http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672 hints at Manchester United move
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 goalkeeper Pepe Reina has hinted at a possible move to bitter rivals Manchester United. The Spaniard’s comments come in the wake of Edwin Van der Sar’s impending retirement at the end of the current season of the Barclays
Premier League.
The veteran Manchester United shot-stopper will hang up his gloves at the end of the 2010-11 campaign, and Pepe Reina has expressed interest in filling the void left by the legendary keeper.
The Spaniard realises that Liverpool have been struggling in recent seasons, and he remains pessimistic about their chances of winning silverware in this campaign. Reina is disappointed with Liverpool’s recent trophy drought, saying that he would love
to play for a side where he could win titles once again.
Reina said, “We (Liverpool) always fought to be in the Champions League and try to win the title. But unfortunately it hasn't been the case in the last couple of years. I won't lie, I want to play in the Champions League and challenge for titles.”
Speaking on the possibility of moving to Old Trafford in the summer, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 international said, “Yes, well Van der Sar will hang up his gloves in the summer so of course they (Manchester United) are looking (for a replacement). Of course one likes
to fight for titles and be in a team that does that.”
Pepe Reina’s recent comments are in stark contrast to his statements earlier in the season. The goalkeeper had pledged his support for the Liverpool cause when the Reds were floundering in the lower half of the table.
The new development presents fresh problems for Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish, who had to deal with the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 for a whopping 50 million pounds.
Torres has been replaced at the front by former Ajax striker Luis Suarez, but it is unclear as to who could possibly fill in for Pepe Reina should the goalkeeper decide to leave in the summer. It will be an anxious few months for Liverpool before they
fate of their goalkeeper becomes clear.
