LODZ OF PROBLEMS!
UNITED BOSS FERGUSON IS FACING A DEFENSIVE
CRISIS BEFORE POLISH CRUNCH
ALL the talk in the past couple of weeks has been about Manchester United’s
continued search for a new striker and, after their failure to find the back
of the net against Arsenal at Wembley yesterday, that is likely to
intensify. But, on the evidence of their display against last season’s
Double winners, Alex Ferguson’s pressing concern should be to sort out his
defence.
He won’t need to be told that after watching his rearguard – with £10.75m
Dutchman Jaap Stam at the centre of it – torn to pieces by an Arsenal side
who ran out comfortable 3-0 winners. The problem for Ferguson is that he has
only three days to repair the flaws exposed by that defeat before United
begin their European campaign. The Old Trafford heroes face Poland’s LKS
Lodz on Wednesday in a Champions League qualifier and the manager will know
he needs to tighten things up considerably at the back if he is to achieve
his dream of lifting the prize he covets above all others.
Ferguson allowed Gary Pallister to return to Middlesbrough in the summer and
he will be hoping he doesn’t live to regret that decision. His judgement in
shelling out a world record fee for a defender to lure Stam from PSV
Eindhoven was questioned in some quarters after the Dutchman’s displays at
France 98, and he did little yesterday to banish doubts about his ability to
cope with the pace of the best strikers in the Premiership and across
Europe.
United’s back four were carved apart by the Gunners, with Marc Overmars,
Christopher Wreh and Nicolas Anelka all netting. But the fact that his team
conceded three goals won’t concern Ferguson half as much as the manner in
which they conceded them. For the first, Dennis Bergkamp was able to
backheel the ball into the middle of the area for Anelka to slide it to
Overmars, who was all on his own 12 yards from goal. It was 2-0 when Wreh
was put through one on one with goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, the Dane
blocked Wreh’s first effort but, with central defenders Stam and Ronny
Johnsen nowhere near the ball, the Arsenal man was able to put away the
rebound.
Gaping holes appeared in the centre of the Manchester defence all afternoon
and Arsenal used the pace of Anelka and Wreh to exploit those opportunities,
giving United a warning of what they can expect in Europe. Ray Parlour set
up the third goal with a pass right down the middle that created a race for
the ball between Anelka and Stam - there was only ever going to be one
winner there! Ferguson will want to know how Parlour was able to thread the
ball into so much open space, and how his multi-million pound Dutchman was
left so cruelly exposed.
All of these questions will need answering quickly. The Old Trafford boss
claimed publicly that “Stam did OK and we just need to strengthen”, but in
private, when he and Brian Kidd sit down to dissect yesterday’s events, he
will be deeply concerned by the room Arsenal’s forwards were awarded in the
final third. Ferguson may still be hoping to bring in Patrick Kluivert
and/or Dwight Yorke to improve his attacking options, but if the goals
continue to fly in at the other end, United can forget about the Champions
League.

FERGIE HANGS ON TO YORKE HOPE
By David Anderson, PA Sport
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson refuses to give up hope of signing
Dwight Yorke from Aston Villa.
Yorke looks likely to remain at Villa Park after United chief executive
Martin Edwards admitted the two clubs were "poles apart" on agreeing a fee.
United have made one unsuccessful bid of £8million, while Villa maintain
they want £16million for the Trinidad and Tobago star.
Ferguson claims Villa's asking price is "crazy", but feels the deal is not
entirely dead. He believes the 26-year-old wants to come to Old Trafford.
"I was hoping to get Dwight Yorke here and I must admit that was really
important to us," he said. "However, I am not giving up hope on the deal.
"Villa have made it impossible to do business so far because of their
valuation. The £16million price tag is crazy, they are pricing the player
out of the move he wanted.
"It's unfortunate for the lad because he would have been a terrific player
here, but I won't give up hope."
United, though, are adamant they will not be held to ransom and they will
only offer what they feel the player is worth - and that is not £16million.
United director and solicitor Maurice Watkins claimed the gulf between what
they are offering and what Villa want is still large.
"The situation is that there is still a gap between the valuations of both
parties," he said. "One has to have a view on these matters, and the fact
remains that there is a big difference in the two clubs' valuations of the
player.
"So it appears that this is one transfer which has gone by the wayside."
Villa boss John Gregory would only be prepared to do business if Andy Cole
were offered as part of a player-plus-cash deal, but United do not want to
lose the former Newcastle striker.
The likely collapse of United's attempts to sign Yorke is the second rebuff
the club has suffered in six days.
Last week Patrick Kluivert rejected a move to Old Trafford, after United had
agreed a fee of £9million with AC Milan for the Dutch international striker.

Soccer-Schmeichel nominated for goalkeeper of the century award
WIESBADEN, Germany, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Denmark's Peter Schmeichel has
been shortlisted for a European "Goalkeeper of the Century" award to
be announced next January.
The Manchester United stalwart is the only keeper currently active
among the seven nominated on Tuesday by the International Federation
of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).
England's Gordon Banks, Lev Yashin of the Soviet Union, Sepp Maier of
Germany, Frantisek Planicka of Czechoslovakia, Ricardo Zamora of Spain
and Italy's Dino Zoff were the six other names on the list.
The IFFHS produced a list of Europe's 50 top keepers after asking
football specialists and historians from across Europe to vote. The
winner of the European Goalkeeper of the Century award will be
announced at the World Football Gala '99 next January.
Among those outside the final seven were England's Peter Shilton
(eighth), Northern Ireland's Pat Jennings (11th), West Germany's
Harald Schumacher (15th) and Edwin van der Sar of the Netherlands, at
27 the youngest player on the list, (joint 24th).
Current England goalkeeper David Seaman was joint 32nd, one point
behind Italy's Angelo Peruzzi and Neville Southall of Wales, while
France's second-choice goalkeeper Bernard Lama was 46th
