The Red Devils have been busy this summer, sounding out some of the best talent on the continent. Now Bettor.com analyzes the top targets they could sign before the transfer window closes in the first part of this feature series.
1. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 Moura:
The Brazilian prodigy’s name has been on the lips of every Manchester United fan in the last couple of weeks. As a graduate of the famed Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 academy, he took the Campeonato by storm and has whirred up the International arena as well.
Blessed with unmatched skill and guile on the ball, he can effortlessly drift past defenders and give them twisted blood, with one fake swerve after another. His club has benefitted greatly from his performances and have been embroiled in negotiations with
the Premier League giants over a prospective switch to Old Trafford.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson recently revealed his admiration for the player and also hinted that a deal could materialize sooner rather than later.
“We haven’t reached agreement for the player, but we have shown an interest. Until such time as we get an agreement agreed, we cannot say he is our player,” the tactician said.

Still young, he could be taught the United way of play quickly and then be allowed to hone his skills while given regular chances to impress onlookers.
As demonstrated with the Brazilian Olympic Team, he has the talent to cut it at the highest stage and all he needs is a chance to prove himself.
Fergie is renowned for his preference for starlets and the 19-year-old could well prove to be his best acquisition to date, perhaps even surpass the achievements of a certain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629.
Chances of Arrival: 80%
Potential Stumbling Block: £30 Million transfer fee.
2. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380:
The Dutchman’s decision not to renew his contract at the Emirates has not been surprising to say the least, instead it was highly expected.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 were once a club who challenged for trophies and honours in the Premier League, but these days it seems that they more focused on playing beautiful football rather than the scoreline.
Van Persie guided them to a UEFA Champions League berth last time out, but has refused to stay put in London and continue the charade with Arsene Wenger. United have emerged as favourites to sign him, with Ferguson confirming the interest in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753
International.
"Obviously Arsenal have given out the fact that we've made a bid for him. We try to keep business as close as possible to us until the moment we conclude a deal. There's no point talking about something that might not happen. There are other clubs interested
in the player. We've shown an interest and that's where we're at, at the moment,” he said.
The talented front-man could be a superb addition to the Reds’ attack and the thought of him partnering Wayne Rooney will delight supporters and frighten opponents in equal measure.
The 19-time English champions have allegedly launched the bid to lure him to the club and with a firm desire to leave the Gunners this summer, Robin Van Persie could well be on his way to Manchester in the near future.
Chances of Arrival: 60%
Potential Stumbling Block: Too many forwards at the club.
