The Manchester Evening News claim that Sven Goran Eriksson will turn to Mikael Silvestre if he doesn't manage to sign Juventus' Georgio Chiellini. While Silvestre is believed to be available for sale, his situation may change if Gabriel Heinze does eventually move to Liverpool. With Alan Smith also linked with a trip across Manchester, will United really sell two players to City?</div></font></p> <font size="2">http://www.carling.com/football/transfers/1786.html</font></p> <font size="2"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Newcastle have made a surprise £6m bid for Manchester United striker Alan Smith.

I don't think it would hurt Man Utd to lose Silvestre. </p> As for Smith, only a couple of days ago seemed like no one wanted him, or no one was inquiring about him. Looks like Man City wants all the Utd players haha. </p>
