Football Corner

Manchester United are apparently interested in bringing Bayern Munich right back, Willy Sagnol to the club in January, according to the sun newspaper. United haven't had usual right back Gary Neville playing for the club all season due to injury and rumour has it that Fergie is interested in bringing the player to the club for a fee of around £4.5 million.

Another interesting fact is that because Sagnol has only just returned from a lengthy lay off himself, he could still possibly play for the Manchester club in Champions League matches this season if he were to join. The 30 year old Frenchman joined Muncih back in 2000 after leaving French side AS Monaco.

Sagnol has been one of the best right backs in European football in recent years and it doesn't surprise me that Ferguson has been linked with him because with club captain Neville now 32 years old, United will need cover for him in two or three years time. I feel the fee of £4.5 million sounds a fair one for a player that has won no fewer than ten domestic titles in Germany and a Champions League to boot and he may of had a World Cup to go with that if France hadn't of lost that epic Penalty shootout with Italy back in 2006.
