According to the Sun, SAF wants Damien Duff of Blackburn, because of his versatility (left winger, central and up-front)
Blackburn will ask for around 12 million....
Would he fit into the team well??


From 'The Sun'


DAMIEN DUFF is being hunted by Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson.

Old Trafford chief Fergie sees the Blackburn winger, 23, as the right man to help United crank up their Premiership title charge.

Fergie would have to part with around £12million to land the Republic of Ireland international, who emerged as one of the big hits of last year's World Cup.

But he would not hesitate to splash such a large amount - even though the player is currently out of action with a hamstring injury.

Duff has spent his entire career at Ewood Park and has steadily built on his reputation as one of the Premiership's best wide men.

He can play on the left, down the middle or - as proved by former Republic manager Mick McCarthy in Japan 2002 - as an out-and-out striker.

It is the sheer versatility that attracts Ferguson, who has already admitted it could be time to rebuild the squad at Old Trafford.

Inter Milan have confirmed Sunsport's exclusive that they want to sign Ryan Giggs for around £20m and will make another effort to land the Welshman this summer.

Giggs only recently signed a new contract at Old Trafford but Fergie has never been afraid to get rid of established stars - as he proved with Mark Hughes, Paul Ince and Jaap Stam.

Giggs and has been left on the bench for the past two matches.

United fans have also grown frustrated with his form, with some believing there is no longer an end product to his play.

He has not scored a league goal at Old Trafford since April 2000 and on top of that Giggs had the vice-captaincy taken away from him by boss Ferguson at the start of the season.

Blackburn boss Graeme Souness will fight tooth and nail to keep prize asset Duff but he knows the bottom line is money talks.

United have already been in for Tottenham sensation Simon Davies but were knocked back for the Wales international.

His addition would jeoperdize Richardson's chances of making it with the first team for atleast 2-3 more years IMO. But nonetheless it would be a very good buy.
