So this is why Man Utd want to sign Gianluigi Buffon… (with video)
The word on Rumour Street is that Manchester United are keen on signing Gianluigi Buffon next summer, as a replacement for Edwin van der Sar. Watching this double save against Maccabi Haifa, made in the Chaaaaaaaampions League last night, it’s no wonder that Buffon is still rated by many as the best keeper in the world.
I thought Gigi was almost as old as VdS, but I was wrong – the Italian is only 31, despite looking much older, and would be an excellent acquisition for United. Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in Buffon too.
Pies would welcome Buffon to the Prem, if only for more sightings of his charming missus.

Best keeper in the world over the last 10 years. In fact I think he could be one of the best keepers ever.
Look, he’s WHY Italy won the last world cup. He followed Juve (whom I hate) down to Serie B for a season- he’s going nowhere. Man ewww can EAD… .
Shay Given is better
@ Paddy – that’s the thing. I still don’t understand why Fergie has never tried to sign Given. Did Given spill red wine over Fergie’s dinner jacket at a function many years ago?? Strange – Given would have been a great keeper for United, surely.
What’s up with Akinfeev? Buffon will never leave Juve
Given or Buffon, I’d take either of them
