Just days after Jermaine Jones made the move from the German Bundesliga to the English Premier
League, now comes word a U.S. teammate of Jones could be joining him in the EPL.
Sunderland is lining up a transfer bid for U.S. World Cup midfielder Michael Bradley. The Black
Cats are believed to be looking for a potential replacement for Lee Cattermole, who is battling a
back injury and is drawing transfer interest from the likes of Liverpool, and Bradley could be just
the player to solidify the midfield for Steve Bruce's side.
Manchester United are officially the best supported club in Europe according to Futebol
Finance.
Futebol Finance based their analysis on attendances last season, and with an average Old
Trafford attendance of 75,304 last season, United surpassed Real Madrid, the 2009-2009 winners.
What is surprising is the lack of Premier League sides on the list.
