Liverpool
Liverpool Liverpool have paid an undisclosed fee for Luton youngster Dave Moli. Fourteen-year-old forward Moli had been part of the Hatters' under-15 side but will now move with his family to Merseyside, where he will continue his schooling and train at the Reds' academy. Luton's youth development officer Gregg Broughton said: "We never like to lose talented players, but it is important that we do not stand in the way of young players' development." Liverpool have intensified their search for young players following a restructuring of the reserve and academy set-up, and manager Rafael Benitez is impressed by the changes that have been made. The Spaniard said: "It is much better now. The players can see the difference and I am sure it will be easier for them to progress. It is always important to develop your own players. Local players have passion and desire and I think that is the key if you want to be consistent and stay at the top - you have to produce your own players. When you make changes it can take time, but we all have the same plan, everybody is following it and we try to do the same things here at Melwood (the first-team training complex) and at the academy."

Manchester City Gennaro Gattuso's agent has played down talk linking the AC Milan midfielder with a move to Manchester City. "There is no truth in the Manchester City link," said Andrea D'Amico. "I have had no contact with Manchester City at this moment. Gennaro is coming back from injury and he is okay at Milan."
Manchester United
Manchester United Nemanja Vidic is in line to return to the Manchester United defence for Saturday's Barclays Premier League showdown with Everton. The centre-half has started just seven matches for United this term, and has been sidelined for the past three weeks with a calf injury. But manager Sir Alex Ferguson discussed Vidic's fitness with Serbia coach Raddy Antic on Tuesday night and the 28-year-old was given the green light to play 70 minutes in Wednesday afternoon's World Cup warm-up against South Korea at Craven Cottage. Vidic's return will provide Ferguson with a huge boost as defensive partner Rio Ferdinand is still missing with a back problem, while the Red Devils have slipped five points behind leaders Chelsea.
