Gudjohnsen to Man United?

After Manchester United's interest in Eidur Gudjohnsen of Barcelona seemed to be of no use after the player's father said that he had had no talks with them, Gudjohnsen himself has spoken out that he would like to join Man United.

Gudjohnsen said that, in Barcelona, with all the other big names like Eto'o, Messi and Ronaldinho, he was often left on the bench, and therefore wanted to leave to a club which needed some strikers and would play in the UEFA Champions League, and that Manchester United would be the perfect fit.

Barcelona had bought Gudjohnsen from Chelsea for 8-million-dollars last season. It is estimated that United will exceed that amount by 1 or 2 million dollars.

Gudjohnsen would be a useful addition for the Old Trafford outfit, who are presently looking for a striker. With Sir Alex Ferguson ready to spend lots of money in this transfer period, Gudjohnsen is only one of many rumoured to be joining Man U. The list also includes fellow Barcelona teammate Samuel Eto'o, Dimitar Berbatov and Alberto Gilardino.
