    <div class="mxb"> <div class="sh">Man Utd sell Rossi to Villarreal </div> </div> <font size="2"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="203" align="right"> <tbody><tr><td> <div> [​IMG] <div class="cap">Rossi spent time on loan at Newcastle and Parma last season</div> </div> </td></tr> </tbody></table> Manchester United have sold striker Giuseppe Rossi to Spanish side Villarreal for an undisclosed fee. </font>

    <font size="2">The six-year deal is subject to the 20-year-old American-born Italian passing a medical. </font></p>

    <font size="2">Rossi was loaned to Newcastle last season and then to Parma, where he scored nine goals in 19 matches. </font></p>

    <font size="2">Villarreal were looking for a new striker after allowing Diego Forlan, another ex-United player, to join Atletico Madrid for &pound;14m. </font></p>

    <font size="2">United signed Rossi as a 16-year-old from Parma and the Italian club were keen to secure his services once again after the striker helped them stay in Serie A last season during his loan spell. </font></p>

    <font size="2">They reportedly tabled a &pound;5.4m bid for the Italy Under-21 international, but failed to clinch a deal. </font></p>

    <font size="2">United boss Sir Alex Ferguson often spoke highly of Rossi, who scored 13 times in 19 starts for the reserve team in his first season at Old Trafford. </font></p>

    <font size="2">He signed a new contract last summer, which would have kept him at the club until 2010, but his failure to earn a regular first-team place brought an early end to his United career.</font></p>

    Well that really stinks. They should had moved Saha and or Smith. Rossi has already netted 2 goals this preseason for the ManU jr team.</p>

    Yea really man, damn. Why Utd why? </p>

    They should have sold Smith like you said. (I like Saha)</p>

    I guess they think they have plenty of strikers. Has he made his mind up yet on what national team is he going to play for? </p>

    Don't know.</p>

    They must be sure they can sign Tevez.</p>

    I like Saha but he is ALWAYS hurt.</p>

    I read somewhere that Tevez's agent said that the league will make a decision in couple of days and he said he was sure Utd is getting him. </p>

    So I guess that why they sold Rossi. </p>
