We have been monitoring Sporting’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricky-van-Wolfswinkel-c31131, says Manchester United coach Mike Phelan
Manchester United coach, Mike Phelan, revealed that they have been monitoring the progress of Sporting Lisbon star Ricky van Wolfswinkel for a long time. The striker has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent times and now the club official has claimed that they have been keeping tabs on him.
Dutch International, Ricky van Wolfswinkel has really made a deep impression in his new surroundings in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984. The forward made the switch from Eredivisie to the Primeira Liga in the summer and so far has churned out some spectacular performances.
Although he did not make an immediate impact at Estadio Jose Alvalade, his form in the last couple of fixtures has been highly impressive.
Scoring six goals in his last six matches, Van Wolfswinkel has made all the headlines and looks like a bargain buy at €5.4 million. His goal scoring feats have also not gone unnoticed in Europe and they have now attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs.
The likes of Manchester United, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and Newcastle United are rumoured to be interested in acquiring the services of the front-man and formal bids are expected to be launched in the upcoming January transfer window.
Although nothing concrete about the attention of Kenny Dalglish’s team or Newcastle has been revealed, Manchester United’s Mike Phelan admitted that his side were keeping tabs on the Oranje attacker.
Speaking to reporters, the trainer said that they had been monitoring the progress of the 22-year-old, who according to him is blessed with enormous talent and is going to become a star in the future.
"We have obviously known Van Wolfswinkel for a long time," he told Record. He is a young striker, very talented, who has been growing in the last few seasons,” he said.
However the tactician was keen to reiterate that the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905 man was not an exception and that the Red Devils monitored players from all over the globe, in search of the next big superstar.
"A club like Manchester United carefully follow many players all over the world,” Mike Phelan was quoted as saying.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men have been linked with the striker in the last few days and Phelan’s statement has only further hinted that a transfer might materialize in January.
The Premier League champions currently boast a plethora of strikers at the helm, but Van Wolfswinkel’s inclusion in the squad could take them to a new level.
However prising him out of the hands of Sporting Lisbon will not be an easy task, as the Lions are determined to hang on to their prized asset at any cost.
