Manchester United Football Club youngster Giuseppe Rossi admits he would like to play for AC Milan at some stage of his career.

Big things are expected of the former Parma youngster this season, as he gets set to push for a regular place in the Reds side following the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

However, the 19-year-old does not envisage he will be at Old Trafford for the rest of his career, after telling Gazzetta dello Sport of his desire to return to Italy, preferably to Milan.

"My dream is to come back to Italy where there is a more technical and tactical football," Rossi said. "I have a liking for Milan, my idol was Marco van Basten.”

I respect your opinion, however I don't agree with you.
It wouldn't be fair to Rossi if we made him Shevas replacement, plus he has only 4-5 Premier League appearences or something like that. And it does matter who you're coming up against, he won't have the space against bigger and stronger teams like the ones in Serie A, which means he won't be able to create as much or make those fantastic dribbles.

You're right maybe he is too young to just be shoved into Sheva's place and be expected to fill his shoes. But I'm sure he will be able to develop into the type of striker we need.

And again I agree with you that it will be harder for him to make dribbles like he did in serie A, but as an example look at Kaka, when he came he was a huge hit because he was new and the teams and defenders couldn't figure him out and where finding it very hard to mark him, but by the second season he was being very tightly marked and that's why he had a bad season, but he still manged to over come it. This is why I'm saying that if he has the talent and the ambition he can make it, maybe he will find it hard at first but I'm sure that once he settles he would be great. (btw I'm not comparing Kaka and him in any way but was just pointing out that he could go through what Kaka did in his first seasons)
