Manchester United fancy £16 million German to partner Wayne Rooney

Posted by on July 8, 2010 | 8 Comments

Germany are now out of the World Cup but there is no doubt that a number of their players impressed during the tournament in South Africa.

Lukas Podolski certainly impressed for Germany and the Cologne striker is now attracting the interest of Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 25-year old scored twice for the Germans in South Africa and his representative, Kon Schramm, has confirmed that a number of clubs from around Europe have expressed an interest.

Schramm had this to say when asked about Podolski’s future: “There are enquires (with regard to Lukas) from England, Italy and Spain. At the moment Lukas is keeping fully focused on the World Cup campaign, afterwards he has a contract left at Cologne until 2013.”

United’s bitter rivals, Manchester City are also understood to be interested in Podolski but it is believed that the former Bayern Munich striker would prefer a move to Old Trafford.

Personally, I think Podolski would be a superb signing for United. I am sure the majority of United fans will agree with me when I say that the lack of a good strike partner for Wayne Rooney last season cost the side their 4th Premier League title on the trot. At the rumoured £16 million, I reckon Podolski would prove terrific value for money.

Feel free to leave your comments below.

Manchester United tickets are very hard to get a hold of but Live Football Tickets is a great site to find them.

    Podolski only seems to do the business at international level. Not a fan, and I think United could get better value for money.
