Manchester United Boss Considers Shock £14m Move for City Star Stephen Ireland
Rumours are circulating about the possibility that Sir Alex Ferguson may attempt to snap up Manchester City’s forgotten man Stephen Ireland this summer. The Man United boss has been linked with a move for the Irishman in the past and given the way Roberto Mancini’s side have managed in the last few weeks without the 23 year old is appears it may be very hard for the talented midfielder to find a way back into the Eastlands starting eleven.
Having had a tremendous season last term many expected Ireland to push on and further cement his place in the first team but a couple of niggling injuries and a lack of form has seen the Cork lad start just 16 Premier League matches this term.
Man United will of course find it hard to persuade their arch rivals to sell, especially as they are clearly no financial need to do so as the club appears to have a seemingly limitless wealth. If a move was made for Ireland though it would be very hard for the playmaker to not have his head turned by the interest shown by the Premier League champions.
The £14m rated midfielder will be keen to get first team football and may feel that in order to cement a regular starting spot he may need to leave Eastlands, however would he get a regular game at Old Trafford?

Giorgio Chiellini's agent has admitted that Manchester United and Manchester City are among the clubs interested in the Juventus defender.
The Italy international has reportedly attracted attention from across Europe after a series of impressive displays for Juve in recent seasons.
Reports have suggested that he could leave Turin this summer, with Juventus facing a battle to secure Champions League qualification.
The 25-year-old's representative Davide Lippi claims both Manchester clubs have been monitoring the situation, but Chiellini's focus is currently on finishing fourth with Juve in Serie A.
Chiellini would then look to sign a contract extension with the Bianconeri to put an end to speculation about his future.
"The primary objective of Giorgio is fourth place in the standings to get into the Champions League," Lippi told calciomercato.it.
"But we also give a little thought to the renewal of his contract. We met once with the club and I hope there will be another appointment soon.
"The intention is to remain at a great and glorious club like Juventus. We hope to find an agreement before the World Cup.
"Manchester City and United? Not only English but also some Spanish clubs would like to have Giorgio.
"In any case, his will is clear. He will stay quiet and continue to fight for the objectives of Juventus."
ქოჩალებს დაუმიზნა წელს ფერგიმ? ბენზემა, აირლენდი, კიელინი...შემდეგი? ბარტეზი?
იმედია იუვე 4-ში არ შევა
მეტი შანსი გვექნება
