Transfer Balls And Injury News

Last updated : 17 July 2009 By Editor

The Times reports that our interest in Douglas Costa is cooling after Gremio started asking for silly money. Figures of £20m are being thrown around by the Brazilian club whilst United's valuation is somewhat lower.

ManUtd.com report that new signing Valencia and Vidic will join up with the squad in Munich for the Audi tournament, although Obertan won't play until October because of injury.

Fergie expects to have Hargreaves back by the end of September and whilst he isn't fit to play in Munich he will be out there training with the team. Ferguson said "I think we are looking at the end of September depending on how he reacts. We are happy with his rehabilitation so far and while he won't be ready to play in Munich, he will be able to train."

And in non-United news Inter and Barcelona are apparently in talks to swap Ibrahimovic and Eto'o.
