Schalke No. 10 Lewis Holtby has several offers from England and Spain, , with the 22-year-old s current contract at the Veltins-Arena set to expire at the end of the season.

Don t expect the Red Devils to make an official move for Forren in January, but ruling out a summer move for the Norwegian would be a bit premature.
Rio Ferdinand isn t getting any younger, and Sir Alex Ferguson might just look for his replacement sooner rather than later.
