switch to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nicolas-Anelka-c27786 has been mooted as a potential choice, but according to reports, Drogba may surprise the footballing fraternity by signing for Manchester United when the transfer window re-opens.
That alone could stir several headlines, as move to one of Chelsea’s direct rivals, could tarnish the image in London; he has worked so hard to build.
Furthermore, United may not be keen on acquiring him, as he is edging ever close to retirement and will not be able to play at the highest level for much longer. And even if a transfer does arise, it would cost the Red Devils quite a bit of money, investment
that would be much better off if utilized in obtaining someone like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcos-c23772.
Chelsea, though, have reiterated that they will offload the Ivorian International at the end of the current campaign and Drogba is searching for potential suitors, but what could seal the deal, is that it would be typical surprise signing by Ferguson.
Just like he did with Henrik Larsson a few years ago, Fergie could be tempted to utilize the 34-year-old for a season or two, so that the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 is to get on the
score sheet.
