Ex-Man Utd starlet declared Milan’s new star in hoax
Author: Andrew AllenAC Milan’s official website announced last night that a deal for Italian international Giuseppe Rossi had been completed with Villarreal, however, the story was quickly retracted in one of the strangest transfer stories of the summer. The former Manchester United striker, who is currently under contract with the Yellow Submarines, has seen his future potential widely discussed in the Italian media with Juventus mooted as a possible destination. It now appears a hoaxer, or indeed an over eager Milanese employee, managed to hack into the San Siro side’s server to publicise the false signing. The rossoneri are known to be actively seeking a new recruit up-front, with Leonardo's side having already failed to sign Wolfsburg goal-machine Edin Dzeko, former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Sevilla hit-man Luis Fabiano. Rossi, an American-born Italian international, made just five league appearances for Manchester United before moving to Spain in 2007, where he has been a revelation in la Liga, bagging 23 goals in 57 league outings. www.sport.co.uk/news/Football/24070/Ex-Man_Utd_starlet_declared_Milan%E2%80%99s_new_star_in_hoax.aspx
