ManUtd.com readers have picked out Spain striker David
Villa as the Euro 2008 player they'd most like to sign for United
this summer.
Our shortlist comprised 12 players who have either
been linked with United in the press or recommended by fans on
our message board.
Valencia star Villa received 25 per cent of the votes in the poll,
no doubt in recognition of his impressive form in helping Spain to
win Euro 2008. He finished top scorer in the tournament with four
goals and is now reportedly on the wanted list at several
clubs.
Artcaller7 posted on our message board: "David Villa
is perfect for United. He'd make a great combination with Rooney
and link perfectly with Carrick."
David Silva, a club and country colleague of
Villa's, was the runner-up in our poll with 16 per cent. He's also
said to be attracting attention after some fine performances in
Austria and Switzerland, with Arsenal and Liverpool among the clubs
being linked with a move for the midfielder.
Ajwarne posted: "I think David Silva looks great, he's
always running and he shows real desire. Against Italy in Euro 2008
he demonstrated he has a decent strike on him too."
Karim Benzema was in third place, despite France's
failure to reach the knock-out rounds of Euro 2008. He has
been consistently linked with United while leading Lyon's attack in
their domination of the French league.
Dizzly posted: "Benzema's got pace, he's a finisher, and
his youthful exuberance and charisma will go well with our
squad."
Fourth place was shared by Germany's Bastian
Schweinsteiger and
Holland's Wesley Sneijder. Both midfielders
impressed at Euro 2008, scoring two goals apiece, and many fans
feel they would make good additions to United's squad.
RyeGuy posted: "Schweinsteiger would be an amazing
addition to the team. With a buying price of £10million, it would
be a great deal. He's young, experienced, and
extraordinarily talented."
Jamie G posted: "Sneijder has got pace stamina, you only
have to see the amount of ground he covers to notice how quick he
can get up and down the pitch. Man United play on the counter
attack and Sneijder could more then cope with the pace in our
team."
Hmm Both silva and
villa seems better chances of getting them if we splash
big..benzema jus extended his contract sneijder wont leave for
sure
