Liverpool are entering the race to sign Chilean Alexis Sanchez of Udinese who is a target of Man Utd in a move sure to intensify the bad feeling between Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafael Benitez.
The reports not just in the Italian media but also in sections of the English media have been linking Man Utd with the 20 year old forward for some time now and by all accounts Man Utd are close to signing the youngster having missed out on a number of bigger name stars this summer already.
It is now being reported in Italy that Liverpool have also made enquiries and are ready to bid as much as €20 Million for the player regarded as one of the worlds top prospects.
Fergie would be furious if he is forced to pay more than what he would have without Liverpool getting involved but Benitez wont care, when he wants a player he does not care who’s toes he steps on.
Could this be the start of bad things to come between Man Utd and Liverpool?
who cares, man u and chelsea have been doing it to us for years !
I think you have the story confused a bit. Fergie Red Nose is the bad guy! get your story straight. If he wants him then pay whatever the market bares.
Well said, Col! Go Rafa. Step hard and leave a big LFC red footprint! YNWA!
He’ll probably be shit anyway
Benitez is a tw*t

WTF,MUFC you muppet.Rooney was stolen from Everton’s youth policy.We bid BEFORE you for Ronaldo and Vidic and Faggart swooped in with more money.Ask your urine-stink of a manager for some money to buy you a brain.
YNWA *****
Liverpool did not bid for Ronaldo you moron, Arsenal tried to get him but we have first refusal with our partner club.
Rooney was scouted by Manchester United since he was 9 years old. as for Vidic he is a Manchester United supporter.
Liverpool like to read and believe everything on the net, without any intelligence to think for themselves.
Maybe the fat spanish waiter should deliver you lot some brains.
Liverpool was offered Cristiano Ronaldo by Sporting the season before for just 6m pounds, but we don’t want him (probably because his diving ways doesn’t suit our club). Man U paid twice the price for him the year after. That’s beside the point. The point is Man U have been stealing players from Liverpool’s target list for years. 1996, we made a bid for Poborsky after the Euros and immediately Ferguson snapped him up. We almost lost Kewell when Ferguson made a last minute attempt to take him. Rafa made an official bid for Vidic only to have Ferguson stealing him with a higher offer. My point is, Man U have been relying on other clubs’ scouting system for years. Their own scouting system sux, come on, those who are good either came from the now-incompetent Man U youth system or already made a reputation before coming to the club. Other players just came to Man U so that Ferguson can enjoy the look of his rivals’ faces when he denies them the chance to sign these players. Stop deceiving yourself that Fergie scouted Rooney when he’s 9. If he is that good, he wouldn’t have been in the Everton first team, become famous, entered the National team and THEN sign for Man U. Perhaps you read and believe whatever you saw on the net as well!
Moron? Twat? Nob?
What is this a playground. The player is not under contract with ManU and that makes him fair game, of course any youth player with no allegiance to English teams would rather play for Benitez then for an angry Scotsman.
In any case at least if we can drive up the price another 10 million for you guys the mission would be accomplished.
Red-devil – Ahh, another useless Manc Muppet in need of education I see. Well listen carefully prat and you might learn something. Firstly Liverpool were OFFERED Cristiano Ronaldo for around 10 Million pounds a year BEFORE Fergie EVER looked at him or United ‘associated’ themselves with Sporting Lisbon but as we’d already bought a load of players that summer (2002) we didn’t buy him. As for your rubbish about Rooney – I can’t believe you write such shite and have the cheek to then expect us to take you seriously!! Rooney was on Everton’s books from a VERY young age and even played in the FA Youth Cup Final of 2001/2002 – He played in their First team from 2002/2003 – 2004/2005 when he was sold to your Manure pile. WHERE exactly in that is there a reference to OT – Go on tell me if you can genius (actually the definition of genius for an idiot like you would be finding ONE brain cell to use as you clearly have no more than that). And as for Vidic, we bid for him at the SAME TIME as United (Early 2006) But A:) They came in with a later, bigger bid and B:) We’d already bought Daniel Agger whose a far better ball player than Vidic and so didn’t have enough to sign the 2. Vidic being a United fan or not had nothing to do with it (Solksjaer’s a Liverpool fan – Didn’t know that did you?) Again fool, now your sad excuse for an ‘argument’ (ha ha) has been dissected so quickly – Care to explain just HOW United scouted these 3 players. That’s right you can’t can you? Because in ALL 3 cases they were stolen from other clubs (Youth policies of Sporting and Everton and a Liverpool bid for Vidic) pure and simple – United are parasites in transfer bids and showed it then………………………
This was taken off the Wiki site,
“He was first spotted by then-Liverpool manager Gérard Houllier at 16, but Liverpool declined to take him on because they decided he was too young and needed some time to develop his skills.[11] However, he came to the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in the summer of 2003, when Sporting defeated United 3–1 in the inauguration of the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon. Ronaldo’s performance impressed the Manchester United players, who urged Ferguson to sign him.[12]”
Mancracker United Fans also think that they are always right. Wake up and get a brain transplant.
