Manchester United: Baca - we dont want Rio

Barcelona have told skysports.com that claims linking them with a bid for Rio Ferdinand in the summer are simply not true.

The Catalan giants have been linked with a big money swoop for the classy England stopper, as coach Frank Rijkaard looks to improve his defensive ranks.

United chief Sir Alex Ferguson would be loath to lose his lynchpin but in any case, Barca have now issued a statement to deny that they are interested.

i dunno. Rio aint going to leave, am sure he wont.

Barca though, as much as they can attack they do need defenders. and i think they will have plenty money to be able to buy a defender

He will sign a new deal, why wouldn't he? Man United have treated him good and there will be more trophies comming there way.

yip. Man utd stood by him with that drugs scandal and he is a first team player, if he wanted to go i would imagine he would hand in a request but its a new era at man utd and it looks like Rio wants to be part of that.

the talks about his deal have been going on for a while, is that down to Glazer taking control?
