Ferguson on Fernando Torres.

Sir Alex Ferguson believes Liverpool's new record signing Fernando Torres will be a big hit at Anfield, after confirming that Manchester United had been keen to land the Spain striker.

Ferguson told The Daily Mail: "Torres is athletic, he's brave enough and he'll run the channels for them, which he did well in Madrid.

"He's good in the air and has got a physique and he's quicker than you think.

"Over the past few years there has been some interest for us in Torres, but every time he signed a new contract. Sometimes you get fed up with that kind of thing."

Twenty-three-year-old frontman Torres made a £26.5million switch to the Reds this summer after finally deciding to leave Atletico Madrid, having previously been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United Gabriel Heinze and Patrice Evra

Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out any possibility of Gabriel Heinze leaving Manchester United for Liverpool.
The £6million offer was immediately rejected by United, even though it met their private valuation.
Many clubs from across Europe have also been linked with the 29-year-old, including Spanish champions Real Madrid, but it is unclear if anyone else has made an offer.
Real Madrid and Inter Milan have both been linked with the 29-year-old, who has become something of a folk hero among United fans because of the robust nature of his defending.
Ferguson is not convinced that the left-back is determined to leave the club, but if he was to stay he'd be competing with Patrice Evra for a place in the starting line-up.

Defender Patrice Evra,  admitted that he will no be the first choice left back but will fight for his place. Despite his recent form, the Frenchman does not believe his place in the first-team is set in stone. He told Sky Sports News: “I'm not the first choice, I'm just a player for Manchester United. 
Evra also had a few words for his team mate, saying: “Football is quick and you don't know. Gaby maybe is back and Mikael (Silvestre) I thought he played very well.

“I say when you do not give your best, the boss will take you on the bench. Nobody, in every game, is sure to play the game.”

Owen Hargreaves talks about Man.United.

Article from BBC Sport

New Manchester United signing Owen Hargreaves said he plans to win plenty of silverware at Old Trafford.

The England midfielder signed a reported £17m four-year deal after signing from Bayern Munich on 1 July.

"I'm looking forward to the next four seasons and having a lot of success and winning as many titles as possible," said the 26-year-old.

"There are so many fantastic players here and I think I'm just piece of a puzzle really."

Hargreaves added: "Every player brings his qualities and obviously mine are in the defensive midfield area.

"Hopefully I can win some tackles and keep a clean sheet for the back four, give them some protection and get the ball to the fantastic offensive players that we have.

"I'm 26, I've spent 10 years at a great club like Bayern Munich and had a lot of success as well.

"I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my career and to have the opportunity to play for one of, if not the, biggest club in the world."

Hargreaves was unveiled on Monday along with fellow new signing in Portuguese winger Nani.

"We have been monitoring Nani for almost as long as Cristiano," said United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

"In a perfect world, he would have stayed in Portugal for another year but circumstances forced us into action.

"He is different to Cristiano in that he can play on both sides of the pitch but also in the middle. He is quick, has a terrific engine and I know we are getting a very talented, flexible player."

Manchester United to sign Carlos Tevez.

According to The Daily Mail, Carlos Tevez is set to sign for Manchester United.  Tevez has reportedly agreeded to join Manchester United last night in a permanent deal worth more than £20 million. 
Subject to any challenge from West Ham, who insist that they still own the registration of the player who was instrumental in securing their Premiership survival last season, the deal will be completed next week.
If confirmed, the news from South America, where Tevez is with Argentina's Copa America squad, means that United will have taken their summer buying spree beyond £70 milion - making them world football's biggest spenders.

The Times also believes that 'Manchester United have won the race to sign Tévez'.

'It is likely that Tévez will move to United initially on a 12-month loan deal, with a fee of about £4million payable to Kia Joorabchian, the businessman who owns the economic rights to the player, and wages in excess of £3 million. Sir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, would also want the option of making the move permanent at the end of next season,' the newspaper reports.

If Tevez did sign, he would join United's other summer recruits in England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, Portugal winger Nani, Brazilian midfielder Anderson and keeper Tomasz Kuszczak.
