Charlton would love to see Messi in Man Utd Red

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton would love to see Barcelona star Lionel Messi playing for the Reds.

But Sir Bobby accepts it is futile to covet the little genius.

He told the Daily Express: “Messi would be great for anybody... great playing for anyone. I doubt very much whether anybody will ever prise him away from Barcelona but, if they could, they are getting the best player in the world. It is there for all to see and he is just a wonderful, wonderful player.”

Messi is so ***** over-rated

Either any body like or not he is legend already. And whoever get him have an unequating and unstoppable player in their squad.

Messi is d best whether he plays elsewhere or not...
