Manchester United Transfer News :\u00a0Sir Alex Ferguson \u2018Confident\u2019 Over \u00a0Robin Van Persie<\/h1>\n

Sir Alex Ferguson comments come as reports claim Berbatov could have even less playing time next season if \u00a0Manchester United capture Robin van Persie from Arsenal.<\/p>\n

Manchester United boss has told \u2018footballing friends\u2019 he is confident of signing the Dutchman ahead of rivals Manchester City and Serie A side Juventus.\u00a0This may well be true, but then Sir Alex wouldn’t be the first person to make implausibly self-aggrandising predictions regarding achievements in the workplace, only to end up looking foolish when he ends up scouring newspapers in search of football transfer-related tittle-tattle for a living.<\/p>\n

The paper claims Manchester United are set to make a \u00a320million bid for van Persie after long looking like third favourites. Should \u00a0Robin van Persie arrive at Old Trafford that would give Sir Alex four top-class strikers and would mean Berbatov gets even less playing time.<\/p>\n

Van Persie has been linked with a deal with City worth \u00a3220,000 a week in wages and it has previously been reported that United will match City\u2019s offer.<\/p>\n

Manchester United Transfer News :\u00a0Sir Alex Would Look at Berbatov Offers<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has responded to Dimitar Berbatov\u2019s comments at the weekend about a departure from Old Trafford. The 31-year-old is looking to leave United this summer but posted on his Facebook page on Sunday that there is no clarity about the club\u2019s asking price.<\/p>\n

United are believed to want around \u00a35million for Berbatov but are finding no takers at that price and while Sir Alex feels there is still a role to play for the striker he says his playing time will not be as much as the Bulgarian wants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not need to herald the abilities of Dimitar Berbatov, he is a fantastic talent,\u201d Sir Alex said after Berbatov laid on United\u2019s winner for Federico Macheda in their opening pre-season friendly against South African side Amazulu last night.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast season he didn\u2019t quite get the amount of football he wants. At his age, it was difficult for him to accept his position in the forward line<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had Rooney, Welbeck and Hernandez in front of him, and they are all young men. The boy has a future, but if he wants to leave it is a different matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am easy about it if he stays \u2013 I would be happy with that \u2013 but if someone comes in and Dimitar wants to leave, we will assess it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Manchester United DHL 2012 Tour got off to a winning start in Durban on Wednesday night, as Federico Macheda’s first-half strike edged an entertaining affair against Amazulu FC.<\/p>\n

Both sides created chances in an open encounter in which goalkeepers shone. United’s Anders Lindegaard and Amazulu’s Taupwa Kapini made a succession of superb saves. In the end, they were probably the only two men who were pleased the night featured just one goal.<\/p>\n

Not that the Durban supporters left disappointed. The crowd were treated to some fabulous passing moves from both teams, a match played in generous spirit and a late cameo from summer signing Shinji Kagawa.<\/p>\n

Fellow summer arrival Nick Powell didn’t feature at all, although there were plenty of other new faces in the Reds’ line-up. Frederic Veseli, Scott Wootton, Robbie Brady and Jesse Lingard all pulled on a senior shirt for the first time, with Marnick Vermijl, Tyler Blackett, Ryan Tunnicliffe and Davide Petrucci also claiming the honour when they came off the bench in the second half.<\/p>\n

Played against the backdrop of celebrations for Nelson Mandela’s 94th birthday in Durban’s Moses Madhiba Stadium, the match started brightly. Javier Hernandez spurned a golden chance inside two minutes following fancy footwork and a stinging shot by Federico Macheda, while Paul Scholes thrilled fans with a series of clever passes.<\/p>\n

Manchester United (4-3-3)<\/strong>: Lindegaard; Veseli, Ferdinand, Wootton, Brady; Carrick, Scholes, Lingard; Hernandez, Berbatov, Macheda. Subs: Johnstone (g), Amos (g), Valencia, Anderson, Powell, Kagawa, Bebe, Vermijl, Blackett, Petrucci, Tunnicliffe.<\/p>\n[media id=545 width=610 height=340]\n\n
