Transfer rumours: February

The transfer window may be closed for several months – but that hasn't stopped some of the world’s best players being touted with a move to Old Trafford as the press ponder who Sir Alex Ferguson might target in the summer.

With both Gary Neville and Edwin van der Sar announcing their separate retirements in recent weeks, speculation has mounted over who might fill the void with Pepe Reina, Manuel Neuer and Taye Taiwo among those mentioned.

Manchester United has a policy of not commenting on transfer speculation.
