It has been suggested that the 6+5 rule could actually be legal, if you don't know what the 6+5 rule is, here is a quick explanation.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter wants to apply a rule which means that all clubs at the beginning of a match would have to field at least six homegrown players and five foreign players.
How would this affect Manchester United?

I am not sure whether United would have to field British or English players. If it is British players that United would have to field then it would be a problem since we have players such as- Fletcher, Giggs, Evan's, O'Shea, Rooney, Scholes, Foster, Hargreaves, Carrick, Ferdinand, Neville, Brown, Welbeck, Gibson, Simpson, Campbell and some other youngsters coming through the youth system.

If Man United could only field English youngsters then they could field- Rooney, Scholes, Foster, Hargreaves, Carrick, Ferdinand, Neville, Brown, Welbeck, Simpson and Campbell.

How would you choose the five foreigners?
We have players such as- Van Der Sar, Evra, Nani, Ronaldo, Park, Tevez, Berbatov, Vidic, Anderson, Tosic, Fabio, Rafael, Manucho, Possebon, Kuszczak and a few young foreigners who are playing in the reserves.

Out of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, United would be the team with the most homegrown players. Arsenal and Liverpool would probably be the two worst off and that is out of the whole of the Premier League.

Are you in favour of the 6+5 rule, I haven't quite made my mind up yet. It would be great for the England National team but I'm not sure how it would affect United.
