Former Brazilian International Geovanni claims that Benfica’s Nicolas Gaitan would be better off by signing for Manchester United rather than their cross-town rivals, Manchester City.
The two top clubs of the English Premier League have set their sights on Benfica’s Nicolas Gaitan, who has arguably been one of the best players not only in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 but perhaps even in the highly competitive UEFA Champions League.
Reigning champions, Manchester United, had one of the most explosive starts to their season ever. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
However both the midfielders have been struggling with injuries since then and the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 have also been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
With Giggs and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has rightfully been searching the transfer market for a top quality addition to his squad.
The Scotsman has already stated his admiration for Gaitan and according to reports; he is looking to sign the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658 man before the transfer window closes.
While United maybe able to match the €45 million buyout clause on the player’s services, they will not, however, be able to win a bidding war from Manchester City.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s men are the richest side in the world, thanks to the petro-dollars of their middle-eastern owners and when they want to sign a player, there is little that can prevent them from securing their target.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniele-De-Rossi-c10112 to the Etihad Stadium but the club hierarchy have refused to splash the cash as they look to meet UEFA’s financial regulations.
With his preferred choice out of his reach, the Italian tactician has turned his attention to Gaitan, who could be acquired for less if a comprise is reached with Benfica.
While City could be credited as the front-runners to sign the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 International, former Benfica man Geovanni, who has also played for the Citizens, has urged his fellow South American to sign for United rather than the Blues.
Speaking to reporters, the forward said that Gaitan would be better off at Old Trafford, as he would be able to play on a regular basis, something that would be difficult under Mancini, as the coach already has a plethora of options at the helm.
"City already have a number of attackers and they also have major players on the bench. So, I think he would have more chances to play at United and show his football,” the Brazilian was quoted as saying.
Manchester United could be the ideal destination for Nicolas Gaitan, as he would not only play alongside the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 but he would be able to continue his development under the tutelage of arguably the greatest manager in
history.
