British tabloid The Daily Star claims that Manchester United is weighing up a bid for Barcelona centre forward and French international Thierry Henry (30).Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has been forced to look at other strikers after being blocked so far in his attempts to sign Tottenham forward Dimitar Berbatov and Henry is one of those on top of his list.
Much will depend on whether Ferguson wants a player to make an immediate impact, or a signing to build for the future. In Henry, Ferguson knows he would be getting a player already adept at the demands of Premier League and Champions League football.
Ferguson believes that the Barcelona forward could do a similar job to Berbatov, assisting Wayne Rooney up front. There are few players in Europe with the qualities to fulfil the role, which has led Ferguson to check out Henry’s situation at Barcelona.
Though new Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has indicated that he wants Henry to stay, the fact that Samuel Eto’o is still at the club means the Frenchman could be available. The Champions League winners could offer Barcelona 20 million euro° for the striker.
