The Mirror and Guardian say that Saha could be going back to France after allegedly turning a loan move down to Fulham.

The Mail say that Owen has spent time looking for abodes in Surrey. So unless Glazer is moving United down south it could mean he may be going to Chelsea.

Nicky Butt is interesting West Ham

The Star:

Sevilla midfielder Julio Baptista has revealed that he fancies a transfer to the Premiership with either Arsenal or Manchester United. He is nicknamed 'The Beast'.

Anyway he says: "I would love to play for a team such as Manchester United or Arsenal. I have made up my mind that I want to go to England. It wouldn't just be a financial decision. The league there is the best in the world and my style of play would suit it."

This from Sky:

Although the new Benfica boss's visit may purely have been to examine United's coaching methods, there has been some talk in Portugal that he was identifying potential targets.

Brazilian midfielder Kleberson was strongly linked with a move to Benfica during January's transfer window and his name will inevitably be mentioned again in the Portuguese press.

However, Koeman refused to comment on his appearance at Vale do Lobo when confronted by local journalists.
