Fergie's fight for Super Men
Manchester United and Liverpool are set to fight it out for £6.5million-rated Monaco strike star Jeremy Menez. SunSport can reveal that both Premier League giants have sent scouts to watch the gifted Frenchman.
Menez, 20, has notched three goals in nine appearances for Monaco this season. And Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez and his United counterpart Alex Ferguson are both keen on landing the hitman.
Menez is a France Under-21 international and has already been tipped for greatness, with some pundits comparing his play-making skills with those of French legend Zinedine Zidane.

Elsewhere, The Times report on an interview Cristiano Ronaldo gave Austrian newspaper Heute. The Portuguese winger said: “Chelsea without Mourinho, that’s a completely different team. You can never write Chelsea off, but I have a feeling that this will not be a good season for them.”
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, meanwhile, has had his own words about the Reds' no.7. Drogba is quoted in The Sun as saying Ronaldo won't repeat his goal-scoring feats of 2006/07. "I do not believe he has the rhythm to follow up last season's achievements. He is not a machine."
The Daily Mail claim United midfielder Anderson's stellar performance against Wigan came after senior players of the squad warned the Brazilian of the perils of partying. The paper says the 19-year-old was told by team-mates his future at the club could be in jeopardy if he failed to "concentrate on his career".
