Laurent Robert's arrival in Benfica is to signal the departure of Simao Sabrosa, with Manchester United emerging as possible suitors for the Portuguese midfielder.
Robert is in Lisbon to seal a deal with Benfica over a move from Portsmouth, where he has been playing on loan from Newcastle United.

"It will be a pleasure to play in Portugal and I come here to give 100 percent," he told A Bola.

"Benfica are a super-club and it's magnificent to be able to play in the Champions League, I am here for that.

"I came to Benfica because it was a club that were interested in me and now I am going to sign and stay here."

The Frenchman's move should see captain Simao depart but Liverpool have fresh rivals in their bid to sign the classy 26-year-old.

Sources in Lisbon have indicated that Manchester United view the player as a possible long-term replacement for Ryan Giggs, after being impressed with his work in the UEFA Champions League defeat at Old Trafford.
Simao scored with a free kick in that game, although he missed his side's 2-1 defeat of The Red Devils that ended United's European interest for another season.

Liverpool were close to signing the talented schemer in the summer but the deal collapsed at the last minute.

A Premiership switch is high on his list of priorities and it seems certain that he will be quitting Estadio da Luz in the near future, despite Benfica's progress in Europe

Nemanja Vidic has been granted a work permit and is training with his new Manchester United team-mates.


The Spartak Moscow centre back arrives for an undisclosed fee and is available for selection in Sunday's FA Cup third round tie at Burton Albion.

Although he might not be rushed into the live Sky Sports fixture, it would be an ideal opportunity to hand United fans a first glimpse of the Serbia & Montenegro international.

Ferguson wants another stopper to challenge Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown and Mikael Silvestre for a regular first team spot. Brown was outstanding at Highbury in the goalless draw with Arsenal but has been dogged by persistent injury troubles.

Silvestre can help cover at left back while up-and-coming youngster Gerard Pique has been tried in a midfield role recently.

As Ferguson strives to build a squad that can compete with Chelsea, another resilient defender was on his hit-list, even though the midfield would appear to be in greater need of an injection of fresh blood.

Vidic is unlikely to be the only new face at Old Trafford this month with left back Patrice Evra also close to agreeing a switch if terms can be agreed with Monaco.

Real Madrid's unsettled midfielder Thomas Gravesen has issued a come and get me plea to The Premiership.

The Dane, who moved from Everton last January, has become increasingly frustrated by his lack of first team action at El Bernabeu.

Gravesen was a fixture in the Real side when he first arrived in Spain but the sacking of coach Wanderley Luxemburgo and the subsequent upheaval has left the 29-year-old out in the cold.

Manchester United and former club Everton have both expressed interest in a cut-price £1 million transfer and a move may now be imminent after Gravesen revealed his frustrations.

"I am a footballer and I must be on the pitch to be happy," said Gravesen.

"But until a club contacts me directly, I do not want to respond to anything."

Sir Alex Ferguson's side are thought to be Gravesen's preferred option and the Scot will be eager to bolster his midfield department.

Injuries to Paul Scholes and Alan Smith have forced Ferguson to field a makeshift central pairing of Darren Fletcher and John O'Shea and, although the duo impressed against Arsenal in midweek, the signing of Gravesen would increase United's options.

Patrice Evra's agent is confident that the Monaco man will make a move to Manchester United.


The Old Trafford outfit are believed to be leading the chase for Evra, although Internazionale are also in the market to sign the player.

Evra is at loggerheads with the Principality outfit after failing to return to training following the Christmas break.

The talented full back has been omitted from the squad for Thursday's clash with Auxerre and it seems he has played his last game for the club.

Evra's representative Federico Pastorello met with Monaco officials on Wednesday to filter-004 the player's future and he insists Monaco are willing to let him leave.

"We spoke at length with the club and they are not opposed to Patrice leaving," said Pastorello.

"If the right offer is made, the transfer will be settled.

"Internazionale is working directly with Monaco and me. I have informed Manchester about the situation.

"Now it is up to the clubs to act.

"It is true Patrice has appreciated the way Manchester United are working, which has been very fair and professional with us.

United are reported to be willing to bid £5 million for Evra and Monaco are expected to accept the offer, as they do not want to keep an unhappy player at Stade Louis II.

Monaco star Evra to undergo medical at Old Trafford

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Manchester United have 'done a deal' to sign Monaco full-back Patrice Evra.

Red Devils chief executive David Gill was in France last night to conclude negotiations and the 24-year-old France international is due in Manchester on Monday for a medical.


United have beaten off competition from Inter Milan to sign the player for an undisclosed sum although the fee is believed to be around £5million mark.

'The deal is done, he will come in Monday,' said Ferguson. 'We have been looking at him for some time since Gabriel Heinze was injured in September.'

Evra could make his United debut in Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Blackburn at Ewood Park.

Ferguson also confirmed that his other transfer window signing Nemanja Vidic was doing endurance training at the moment and would not be considered for Sunday's FA Cup third round tie at Burton.
