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.

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: Arsenal Still Has A Strong Chance To Qualify For Last 16 Says Wenger

Most fans will want to write off Arsenal's chance of making it to the last 16 of UEFA champions league but Arsene Wenger thinks it's very possible. The gunners surprisingly lost their first two matches and will have to rely on other group results to qualify and that's if they win the two matches left with a high goal margin.

Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal can still salvage their calamitous UEFA Champions League campaign as they prepare for Tuesday's must-win showdown with Dinamo Zagreb.

Wenger's side are on brink of a stunning failure to make the knockout stages for the first time in 16 years after three defeats from their four Group F fixtures. The Gunners must beat Croatian side Dinamo at the Emirates Stadium to keep their hopes alive, but even that won't be enough to avoid elimination if second placed Olympiakos, who sit six points ahead of Arsenal, draw or win at Bayern Munich.
