MANCHESTER City have offered Zlatan Ibrahimovic a four-year deal worth a staggering £96MILLION - or roughly £500,000 a week. Equal to RM 3.5million. Crazy mannnn.. The mega-deal would make the Barcelona striker the highest-paid footballer in the world, earning £24m a year. That dwarfs the salaries of top stars such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka. City representatives made their mouth-watering offer direct to Ibrahimovic's manager Mino Raiola to show how much they want to capture the Swedish international. The huge deal dwarfs the 11m euros a year the striker picks up at the Nou Camp. Ibrahimovic is unsettled at Barca despite joining only last summer in a 50m euro deal that also took Samuel Eto'o from Barcelona to the San Siro. The enigmatic forward fell out with Barca coach Pep Guardiola in February and the pair barely speak now. Ibrahimovic is upset he has not been a regular starter and he has clashed with his coach over Barca's style of play. ...

ALEX FERGUSON will not loan out Javier Hernandez in his debut season at Manchester United. The Red Devils' boss has chosen the Mexico striker and Federico Macheda as the players to rival Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen, once fit. Danny Welbeck and Mame Biram Diouf will go on loan to get regular games and gain further experience. Hernandez, 22, made an instant impact in his first match for the club after arriving from Chivas Guadalajara, scoring in the 5-2 victory against the MLS All-Stars. Macheda bagged two goals and Fergie believes both players have bright futures in the game. <a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com">affiliate program</a> He said: "I need to keep Macheda and Hernandez. There was a lot of purpose in the way they played their football. "To play for a club like this is not just about talent. You need something else and they've got something else. I am pleased with that." Ferguso...

JAVIER HERNANDEZ enjoyed a dream debut for Manchester United with a goal to cap victory against the MLS All Stars. Hernandez was introduced in the second half to the biggest cheer of the night from a crowd of 70,728. There are 950,000 people of Mexican descent in Houston and there were plenty here to welcome Chicharito — known as the Little Pea. And what a moment it was for him the 84th minute when he latched onto a through ball from Paul Scholes. The ball bounced once and as keeper Donovan Ricketts rushed out, the former Chivas striker coolly lifted the ball over him. The whole United team ran towards him in celebration as boss Alex Ferguson rose from the bench to applaud. It was United's final goal of the match as a forgotten young striker had given them the perfect start to the night. Federico Macheda hit the headlines 15 months ago with a dramatic injury time winner at home to Aston Villa. It proved pivotal in Manchester United claiming a hat-trick of Premier L...

ALEX FERGUSON is backing Manchester United's whizkids - rather than spend millions in the transfer market. Boss Fergie insists the future of the club is in their own backyard with youngsters like Federico Macheda, Tom Cleverley, Javier Hernandez, Chris Smalling and the Da Silva twins, Rafael and Fabio. The new Old Trafford brat pack are all waiting to burst on to the Premier League stage this season. Manchester City are edging closer to spending £100million this summer. But Ferguson insisted: "I've got probably 12 players all under 21, which is a fantastic average age, and the future should be pretty secure with them. "Over the years we've bought players for quite high amounts like Dimitar Berbatov, Rio Ferdinand, Juan Sebastian Veron and Wayne Rooney. But we try to equate how we're going to get the proper value before we do it. "When I see some of the values now, and you're talking about players at £40m or £30m-odd, we have to asse...

ALEX FERGUSON has launched an astonishing defence of the Glazer family. He claims that Manchester United's unpopular owners "have done their job well." Fans campaigned to oust US tycoon Malcolm Glazer and his sons - Avram, Bryan and Joel - who have saddled United with a £717million debt since their takeover in 2005. But Old Trafford boss Fergie said: "The debt has come through the club being bought out by an owner. "You know very well that no matter which business is bought nowadays, it's usually bought with debt. "Because it's a football club it seems to attract a different type of negative reporting particularly from some of our fans. "When Manchester United Football Club went plc, it was inevitible somebody was going to buy it. "It's unfair that because a particular family like the Glazers bought it, they should come under criticism when anybody could have bought it. "I have to say they've done their job well. The...

MANCHESTER UNITED are still worth more than any other club in the world. The Red Devils have assets amounting to a staggering £1.24BILLION. But the Glazer family, who own the club, do have debts of around £700m secured against it. The next biggest sporting franchise is American Football outfit Dallas Cowboys - weighing in at £1.11bn, according to rich-list compilers Forbes magazine. Tiger Woods took the individual honours for the ninth straight year, raking in £70m. But that was a drop of around 10 per cent as sponsors spurned golf's No 1 following lurid tales of his sex life. David Beckham scooped £27m. Source: The Sun
