Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Laurent Robert's situation at Newcastle United and it has been rumoured that Old Trafford Box Sir Alex Ferguson is considering offering the Magpies' £5M for the French winger in January.
It has been rumoured that Sir Alex Ferguson will make the bid when the transfer window opens after the player claimed over the summer that he wouldn't mind speaking terms with The Red Devils.
Robert has had more than his fair share of run-ins with Magpies' boss Sir Bobby Robson, including the time when he questioned manager Bobby Robson's tactics.
