Manchester United Prepared for Record Breaking £95m Real Madrid Bid: Jose Mourinho Sets Sights on England Man Rooney

Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly prepared for a record breaking bid from Real Madrid for England international Wayne Rooney as Jose Mourinho looks to bring in a new set of Galaticos this summer.

The Bernabeu outfit is set to back their new boss with a massive cash injection and the former Inter Milan and Chelsea boss has earmarked the 24 year old striker as his number one target.

Mourinho is hoping that the financial difficulties at Old Trafford would make the club’s owners consider such a massive offer for their prized asset but Ferguson is sure to fight against any potential sale.

Fabio Capello will be looking to Rooney to lead the line at the World Cup later this month and the former Everton man is hoping to continue his rich vein of form that saw him net 34 times in 42 starts. Clearly relations between Man United and Real Madrid have been strained for some time and Sir Alex is not enamoured by the club who has over the years nabbed a plethora of talent from the club most recently last summer when the La Liga giants stumped up £80m for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Despite Manuel Pellegrini spending over £200m last summer the club failed to wrestle the Spanish title from Barcelona and slumped out of the Champions League to Lyon. Mourinho has been brought in to reverse the club’s fall from grace in the past two seasons and the Portuguese manager has been told he will have large sums of money with which to re-invigorate his squad

The person who wrote this article probably missed Mou's press con and Higuain just renewed his contract so....

Mou is probably looking at 2 defenders and 1-2 Midfielders. He sees Ramos as a CB so #1 on the transfer list is probably Maicon as a RB. Kolarov is another defender I've seen being linked to RM recently

Maybe De Rossi as a MFerl?

T:;DR: Bullshit

rofl....you know, I think it would be good for an "English" player to go somewhere else an 'see how the other half lives' so to speak ....coping with a new city, country and language - it might actually make them appreciate just what they have .....

But, that's just my opinion :)

[miselemeas.livejournal.com]

Matt Derbyshire's coping in Greece just fine!

Yeah that's the only one I can think of who's done well abroad albeit he's been there for a year and a half.

[corporate-ninja.livejournal.com]

LOL.

But isn't Rooney too ugly for Real Madrid? The same way Ronaldinho was "too ugly" to sell RM shirts?

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

.... -__- how old are you?

Where were you back in '03?

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

maybe not interested much in Ronaldinho or without the means to get football from other countries beside my own?
At least I can't remember anyone calling him too ugly for any club considering what a great footballer he is/used to be.

I hope this means you were actually using sarcasm in your comment.

[saltypickles.livejournal.com]

I for one thought it was funny. Rooney is not very attractive. The guys on Real Madrid, on the other hand...

They should steal KFC's motto.

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

You may not find him objectively handsome, but attraction is an entirely subjective thing.
For me it's about how exceptional a person is.

(And it took me too damn long to tell the guys at Real apart x)

[saltypickles.livejournal.com]

Fair enough :)

[m-ac.livejournal.com]

[arooj.livejournal.com]

Haha, as much as I love Roo maybe they would reconsider how 'ugly' a player is considering how well Ronaldinho then did for Barca XD

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Love that icon, I love Frankie.

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

Isn't he cute indeed? x)

Well, last thing I heard he didn't want any major changes to the squad anyway. And honestly, I totally agree with what sparkey_sparks said. So for now: no playing with other peoples toys, José. Especially not with mine.

[zparklemotion.livejournal.com]

And since Higuaín is staying too - not very likely ;)

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

That. It'd be a damn shame to either bench Higuain or to buy Wayne and not play him.

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

Ha! I'm not going to argue with you on that xD

[offthebalcony.livejournal.com]

lol

[rayziz.livejournal.com]

I hate united with a passion but hell no I don't want Real to get Rooney
I still want some quality players in the league even if they're our rivals
so eff off barca and real.

[motsdesoie.livejournal.com]

so perfect

[howlin-wolf-66.livejournal.com]

Even Mourinho thinks this is far-fetched...

[arooj.livejournal.com]

Nah Mourinho said he'd love to have Rooney but he also said he knows he can not get him. Anyways, Jose and SAF are good friends, there's no way he'd try and upset him :)

Not going to happen anyway. He said it himself that he wouldn't try to get him.

[f33dm3astraycat.livejournal.com]

lol perfect.
mte.

[miselemeas.livejournal.com]

What's all this then? I thought Jose and Lampard were the ones to reunite and he was setting his sights on linking up with Gerrard (again). Nothing of Rooney came to my mind at all.

This Rooney link has come out of the blue, seems to be an agent/insider throwing about names to cause a buzz.

[karneol-vision.livejournal.com]

I'd say read more articles and interviews, it's been around since Mourinho was linked with Real.

And it's not like Rooney or United need any buzz after all.

[miselemeas.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I implied wrongly there. I meant because Mourinho's now Real manager, I meant it was buzz for him by being linked with any quality players, I didn't mean that Rooney or United were spreading gossip.

I still never noticed Wayne Rooney to Real Madrid transfer gossip at all this year so I was quite oblivious that it's been around!

[thestateiamin.livejournal.com]

lol yeah okay.

you'd think England was the only country with any decent players with these rumours.

[winterflings.livejournal.com]

Is this for real?!

[duare.livejournal.com]

Ooooh José, you might have the money, but we've got the talent.
Anyway, I don't believe Ferguson is going to let Rooney go so easily.
The rumour lane is been so full of bullshit lately...

[jada-casi1.livejournal.com]

LOL the list of players ~we somehow want in our club~ just keeps getting longer and longer. Okay writers, this shit is getting old now.

If/When Jose's gonna get a player, it's probably gonna be a defender, and unless Rooney is a defender, then yeah...

[2ndcitysophia.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until RM finish building that time machine and go swoop up George Best.

uh huh. That's about a likely as this Rooney rumor.

[akumar1393.livejournal.com]

hahahahahahahha lulz forever

[siobhanwashere.livejournal.com]

Normally i would lol and perhaps even post a humorous gif, but with the whole glazer thing and supposedly only signing Joe Cole coz he's on a free, idek anymore :(




I think i'm gonna go watch my 4-3 derby dvd again to cheer myslelf up
