The Red Devils could possibly land the American this summer, who is also on the radar of Arsenal and Tottenham.
Fulham have had an average season in the Premier League but the efforts of their central-midfielder Clint Dempsey have not gone unnoticed.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/New-England-Revolution-c40026 man has been in imperious form this term and has been one of the main reasons why Martin Jol’s side aren’t absorbed in the relegation battle.
His 21 goals are record for the club and have catapulted him to fame, earning interest from several top English clubs in the process.
According to reports, London giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Tottenham have been monitoring the progress of the 29-year-old and are going to be making a bid for his services when the summer window opens.
Now it seems that Manchester United have also joined their rivals in the race to acquire the attacker and given how their midfield has often struggled in the absence of the ageing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394, a transfer could well be on the cards.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 man cannot be the toast of Old Trafford forever and will need replacing sooner rather than later.
Dempsey would be a great addition in terms of his goal scoring record and would reduce a lot of burden from Wayne Rooney’s shoulders. But his age means that he will little or no re-sale value, meaning that if he doesn’t adjust to his surroundings in Manchester,
United will suffer a huge financial loss.
The American International has creativity in bucket loads and can also score some screamers alongside his set piece ability, which make him a decent addition to any top flight club.
However a potential stumbling block to the transfer could be the fact that United have been searching for other targets and have set their sights on much younger recruits such as Ajax’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 of Lille.
Dempsey, though, has hinted that this season might be his last at Craven Cottage and he could depart for greener pastures elsewhere, whether be it the Emirates, White Hart Lane or the Red Half of Manchester.
