Subject: Leicester Preview (TTALK)
Preview V Leicester
Alex Ferguson has no major injury problems as United kick-off their seventh
Premiership campaign with Roy Keane ready to pick up where he left off last
September.
The Republic of Ireland star has not played a league match since rupturing
cruciate knee ligaments at Leeds on September 27 but will captain the side
when Leicester City visit Old Trafford.
United have a score to settle with Martin O'Neill's side after the Foxes
pulled off a surprise 1-0 victory last season, opening the door for Arsenal
to steal the championship.
Fergie's minor worry concerns Nicky Butt who has badly blistered feet after
Wednesday's 2-0 win over Lodz but he is expected to line-up alongside the
other ten who started against the Poles in an unchanged side.
Jesper Blomqvist is still out with a heel injury but is targeting his return
for the next home Premiership clash with new-boys Charlton.
Leicester are expected to include new £2 million signing Frank Sinclair in
defence and employ similar frustrating tactics to last January by defending
deep in a line of five across the back.
United: (probable) Schmeichel, G.Neville, Irwin, Johnsen, Stam, Keane, Butt,
Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Cole.
Subs: (from) Culkin, May, Berg, P.Neville, Curtis, Cruyff, Sheringham,
Solskjaer.

Subject: Ronaldo's Red Future (MEN)
COME IN NUMBER 9
Ronaldo hint for Reds
By STUART MATHIESON
BRAZILIAN superstar Ronaldo has put Manchester United on red alert.
The world's greatest footballer has pencilled in Old Trafford as a future
footballing home where he can
fulfil his desire to play in the Premiership.
The Inter Milan forward won't end the Reds' current search for a fourth
striker, following the collapse of deals for Dutchman Patrick Kluivert and a
failed second £10m bid for Aston Villa's Dwight Yorke this week.
Nevertheless, his revelation gives United a head start in any potential
future move for the 21-year-old.
``One day I want to play in England, either for Manchester United or
Arsenal,'' Ronaldo has declared from Rio de Janeiro.
``I follow the English championship and know everything about it. It has
improved a lot.''
United would undoubtedly have to take a new line on their wage scale if they
have any hope of
competing at some stage for Ronaldo's signature.
Manager Alex Ferguson was approached by the player's agent two years ago and
asked the Reds' boss if he'd be interested in the player when he was at
Barcelona.
Writing in his diary `A Will To Win' Fergie said he asked about the money
involved and replied: ``You should go and see the Chairman and frighten the
life out of him.''
Ronaldo's agent was then talking a £20m fee and wages of well over £2m a
year. Despite a low key World Cup in France for Brazil, the player would
command a fee and salary well in excess of that now.

SWEDE SUCCESS BECKONS FOR BLOMQVIST
By David Anderson, PA Sport
Jesper Blomqvist is certain the bad times are over after joining Manchester
United.
The Swedish international winger believes he closed an unhappy chapter in
his life when he bade 'arrivederci' to Italy and moved to Old Trafford in a
£4.4million move from Parma.
Blomqvist experienced a rollercoaster of a ride during his 21-month spell in
Serie A and unfortunately there were more downs than ups.
It had all looked so different when he joined AC Milan from IFK Gothenburg
in the autumn of 1996 after winning four consecutive titles with the Swedish
side.
Blomqvist was one of the rising stars of Scandinavian football after he had
helped Sweden reach the semi-finals of the 1994 World Cup, but his dream
move to the San Siro soon turned sour.
Milan were a club in transition as they struggled to match their past
glories and one of the chief casualties of this instability was Blomqvist.
Last October the 24-year-old found an escape route to Parma, whom he joined
on loan before signing on a permanent basis.
Everything went well the next few months and he was back playing regular
first-team football.
But then his fortunes dipped again when Carlo Ancellotti took over as coach
and made it clear to Blomqvist that he did not figure in his plans.
He knew it was time to go and that paved the way for United boss Alex
Ferguson to secure his signature at the fifth attempt.
Now Blomqvist is certain that only good times lie ahead.
Ferguson has assured him that he does figure in his first-team plans and now
he is looking forward to playing for the biggest club in the world.
"It was very hard at Milan," he said.
"The main problem was that the team had not been playing well and that made
it difficult for new players to settle in.
"Usually a team has two or three new players and the others who are already
there help them.
"But unfortunately at Milan there were a lot of new players coming in and we
all had to settle at once.
"I found that I had to adapt to the country and system of players before I
could perform.
"I then went to Parma and I liked it there and maybe if they had not changed
the trainer, I would have stayed.
"But they changed the trainer and the system of playing and that made the
difference.
"At Manchester United the difference with Milan is that they have not
changed that many players over the last few years and that is a big help.
"In Italy there were bigger differences with Sweden, but here I speak OK
English, while the football, climate and so on mean it should be easier to
adjust.
"It is always easier for a winger to adapt to a team when they attack as
much as United do. I hope England will suit me more."
Blomqvist, who has won 26 caps for Sweden, does feel there were some
positive points to come out of his time in Italy.
He feels the experience has been invaluable to his football education.
"I'm a bit more mature now and I have learnt a lot like tactics," he said.
"At Parma all the players did a lot of work on defending and I have added
that to my game."
Blomqvist knows all about United's desire to win the Champions' League and
he feels the club have been edging closer every year.
"For the last six or seven years Manchester United have been the team in the
Premier League, but they have found it harder in Europe," he said.
"But the players are gaining more and more experience each year and in
European football that is very important and so I hope we can do even better
this time."
And so the man who helped end United's Champions' League adventure four
years ago with Gothenburg is now ready to play his part in finally realising
that dream.
