Although Tribalfootball is not such a reliable source, I think there may be some truth in the rumour.

RUUD VAN NISTELROOY has hinted that Barcelona forward Patrick Kluivert is set for a summer arrival at Old Trafford.
United`s Dutch striker revealed after the win over Charlton that he has heard Kluivert could be on his way to Manchester, and claimed it would take their respective games to the next level.
The pair play together internationally for Holland, and van Nistelrooy believes training together every day will help them develop.
Commenting after netting his hat-trick against The Addicks, van Nistelrooy said: "I have heard Patrick is coming to Manchester United - and I will be waiting there to welcome him to Old Trafford with open arms.
"He is the greatest attacking talent in Europe. "So far we`ve only played 18 internationals together but when we play together every week and train every day, we will become even better."
United chief Sir Alex Ferguson is a confirmed admirer of Kluivert and is certainly on the lookout for a new centre forward.
A whole host of names have been linked with a move to Manchester, including Ronaldinho, but Kluivert could be the answer if he has the blessing of The Red Devils` premier marksman.
Kluivert, who at 26 is approaching the peak of his career, has a season left to run on his Barca contract.
He recently said he wants to remain at Camp Nou for a further season, but could be tempted to move to Old Trafford and work on his burgeoning Dutch partnership with van Nistelrooy.

Not sure what to make of that - he's a great player there's no doubt about that, I'm just not sure about him though. Could it be that he's been at Barca too long and needs a change? I think also perhaps we shouldn't hold a grudge against him because he didn't want to sign for us many years ago. Times move on. I think he could be a great signing for us. I'm still wondering where he'd fit in though.
Contacted by this website, Kluivert's agent Mads Galsgaard said: "At present I can't comment on the story."
i think theres something to this story

I dont really want him here, he has turned us down before and once said Arsenal were the only club in England for him <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />
Manchester United have opened talks with Barcelona about signing Patrick Kluivert to form a Dutch dream-team with Ruud van Nistelrooy.
United watched the 26-year-old score the winner when Barcelona beat Real Sociedad 2-1 last weekend.
They have started negotiations with the Spanish giants after being told Barca will do business at a cut-price £7million. Nou Camp officials also told the Old Trafford club that they would welcome a double Dutch swoop, with former Arsenal winger Mark Overmars available for £5m.
The Sunday Mirror say that Ruud is to be offered a new contract worth 80 grand p.w.

Kluivert's a prick, a cheat and a cry baby.
And most of all: the RVN-PK-partnership has rarely worked very well for Holland.

I have always said that i disliked Kluivert mainly for his attitude but having read some of the posts in the thread he has been through a lot which would have affected any player.He would score goals at United i have no doubt about that, he will add an aerial threat from set pieces and open play which we have been lacking.
Maybe he needs a fresh start and a club he can really settle down with and challenge for honours every season.If we could get him for the reported £7 million i would be happy, don't think he would take too long to settle down he can already speak english and seems physical enough to handle the pace of the premiership.

Did i read right? £7 million? Bastard or not, he's a quality goal scorer, and if things didnt work out we could probably recoup the fee and some. I assume Barca are selling on the cheap because he's reaching the end of his contract, because he's young, and would be suited to the fast-paced Premiership. I did have second thoughts about his attitude, but we've had plenty of attitudes in Sir Ferguson's time, nothing he cant handle. And all this talk of his preference for Arsenal - Cisse has said he wants to join Arsenal or Liverpool, and Ole himself was a Liverpool fan - so what?
for that money have him. a great partner for ruud and he has played in all the big matchs at club level.

Kluivert IS pacey, he's faster than Ruud. Cruyff says he's faster than Overmars too. Its just not that blatantly obvious because he doesn't base his whole game on pace and getting clear of the last man, unlike a number of strikers we could mention.
I wouldn't call him a world class goalscorer. He's never managed more than 17/18 league goals in a season. He's nowhere near as ruthless as Ruud or Ole, but tends to be a scorer of good goals rather than a good goalscorer.

That's OK, we don't need him to score more than 17/18 goals a season if he's playing off Ruud. Eric used to put in something like that, and Scholes has done about the same this season.
Still don't like him though.
Kluivert isnt my first choice at all, but its the TYPE of player we NEED.
Ruud has been playing flat out for us for 2 seasons in a row. I dont think we can EXPECT that again next year. We NEED someone like Kluivert who can form a decent partnership from him, provide a reliable source of goals and MOST IMPORTANTLY
play up front alone in our 4-5-1 in Ruud place and actually do a decent job of it.

Kluivert is arrogant but so is Keano
He is lazy but so was Cantona
and He turned us down but feckin sake so did Blanc (4 times)
Patrick is young, hes a renowned star and RVN sees him as his perfect partner. At 6m hes quite a catch, so whats wrong with him?

Patrick Kluivert has rubbished rumours that he is on his way to Manchester United.
The Holland international striker has been linked with a summer switch to the Premiership champions, but says he wants to stay at Barcelona.
Kluivert has been targeted for abuse by some sections of the Nou Camp crowd and international team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy has said the 26-year-old would be his perfect strike partner.
Old Trafford chief executive Peter Kenyon has promised summer additions to Sir Alex Ferguson's squad, but Kluivert says he will not be one of them.
"There is nothing certain in those rumours," he told the club's webiste. "I have always said that I want to stay here.
"The 15th of May is the date and we will see what happens before then. If I need to speak with the directors I will do it."
May 15 is the date that Barcelona have to take up the option to reduce his salary in return for a reduction in the player's but-out clause. His current contract runs out in 2005.
-----------------------------------------
Sod him, he can rot play non European football then and we'll sign Kewell or Ronaldinho

Its a well known fact. Ive seen it mentioned by lots of Eric's team mates. I remember Keano mentioning that in his book, how Eric never tracked back or chased players down but made up for that when he had the ball.
I believe Fergie told Cantona that he did not want him to tackle simply because he could not do it.
Eric Cantona was certainly not a lazy player. But don't let facts stand in your way.

It's true Amir. Keano said Eric was a right lazy bastard, but just one moment of skill and bang! One nil.

If I had to listen to everything Roy said I'd be a very confused person.
Certainly everything I heard about Cantona and his training more than hints to the opposite.
Not that any of it makes Kluivert some who may be lazy but a genious.
um.....please be aware that keano has a very dry sense of humour. it was likely a joke.
Cantona was not lazy.
Cantona was not lazy.
No it wasn't. Read it in his book.
Cantona was a genius but wasnt exactly a box to box player wasnt he?
Great players like Keane and Hughes had confirmed that.

Interesting quote from a Barca fan....
as a Barcelona fan i would love to see the back of Kluivert. He is not good enough for Barcelona so he is defo not good enough for Utd. I hope they sign him. He is more trouble than he is worth.
I agree.

In a team where managers fail, are sacked and then again re-appointed, where confirmed stars and legends (Rivaldo and Guardiola) are shown the door for free and where great players like Overmars, Litmanen and Kluivert can’t do a heck, Barcelona is not the ideal ground where a player can perform.
Yes Patrick has a difficult character but he is a born winner. He is young, he is one of the brightest talents in Holland and apart from “forget my daddy” Cruyff, the Dutch players had always made a great impact in our team. 6m (maybe less) is a bargain and I think that SAF should bring him to OT.
Ruud wants him, why don’t you?
I suspect that many don’t want him just because he turned us down. That’s a great mistake that many underestimate (expecially those who cheer and clap Mr “I turned Manchester United for 4 times” Laurent Blanc). Yet remember that Patrick then was young and he deserves at least another chance
