VfL Wolfsburg have set Manchester United defender John O'Shea in their sights, according to German sources.

O'Shea has a contract at United until 2012, but the Old Trafford outfit have reportedly offered him a new £80,000-a-week, four-year deal.

Apart form a brief sell at AFC Bournemouth in 1999/2000 the Republic of Ireland international has been at United his entire career. He is a top-class defender, and Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson has benefitted from his versatility, using him as a centre-back or a full-back.

The 29-year-old has made 12 appearances this season.

He is valued at €5-7.5 million.

I really hope Sir Alex Ferguson dosen't sell J.O'Shea to Wolfsburg cuss for me O'Shea is a big symbol of M.United & an example for all new defenders that want to be good as him take 4 example Rafael this kid has just won his place in the squad already & everytime he plays he gets much better.Why? Well lets just say thanks 2 O'Shea cuss he's the one who teaches him how to be much better & gives him tips to.Now I'm sure in the future Rafael will become the next J.O'shea & will also be one of the best defenders in the world.& 4 Wolfsburg Stay Out Of M.United's players & find someone else insted.Hes a Red Devil 4Life...M.U.#1

Fergie might have to do some horse trading to bring in some new blood in January. We need a defensive midfielder to put a foot in in front of the back four. Carrick does not do this. We will not win the champions keague but a good signing or two could win us the premiership. We could use Diarra at the least. If Rafeal is going to learn how to be a good defender it will be from Gary Neville not John OShea.l

Laters folks, i'm off! I should be playing ahead of Rio, had enough of this. I'm the best defender at United!

Why is everyone slating O'shea? He's been at OT for a decade and not once has he complained or demanded more. He's always given his all and is happy with his utility role. He may have lost some pace from when he was younger (granted he was never the fastest) but he still does a good job on either flank and when Ferdinand is injured idk why we don't play him at CB he's much better there and is quite fast for a CB.
