one of best striker we had

JUVENTUS and AC Milan are set to battle it out for unhappy Manchester United ace Nani.

Both Italian giants are keeping tabs on the Portugal winger's situation after he launched a scathing attack on manager Alex Ferguson.

Nani, 22, claimed Fergie has mis-managed him.

Juve are keen on a January swoop and could even attempt a loan deal with an option to buy at the end of the season for around £15million.

Boss Ciro Ferrara wants a winger who is versatile and can play on either flank.

Milan are looking at an end-of- season deal for Nani for around the same fee to replace England star David Beckham once his six-month loan from LA Galaxy expires.

Nani has so far failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford since moving from Sporting Lisbon in June 2007.

Manchester United plan to make a £20million bid for West Ham’s Carlton Cole when the transfer window reopens in January.

Sir Alex Ferguson wants to add strength to a squad weakened by the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez and has identified the England man as a replacement.

Nevertheless, a spokesman at Upton Park insisted last night that Cole is ‘not for sale’, and added: ‘We want to keep all our best players and the suggestion that we need to sell because of a financial crisis is not true.’

Cole has missed out on England’s friendly against Brazil in Qatar tonight because of injury but his development under Fabio Capello, as well as the progress he has made working with Gianfranco Zola and Steve Clarke at West Ham, has made him an attractive proposition.

Liverpool are also understood to be interested.

For Ferguson, though, Cole is someone who could play with Wayne Rooney and who offers something different — more of a physical presence — from the forwards he has at Old Trafford.

Ferguson has hardly touched the £80m United received for Ronaldo.

Andy and Dwight are the best striker partnership I've ever seen

The Best Strike Force We ever had.

Jose Mourinho ready to return to the Premier League

Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has alerted his potential suitors in England by admitting he would welcome a return to the Premier League with a club where he can found a lasting legacy.

Jose Mourinho was dubbed 'The Special One' upon arriving at Chelsea

Mourinho, currently managing Italian club Inter Milan, has been sorely missed in England since he departed Stamford Bridge in September 2007 having won back-to-back Premier League titles as well as the FA Cup and two Carling Cups.

His charisma and wit won him many admirers during his three-and-a-half years in the country and in Italy he has only built on his reputation by winning Serie A at the first attempt last season.

Reports continue to link Mourinho with a possible role at Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson finally retires and the Portuguese has made it very clear that he feels England is the best environment for him to try and emulate the Scot by achieving sustained excellence over an extended period at one club.

"Clearly it is unrealistic to expect to stay at a club as long as Sir Alex, but I am ready for the next phase of my career," Mourinho told the Times. "I want to work with a different perspective.

"At Porto, my objective was to win to earn the right to go abroad. At Chelsea, my ambition was to create a bit of history. But I always knew Chelsea lacked the normal English culture of stability.

"I was never under any illusions. I understood the personality of Roman and the culture of the people around him and knew it was not a job for ten years. My role was to give this man what he wanted - victory - knowing that, sooner or later, my time would finish, because there were too many things going on around me.

"In Italy, I was coming to the motherland of tactics, the country of catenaccio and defensive football. The objective was to win not only in a third different league but a place where they say foreign coaches have had little success. But the time will come for stability.

"I love Inter and would love to build for the future here. In fact, I am doing it now, because I am not a selfish coach and I'm thinking about the future in terms of youth development and the age structure of my first team - but Italy is not the country for this. England is the country. And my football is English football."

Mourinho to return to EPL and coach Man Utd when SAF retires?hmmm...interesting

I'll say "Tak Nak" to Mourinho, his playing style not suitable for Man Utd traditional style

What make you say that?  I admit he is one arrogant and cocky fella but you gotta agree that he got some skills up his sleeve.
