No Adriano Interest From United – Moratti
(Goal.com) - Inter patron Massimo Moratti has denied reports in the English press that Manchester United are keen on signing striker Adriano.
The Red Devils were said to be preparing a £42 million bid for the Brazilian after losing Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid two weeks ago.
But Moratti, whose club have tied up the signing of Juventus forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, told Inter’s official site: "There is no deal with or request from Manchester United."
Adriano himself has made it clear he intends to remain at the San Siro this season.

I think this would be an ideal move for both parties. Obviously, Inter have issues about Adriano, hence the reason for signing 2 world class strikers this week. Adriano would get a chance to start regularly at United. United are in the Champions League so that would be an attraction. United would get a world class striker to replace Ruud. With Adriano next to Rooney, C. Ronaldo, and Carrick feeding them, United could challenge Chelsea.

Screw United. Liverpool need to sign a striker. They should get on the phone with Inter and Adriano.

I think Adriano would take alot of weight off of C.Ronaldo's shoulders if he made a move to Man U. Although, moving from Inter to Manchester United would kind of be degrading for a samba star like Adriano. But if he did make a move to Man U, it would really improve them up front but it would take alot of work to rebulid them. I would stay in Italia.

YoYo, if Liverpool hadn't wasted all that money on Crouch, they could afford to buy a legitimate striker. 'Soytupapa' There aren't a lot of options in Italy right now. Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio are all in financial troubles. Milan already has plenty of strikers. If Adriano wants to start regularly and compete in the Champions League, he'll have to go to Spain or England.

I didn't really believe Bellamy could make that big of a difference at Liverpool. But he's played well so far, with a goal in the champions league game and an assist to Crouch for the game winner in the Community Shield match. Gonzales has also looked good up top. So maybe you're right... But come on! who wouldn't want a beast like Adriano on their side? He should go to Tottenham or Bolton or somewhere in the premiership. He should be starting somewhere where he can make a big difference, not just be one of the guys on the bench like Inter or Real or Manchester.

United would be a great move for adriano and a great signing for united. Their is no way he would be on the bench there, with adriano and rooney up top could be a great combination. Therefore, saha would come off the bench when needed. It would make united much deeper than they are.

many south americans tend to fail miserably when they try to play in the English league. Hernan Crespo is a perfect example. He explained it best when he said that it was the culture shock that off-set his play. He explained that England was a passionless country to live in, save the soccer stadiums. It was the every day life in the rain filled country that brought him to his knees with depression and anxiety. He is accustomed to a flambouyant, passion filled every day life like he had in Argentina and Italy. Hence his move back to Italy. This is also why most brazilians and south americans play in the Italian and spanish leagues, save a few.

Adriano should think this through and sign with Manchester United!!! he is my favorite player, i have liked him for over about 4 seasons...the best thing for Adriano to do is to go to manchester, hes better off with C.Ronaldo and Rooney...ADRIANO SHOULD SIGN WITH MAN U!!!

What u mans on about? Adriano to United? Adriano to Liverpool? I mean a move to United could be a possibility in the future, but a move to Liverpool? Why would he want to do that for?
They probably wouldnt beable to pay hes wages! Also, there is no way he would leave a class team like INTER MILAN for Liverpool!
Stick with Crouch and Bellamy! LoL. The undercover stars of the world!
