Manchester United Consider Move for £12m Barcelona Star Bojan

Sir Alex Ferguson is reportedly interested in signing Barcelona starlet this summer as he looks to strengthen his attacking options. The Manchester United boss is apparently ready to make an offer for the £12m rated teenager and hopes that he can tempt the Catalan giants into selling a player who is something of a cult hero at the Nou Camp.

The 19 year old attacker has found first team opportunities limited over the past season and may feel that the time is right to make a move from the La Liga title holders now that Pepe Guardiola has signed up David Villa last week.

Manchester United are keen to bring in attacking alternatives to help share Wayne Rooney’s burden. Michael Owen’s constant injury woes and Dimitar Berbatov’s poor form have left Ferguson relying too much on his England international goal machine.

Bojan only managed 16 starts last season but managed to impressively net 12 goals in all competitions.

Manchester United Express Interest In £18 Barcelona Midfielder Yaya Toure

Manchester United are reportedly considering making an offer for Barcelona defensive midfielder Yaya Toure. The Ivorian has struggled to retain a place in the Nou Camp starting line up due to Pepe Guardiola’s decision to turn to youngster Sergio Busquets on a more regular basis and this has left the former Monaco man to consider his future at the Catalan giants.

Sir Alex Ferguson could well do with a solid central midfielder after seeing Owen Hargreaves spend the best part of two seasons out injured. His other options have also suffered severe dips in form with Anderson and Michael Carrick both having very average seasons last term. The likes of Darren Fletcher and Paul Scholes continue to be consistent performers but neither are out and out battlers who actively seek to break down opposition attacks, which is what Toure does best.

An added bonus would be the fact that the 27 year old is also a very adept centre back, as he proved in the 2009 Champions League Final against Man United. Arsenal and Manchester City have both been linked with a move for the battling powerhouse.

The £18m rated Barca man will have to think long and hard about any offers for his services this summer and if he puts in a good World Cup the speculation may increase even further. Yaya will surely not be happy to warm the bench in this period of his career and would surely be interested in a move to Old Trafford.

Man Utd Ready to bid £46 for Ibrahimovic

With David Villa having signed for Barcelona, Spanish daily ‘Sport’ claims that Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be sold for around 50 million Euros to either Manchester United or Manchester City .

Villa’s move to the Nou Camp from Valencia was confirmed yesterday and the striker is expected to be an automatic first choice striker at the Nou Camp, having consistently been one of Spain’s top scorers over the past few seasons.

The move brings into question the future of Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Barcelona. On paper, Ibrahimovic has enjoyed a good first season in Spain, scoring 20 goals in 41 appearances for Barcelona since his high profile move from Inter Milan last summer. However, his performances have been criticised by the notoriously 

 harsh Spanish media.

‘Sport’ speculates that Ibrahimovic wants to stay and prove himself at Barcelona and that the club are happy for him to do so, unless they receive a bid of around 50 million Euros, with the Manchester clubs in prime position. Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini knows Ibrahimovic well from his time at Inter Milan and is assumed to be looking to boost his attacking options. Meanwhile, Sir Alex Ferguson will likely look to add some firepower in order to relieve Wayne Rooney of the goalscoring burden at Manchester United .

Both sides are rumoured to be looking to offload strikers this summer, possibly making further room for Ibrahimovic. Dimitar Berbatov’s future at Manchester United has been in doubt for some time, while Craig Bellamy has been linked with an Eastlands exit as he apparently does not see eye to eye with Mancini.
