At least two CSKA Moscow stars will be auditioning in front of
Sir Alex Ferguson for future
moves to Manchester United
tonight.
Ferguson has long been following CSKA goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev,
having had brother Martin watch him numerous times this year.
Akinfeev expects to leave CSKA in the next 12 months and is already
taking English lessons.
Also on United's radar is winger Milos Krasic, who has declared
in the past week that he plans to leave CSKA at the end of the
season - if not sooner in January.
Asked about Akinfeev, Ferguson said: "I can't deal with rumour
because we have two very good young goalkeepers at the club at the
moment in (Tomasz) Kuszczak and Foster and the future lies with
them.
"When Edwin van der Sar
finally decides to retire I'm quite confident these players can
take over."
