Manchester United looking to sign Benfica's Nicolas Gaitan – Primeira Liga News
English Premier League giants, Manchester United, are reportedly eyeing Benfica’s Nicolas Gaitan. The Argentine has been quite impressive since the start of the season and now Sir Alex Ferguson is allegedly keen to acquire his services in January.
Nicolas Gaitan signed for Benfica last year after making the switch from South American side, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658. Although he did not make the headlines in his debut campaign, he scored a decent 9 goals in 47 appearances for the Lisbon outfit.
However his performances in the 2011/2012 season have simply been sensational. Not only has Gaitan found the back of the net twice, but his overall contribution on the pitch has been commendable.
Playing against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League, the forward helped his side break the deadlock with a great cross that was tucked away by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oscar-c28720 Cardozo.
Gaitan picked up the ball on the left and with the outside of his foot, curled a sumptuous pass to his strike partner, who duly obliged with a well taken finish.
His display that night at Estadio da Luz looks to have sparked the interest of the Red Devils and they will now reportedly be looking to secure his services when the transfer window reopens.
