I had a good laugh today reading a report that suggested that Manchester United may be lining up a bid for Real Madrid’s Xabi Alonso. Apparently, Alonso may find himself on the Madrid bench next season as Mourinho would prefer to play with their new signing Nuri Sahin and Sami Khedira. Now this report may just be from someone trying to stoke up a fire where there is not one.
Manchester United are looking for a new midfielder to come in and replace Paul Scholes and Alonso may be the man they target to come in.
Now, Manchester United may want to sign Alonso. Why wouldn’t they? Alonso is one of the best midfielders in the world right now. He is 29 years old which means he has another three or four seasons under his belt. But why in the world world Alonso himself want to join Manchester United?
Alonso has made is clear so many times that he loves Liverpool and he never wanted to leave. It was Benitez who forced Alonso out. If Rafa was still in charge at Liverpool then maybe Alonso may want to move to United just to spite Rafa. But I do not think Alonso is that kind of a person.
Seeing Alonso in a Manchester United shirt could be worse than seeing Torres in a Chelsea shirt but not as disgusting as seen Owen wearing that United shirt!
About as much chance as me breaking in to the Liverpool starting 11.
Well I would’nt laugh too loudly,I fully agree with your comments buts its a funny ol game where nothing would surprise me. now a days football has become a greedy place where loyalies don’t matter any more.
Every player wants to win things, and if that player thinks he can achieve that goal he will join that club, that is a fact.
My feelings are Alonso has settled in Spain, is at a great club, winning things, happy with is football, WHY would he want to up sticks and play for United or anyone else!!
and yes it would hurt to see him in that orrible sh!t shirt.
Not a chance on the planet!!!
One of the bet midfielders- looool nice joke how he better than people like Sanchez, park, messi etc
Plus doubt Manu would want him he WAS a good player don’t think so anymore.
Well Alonso did hint he would come back to Liverpool and maybe this is a test to see if KK would bid for him. Honestly I believe if KK enquired he would jump at the chance. No talented footballer wants to sit on the bench and win trophies they would want to be involved.

Completely different midfielder you tool!
I wouldn’t put it pass Alex Ferguson. He has always envied Liverpool players.

Dan you are a typical united fan. You know nothing about football and you know nothing at all about Alonso. Go kill yourself you incompetent piece of shit.
