Man U Transfer Speculation: May 2006

[Dark Drakan]

The tabloids are predicting all-change at United as the transfer window edges nearer.

Ruud van Nistelrooy continues to be linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with former club PSV Eindhoven the latest side to be credited with an interest.

Feeding off their own rumours, the tabloids have set about casting their eye over potential replacements for the Dutch goalscorer - with Chelsea's Eidur Gudjohnsen strongly linked.

Then there's the old central midfield debate. Michael Carrick's name crops up for the second month in a row, while usual suspects Rino Gattuso and Mahamadou Diarra are still there or thereabouts...

[Straight Edge]

I don't want Eidur Gudjohnson at Man Utd, Gattuso could easily replace Keane, so I would be happy with Gattuso signing for Man Utd. I would love for Ruud to stay also, but I don't think he will unfortunately.