Don’t you fools think that top clubs like Manure, Liverpool Arrrss, Chelski have a decent scounting system and know who the best young players are around the world. Problem is no one team can sign the lot of them. Who heard of Alonso before Liverpool signed him. Now Madrid want him for 15 mill more than liverpool paid for him. Same as a number of Liverpool players. Manure and Chelski normally buy the fnished article when it comes to players. Aprt from the home grown and one offs like Roanldo Manure have players that you would have heard about prior to joining Manure. But all the top clubs buy or try to buy the top tallent. Thats what makes them the top clubs.
RedDevil: You talk as if you have all the right in the world to take whatever you want and if others interfere then they are ‘morons’. You and your red nosed manager are pathetic. You think that only you are intelligent and that only you ‘think for yourselves’ and only you have brains. Muppets
MUFC: well said guys b….g like a bunch of girls we should continue this at the end of the 2009/10 season when United are CHAMPS again
Thanks Shaun The MORON !! Stick to the thread, thread is about the stealing players…
It isnt anything to be proud about that you had the chance to sign the best player in the world but didn’t!! it’s a bit like those guys who had the chance to sign the beatles but turned them down. I’d keep that one quiet if it was me!!
liverpool never going to get him he will be at man utd next season or at udinese also we dont care how much man utd buy the players for we just care about getting them at man utd
Rafa’s not gonna buy someone just to piss ‘Sir’ Alek off, he’s interested in buying if it’s right for the club. He’s not quite so petty as Taggart and his lover Allardyce. We can’t spend money like Man Utd so if he wants he can outbid Rafa. That’s what happens. One thing is for certain and that’s United need him more than Pool. If they miss out on him then makes you wonder why everyone Fergie goes for chooses not to play for him. Maybe they’ve heard the rumours of Fergies lust for curly haired teenage Brazilian boys!
Slur Alex you drunk. First u buy Owen and now you assume anyone you bid for belongs to you. I do wish Owen all the best – and hopefully does a Berba for you lot.
Sanchez is a great player, with a huge potencial,great card for Man U or Liverpool.
Alexis Sanchez is a fantastic prospect, any fool can see that, the fact that united have been looking at him for a while is a good indication of just how good he really is. Benitez can cry and throw his toys out of the pram all he wants but realistically YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY or clout to compete with Sir Alex. You should be more worried about keeping your best assets than upping the price of a player, because you won’t get him to replace Alonso. It doesn’t matter though, come the new season and your old son Owen will be scoring against you and we will be lifting the biggest prize in English football once again, something Owen never did with you lot. However worrying it is to see a scouser wear united red, there’s nothing better than watching a scouser wearing united red score against you lot…. doubled up by the curly haired Brazilian boys that your so upset about! You all make me laugh!!! Go on insult us again …. show everyone how impotent you really are! haha!!
Col from Surrey ? haha explains it all.
18 TIMES AND THAT’S A FACT
i think alexis sanchez is an awesome player..

Ohh sorry Manchester United bid for a player that cesspool where looking at… is that legal?
zekk67: diving doesn’t fit into your club? hahaha, just take a look at gerrard and the bruno lookalike.
SPORTING LISBON IS A PARTNER CLUB OF MANCHESTER UNITED
something cesspool would not know about because who wants to partner with the thieving pissing ignoramuses.
ohh solskjaer is a liverpool fan, so is o’shea big woop.
gerrard, caragher, McManaman, fowler, Owen – Everton fans did u know that, or is denial still kicking in.
Redshadow: Careful you almost said that Agger was a better player than vidic.
on a final not for the sad and pathetic….
lucky the cesspool team is full of home grown players…………………………FROM SPAIN.
talk about being ignorant. you lot like to point the finger but i think you should turn that finger around, sit on it and rotate.
GOOD PLAYER ALEXIS
man i can said that alexis is the next chirtiano ronaldo , i am from chile and i can said that he is estrordinary , i know him and i am sure that he will be a player that is woth.
Im LIVERPOOL fan ,we have to go for alexi sanchez is go tobe a best after of torres .sanchez sanchez sanchez ,.liverpool go for him…..y hate man.udt
ALEXIS SANCHEZ IS VERY GOOD !!
scouse c##ts….
Does it matter if Rafa comes in for him. I bet both scouting system saw Ronaldo even if he was offered to Liverpool before he joined us. Remember united have/had some sort of partnership with Sporting Lisbon and they must have been recomended him same time as Liverpool. Alexis Sanchez is a great prospect and all the top teams in the world probably know about him not just United and Liverpool. What a pathetic topic of who steals targets. United have done it to Liverpool and I bet Liverpool have done it to united. I find it humurious that Liverpool fans have to be insulting to united fans on players they missed out on.
