After Wolves had been heavily linked with a Move for Manchester United defender Denis Irwin reports died down and it appeard any chance of signing him had past, however, today (Thursday) we have more news. Denis Irwin has rejected a final offer of a new contract from English giants Manchester United and Irwin is expected to decide where he wants to go in the next few days, will it be Wolves?

Speaking to MUTV Irwin said ""After 12 years walking in there and seeing them all pre-season (Manchester United) year in year out, it will be strange. But don't forget I have been at other clubs before United and while you're going to miss the players and the facilities and being on my doorstep, I want to play for another year."

On the subject of making a decision on which club to join he says "I'm still working on it and it will have to be done in the next week or so because teams are going back to pre-season training now,"
"If I'm going to join a team, I would rather be in there from the start so hopefully something will come up in the next week.
"I think the ITV money situation has caused a lot of clubs to sit back, hold tight and see what happens. It's just beginning to roll a bit now and we're seeing one or two players are moving so hopefully that will set the ball rolling."

So we can only sit back and hope....
