United in for Forren-er

Manchester United are looking to add to their seemingly endless roster of central defenders according to the Manchester Evening News.  Sir Alex Ferguson, apparently bored of using midfielders in defence has decided to have a look at Vegard Forren.  Forren, 24, plays for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Molde FK in the Norwegian Tippeligaen.  Solksjaer has said that the young centre back "Could play for United, but I don't need to tell him that."

Could Sir Alex be about to break with recent tradition and start playing defenders in defence with Vegard at the vanguard of his plans or will Forren turn out to be another foreigner who doesn't cut the mustard in the Premier League?
