Well in Sunday's Mirror, Simon Mullock is reporting that Manchester City are planning to make a blockbuster £60m offer for the United star.

The Independent has run a story today which claims that Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson have fallen out which has lead to the striker looking for a move away from the club, again.

Yesterday afternoon, or if back home in England, yesterday evening, a strange thing happened in the crazy world of soccer journalism and social networking that illustrated, to me at least, the huge power that has now developed across Twitter, Facebook and other popular network sites.

Days after Manchester United put themselves in position to win the English Premier League championship with a 2-1 victory over rivals Chelsea, James Lawton of the Independent writes of the evolution of the game of soccer, and how Manchester United and Chelsea have (or have not) changed with the times.

When a transfer window closes, a door opens; Andy Carroll's landmark £35m move from Newcastle to Liverpool, broke not only the transfer record for a British player, but also racial boundaries. The date of Wednesday 2 February shall ring through the ages, as this was the day when James Lawton of the Independent chose to describe the striker as "raw", a new era of equality and understanding between races dawned, as the young Carroll became the first white player to be described in these vaunted terms.

"Tomorrow their challenge could not be more basic. Bale has to reclaim belief in the suspicion that at his best he is beyond restraint, that he is indeed the most exciting, free-spirited and inherently intelligent young footballer in the world. Van der Vaart has to show again the ability to read a game more shrewdly than anyone around him.
