Hugo Lloris, the 24 year old Lyon goal keeper, admitted he would like to play for Manchester United one day. United are looking for find a replacement for their first choice goal keeper Edwin van der Sar, who has announced his retirement at the end of this
season and Lloris, who is thought to be a target, admitted he would be interested in a move to Old Trafford.
Lloris said while speaking to reporters, “Manchester United is a great football club. They are one of the most successful clubs in the world, so, of course, Manchester is one of the clubs that make me dream.” However, he denied rumors of a move any time
soon. He added, “Moreover, it is unfortunate to lose a keeper like Van der Sar because even at 40 he is still able to do exceptional things. I also think he could keep playing. But for me, there is no question of leaving Lyon for the moment.”
Emilio Izaguirre lined up as Evra’s replacement
Manchester United are reportedly lining up Celtic’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231, who is expected to leave for Real Madrid over the summer. Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to not waste any time and has already started looking
for replacements with Izaguirre at the top of his list. The 24 year old Izaguirre joins Jose Enrique and Fabio Coentrao on Ferguson’s list for possible replacements for Evra.
The Honduran international is contracted to Celtic on a four year contract and it is expected that Celtic will not be keen on letting the player go during the summer. The 24 year old arrived at Celtic from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Motagua-c39953 last season and is currently one of the
lowest paid players in the first team. Izaguirre would be eager for a move away, especially to a top side like Manchester United.
It is understood that Benfica will most likely not want to part with their star player http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Coentrao either. Premier League side Newcastle United on the other hand might consider letting Enrique make a move if the right price is agreed upon. The 25 year
old Spaniard has been in terrific form this season but since he only has 18 months left on his current contract, which is why he is the most likely out of the three targets to make a move.
