Rubbish rumour of the day: Torres on his way to Old Trafford

Understandably news is slow as it is international week but making stuff up just isn’t acceptable!

So shame on the person who cooked up the story that Fernando Torres is a potential £40m transfer target for United. Liverpool’s current problems on and off the field are the backdrop to this story but as bad as things are down on Mersey side, it is very unlikely that they would sell him to us or that he would even agree to join us.

Add to that his perenial injury problems and it is even more unlikely. That other team from Manchester were also linked with him so perhaps they can have him.

Big Money signing ?

Injury problems ?

Liverpool player?

File this one under N for ‘Not gonna happen… EVER’.
