Manchester United targeting Emilio Izaguirre
It has been reported that Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is targeting Celtic’s Emilio Izaguirre in the next transfer window.
Emilio Izaguirre, who featured in the FIFA World Cup 2010 for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Honduras-c2918, is being seen as the perfect replacement for Patrice Evra, who has been constantly linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
Moreover, there were some reports that Manchester United’s scouting squad was very impressed by the performances of the Honduras international defender and Sir Alex personally attended Old Firm Scottish Cup to observe Emilio Izaguirre.
The 24-year-old left back was the target of many European sides however, Celtic managed to sign him for four years from a local Honduras club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Motagua-c39953. The young defender has already made 19 appearances for the Scottish Premier League giants and has managed
to record a goal in the League.
Moreover, Emilio Izaguirre has been a regular member of the Honduras national team and has featured in 44 matches.
It now appears that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emilio-Izaguirre-c12489 is Manchester United’s long-term replacement for Patrice Evra, whose current contract is set to expire in 2012. Moreover, Sir Alex Ferguson sees the Latin American as one of the few players who have the potential to replace
Patrice Evra at Old Trafford.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 national team captain, has been reportedly linked with Real Madrid and the Frenchman is expected to leave Manchester United as soon as in the next transfer window. Evra’s current deal will expire in the summer of 2012 and he has
still not been offered a new contract by the Old Trafford outfit, which means that the he is likely to depart by the end of the 2010-11 season.
Evra is one of the most consistent players of Manchester United. The Frenchman was also the part of the Red Devils squad which won the Premier League title three times in a row from 2007 to 2009.
It seems like Manchester United are already searching Evra’s replacements and would approach Celtic in the next summer transfer window for Emilio Izaguirre.
The former French captain is considered as the best left back of the current era and it would be really hard for any player to replace him.
