With the upcoming retirement of Edwin Van der Sar, Manchester United is always looking for a successor at Old Trafford. In the past there has been much talk of Gigi Buffon, but the physical problems of the Juventus number one are a cause of some concern for Sir Alex Ferguson.

For this reason, the Scottish manager has cast his eyes on Inter’s Julio Cesar, who is also injured at the moment but considered more reliable than the Italian.

The deal also could be less difficult than expected with Inter who, now having Viviano also could choose to start negotiations for the goalkeeper.
