Just heard on 98fm that Fergie is preparing a 6 million pound bid. As much as I hate Utd, this would be a GREAT move for him
Somebody on here was saying that they had met his Dad in Israel and he was saying that Shay's move to Man U was in the bag a long time ago. Seems strange that these things aren't kept secret for longer. Great move for him and I think he will become a legend for United ala Smicheal....
If Given leaves Newcastle to whoever, I think Souness was looking at Kenny. This would be good.

Excellent move if its true.I hope he goes there. Better than the other two put together.
First i've heard of the story, should be great for him and manchester united, too many keeper blunders have cost them dearly this season, a safe pair of hands can go a long way ! He'll also play against the cream of european crop in Europe which in turn can only do favours for the national team !
no mention of this anywhere else. carroll has just signed a new contract so I think this might be rubbish.
ive heard this ages ago as well , it would be a great move for him as long as utd get rid of silvestre and brown who put the keepers under a lot of pressure
Great move for him and great move for Man United and Ireladn of course, Man u's lack of a good goalie really let them down this season!!
If he does go through hopefully he'll get plenty of games in Europe...

Didn't Howard get a new contract too?
Ya just remembered hearing that too, he just signed another contract before the final I think...
Hopefully he'll be the number 2But don't think he'll settle for that
The doubts about Shay and penos are all justifiable but I think he is incredibly consistent and the move to United would be great for him and Ireland.(I have heard casillas wanted to go there ... think he said so himself.)
There was a rumour, which everyone denied that Shay was going... remember he came out and asked Souness if he wanted to sell him. Said he was upset by the rumours and was happy... Yeah right Shay
The only thing that goes with the flow is dead fish - Roy Maurice Keane
From Sky sports!!
Manchester United could spring a surprise by signing Roy Carroll to a three-year contract.
Negotiations had stalled with the Northern Ireland international and it was expected that he would leave under the Bosman Ruling in the summer.
With Tim Howard already penning fresh terms and Sir Alex Ferguson likely to bring a new goalkeeper into the club, as has been previously confirmed by chief executive David Gill, any decision to retain Carroll would seem a little puzzling.
"Roy has received certain assurances and David Gill said he would get back to us after the FA Cup final, so we're expecting to sort this out before Roy goes on holiday at the end of the week," agent Francis Martin told The Daily Express.
"We just need to clear up the finer points."
Ferguson has rotated Howard and Carroll this term, appearing to grow impatient with both keepers, but is being tipped to pin his faith in the pair ahead of a crucial season for United.
After a trophyless campaign, The Red Devils have already stressed the need to mount a serious challenge for the title.
I would love to see Given going to Man Utd as he really deserves to be at a top club and challenging for major honours and not in the lower half of the table. BUt i am not sure its true, with Howard and Carroll look likely to be signed up. If Utd sign Carrol on another contract I think they wont win anything next season.
In Trap we trust
He'd be better off going to Liverpool because they're going to be title contenders next season. Man Yoo are a spent force!
If he goes to them he'll get blamed when they lose 7 on the trot and his confidence will take a battering. He'll be a broken man by the time we go to Germany.
Have Boot Disk, will travel
I agree. ONE two-legged match in the last16 every year will do him the world of good.
I disagree Peadar.
The bench definitely needs improving, but with a better goalkeeper behind them, Brown and especially Silvestre will be more composed, the latter went to bits this season.
a team of
Given
Neville Ferdinand Silvestre heinze
Ronaldo Scholes Keane Giggs
Rooney VanNistlerooy
is an equal for anything that Chelsea and Arsenal can put out (though the former will spend heavily on a new striker I'd imagine)
I think United will challenge again next seaason.
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
Yes,they will challenge again for a Champions league spot alright
MOT
spot on onenilgameover, was speaking to shay's da in Ben Guiron airport and he said it was all but a dome deal. Remember where you heard it first
Great move for one of europe's finest

The stumbling block to Shay joining Man Utd is that he will want some guarantee that he plays the majority of match. Shay is not getting any younger, he will not want to warm Man Utd. bench, it was bad enough warming Newcastle's for a while. A lot will also depend on how quick Glazer gets his hands on United. He will make sure he has some control of the purse strings before he possibly drains it dry. What price United move to a green field site for a 80-100,000 seater stadium ?????
A move to Liverpool maybe greater, or even Arsenal
