Man United News: Ronaldo plan, battle with Liverpool for left-back, striker exit confirmed
Rico Henry is wanted by Liverpool and Manchester United
NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you the latest news from Old Trafford.
 
Manchester United are ready to use Sir Alex Ferguson as their secret weapon in a bid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Real Madrid star is set to leave the Bernabeu this summer after falling out with Rafa Benitez.
Florentino Perez backed Benitez after the clasico defeat last week.
 
And according to reports in Spain United will try and use Ferguson's bond with Ronaldo to bring him back.
Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested.
Young striker James Wilson has joined Brighton on loan until the end of the season.
Wilson has featured for Van Gaal this season but wasn't named on the bench in Saturday's win over Watford.
Wilson joins promotion-chasing Brighton after injuries to Sam Baldock and Kazenga Lua Lua.
 
"We have been keen to add a striker, and James has been our number one target for some time, so we are absolutely delighted to have completed the deal," manager Chris Hughton said. 
"James is an exciting young striker, and we hope that this move will prove to be very good for all parties involved. 
"He is very highly thought of at Old Trafford and he has been in and around the first-team picture at Manchester United since Ryan Giggs gave him his debut the season before last. 
"There was a huge amount of competition from rival clubs to sign James on loan and it has been another great team effort to secure his signature. 
"I now hope he will help us maintain our excellent start to the season, and bring additional goals to the squad." 

United are keen to sign young left back Rico Henry.
Liverpool are also understood to be interested in the 18-year-old and both clubs sent scouts to watch the defender play on Tuesday night.
But Walsall manager Dean Smith said: "It's going to take a hell of a lot of money to take Rico away from this football club.
"Every player has a price don't they? We all know that. But it would take a very big offer and I'm not sure he'd want to go, at the moment, as well.
"Despite all the clubs linked, nobody has approached the football club. He wants to keep developing and playing in first-team football games."
