The English Premier League champions are reportedly looking to sign Benfica’s Nicolas Gaitan, as Tottenham star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 envisions a switch to the Bernabeu.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 already on his way to Old Trafford.
However the veteran manager knows that his side cannot match Manchester City unless they have a prove player within their ranks and for the longest time it seemed that Luka Modric might be the one Ferguson would sign.
A regular at White Hart Lane, the Croatian has been in imperious form during the ongoing European Championships and has oozed class whenever on the pitch. Thus making a move to one of the continent’s bigger clubs a likely possibility.
United, though, have been thrown out of contention for his signature, as it was revealed that the player is yearning a switch to Madrid, where he can partner the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and Mesut Ozil.
With a move for him ruled out, the Red Devils are reportedly weighing up a deal for Nicolas Gaitan, who had been on the radar of the club for quite some time.
Starting the season with some truly sublime performances, the Argentine sent shockwaves across Europe and was a coveted figure with several clubs on his trail. However the major stumbling block in any transfer was the enormous fee demanded by Benfica.
The Reds refused to take down their price and eventually the interest in the midfielder curbed, as his displays become frustrating and uninspiring. But regardless of his drop in form, Manchester United are still allegedly looking to sign him and have stepped
up their interest as Modric is off their list.
Ferguson is a fervent admirer of the Sky Blue International’s ability and has praised him on past occasions. Gaitan could be a perfect fit in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, with his array of attacking skills and goal scoring prowess that secured the Portuguese title for his employers
this term.
Now all that remains in the prospective transfer is the money, which United should shell out considering their much talked about midfield woes.
