Brussels - Standard Liege striker Milan Jovanivic is linked with a winter break move to a top club such as Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, according to Belgian news reports on Wednesday.

The Het Laatste Nieuws daily said that the German champions Munich were ready to splash out 10 million euros (12.6 million dollars) for the 27-year-old Serbian marksman, who has a contract at Staadard until 2010.

But Munich coach Juergen Klinsmann said on Wednesday that he "knows nothing" about such a plan.

London, Dec. 2: Manchester United coach-cum manager Alex Ferguson is nowadays plotting to snare his eleventh title in football.

He believes that in the New Year, his team will be perfectly poised to strike.

“You look at the first half of the season and we’ll have played away to almost every team who finished in the top 10 last season. That’s incredible. I have to say having home advantage against those teams at the end of the season should help us,” he was quoted by the Sun, as saying.
