Just heard on the BBC WS, that Lens officials have not yet responded to

insisted that this is their final bid.

BELGRADE (May 20, 1998 - 10:26 EDT) - English Premiership runner-up
Manchester United has made an approach for Yugoslavia's World Cup goalkeeper
Ivica Kralj, the Sport daily said Wednesday.
Man United manager Alex Fergusson was expected to run the rule over the
Partizan Belgrade keeper when Yugoslavia plays Nigeria in a World Cup
warm-up match on May 29.

Man. United's Solskjaer in demand
LONDON (May 20, 1998 - 10:56 EDT) - Manchester United are determined to hold
on to Norwegian striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who is wanted by either
Valencia or Atletico Madrid of Spain.
Solskjaer, training with Norway's World Cup squad in Oslo, signed a seven-
year contract only last year which ties him to United until 2004, and he
says he is happy to stay at Old Trafford.
Chairman Martin Edwards says United want to keep him and that they have not
heard from either Spanish side.
"We see his future at Old Trafford," Edwards said.
"We've not had any contact from the two clubs mentioned and I can only
assume that it is speculation."
The 25-year-old took the Premiership by storm in his first season in England
in 1996-97 when he scored 19 goals to finish as United's top marksman.
Injuries dogged him for part of the campaign which has just finished, but he
still managed to score nine times.
Solskjaer cost United 1.5 million pounds when they bought him from Norwegian
side Molde in July 1996.

Subject: Teamtalk Foe bid fails ? + Italian striker snub
Solskjaer swap link + Yorke linked again + Eric: farewell fears
WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1998
Foe bid fails ? ««
United appear to have failed in their last-gasp £5 million bid to sign
Cameroon midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe from Lens, after the French champions
kept the club waiting on a final deadline decision.
United were hoping to tie a deal up quickly after Alex Ferguson watched him
in action at the end of the season, but chairman Martin Edwards is not
confident the deal will come off.
Edwards said: "We will not be improving our offer. I doubt now that we will
be able to proceed with Foe's transfer."
Italian striker snub ? ««
French media reports on Wednesday claim Paris Saint Germain striker Marco
Simone had been in contact with United before signing a one year extension
to his contract in the French capital.
The 29-year-old former AC Milan striker had spoken to representatives of
the Reds, Parma and his old club but opted to remain in Paris where he
enjoys the lifestyle.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Batistuta was in action for Argentina again overnight
where he scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Chile.
The striker, however, travelled to the game in a private jet owned by
Parmalat - the sponsors of Serie A's Parma - increasing speculation that
the Fiorentina ace is on his way there.
Solskjaer swap link ««
The rest of the British media has caught up with TEAMtalk over the Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer Spanish interest stories, now suggesting United would be
willing to do a swap deal with Valencia for Ariel Ortega.
The Argentinian is known to be at odds with his coach in Spain but United
club officials have denied there has been any contact between the clubs, or
Atletico Madrid, over Solskjaer.
Alex Ferguson, on holiday this week, wants to tie up another major signing
before he jets off to the World Cup finals although it is unlikely Ortega's
situation can be resolved before then.
Solskjaer does not want to leave Old Trafford and club officials have
strenuously denied the speculation which has emerged.
Yorke linked again ««
Dwight Yorke has again been linked to United in the morning newspapers -
but the £12 million price-tag quoted remains unrealistic.
The Trinidad and Tobago internatuional was the subject of an enquiry from
Old Trafford last summer, sparking widespread speculation.
Despite a proven track record in this country, fans will prefer the club to
go all out for Gabriel Batistuta rather than settle for Yorke.
Cantona farewell fears ««
Fears are growing about Eric Cantona's farewell appearance at Old Trafford.
The Frenchman was due back in February when he planned to bring a European
All-star side to play in a testimonial game to raise cash for the Munich
disaster fund.
Eric: farewell fears
The showpiece clash was cancelled back in February because of United's
involvement in the FA Cup fifth round replay and then further complicated
by Cantona's filming trip to Mexico.
The club are still keen to stage the match and coincide it with Eric's
return but the prospects took another turn for the worse when United were
booked in for the Charity Shield clash against Arsenal in August.

Give Ryan our congratulations and hope he can go from strength to strength. As an ex Durbanite myself its great to hear about another Durbanite being successful with his trials at OT. Any other South African included.:)
My son will enjoy hearing about other South Africans getting a trial at OT, he is only 11 right now but a huge Manchester United fan and he would love to go for trials when he's older, can't afford to send him though as his Mom won't let me send her son to England alone ;) He plays his heart out every week for his Under 12 Premier side. Can play left/right back, sweeper and midfield. Kicks equally well with both feet.:)
