Pallister's new link to Sunderland «« 
The imminent arrival of Jaap Stam has lead to the inevitable speculation
surrounding the future of United's established rearguard - none more so
than centre-half Gary Pallister.
Pallister, recently linked with a move to promotion-hopefuls Middlesbrough,
is now a reported target of Peter Reid's Sunderland.
Peter Reid is keen to add some senior players with top-flight experience to
add to his rather young squad.
The futures of David May, Gary Pallister and Henning Berg have all come
under the microscope during the weeks of Stam speculation.
Stam looks certain to start the new campaign, with Johnsen favourite to
partner him.
However despite all the speculation, the word from Old Trafford is that
Alex Ferguson doesn't want to sell any of the players.


   Foe update «« 
As we revealed earlier this week on TEAMtalk, Alex Ferguson was in Paris
last night to watch another of his reported targets Marc Vivien-Foe.
United are believed to be lining up a £3m deal for the 22-year old Cameroon
international, who can operate in defence or midfield.
Ferguson commented:
"I see Foe as a midfielder with us. He is a very powerful player and has
had an outstanding season for his club.
"He's an interesting prospect."


   Super League shocker «« 
A Sunday tabloid newpaper has run a story claiming that Arsenal, Manchester
United and Liverpool are all mulling over a decision whether or not to join
a European Super League, planned for the new Millennium.
It is reported that as early as 2002, a new two-division league may be
devised spanning the 32 best teams in European club football.
If the story is found to be true, the repercussions on the domestic league
system will be horrendous.
The report comes in the light of power struggles on the continent, and
Premier League spokesman Mike Lee admitted there are problems which have
recently talked about.
He said: "We've been talking with other leagues in Europe. We've been
discussing things like, Bosman, agents, club competitions and international
fixtures; although it's well documented certain clubs in Italy have looked
at that possibility."
We await further developments.


  United link with Blades defender «« 
The latest player to be linked with a move to Old Trafford is Sheffield
United left-back-cum-left-midfielder Wayne Quinn.
Quinn has proved himself a big hit with the Bramall Lane faithful after
turning in some impressive performances for the promotion-hopefuls.
If the article is true to form, Quinn could well prove to be a valuable
addition to the United squad because of his versatility and with United
having no other natural left-footer in their regular first team other than
Ryan Giggs, Ferguson's may find his hand forced.
It is further claimed that United's new chief scout Mick Brown has watched
the England Under-21 and B international on a number of occasions.
Quinn is an obvious starter for the Blades' must-win clash at Edgeley Park
on Sunday, with United needing all three points to secure themselves a
play-off spot.
United are likely to demand a fee of £1.5m.

Man United 3 May 1998
FERGIE AIMS TO FINISH ON A HIGH

Manchester United will not be easing up even though the title is all but
lost.

United play their final home game of the season against Leeds tomorrow
evening and - regardless of what happens at Arsenal today - manager Alex
Ferguson wants to win it.

The Old Trafford outfit have already secured second place and a coveted
berth in next season's Champions' League, but Ferguson wants to finish on a
winning note.

Leeds beat United in September at Elland Road when Roy Keane injured his
knee and Ferguson is anxious to sign off on a high against their fierce
rivals.

He was pleased by their victory at Crystal Palace on Monday and he wants to
build on that and win their last three League games.

``Our performance against Palace was excellent and we will be doing
everything we can to win our remaining matches,'' he said.

``We've got to make sure that we win our last home game against Leeds.

``We all want to end on a high note and we want a good performance for that
reason as much as anything else.

``The last home game is always important and particularly so in this case
because it is against one of main rivals.''

Ferguson knows, though, from past experience that that is easier said than
done against George Graham's side, who have set their sights on claiming a
UEFA Cup spot.

``It's going to be a hard game against Leeds because they have been doing
well recently. George has done a terrific job there and he's got them really
well organised.

``We recognise what he's done and we know that it's going to be tough. The
fact that it is a local derby type situation gives it even more edge.

``But I think our players are on song at the minute and can handle that.''

Old Gunnar Solskjaer misses the Roses match as he begins his three-match
suspension for his sending off against Newcastle and he will also be banned
for the first game of next season.

Gary Neville returns after he missed the victory at Selhurst Park with a
virus, but Ronny Johnsen is out as he recovers from his cartilage operation.
