Transfer

The season isn't over but already the press are preparing for a busy summer of transfer speculation.

One of the latest names to be linked with United is Mamadou Sakho, a French Under-21 international defender. There have also been rumours about senior French midfielder Franck Ribery replacing Cristiano Ronaldo (Guardian).

The Daily Mail also speculates about Cristiano's future: "United have made the first steps to secure Kaka as replacement should Ronaldo leave this summer."

Another player touted for the exit door is Carlos Tevez. The Sun believes "Argentina ace Tevez is frustrated at a lack of action at United" and could be replaced in the Reds' dressing room by Lyon's Karim Benzema.

Manchester United has a policy of not commenting on transfer speculation.
