The MEN say that United are looking at two strikers from South America. Scary:
Brazilian superstar prodigy Kaka could answer Manchester United's January transfer window dilemma.
The 20-year-old Sao Paulo striker is destined for a move to Europe and is rated the best youngster produced by Brazil since Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
Reds' boss Sir Alex Ferguson has outlined the difficulties in adding to a squad in mid-season. The high calibre targets that would be on Fergie's wanted list are all ineligible for United Champions League duty.
Kaka played just 18 minutes in Japan as Brazil won the 2002 World Cup but his skill, strength and awareness at setting up and scoring goals has earned him the label as the new superstar in Brazil.
In Argentina, River Plate's Fernando Cavenaghi, 19, is another potential Reds target who is fast earning a reputation as a brilliant finisher.
The Screws say that we are after Mario Jardel saying that he is unsettled at Sporting Lisbon and theior manager is willing to accept a cut price move.
It is rumoured that United will offer West Ham 3 million plus Roy Carroll for David James.
Papa Dioup (The Mirror): Senegal World Cup sensation Papa Bouba Diop's dream of landing a New Year move to Manchester United has been dealt a blow with the news that Lens have slapped a £10m price tag on the midfielder and that he now needs an operation that will sideline him until Christmas.
