United to forget about Spurs striker and move for Gunners legend

Manchester United are ready to give up on trying to sign Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov and instead try and sign Barcelona ace Thierry Henry. The former Gunners frontman has been linked with a move back to the Premier League all summer after an average start to his career in La Liga.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has been priced out of a move for Berbatov after Spurs demanded £30 million for the Bulgarian. He has now turned his attentions to Henry, who was quoted as saying last year that he would never join another Premier League club, unless Arsenal came in for him.

I personally would be surprised to see the Frenchman arrive at Old Trafford this summer, although stanger things have happened. Ferguson has admitted he wants to sign a new striker before the big kick-off next week and Henry has been mentioned along with Benzema, Huntelaar and David Villa.
