Silvestre and Beckham during happier times
|
Mikael Silvestre believes Manchester United will recruit well enough over the summer to offset the potential loss of David Beckham.
The England captain looks likely to leave United during the close season but with Ronaldinho reportedly their number one target, United will swiftly fill the void, according to Silvestre.
The Frenchman told The Sun newspaper: "It won't change the balance of the team very much.
"Ronaldinho and Beckham do not play in the same position.
"I have not got a clue about Beckham's transfer but what I can say is United
have always been very wise in their recruiting from one season to the next.
"There are only one or two players signed and the signings are carefully
made."
Silvestre believes Ronaldinho would fit in perfectly at Old Trafford but warned that he may not find Manchester to his liking.
"We, the French, had some problems getting used to Manchester," Silvestre
said.
"It is not like London at all. Manchester is the heartland of England and for a South American it could be quite difficult."
French side Paris St Germain are currently trying to fend off reported interest from United and Real Madrid.
