Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson could stun bitter rivals Liverpool by making Pako Ayesteran his new assistant manager.

The Telegraph says the former Liverpool coach, now working at Benfica, is in line to succeed Carlos Queiroz once his deal to become Portugal's new coach is closed.

Ferguson is keen to recruit an assistant manager with an established network of continental contacts.

, made my day that . I doubt pako would go there to be honest . Pako knows that rafa would nto be happy and also liverpool fans would not like it . Secondly i don't think pako would like to work with a manager like fergie if he could not work with rafa

The Manhattan Project wrote:Pako would be a double agent.

He'd be Fergie's friend, but would secretly give Rafa some tips about the Manure players:

- Giggs is actually a shaved gorilla.
- Anderson is one of those "Predator" aliens.
- Nani is Ronaldo's live-in lover.
- Gary Neville is his own father.


...and so forth.

and how would that help us in a match against them?

Villa, 26, was one of the stars of Euro 2008, scoring four times as Spain won their first major trophy in 44 years.

"We have Torres, Voronin, Kuyt, Babel and Steven Gerrard, who can play as a second striker," Benitez said. "But we will try to bring in another option.

"Villa we know all about. He is on our list. But maybe it will be difficult."

Fernando Torres scored 33 goals in a spectacular first season at Anfield, but the other strikers only managed a combined total of 17 goals to undermine any hopes of launching a sustained Premier League title challenge.

Villa scored 18 league goals for Valencia last season and was the top scorer at Euro 2008, notably scoring a hat-trick against Russia in a Group D match.

And he also proved he could form an effective partnership with Torres, despite pre- tournament concerns that Spanish coach Luis Aragones would be forced to leave one out in order to select a balanced team.

If its a choice between Keane and Villa, I would take Villa every time even if he is not "prem proven".

the quotes are from an interview that he did for LFC Now. If you watch the interview, you do not come away thinking there is a chance we are going to get Villa.

Oh well, cheers Joe

Why are other fans so proud of themselves they think they can get anyplayer no matter how much of a pipe dream it seems? every season is always the f@ckin same, we might aswell
ban rumours from the site all it does is ultimately end in people getting on a downer.

True Barry mate can't argue that point

Why is this taking so long. 15mil and Finnan is fair enough for both sides yet nothing happens still. I think Kicks was right when he tried to fire Parry as this is evidence he is when it comes to transfers as he never bothers to do anything quickly.

I dislike Parry too, but what do you want him to do, hold a gun to O'neill's head until he lets Barry leave?  That stubborn just doesn't want to sell him for a sane amount of money.
