http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/2932718.stm Here's what Sporting Lisbon had to say: http://www.sporting.pt/noticiasfutebol_futacordomanutd_230503_8426.asp I would think that this would benefit Man U more than SCP, since I doubt SCP could be better able to bring Becks or Van Nisterooy over to their squad. The first article mentioned the possibility of the Rags bringing over Ricardo Quaresma as their new forward. Can you say "feeder club"? Yeah, this may mean that the big Portuguese may become "feeder clubs" to other clubs. Can a Benfica-Liverpool or F.C. Porto-Arsenal link-up be far away now?
