Thierry Henry To Manchester United?
The Barcelona Striker could join Manchester United this Season
Thierry Henry may return to the English Premier League, but not with former club Arsenal, but English and European Champions Manchester United.
Manchester United After Henry
United have been searching for a classy striker to reinforce their attack, and after the news that Dimitar Berbatov won't be joining the club they have set their sights on Henry.
According to reports the Frenchman could well be a Red Devil next season. Apparently Sir Alex Ferguson is very fond of the player, and he is willing to dish out a healthy sum of cash to secure his services.
In recent weeks Henry declared that he finds himself very happy at Barcelona at the moment and if one day he returns to the English Premier League he will only play for Arsenal.
If this is the case, and Ferguson fails to sign the player, he is likely to go for Jan Huntelaar of Ajax Amsterdam.
Thierry Henry At Barcelona
Although Henry's first season at the Camp Nou was triggered by injuries, he proved his worth in some key games, and is still in the club's plans for the coming season.
Barca's new coach Josep Guardiola has affirmed that he likes the player's characteristics, and that the Frenchman definitely fits into his plans.
Much is expected of Henry at the Spanish giants. The former Arsenal great, who scored 174 goals in 254 matches at the club during eight successful seasons, has yet to reach his full potential at Barcelona, but insists that this will be his year.
Barcelona's Stars: Henry, Messi, Eto'o
With the departure of Ronaldinho and Deco this season, Barcelona will be without two of their key players. However, it seems that the club have done enough to keep Henry, Eto'o and Messi in their ranks for at least another season.
Still, without Ronaldinho and Deco, who moved to AC Milan and Chelsea, respectively, Barcelona have a strong squad who have set their sights on the UEFA Champions League and La Liga.
Barcelona Versus Real Madrid
What will especially motivate Barcelona next season is the fact that Real Madrid are the current Spanish Champions. Barca's bitter rivals clinched their second successive league title in stunning fashion, and have proved that they are candidates to win a third in a row this coming season.
But Barcelona are hoping to put an end to their success, and are expected to shine now that Josep Guardiola is at the helm. The former Barcelona legend may not be experienced in his current role, but he makes up for this with his track record. If there is one player who understands the importance of the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid it is him.
