TROUBLE AT THE TOP

NEWS JUST IN .....

Apparently, negotiations between Manchester United and Inter Milan's star midfielder Wesley Sneijder have hit a snag. The Dutch dead ball specialist has reversed his decision to open talks with United regarding a transfer in the January window, it seems that both he and his wife Yolanthe like to stay home and watch Eastenders on a thursday night.


Channel 5 could opt not to show Manchester United's Europa League matches despite the club's games being available to the broadcaster for the first time after their shock Champions League exit.

With Europa League games to be played on a Thursday it is unlikely United or Manchester City would wish to diminish their title challenges by fielding full-strength sides. There is an argument that a United second string including Dimitar Berbatov, Federico Macheda and Fábio da Silva may be less of a draw than City's, with Adam Johnson, James Milner and Samir Nasri.

Manchester United and City face fixtures in obscure, post-industrial, recession-ravaged countries on the edge of Europe. Manchester United season-ticket holders will not be forced to buy tickets for the Europa League campaign when United play at home.
