Man Utd, Real Madrid plot against Chelsea

Manchester United have opened talks with Real Madrid about limiting the threat of new European power Chelsea.

AS says dialogue has been held between Real coach Carlos Queiroz and United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, with board level talks also due to begin.

United and Real are discussing the possibility of a wage and transfer fee cap, so to stop one-man club owners like Roman Abramovich and Chelsea from again spending the massive amounts of money he did in August.

United are already in advanced talks with Premiership clubs about the proposal, which will be put forward to the powerful G14 European lobby.
