Agreed , doubt he will go to United though

You might need to qualify for the CL first.

Which is possible considering the way rrsults are going at Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs

Yes, especially as United are up there even with their injury crisis. Get some injuries cleared up next month, make a couple of quality signings in jan and who knows.

This is a strange season!!

I tend to agree, some of the moves off the ball and passing is a joy to watch.

Dont think he will go to City. Likely to go to a big club.

And United can't lure them like they used to. You also have to pay top dollar now.

Agreed, take Chelsea out of the occasion. Its only about how many points they win the league by. The rest is completely open.

Apart from having, imho the best squad, they seem so much better organised and just seem to work harder.

Eidur Gudjohnsen is back at Bolton - soon to be joined by another superstar of the past. Well, Emile Heskey was a superstar at Leicester. What a strike force; Premiership here we come.

Manchester United have confirmed they are set to continue their spending spree after part-owner Edward Glazer put three million shares up for sale.

In a sale prospectus, the club say they "anticipate a higher level of net player capital expenditure".

Edward Glazer, son of former United owner Malcolm, was handed an equal share along with his five siblings when their father died in May 2014.

The sale of the shares could be concluded by the end of the week.

After a 2013-14 season in which United failed to qualify for the Champions League, new manager Louis van Gaal spent £150m on new players in the summer including a British record £59.7m to bring Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid.

On Friday, the Dutchman reacted angrily to reports he will once again spend heavily, describing them as "disgusting" and "disrespectful".

However, the prospectus says United expect money will be spent and hints at contract extensions for existing players, saying cash may go "to retain talent and enhance the calibre of our team in the near term".

The Glazer family retained a 90% share in United when 10% was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in August 2012.

BBC Sport understands that the three million shares up for sale amount to around 2% of the company and represent around 15% of Edward Glazer's personal holding.

The family has previously sold some of their shares, and in July announced they would be disposing of eight million more to raise about £88.7m.

Following the sale, the Glazer family will own about 80% of shares in the Premier League club, although they will retain close to 95% of the voting rights.

Edward Glazer, who serves as co-chairman of NFL franchise Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is co-president of the Glazer Family Foundation, will use the funds, expected to be around £28.7m, for personal estate planning.

The prospectus also warns investors that they may not receive dividends on the shares and that anti-takeover measures taken by the club mean it may not be sold to potential new owners even if a transaction would be beneficial to shareholders.

It also warns that share price may go down if the team underperforms and fails to qualify for Europe again.

A statement from the Old Trafford club read: "Manchester United plc today announced the offering of 3,000,000 of its Class A Ordinary Shares by the Edward S. Glazer Irrevocable Exempt Trust (the 'Selling Shareholder').

"The underwriter will have an option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares from the Selling Shareholder.

"Manchester United will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any Class A Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholder.

"The offering is expected to close on 12 December 2014, subject to customary closing conditions."

You'll notice the use of the word "net".

So I'm guessing Van Gaal may be offloading some of the players he doesn't like.

Falcao better watch his back then!
