PILKINGTON RELEASED BY UNITED
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington has joined long-serving Brian McClair as the
second first-team squad regular on the list of players to be released by
Manchester United this summer.
McClair was told last week that his contract was not being renewed after 11
years, and 24-year-old Pilkington is also being freed, after playing four
times in the Premiership and serving as cover for Peter Schmeichel since
making his debut in 1994.
Youngsters Stuart Brightwell, David Brown, Ross Millard and Gavin Naylor
are others leaving United, along with Graeme Tomlinson, signed from
Bradford City in June 1994, and trainees Adam Sadler and Leon Mills.
Just heard on GMR that Ben Thornley has been offered a new contract. I'm
very pleased for the lad - he's Red to the core and has seemed to improve
in the latter half of this season. Hopefully, he can keep up the
improvement. Kevin Pilkington is being released. Not a surprise,
especially after having seen Culkin have some excellent games for the
reserves - and he's 2/3 years younger. Sad for Kevin though, it was bad
luck to be behind someone like Peter.

Subject: FERGIE'S BANKING ON £11M BATMAN
MANCHESTER United manager Alex Ferguson has made an £11million swoop for
Argentinian striker Gabriel Batistuta.
I can reveal that talks have already taken place involving Batistuta's
personal agent Littimio Aloisio aimed at bringing the world-class
goalscorer to Old Trafford.
Through third parties Fiorentina have agreed to let their player go for
£11m - and that has not frightened off Ferguson. The United boss has
pinpointed Batistuta as the man to restore United's dominance of the
English game.
Batistuta, along with the £10.7m purchase of Jaap Stam, are the key
ingredients of a realistic attempt to win the elusive Champions' League.
Ferguson and United chairman Martin Edwards will spend the next ten days
deliberating on whether to break existing club wage barriers.

The Gary Pallister Column
Hail Giggs!
By Gary Pallister
Three-way bet - Gary at the races with Denis Irwin and Chris Casper
IT'S natural at the end of the regular season to look back and remember
the highlights and low points.
This week I decided to scratch my head, get the memory cells working and
pick out some of the Pally award-winning moments of the past seven months.
BEST MATCH I PLAYED IN
IT has to be the Champions' League win against Juventus. The Italians are
possibly the finest team in Europe so it was a big step for United to give
them a goal start and still go on to beat them 3-2. To not only beat them,
but to do it in style was a night to remember for everyone.
Everyone was flying that night - we didn't carry a single bad performance,
which is unusual for any football team! There was a buzz in the dressing
room afterwards. We had been beaten by Juventus twice before, annihilated
on one occasion even though we only lost 1-0.
BEST MATCH I PLAYED IN RUNNER-UP
THE 5-3 FA Cup win at Chelsea was amazing; we were 5-0 up before they knew
what had hit them. It was one of those games where everything clicked into
place. They were challenging us at the top of the league and people
expected them to beat us. But we never gave them a chance.
BEST GOAL
RYAN Giggs against Juventus. Ryan was flying all evening and the goal was
the icing on the cake of a world-class performance.
He took on a defender, made up his mind to shoot and fairly rifled one in
at the near post. It flew into the top corner - a great goal against
top-quality opposition.
BEST OPPONENT
EMILE Heskey and Michael Owen are two youngsters who have really impressed
me this season, for different reasons. Heskey's strength is phenomenal
while Owen has caught everyone's imagination because of his pace and
scoring power.
BEST DEFENDER
RIO Ferdinand really looked the part when he trained with England. For
someone still in their teens, he looked so comfortable and composed on the
ball. I'm sure he has a great future.
UNITED'S PLAYER OF THE SEASON
RYAN Giggs, sorry am I repeating myself? I think this has been his most
injury-free season and we have really seen what he is capable of. I think
he is an exceptional player and the frightening thing is he will get
stronger and better.
MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT
HAS to be my ``assist'' at the end of that FA Cup-tie at Chelsea. Gary
Neville had the ball and looked back at Peter Schmeichel, so naturally I
assumed there would be a backpass to the goalkeeper. Instead, he played it
to me! I collected the ball and played it back to Peter - without really
looking. I got the fright of my life seeing Gianluca Vialli come in and
intercept my pass.
BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT
THE Champions' League exit against Monaco. We desperately wanted to do well
- we thought we were better than Monaco and I know it's easy to say now but
if we'd had our strongest XI out in both games, I think we would have
beaten them.

HAT-TRICK FOR UNITED TARGET BATISTUTA
Manchester United-target Gabriel Batistuta scored a hat-trick in
Argentina's 5-0 win over Bosnia.
The £12million-rated Fiorentina striker opened the scoring in Cordoba in
the fifth minute with a low shot to the left of 'keeper Mirsa Dedic and
made it two in the 24th minute when rising to meet a cross from Ariel
Ortega and heading powerfully home.
Batistuta then turned provider for Zanetti's third but, after Ortega had
added a fourth, he completed his hat-trick with another header from a
centre by Claudio Lopez.
Argentina are scheduled to face Chile on May 19 and South Africa on May
25 as they continue their build-up to France 98.
Talks have already taken place involving Batistuta's agent Settimio
Aloisio aimed at bringing the 29-year-old world-class goalscorer to Old
Trafford.
And United manager Alex Ferguson says in The Sun today: "There has been
a lot of speculation about players and it's true we are trying to get in
one or two more - and he is one of them."
Batistuta has scored 24 goals for Fiorentina this season, taking his
career total with the Serie A club to 150.
Fiorentina want to hang on to Batistuta, but he is keen to move on after
seven years with the Italian side.
He is, however, under investigation for alleged tax evasion and has had
50,000 (£33,000) of his assets frozen by the Argentine authorities.
