Although obviously nothing has happened yet, we have good sources that inform us that the Patron Saint of Gorton is transferring to 'Boro.
And this from The Sun today:
Nicky Butt is on the verge of a £4million move to Middlesbrough writes Neil Custis.
The transfer is set to be completed at the end of Euro 2004 — before pre-season training begins.
Butt, 29, realises his first-team days at Manchester United are now all but over and has reluctantly decided he needs to move on.
