Football Transfer: True Or False? United Set To Grab Bale & Ronaldo, Liverpool To Sign Lucas Biglia

With Man United being a bit clueless since Ferguson's departure the Red Devils who have recently shown their interest in Ronaldo and Gareth Bale will do almost anything possible in coughing out the money to sign the both stars as that will almost guarantee them some trophies which they have lacked since Sir Alex Ferguson retired.

Few people would have watched Barcelona’s demolition of Real Madrid in El Clasico with more animated excitement than Ed Woodward, who may now believe himself to be one step closer to pulling off the megatransfer that will transform his reputation.

With each Gareth Bale scuff and Cristiano Ronaldo tantrum, Manchester United’s chief executive would have seen his chances of signing both players ever so slightly increase. And according the Sun, the “full-blown crisis” at the Bernabeu has put Woodward on “red alert” and “ready to pounce”.

UEFA Champions League Playoffs: United, Lazio Gunning For Qualification

Manchester United are looking to complete the job over Club Brugge in their Champions League play-off second leg on Wednesday while Italy's Lazio may have slightly more to do to secure a place in the group stages.

The English Premier League giants have a two-goal lead to take to Belgium after a 3-1 win at Old Trafford last Tuesday, while Lazio have a slender 1-0 advantage for their second leg against Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.

A 2-0 win for Brugge at the Jan Breydelstadion would be enough to take them through at United's expense (on the away goals rule), but United -- three-time winners of the Champions League -- are confident after Marouane Fellaini's late third goal in the first leg.

UEFA Champions League Playoff: United, Lazio Wins CSKA, Brugge Lose

A superb double by Memphis Depay took Manchester United a step nearer a return to the Champions League group stages as they ran out 3-1 winners over Belgian outfit Club Brugge on Tuesday in their play-off first leg clash.

While United -- who missed out on Champions League action last year -- will take a comfortable looking two-goal lead to Belgium, Sporting Lisbon will have a slender one-goal advantage to bring with them to Moscow, although their 2-1 win over CSKA ended the Russian side's nine-game unbeaten streak in Champions League qualifying games.

United were hit by an early setback with an own goal by Michael Carrick, who beat Sergio Romero -- preferred once again to David de Gea -- to put the visitors 1-0 ahead.

LAZIO: Can Joseph Minala Of Cameroon Be 17-years Old???

One of the biggest football stories of the week has been the age of Lazio’s new signing Joseph Minala, as many have questioned that the Cameroonian midfielder is actually 17 as he looks like more 40.
