Manchester United are thinking of acquiring Yaya Toure,
as Owen Hargreaves’ situation does not seem to be getting any
better.
Hargreaves has only appeared in 25 games since arriving at Old
Trafford in 2007, with the Red Devils worrying about his long-term
availability, especially after two major knee surgeries in
successive campaigns.
The Daily Mail are claiming that Man United are planning a raid
of the Nou Camp for Toure. The enforcer's time at the club seemed
to be at an end at the start of the offseason, but with a contract
extension inked, it seems the Ivorian will continue his adventures
with La Blaugrana.
However, with Barca heavily linked with Javier Mascherano and
other similar midfielders, the Red Devils are preparing for the
chance that Pep Guardiola could be tempted to sell for the right
price.
But Toure is viewed as one of the keys to Barcelona's success at
the moment. The Ivory Coast midfielder was ever-present in Barca's
historic treble-winning season, with Guardiola even gambling with
Toure in the centre of defence for the Champions League
final.(espnstar.com)
