Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping to secure one of his longest term transfer targets with the signing of Daniele De Rossi from Roma in the summer. Fergie has been chasing the 27 year old Italian midfielder since prior to the 2006 World Cup which De Rossi went on to play in the final and win despite being suspended for four matches for a horrific elbow on Brian McBride. With the United midfield being regularly over run Fergie is in need of some extra bite and he'd certainly get this from the combative De Rossi. The World Cup winner who has been capped 63 times for his
country since making his debut aged 21 has spoken of his admiration for Manchester United and Ferguson in the past and is keen on move to the Premier League. Previous United bids in 2006 and again in 2009 were rejected by the club but it is now thought they are ready to sell with a fee in the region of £18m likely to secure his services.
