GUDNI Bergsson for Manchester United!
That was the suggestion from one Icelandic journalist when he heard Sir Alex Ferguson wanted Laurent Blanc as replacement for Jaap Stam.
"If Ferguson is looking at 35-year-olds, why not go for a 36-year-old who is right on his doorstep and in such fantastic form?" the Reykjavik reporter asked.
It's not such a daft idea, as it happens. If Blanc can perform any better than the Wanderers' captain, then United won't miss Stam at all.
