Rossi, who is a free agent having left Italian club Genoa last summer, has been training well with United this week and even impressed visiting former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. 'We're not going to sign Giuseppe, I think, no, but he's trained well with us,' said Solskjaer after the Spurs win on Sunday. 'He looks sharp, he's looking for a club so Giuseppe is probably going to stay with us for another week, unless someone signs him. 'He scored a fantastic goal yesterday [Saturday] in training. The gaffer [Sir Alex] turned around and said 'what about that son?' 'It's a bit of us helping him to get fit before his next move, so if there are any takers you should be quick!'
